Switched at Birth

Sophie had slapped Emma so hard that her entire head snapped to one side, but Emma's expression was unfazed. It was as if she was already used to such mistreatment. Julie watched in silence for a few moments before clapping in delight. "You're strong, Aunt Sophie!"Julie's approval seemed to please Sophie very much, because she cocked her arm back and slapped Emma a second time. Julie clapped even harder, but all of a sudden, she clutched her chest and said in short gasps, "Aunt Sophie, help me! My heart hurts… Help me!" Sophie quickly called out to me, "Claire, where's the medicine? What are you standing there for? Get the medicine!"Before I could even reply, Sophie sprinted across the room, located the first-aid kit and found Julie's heart medicine. She poured a glass of water and slipped the pill down Julie's throat so swiftly as if she had done this a thousand times.

In order to perfect every recipe, she tried and experimented countless times, just to get every morsel of food down to perfection. That was rather excessive to me. I could not help but mock Sophie for it, joking that n

Upon arrival at the police station, I was stationed in a room with a camera pointing at my face. I revealed the truth. "Eighteen years ago, I watched a nurse take my daughter away from me, but when she returned, it was not the same child I had given birth to. She had switched out my daughter with my former best friend, Sophie's. When I tried to get my child back, I heard something that devastated me."I heard Sophie say that she had bribed the nurse into switching our two children because she wanted to torment my child. She wanted to see my daughter and I in pain everyday because it brought her joy to hurt me."The policemen fell silent. Even the people watching the livestream online seemed to be in shock as a few minutes had passed without any response.After a few minutes, the comments appeared on the screen. [Goodness, that's the most evil thing i've ever heard!][Sophie looks like she wouldn't hurt a fly. Who would've thought she could be so vicious?][Aren't they best fri
