Lahat ng Kabanata ng Substitute Abandons Husband and Daughter: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

My stepdaughter, Alana Greenwood, brought me some abortion medicine on her Coming-of-Age Ceremony.Everyone around knew of her little "prank", but none came to stop her. Even my husband just stood and watched.I smiled bitterly as I took the medicine and drank it in one go.I immediately felt the pain in my lower abdomen.My head began to spin, but I could still hear the harsh tone in Alana's voice."Well, did you think you could replace my mother after giving birth to your child? Let me tell you this, Dad agreed to marry you back then because I was young and was in need of a free nanny! If you dare think about replacing my mother, you will be kicked out of the Greenwood family!"I covered my stomach and took a deep breath."There's no need for the trouble. You're an adult now and I've completed my task. I'll leave... tomorrow."Alana was a little taken aback by my words, but soon snorted. "Why are you being so pretentious? You did everything you could back then to marry my dad

At the time, the only reason they were willing to let me into the family was because I had the same face as her, and I could take care of Alana.So, I had always made sure to leave myself a way out.As long as I received the agreed-upon money, I would leave the Greenwood family and return to the orphanage.That place was my real home.But I didn’t understand—clearly I had fulfilled my duty and honored our agreement, yet Alex was unwilling to let me go."Mr. Greenwood, I have already done everything I promised your mother. Alana... has also grown up. I’ve stayed in the Greenwood family's residence long enough. Rumors are all over the place. If I continue to stay here without any name or status, it would be a disrespect to your late wife."The man stared at me for a moment, and suddenly a smile spread across his face."So that’s what you’re worried about. Then don’t be. Helen had always been broad-minded and wouldn’t care about things like that. You just want to marry me and that

I was stunned as I looked at the face in front of me—it was almost identical to Helen's.If I resembled Helen by 70%, then the woman before me looked as if Helen had been reborn.What was even more remarkable was that not only her face, but her figure, aura, and even expressions were all exactly the same.She stood beside Jane, calm and elegant.Before I could gather my thoughts, a heavy slap landed on my face.Jane pulled Alana into her arms and frowned as she looked at me."I gave you so much money, and this is how you take care of my granddaughter? If not for your resemblance to Helen back then, do you really think a beggar like you could have set foot in the Greenwood family?"A fiery pain spread across my cheek, and the metallic taste of blood filled my mouth.I touched my swollen cheek, suppressed the anger in my chest, and kept my expression composed."Mrs. Greenwood, I have fulfilled my promise and accompanied Alana through her childhood. I have no desire to stay in th

I bit my lip and tried to step on the gas, only to find that the car wouldn't start.I had no choice but to open the door and get out.The man in front of me was holding the newly acquired "Helen", his face full of satisfaction.He was wearing a bathrobe, the belt loosely tied around his waist. As the breeze blew past, faint red marks were revealed.The woman beside him nestled shyly in his arms, only occasionally peeking out with one eye.She spoke in a coquettish tone, "Mr. Greenwood, am I not enough for you? Just let her go, okay? Or else I’ll get jealous."I suppressed the nausea rising in my chest."Alex, I’ve already fulfilled our agreement. You have your replacement now—why won’t you let me go?"Alex laughed with arrogance."Irene, after staying in the Greenwood family for so long, do you still not understand my nature? Anything I’ve used, even if I grow tired of it, I would never let it leave."He looked at me with a smile in his eyes, like one would look at a disobed

“It’s all thanks to my father’s kind heart that he let that woman go. If it were me, I’d have made sure she suffered!“How dare a beggar pretend to be my mother? I’d slice her face to shreds!”Hearing her insults toward Jennifer, I raised my head and looked at her coldly.I truly couldn’t understand—both were girls I had poured my love into.Why, then, did she and Jennifer end up as complete opposites?“Shut up.” I spoke with a blank expression, “You’re not allowed to talk about my Jennifer like that.”“Your Jennifer?”Alana was stunned for a second, then erupted with overwhelming rage. “Why? Why does that bitch get to be so close to you?”She charged at me in fury, trying to grab my shoulders.But I slapped her hard across the face.“Get lost!”Alana’s face turned pale with shock as she clutched her stinging cheek in disbelief.Seeing the disgust in my eyes, her own filled with tears.“You hit me? You actually hit me because of that bitch?”I cast a cold glance at her
