My best friend, Scarlett Throne, is diagnosed with cancer. After running away from home, she takes her own life. She leaves behind only a testament and a pair of eight-year-old twins, a boy and a girl. "You're the only person I can rely on in this world. I'm not asking you to adopt them, but just make sure they have enough to eat." Out of compassion, I take the siblings in. For the next 20 years, my husband and I have been working hard together to raise them, buying them cars and houses. But one day, my adopted daughter reports my husband for being abusive toward her. Even my supposedly dead best friend suddenly appears and testifies against him. I demand to know why she does such a thing. My best friend, filled with righteous indignation, says, "I see you as my best friend! I've never thought you adopted my children just to serve your husband's perversions!" My husband's reputation is ruined, and he's been thrown in jail. I desperately try to prove his innocence, only to be forcibly sent to a mental hospital by my adopted son. There, I wither away and die. When I open my eyes again, I find myself back on the very day my best friend was diagnosed with cancer.

The public opinion shifted overnight."That little girl is terrifying. How could she do something like that?""Thank God for the security footage, or else that couple would've been ruined." "No way! Are kids these days so manipulative?""Stop saying children are always innocent. Think about what you were like at that age." "Can you imagine if people had actually believed her? That poor man would've never cleared his name." Since the twins were still young, the police decided not to press charges against them. They just gave the twins a stern lecture and made them write a formal apology. That was the end of the matter.It was also clear that we could no longer keep the twins with us.We wouldn't want any more trouble down the line.That was when Scarlett seized her opportunity.She rushed over in tears, collapsing to the ground and screaming at the top of her lungs, "Felicity, you monster! I trusted you with my kids, and this is how you treat them? Do you even have a cons

From that point on, Elio and I completely changed the way we treated the twins. We used to worry about their studies, help with homework, and check their assignments. But now, we couldn't care less. Whether their grades went up or down, we paid no attention to them.They were ungrateful brats anyway, so we shouldn't waste our effort on them.We only handled their basic survival needs. I still cooked for them every day, but I no longer bothered about their nutrition like I used to.As for their clothes, we bought the cheapest ones without caring about their disapproving looks. When they cried, complained, or made unreasonable demands, we simply turned them out.My attitude caused a ripple effect. Someone online claimed I was secretly mistreating the kids and never gave them any pocket money.People on social media started gossiping and criticizing me endlessly.So, I put together a detailed presentation to break down all the monthly expenses for the twins, from their meals

To address those who still doubted me and to keep a record of this unusual experience, I recorded every visit to the orphanage and every bit of help I offered the children. Then, I compiled everything into photo posts I shared online. To avoid their constant harassment and prevent them from coveting our house, Elio and I decided to play along strategically.We found one of Elio's most trusted relatives and officially transferred the house under their name.After handling the paperwork, we began subtly spreading bad news within the neighborhood and any social circle the kids might be connected to.With a weary and troubled expression, I went around spreading rumors."My husband's business hit a huge snag. He's deep in debt, so we had to sell the house to pay it off. Now we're barely scraping by."Even so, I would still add, "Times are hard, but I'll still do whatever I can for those two kids. They're pitiful, after all."I thought pretending to be broke and struggling would make

I looked up at the two kids in front of me. They were just like their mother, adept at putting on a show."Ms. Quinn, we're not freeloading. This money is what Mommy left us to live on. Please, take us in, and I promise to take good care of you when I grow up."With trembling hands, Charlene took out a passbook and forced it into my handbag.I pretended to be heartbroken and handed it back."Darling, you're such a poor thing. But I'm not your family, so I can't take this."I turned to the officers and asked them to find a good orphanage for the kids.The officers seemed to understand. After all, I wasn't the kids' legal guardian, so it wasn't my responsibility to raise them.Caleb's expression changed when he saw one of the officers making a call to his relatives. Panic and anger flashed across his face.He quickly grabbed my hand. "Ms. Quinn, please don't send us to an orphanage. Don't be so cruel."I sighed helplessly. "Kid, I'm not your family. But I'll visit you when I can
