Saved By the Bullet Comments

I was the heiress of the wealthy Shaw family, and everyone adored me.

Everyone except my brother. He had always dreamed of swapping me out for a different little sister.

When I was three, he secretly switched me with the nanny's daughter. When my parents, Zane and Theresa, found out, they smacked his butt until it was red and sore.

When I was five, he left me in a park. In the end, he was the one who almost got kidnapped by traffickers. He was only saved because the police happened to pass by.

When I was fifteen, he got some punk with dyed hair to hit on me. It turned out the guy liked men and ended up following my brother for three days and three nights instead.

After that, my brother actually behaved for a few years, and I thought he had finally accepted me as his sister.

I never thought that on New Year's Eve, he would give me a huge surprise on the one night the whole family was together,

"Dad, Mom, today I'm going to expose Joan as a fake! She doesn't deserve to eat the Shaw family's New Year's Eve dinner!" Casper suddenly shot to his feet, pulled out a little hammer, and smashed the wineglass in front of me.

Wine splashed all over me, and Mom hurried over with paper towels, frantically trying to wipe the wine off me. Dad slammed his hand on the table, frowning as he yelled at Casper. "Where are your manners?! Who told you that you could bully your sister like this?!"

He just gave me a look full of contempt, then turned and led a girl in from the doorway.

She was wearing the haute couture dress that had been made for my eighteenth birthday, the sapphire necklace Mom had given me, and the emerald bracelet Dad had bought me on her wrist.

I glared at the culprit. "Casper, what's wrong with you? You smash a wineglass for no reason and just hand my things to someone else like they're nothing?!"

Casper threw a paternity test report at my face and said smugly, "Because Jenny Ford is the true heiress of the Shaw family, the real daughter Mom and Dad actually gave birth to. You stole the first half of Jenny's life. So what if you have to hand over a few things? They were hers to begin with!"

As he spoke, he pushed Jenny in front of us so that everyone could see her face clearly.

Mom and Dad both froze. Jenny really looked too much like Mom.

Mom took great care of herself and looked like she was barely in her twenties. The two of them stood face to face like they were looking into a mirror. Meanwhile, I didn't look much like Mom as I stood off to the side.

My heart tightened. I was about to grab the report Casper had just thrown at me when I suddenly saw words floating above Jenny's head.

[Finally, this is not the same old real versus fake heiress story. After the female lead goes back to her rich family, she is going to start a romance with the imposter son.]

[Real heiress versus imposter son heir. I love this pairing choice.]

I was so shocked I stumbled back, and the bullet comments on Jenny's head vanished. I rubbed my eyes, stepped forward again, and the comments reappeared.

[So, this is the real heiress's unlucky little victim?]

[The female supporting character really has it rough. One paternity test, and the whole family decides she is the fake heiress. The female lead is hostile to her, and the imposter son keeps making things hard for her. Even her parents, Zane and Theresa, grow distant. She gets sent to the Ford family to suffer, but in the end, it turns out to be one big misunderstanding. Who would not have a villain arc after that?]

Real heiress?

Imposter son?

Unlucky victim?

There was too much information. I stood there in a daze while Casper shielded Jenny behind him as though I was a thief and snapped at me, "Don't even start getting any bad ideas. If you dare hurt Jenny, I won't show you any mercy! Remember this. Jenny is my real sister who shares my blood, and you're nothing but a fake who stole her place!"

I understood it now.

It was not about me being a fake heiress… It was about the imposter son!

Casper was the imposter!
