  • Swapped at Birth: Real Baby Declares War   Chapter 10

    I watched the farce coldly. My tender, childish face was completely devoid of emotion. [And here I thought she might have come up with some brilliant scheme after lying low for three years. Turns out, it's just another run-of-the-mill stunt.]Mom didn't even bother to spare her another glance. "Damian, hold her down and hand her directly to the cops. She's guilty of attempted murder-for-hire, conspiring with a criminal syndicate, and grand theft of major trade secrets. Those three charges together are more than enough to make sure she rots in prison for the rest of her life!""No! Don't call the cops! Save me, Dad! "Help me, Ev, Ez! I'm your most beloved baby sister, Nat!" Natalie shrieked. However, this time, Evan and Ezra gritted their teeth and looked away.Realizing her damsel-in-distress act wouldn't save her, Natalie's mask finally cracked. "What gives any of you the right to judge me with those nauseating looks? Everything this family owns should have been mine! Why is it t

    Scarface sneered, "Don't worry. We get paid to make problems disappear. Let's go, fellas!"The group stealthily approached the villa, jimmied the door lock, and glided inside undetected. "The Fairchild residence's defense is a joke!" Scarface snorted.However, right after Natalie left, a distinct click echoed. The ground gave way beneath him, and he dropped straight down. Immediately following his scream was the harsh clanking sound of metal snapping shut. "Boss!" The lackeys behind him went pale from shock and were just about to rush forward to check when the ceiling above them suddenly split open. More than a dozen massive nets soaked in heavy-duty adhesive came crashing down over them. "Shit! It's an ambush!" The men in black were stuck to the nets, and the more they struggled, the tighter they were glued. In no time, they quickly rolled into a tangled heap Natalie emerged from the study. Realizing that things were going south, she turned around to flee. Yet, she had onl

    Everett scooped me up in his arms, his eyes red from the adrenaline and relief. "Way to go, kiddo! You sure are full of surprises. I can't believe you actually know how to swim! You almost gave your older brother a heart attack just now!"He patted his chest and grinned. "From now on, just stick with me. I'll protect you!"I used my chubby little hand to push away his face with pure disdain. "Everett… dumb. I have… bodyguards!"I rolled my eyes inside my head. [You want me to stick with you? With that simple, smooth brain of yours, who knows who'll be looking out for whom down the road?Exhausted and completely drained, Ethan and Elliot headed upstairs. Evan and Ezra, despite simmering with resentment, could only slink back to their rooms under Mom's scathing glare. Elias, on the other hand, sat in despair inside his utterly hollowed-out bedroom, staring blankly at a dead wall outlet. After Natalie was sent away, the Fairchild residence finally quieted down. Still, I kept my wits

    "Hold it right there!" Natalie was about to be dragged out of the courtyard when a furious roar boomed like a sudden clap of thunder. My father, Elijah Fairchild, stormed into the courtyard. His expression was hardened as he shoved away the bodyguards, who were holding Natalie, and shielded her behind him. Mom's gaze darkened. "What's the meaning of this, Elijah? Are you trying to cover up for a murderer?"Dad looked at me, who was completely drenched from head to toe, and a flicker of guilt flashed through his eyes. Ultimately, though, he gritted out, "I'm aware that Nat made a mistake, but we absolutely cannot call the cops. She cannot end up with a criminal record!""Are you out of your mind?" Mom stared at him in utter disbelief. Dad let out a heavy sigh and closed his eyes. His voice was thick with sorrow as he admitted, "Nat... Her father, Caleb, is my childhood friend and, even more so, my brother-in-arms. If he hadn't thrown himself in front of that rogue truck to save

    I sneered inwardly, "This sucker's about to be fooled again."As expected, Ethan looked down at Natalie, who was crying like she was about to pass out, and a conflicted look flashed across his eyes. In the face of ironclad evidence, his belief in Natalie being "pure and harmless" had completely collapsed; all that remained was disappointment. Yet, he still reached out and grasped Damian's hand, stopping him from using his phone. "Hold on… If you call the cops, the scandal of our family's heiress attempting to murder Nev will make headlines. The company's stock price will crash…"Emerson also frowned, analyzing the situation rationally. "Ethan's right. This concerns our family's reputation. Don't act rashly." But the way they looked at Natalie had already gone cold. Still, there were always a few who seemed to be missing a brain stem. Evan and Ezra, who had just returned, rushed over at that moment. Evan immediately shielded Natalie behind him, tenderly wiping away her tears bef

    Dead silence fell over the courtyard. The wind blew over the pool, creating ripples on the water, but it did nothing to mask the collective gasp that echoed through the air. Everyone looked as if they had been turned to stone, their eyes glued to my dripping-wet figure as I stood there, utterly unfazed, by the edge of the pool. Natalie's wailing ground to a screeching halt, her eyes widening in sheer disbelief. "Y-You're okay?" Ethan pointed at me with a trembling finger.I wrung out the dripping hem of my dress in disgust. "Damian, stop playing dead. Get up and get to work!" Damian, who had been lying on the ground unconscious just moments ago, slowly rose to his feet. He pulled out a digital tablet and handed it to me. I accepted it and clumsily jabbed at the screen, forcing out a taunt. "Pushing me… into this little bit of water... won't drown me!"However, deep down, I had already rolled my eyes all the way to the back of my head. [I can't believe she tried to drown me in
