Semua Bab Ripping off the Fake Heiress' Mask: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Aspen Miller stumbled from the slap I gave her. Her veil slipped off as she held her cheek, staring at me in disbelief. "Alice Lowe! Are you insane?" she shrieked. "How dare you hit me! Do you even know what you're doing?"I glared at the shameless woman in front of me. My body trembled, and I could still feel my anger boiling inside me.In my previous life, I had been kidnapped as a child and sold to a remote mountain village. That was how I ended up with the Miller family. When my biological parents finally found me, I learned I was the only daughter of the prestigious Lowe family.As I was leaving, I felt sorry for Aspen. I was worried that she'd end up being treated like a maid in that mountain village who preferred sons over daughters. So, I begged my parents to take her in as the Lowes' adopted daughter.What I hadn't expected was that I'd be bringing a wolf into the house. Aspen not only stole my fiancé, Adrian Ford, but she also manipulated me relentlessly. She ultimately

Knowing Adrian was on his way, Aspen showed no fear. Instead, she doubled down with a smug provocation. "Go ahead. Let's have Ian tell everyone here who his real fiancée is!"I couldn't help but silently mock my past self. How foolish had I been to let them play me so easily?In my previous life, Aspen had revealed the truth to me only at the very end. "Your fiancé couldn't resist the temptation at all. I just wore your camisole to his room, and he couldn't hold back."It turned out she had been seducing Adrian all along, ultimately becoming the perfect image of his ideal woman. Because of my past of getting kidnapped as a child and enduring years of hardship, I had cherished Aspen as a sister. I had trusted her blindly, and she had used that trust to steal Adrian from me when I least expected it. Meanwhile, Adrian had only agreed to our engagement for his own selfish reasons. Thinking of that now, I quietly composed and sent a text message.Before long, Adrian arrived, breathl

On the way back to the Ford estate, Mr. Ford kept glancing at me. His lips kept parting as if he was about to speak, but then he closed them again. He seemed unsure of what to say. Even so, I could guess what was on his mind—it was likely guilt.Adrian's actions didn't reflect poorly on Mr. Ford. Ever since my parents passed away in an accident, he had brought me into the Ford family and treated me like his own daughter. I never doubted his kindness.Trying to break the slightly awkward silence in the car, I spoke up. "Mr. Ford, there's no need to feel guilty. You raised me, and I'm truly grateful for that. Even if I can't be your daughter-in-law, I can still be your goddaughter."And if anyone owes anyone an apology, it's me. I shouldn't have brought Aspen along into the Ford estate in the first place."Hearing this, Mr. Ford suddenly laughed, his eyes crinkling. "That ungrateful son of mine… He truly doesn't know what he's lost!""Exactly," I agreed in my mind.Before my parent

I took a few screenshots and sent them to Mr. Ford with the message, "Mr. Ford, what do you think of your future daughter-in-law's clever tactics?"His response was immediate, "Don't let it get to you, Ally. I've already got people handling it."I replied with a simple "okay" emoji before clicking on another trending topic. #AdrianFordDumpsAdoptedLoweFamilyDaughterForHisTrueLove.The comments about Aspen in this thread were completely opposite to her real personality, showing an entirely different perspective."This young lady is so beautiful and sweet! She's exactly what a proper lady should be! A million times better than that nasty woman!""Mr. Ford has excellent taste. What a perfect match!" "That horrible woman deserved to be dumped! Poor Aspen!"…I felt nauseated reading through the comments. Aspen really knew how to play her part. She had stolen my fiancé but somehow managed to paint herself as the victim, winning everyone's sympathy in the process.Just as I was ab

I laughed and turned to Adrian. "Since he won't tell you, I will. This property you're standing on is mine, not the Ford family's. For someone who claims to be my adoptive sister, you don't even know this basic fact, which just proves my parents never really cared for you. "By the way, the personal assets my parents left me are worth many times more than Adrian's inheritance. Why else do you think he doesn't dare lay a hand on me?""Enough!" Adrian glared at Aspen with bloodshot eyes. "Haven't you caused enough trouble? Get out of here!"Aspen stared at him in disbelief. "I'm carrying your child, and you're taking her side? What's there to be proud of? If she hadn't returned to steal everything, it would all be mine!"Adrian pushed her away and showed her the original photo I had sent him. "My child? Who knows whose child it really is! Just get out of here and stay away!"After causing such a scene on my property, there was no way I would let them leave so easily. Just then, poli
