My Cousin, The Impostor

Everyone went quiet as I kicked Tanya Hall to the floor.Letitia Ingram, my personal butler, was shaking in fear. She tried to help Tanya, but a glare from me made her remain in her spot. "Letitia, despite working for the Gould family for so many years now, are you still unaware of who your real employer is?"With her hands frozen in the air, Letitia looked at me in terror. "M-Miss…"I strode up to the seat in the center, reserved for the daughter of the Gould family, and slowly sipped from a teacup before asking airily, "What's the matter? Do you want to help her up? Sure. Go ahead. Once my father comes home in a few days, I'll tell him to fire you."Upon hearing that, Letitia turned pale from fright. She vehemently shook her head before hurrying over to me, too scared to even spare a glance at Tanya.Tanya's eyes immediately pooled with tears. In that pitiful state, she turned her gaze onto the surrounding young women from various established families, and as expected, everyone

Scoffing, Amy said imperiously to me, "You're still being so stubborn! Soon, Tanya will have both the Gould family and the Burke family backing her up, so let's see what's going to happen to you then!"She even crouched down to grab me by the jaw.In my previous life, I put up with everything and avoided all conflict, but all I got in return was humiliation and death. This time around, I wasn't going to repeat my mistakes!My gaze turned to ice as I deftly dodged Amy's hand. Then, I grabbed her by the wrist and twisted it hard.Amy shrieked in anguish, and I seized this chance to throw her to the floor. Dad was the one who personally taught me this self-defense technique.Tanya didn't expect me to fight back either. She froze in shock.Dusting my hands off, I eyed them coldly and smirked. "What is it? Do you guys want to get a taste of it too?"As soon as I said that, a shrill, frantic voice screamed, "How preposterous!"It was Naomi. She'd finally arrived.As soon as she ente

One of the housekeepers, who never showed me any respect, even dared to refute me. I figured she was used to having Tanya on her side.She muttered, "Does Mrs. Gould know about this? Mrs. Gould loves Ms. Hall the most…"Too lazy to bother with her, I had Letitia bring out the termination contracts and instructed her, "If anyone protests, have them sign the contract and leave the family. Let's see who would dare to hire them." At the threat of being fired, the housekeeper looked up in shock. She cried out in panic, "You wouldn't dare! Mrs. Gould is the one who has the final say in this household, and I'm in charge of taking care of Ms. Hall! You have no right to fire me!"Chuckling, I retorted, "Well, I kicked out your precious Ms. Hall already, and I can do anything I want with you too!"Ignoring her cries, I walked out of the room, only to bump into Naomi at the door. Her well-maintained face was twisted up in fury. Evidently, she heard what I said just now. "Sophie! Have you

Despite the tongue-lashing Grandma gave him, Richard refused to give up. He kept his eyes fixed on me. After all, just a few days ago, I was head over heels for him and wanted nothing more than to devote myself to him.Holding back the urge to laugh, I spat at him before remarking in derision, "Why is there a stray dog barking its head off in the house?"I looked at Peter and said, "We need to hire a few more security guards for the Gould residence, preferably fearsome ones. We wouldn't want more random strays off the street to come in and sully the place."Richard didn't expect me to react this way. Turning scarlet, he wanted to fly off the handle, but under Grandma's threatening gaze, he had no choice but to hold his rage in and say, "This isn't like you, Sophie."Having witnessed everything, Tanya, still on her knees, hurriedly hugged Richard's legs and wailed, "I'll do it, Richie. I'll leave with you right now. Let's get married right away!"Richard was already brimming with p

After a severe thrashing, Naomi lay helplessly on the floor. Tanya's face was ashen as she trembled uncontrollably. She dared not even lift her head.Even so, I thought they deserved everything that happened to them!The news of Dad's return spread all over Arberton, and those who wanted to ingratiate themselves with the family came slinking over with gifts in hand.However, they were greeted by the sight of Dad's outrage and Naomi's state of near-death. Thunderstruck, no one dared to make a single sound.I instantly spotted Amy, who was hiding in the back. Gesturing toward her, I called out, "Why are you hiding, Amy? Didn't you call me a needy relative? Weren't you waiting to see what would happen to me? Did you come here to see Tanya? Unfortunately for you, she's in a bit of a predicament herself right now."After hearing what I said, Hank turned purple. He grabbed Amy and slapped her, growling, "You foolish thing! You're a disgrace! Get out of here. Don't you ever go anywhere w
