Lauren Joyner, the housekeeper's daughter, has a theatrical personality. She actually sees herself as the resilient, gentle main character in a beloved-by-all novel. Nathaniel Zimmer, the butler, has barely brought Lauren inside the house when she suddenly starts crying at the sight of the lavish interior. Colton Faulkner, my second-oldest brother, is startled. "What's the matter with you?" Lauren forces a pained expression and says, "I-It's nothing. I just couldn't help thinking about people who don't even have enough to eat when I saw how lavishly you all live. If it were up to me, I'd never spend this much money on a house!" She retreats in a panic when Jude Faulkner, my oldest brother, stands up. She watches him warily and yells, "You'd better stay away from me! I'll never fall for a good-for-nothing scion like you! I won't submit, even if you try to take me by force!" I have never seen Jude and Colton make those expressions before, so I struggle to hold back my laughter. Lauren suddenly turns her attention to me, looking at me disdainfully. "I'm not here to compete with you for a man, so you'd better keep those petty tricks to yourself!" She then turns to Nathaniel and orders him to take her to her room. I smile brightly and say, "I'm sure Ms. Joyner won't need the guest room we have prepared for her, since she has a heart of gold and a spine of steel. Give the storage room a quick cleanup and have her stay there instead, Nathaniel."

Having finally realized what was happening, I regarded Lauren coldly and asked, "What happened to the real Lauren Joyner?"Lauren still refused to confess, so I went right for the kill. "Do you seriously think you're the main character of a novel? You're just plain delusional! You were probably a nobody back in your own world, which is why you started making everything up in your head once you arrived here."Nobody likes you here either! Jude is in love with someone else, Mom and Dad love me more, and Margaret loves the real Lauren! You didn't just steal her life—you dragged her name through the mud, too. You're a total fraud!"Lauren completely lost it and shrieked, "Shut up! You're the fraud! I must have transmigrated here for a reason! You're supposed to be the one beneath my feet! If I get rid of you—the antagonist of the novel—everything will play out exactly as I want!"She rushed toward the fruit knife on the table like a madwoman, grabbed it, and lunged at me.I quickly

Lauren couldn't think of anything to say, so she pulled away from me and ran straight out the door.I paused for a moment, then figured I should warn Jude, just in case something went wrong.Just then, Yvonne called. "Isla, my family just opened a new fine-dining restaurant! Why don't you come check it out and show some support? You've always been a connoisseur since we were kids, after all! We can hit the mall before that, too!"Hearing that, I instantly tossed every other concern aside. "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"Yvonne and I went shopping and basically bought everything we liked. If it looked good, we bought it. If it was something novel and interesting, we bought it. We had our purchases delivered home, then went to try the food at Yvonne's family's restaurant.I had barely stepped through the door when I heard an argument. I looked over and immediately realized a full-blown drama was unfolding. It seemed like some scumbag had been caught two-timing, and he had just

When I saw that message, I couldn't help but chuckle. But then I remembered what Mom and Dad had said and thought about Margaret.Margaret started working for my family before I was born. She had always been hardworking, dependable, and honest, never hesitating to pick up the slack even when a job wasn't technically hers. That was why Mom and Dad trusted her so much, assigning her any sensitive tasks she was capable of, with extra pay included. Margaret's pay was fairly good, so their family wasn't badly off at all. Yet, Lauren kept claiming poverty and accusing us of disdain. If anything, she was the one looking down on herself and on Margaret.Though annoyed by the thought, I still replied, "It doesn't matter. Let's just do our own thing and ignore her when the time comes. If she does something weird or says something crazy, just pretend you didn't see it or hear it, and deal with everything else as usual."Yvonne and I chatted for a while longer before heading offline.The n

Though Yvonne, my scatterbrained friend, wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed, her mouth moved at light speed. She ripped right into Lauren. "Oh, cut the crap, Lauren! Isla told us to run upstairs to watch the fun! "We've got way more class than you do! We're not like you, spending every day being delusional and thinking that everyone admires you! What a joke!"Yvonne's words tore into Lauren, but I got caught in the crossfire too. I stared at Yvonne with a resentful look, but she assumed I was praising her and gave me a goofy thumbs-up. I caught Mom and Dad's murderous glares fixed on me once again, then resigned myself to burying my face in the pillow.Once everyone was gone, I lay face down on my bed and protested in the family group chat. "You're both so ruthless, Mom and Dad! I'm not a little kid anymore! How can you still spank me on my backside in front of everyone?"Dad replied, "Your mother and I had no idea you'd picked up the habit of throwing cash around to impress
