Chapter 5

Soon after, Mom's assistant sent over my cremation certificate.

Mom stared at it, frozen, unable to move. Her hand unconsciously loosened, and the phone slipped to the floor. Her lips trembled as she muttered to herself, "Impossible… impossible…"

Then, with a sudden surge of anger, she snatched up the phone and called the funeral home.

She screamed, cursing them without restraint.

"How dare you claim my daughter is dead! Cassidy isn't dead at all—this cremation certificate is fake! Fake! I'm

    The elite bodyguards quickly subdued Rachel and her entourage.Mom's eyes were red, her fingers gripping Rachel's jaw with iron resolve."It's your turn to rot in the basement! I'll make sure you pay a terrible price for your sins!"Now truly afraid, Rachel fell to her knees, begging, "Mom, I was wrong! I'll never do it again! We've been mother and daughter for so many years… please, just forgive me this once!"Mom's eyes blazed with fury. She tightened her grip."Never! All the suffering Cassidy endured over the years will be returned to you twofold!"The elite guards roughly threw Rachel into the dark, damp basement.Mom's fists clenched as she remembered the pain I had endured. Gritting her teeth, she ordered the guards."Gather all evidence of Rachel's crimes immediately!"Meanwhile, Rachel threw a tantrum, smashing everything in the basement. She screamed endlessly, demanding to be let out.I floated above, watching her rage, feeling a grim satisfaction. She had assumed

    "You were the one who publicly declared that you disowned Cassidy, so everyone assumed I was the sole heir." Rachel stood, locking eyes with Mom. "Mom, you're old and confused. From now on, I'll run the company and manage the Porter family."The guards produced a pre-drafted contract, circling Mom.Rachel crossed her arms, her voice dripping with arrogance."Mom, just sign it already."Mom clenched her fists, struggling to keep her rage in check."When did you start planning this?"Rachel sneered."After your worthless husband—my father—passed away, I began orchestrating everything."She stepped closer, a smug smile tugging at her lips."Actually, I knew since I was three that I wasn't your daughter. But because I was sick for so long, I had to keep pretending to be your little girl—to get money for treatment and live comfortably."Her eyes glinted with triumph."I never intended to claim the Porter family fortune outright. I only wanted to drive Cassidy away. But you still

    Mom glared at Bruce."What are you saying? Are you planning to lay a hand on Rachel? Don't you dare touch her!"Bruce let out a bitter laugh."Rachel isn't your daughter at all. Your youngest daughter died from a premature birth years ago. Your husband replaced her with his illegitimate child."Mom's face darkened."Bruce, you'll get the compensation you want. But if you keep lying, not a single cent will reach you!"Fear did not cross Bruce's face. He pulled out a DNA report showing Mom and Rachel.The results were unmistakable: there was no mother-daughter relationship between them.I glanced at Mom's face and remembered how, as a child, everyone said I looked like her. But my sister—Rachel—looked like neither Mom nor Dad. Whenever someone teased, Mom would scowl, favoring Rachel deliberately.And now it all made sense: this "sister" had been born of an affair.Mom's eyes were bloodshot as she spoke in a low, cutting voice, "Guards! Bring Rachel back home immediately—by for

    Seeing Mom in such a disheveled state, the mysterious man sneered."This is karma!"Her face darkened instantly, and she opened her mouth to respond—but he removed his mask, revealing a face scarred by severe burns."Bruce? Your face…"Mom froze, recognizing him as the former butler who had vanished three years ago.Bruce Walker's eyes burned with hatred as he pointed to his scars."All these scars… your youngest daughter caused them! Madam, the jewelry that disappeared three years ago wasn't stolen by Cassidy—it was Rachel who had me hide it… to frame Cassidy!"His voice rose sharply."Then Rachel tried to eliminate witnesses, using your influence to set fire to my entire family. I begged you for help, but you continued to indulge her! So I had to wait three years for my revenge. Now, I've destroyed the last of Cassidy's ashes—and I'm here to expose your other daughter, Rachel, for the monster she really is!"Mom stumbled backward, tears streaming uncontrollably.After a lon

Cassidy isn't dead at all—this cremation certificate is fake! Fake! I'm suing your funeral home!"After hanging up, her hands shook uncontrollably. She bit her lip, forcing herself to stay calm.She called her assistant again, her voice quivering."Go to the hospital immediately. Investigate Cassidy's emergency records… and her death certificate."She muttered under her breath, "It's fine… this is all Cassidy's trick. She's still alive!"But soon, Mom could no longer hold back. She began hurling objects across the room. The more she threw, the more her body sh

    Mom let out a cold laugh."She's not dead. She's still alive; she just refuses to save her sister."The foreign doctor immediately pulled up his phone, showing the hospital records from three years ago that documented my death during emergency treatment.Mom stared at the screen, then studied the doctor's face intently. Her expression darkened."I've never seen you before! You're one of Cassidy's actors, aren't you? Looks like this death record is fake too! I can't believe Cassidy would go through all this trouble just to get out of saving her sister."Before she could react further, the masked man called again via video."Madam, this is your last chance. If you don't pay one million, I'll dump your daughter's remaining ashes!"Mom lost control, her fury explosive."Dump it! Dump it now! I will not pay a cent!"The man poured the ashes into the sewer."You'll regret this!" he sneered.Tammy wailed, her voice ragged with grief. "Please! Don't!"She crawled painfully across t
