Author: Midnight Manuscript
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall lounge in Arvona, Marie looked at the time; her face darkened.

"It's been half a month since Piper contacted us. Her temper is really getting out of hand," she complained.

Ezra frowned, dialing my old number on his phone.

A cold, automated voice came through the line. "I'm sorry. The number you've dialed is no longer in service."

Ezra's face grew grim.

Yves walked over and handed him a glass of wine. "Ezra, just let her be. She doesn't have money or a high sch

    The Steeles also sought me out.Marie looked haggard, and her hair had completely turned gray. She held my hand and wept with anguish. "Piper, please help your dad. We don't have enough money for the surgery. He's going to die. Please save your brother, too. The loan sharks have driven him to the point where he's thinking of ending his life."I pulled my hand away and looked at her frostily. "You've come to the wrong person. My last name is Shaw, not Steele. I don't have a dad or a brother.""But you're related to them by blood!" Marie yelled.I walked away without responding.Damon died three days later in the hospital because he couldn't afford the surgery. As for Yves, he fell from the third floor while trying to flee from the loan sharks and was left paralyzed.Marie, unable to bear the blow, lost her mind. She scavenged through trash on the street every day, muttering, "Piper, I made some soup for you."Rhea, who was living with a broken leg, had to beg for alms under the o

    Henry visited me once in late autumn, when Jeston was carpeted with fallen leaves. He was dressed in a tailored suit, looking vastly different from when I first saw him.He sat down, fixing his gaze on me. "You did me a huge favor. I can give you anything you want."I met his eyes. "I don't need anything."Silence filled the air between us for a long time.Then he spoke. "Ezra is working at a construction site now. He owes the loan sharks money, and they beat him up every day. The Steeles went bankrupt, and Yves had to work as a delivery rider. Unable to cope with the drastic change in her life, Rhea had to work as a hostess at a bar and had her leg broken by a group of thugs."Is this the revenge that you wanted?"I didn't respond, turning my head to look at the autumn leaves. There was no sense of satisfaction in getting my revenge. All I felt was just exhaustion."Thanks for telling me this. Don't come here again."Henry stood up, giving me a long look before he left.Ezra

    A month later, a shocking piece of news shook the Locke family. Henry walked into Locke Corporation's shareholders' meeting with the DNA test report.The Locke couple were shocked when they saw the results. After verifying the authenticity of the report, they realized that Henry was indeed their long-lost biological son, while Ezra was merely the child who had been mistakenly switched with him at birth.The revelation instantly made the headlines.Ezra completely broke down. He couldn't accept that he had fallen from the position of the Locke family's heir to a fake with nothing left.The Locke couple had raised him for 20 years, sharing a deep bond with him. But Henry was ruthless. He laid out all the evidence of Ezra's embezzlement of company funds and the money he had secretly transferred to the Steele family over the years.Among them was the bill for the tens of millions he had spent to book the film studio.The Locke couple were devastated.Henry immediately canceled all o

    Damon, Marie, and Yves showed up at Jeston University too, stopping me outside my dorm.Marie immediately ran over, tears streaming down her face, wanting to hug me.I dodged her embrace."Piper, I was wrong. I'm so sorry," Marie said. Damon had to support her, as she could barely stand, weeping uncontrollably.Yves looked at me with reddened eyes, his voice hoarse. "Piper, come home with me. Rhea doesn't want the special admission opportunity anymore, and we discovered that she poisoned Lucky herself. We were wrong. We've already kicked her out. You'll be the only daughter of the Steele family."I looked at these people, my so-called blood family, and found the whole situation absurd. "Kick her out? There's no need to do that. She actually fits into the family well.""Piper, your hand…" Damon stared at my empty right sleeve.My arm hadn't been amputated. Due to a lack of strength and nerve pain, I had a habit of keeping it tucked inside my sleeve. "I don't need your concern."

    Ezra waited for me at Jeston University's entrance for three days.On the fourth afternoon, I left the library holding a few books. I walked slowly, keeping my right hand in my pocket.Ezra immediately spotted me and rushed over. He had lost a significant amount of weight, and his eyes were bloodshot. Stubble had grown on his chin. His voice trembled when he spoke. "Piper…" I stopped in my tracks and looked at him. "I'm Piper Shaw."Ezra's gaze was fixed on my right hand. He reached out, trying to touch me.I immediately stepped backward.His hand froze mid-air as tears streamed down his face."Let me… take a look at your hand," Ezra begged."For what? Do you want to see how you dislocated it, or how you spent a fortune to have someone break it?"Ezra dropped to his knees abruptly. Even though there were many people around us, he paid them no heed. "I didn't know… Piper, I didn't know they'd actually harm you. I thought it was just an act," he said, grabbing the hem of my shi

Once she knows how hard it is to survive out there, she'll come running back."With reddened eyes, Rhea said, "Yves, Ezra, is Piper still holding a grudge against me? It's my celebration banquet today. If she doesn't come, people will start gossiping.""Nobody will dare gossip about this." Ezra massaged his temples. "It's your special day. Don't let her ruin it."Soon, the banquet began, and Damon took the stage, thanking the guests. "Today is a day worth celebrating, for my daug
