“What are you saying? You’re our real daughter! Of course, your father and I can’t bear to part with Maisie…“Besides, you know how it is—both Charles and Joey like Maisie. Letting her marry into that wouldn’t have been appropriate.” “Now that the Stewarts are already preparing for the wedding, You should pack your things. In half a month, someone from their household will take you to Northwatch.” Fred and Martha Johanson brushed her off with a few casual words before hanging up the phone. As the screen dimmed to black, Margot Johanson couldn’t help but glance at the framed photograph on her desk. In the photo, her parents, her older brother, Charles Johanson, and her childhood friend, Joey Griffin surrounded her as she stood in the center. She was dressed in a princess gown and crowned with a tiara. Their faces radiated affection for each other. At that time, a saying had circulated widely in their social circle: “Who wouldn’t want to be Margot Johanson?” Everyone envie

Over the weekend, Margot decided to hike up to Serene Church.She had heard that prayers made there almost always came true and decided to make one for Dominic, who was still in a coma.She had heard he was once a remarkable figure, a gifted individual, the pride of the Stewarts, but a car accident had left him in a vegetative state for five years. Now, as she was about to marry him, she thought, "In happiness and adversity we rise and fall together." She would do everything she could to help him wake up. Even if he never did, she would care for him for the rest of her life, with no one else by her side.She walked slowly, her devotion unwavering. She had not expected to run into some familiar faces.Charles and Joey had accompanied Maisie, their knees slightly scraped from the climb. All three looked equally stunned to see Margot there.Maisie’s eyes were red. She touched her cheeks and spoke with a choked voice, “Gigi! Charles and Joey heard the miracles of this church, so

Margot was finally sent to the hospital by a kind-hearted stranger. As it was her second injury, the doctor berated her, questioning how she had gotten hurt again and asking if she didn’t care about herself. She couldn’t bring herself to speak the truth—the wounds were a gift from the two most important men in her life.In the meantime, Maisie sent her a video.As soon as she opened it, Maisie’s voice, full of feigned sympathy, filled the room.“Gigi also got hurt. She’s being treated in the room next door. You guys should go see her. She must be so lonely all by herself.”Charles, who was cutting fruit for her, casually said, “You’re too kind, May. She’s done this to you, and now a little pain will teach her a lesson.”Joey handed her a cup of warm water. “And I can’t deal with her right now.”Such a convenient excuse.Margot smiled bitterly, tears welling in her eyes.After being discharged from the hospital, Margot locked herself in her room, refusing to leave. It wasn

The entire room fell silent at Margot’s words.All the color drained from Maisie’s face.Margot staggered to her feet. How could she have forgotten? After Maisie had intentionally framed her last time, fearing another attempt, she had secretly placed a micro camera in her earrings.Wiping the tears from her face, she quickly removed the earring with the camera and plugged it into the large screen.The video showed that when Maisie had turned her back, she had used the opportunity to hang the necklace on Margot’s gown.All of Maisie's mocking taunts were also exposed.The public's opinion in the hall flipped instantly, and everyone looked at Maisie with expressions of disgust and contempt.Margot, her hair a tangled mess, trembled as she picked up her phone and dialed 911, her brows set in determination."Hello? Police? I’d like to report someone framing me—"Maisie trembled violently and burst into loud sobs."I didn’t mean it! I just wanted to play a little joke on Gigi. W

After a seven-hour flight, Margot finally arrived in Northwatch. It was already late, but the estate perched on the hillside glowed brightly, its lights piercing through the night. As soon as she stepped out of the car, someone assisted her into a wheelchair and began pushing her toward the entrance. From a distance, she could already make out a group of people waiting by the door. A sudden wave of anxiety tightened her chest. Alfred, ever perceptive, leaned in and began pointing out the people at the door. "You can address everyone the way Mr. Dominic does, Miss Margot. The lady in the center is the matriarch, Madam Vivienne, to her left are Master Gerard, and Madam Odette, to her right are Mr. Dominic’s grandparents, Master Thomas and Madam Gertrude, and behind them are..." Margot hadn't anticipated meeting so many members of the Stewarts on her very first day. Steeling herself, she quickly regulated her breathing and adjusted her expression. By the time they reached th
