Chapter 4

Author: Perfect Timing
The shout rang out with unmistakable authority, freezing everyone in place.

The two guards holding me instinctively let go.

The entire hall fell silent, every head turning toward the sound.

On the staircase stood a tall, imposing middle-aged man, striding down with quiet power.

He wore a perfectly tailored suit, his steps steady, his gaze sharp as a hawk.

Wherever he passed, the crowd parted without thinking.

It was my father—the chairman of the Shaw Group, Victor Shaw.

  • The Fake Heiress Insists I’m the Real One   Chapter 8

    My father looked at Anna, a flicker of pity crossing his eyes.He turned to his assistant. “Give her a sum of money. Arrange a decent place for her to stay, and a proper job.”“Yes, Mr. Shaw.”I shook my head.“Dad, giving someone a fish is never as good as teaching them how to fish.”I looked at Anna. “Would you be willing to work at our company?“Start from the bottom. Build your own life, the way you want it.”Anna froze for a moment, then something lit up in her eyes.She nodded hard. “I will! I will!”Compared to money, what she needed was a chance to stand on her own and reclaim her dignity.My father glanced at me, approval in his eyes.“Alright. We’ll do it your way.”He didn’t spare another look at the Lawson family, now reduced to a complete spectacle. Wrapping an arm around my shoulders, he turned to leave.“Mr. Shaw! Miss Shaw! Wait!”Brian suddenly broke free from the guards and scrambled toward us, dropping to his knees and clutching at my leg.“Miss Shaw, I was wrong! I

    Luna finally snapped out of it. She rushed toward my father, trying to grab at the hem of his trousers.“No! Mr. Shaw, please! You can’t do this! We know we were wrong. We really do!”The bodyguards stepped in and blocked her.She turned and lunged at me instead, crying hysterically.“Sister, no, Miss Shaw, please! Ask your father to spare us!“I’ll give everything back to you! I don’t want anything anymore! I’ll give you my parents back! I’ll give Brian back too!”I looked at her and almost laughed.“Aren’t they your parents? Isn’t Brian the love of your life?“How did they suddenly become things you can just hand back to me?”Luna was left speechless, reduced to nothing but desperate sobbing.Just then, my father’s assistant hurried over and whispered something in his ear.My father frowned slightly.He glanced toward the corner, where the server who had been trembling the entire time stood.“Bring her here.”The girl in the server’s uniform was led over to us.She was thin, her head

    Jasmine looked like all the color had been drained out of her, her face gone pale and hollow.Her lips trembled as if she wanted to speak, but not a single word came out.Just then, a voice carrying a trace of laughter drifted down from the staircase.“Mr. Shaw, why have you come down? Weren’t we about to have another drink?”It was Dylan.His face was flushed with excitement, clearly pleased with how the discussion upstairs had gone, completely unaware that everything below had already fallen apart.As he descended the stairs and saw Brian kneeling on the ground and his wife and daughter looking ashen, the smile on his face froze instantly.“What… what’s going on here?”He looked at Jasmine in confusion.As if grabbing onto a lifeline, Jasmine scrambled toward him.“Honey! You have to explain this to Mr. Shaw! It’s all a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!”Dylan was completely lost, but he still forced a flattering smile toward my father out of instinct.“Mr. Shaw, please don’

    My father’s question hit like a hammer to Brian’s chest.His lips trembled, but not a single word came out.Luna tried to hold on, clutching his arm as she cried, “Brian, this… this is the one you gave me! Tell Mr. Shaw, tell him!”But Brian recoiled as if she were something contagious, shaking her off immediately.“Don’t talk nonsense!”Right now, all he wanted was to distance himself from her.My father let out a cold laugh, his gaze shifting to Brian.“Brian, if I remember correctly, your father, Andrew Cook, is a vice president at one of my subsidiaries, isn’t he?”Brian lowered his head even further, his voice barely audible. “Y-Yes, Mr. Shaw.”“Good.” My father nodded. “Then tell me, based on your father’s salary, plus whatever allowance you get, could you afford that watch?”He pointed at the watch in Luna’s hand, his voice rising sharply.“That Patek Philippe Celestial… It was something I purchased at a Geneva auction last year for two million for my daughter Risa’s eighteenth

    The shout rang out with unmistakable authority, freezing everyone in place.The two guards holding me instinctively let go.The entire hall fell silent, every head turning toward the sound.On the staircase stood a tall, imposing middle-aged man, striding down with quiet power.He wore a perfectly tailored suit, his steps steady, his gaze sharp as a hawk. Wherever he passed, the crowd parted without thinking.It was my father—the chairman of the Shaw Group, Victor Shaw.The smug look on Jasmine’s face froze, replaced instantly with panic.She hurried forward, forcing a stiff smile.“M-Mr. Shaw! Why have you come down?“Aren’t you still speaking with my husband? How dare I let such a small matter trouble you?”My father didn’t spare her a glance. He walked straight through the crowd and came to my side.The moment he saw my reddened wrists and pale face, fury flared in his eyes.He took off his suit jacket and draped it over my shoulders, pulling me protectively behind him.His voice t

    When Jasmine saw that Brian had been kicked, her expression darkened completely.She crossed her arms and looked down at me, as if I were something beneath notice.“Shameless! And you even dare to lay hands on someone.”She turned to the surrounding guests, her voice calm but carrying clearly across the room.“My apologies for the scene. We thought we had found family, but it turns out to be nothing more than an ungrateful stray.“The Lawson family may not sit at the very top, but we don’t tolerate thieves making a scene under our roof.”With those words, she had already painted me as guilty.[Mrs. Lawson said that so well. She’s calm, composed, and completely reasonable.][Compared to her, this woman looks like a total shrew.][Just call the police already. There’s no point wasting words on her.]With Jasmine’s backing, Brian grew even more emboldened. He yanked hard on my arm, trying to drag me aside.“Didn’t you hear? Give it back!”The force made me stumble. At the end of my patien
