Semua Bab The Real And Fake Heiresses Want Out: Bab 1 - Bab 8

I snapped back to reality when Melanie Smith slammed the money on the table.Melanie shouted rudely, “I want all the fishtail dresses in this shop, especially the one she’s holding!”In my previous life, Francis Smith, my elder brother, mistook Melanie for me. It was simply because she was wearing the fishtail dress I was holding.Francis barged into my room that night. He made me take off my clothes and forced me to kneel on glass pieces as punishment. My legs were bleeding, but he was still angry. Thus, he harshly gave me forty-nine lashes.“Are you out of your mind, Scarlett Smith? How dare you drug me?! You let me down!” I realized that it was Melanie who had drugged Francis, but the system had tampered with those memories. Once I remembered that, I smiled and texted Francis.[Frank, I don’t like fishtail dresses anymore! I’ll only wear skirts from today onward. I’m going to be mad at you if you mistake someone for me.]Francis texted me an emoji to tell me that he had un

Melanie waited in the hospital anxiously and kept refreshing her phone. But still, she failed to see the news she wanted.“How annoying! Shouldn’t that horrid woman’s naked photo be trending now? What are those reporters doing? How slow can they be?!”She texted the reporters with irritation, but none of them texted her back. “How dare they take the money and fail to get it done?! I can’t believe that Scarlett was driven away that easily. I can’t accept it. I want to torture her more! I must make her fall from grace. That’s the only way I can secure my position in the family!”David, Talia, and Francis looked at her gloomily in the ward behind her.Talia asked with a shaky voice, “How’s Lottie doing?”Francis nodded. “Henry has already picked her up.”“My poor daughter…” Talia could not hold back her tears.The Smith family inexplicably had the same dream a week ago. They dreamed that Melanie had a mysterious system. They did something wrong consecutively under the power of

Francis could only let me go after coming up with the excuse of needing to safeguard the family’s reputation. They even asked Henry to pick me up. Once I was out of Melanie’s sight, he would immediately drive me to a safe place. But unexpectedly, Melanie was very wicked. She was not satisfied with only making me take off my clothes. She even asked some reporters to wait at the entrance to ruin my reputation. Luckily, Henry came in time and saved me in the end. I was sipping hot chocolate in Jordan Villa. The steam from the drink made my eyes warm.At the same time, I was listening to Henry talking about their plan. He also exposed his worry and regret.“Lottie, I’m sorry. I’m a bad guy! I didn’t trust you, and that bad system tampered with my memories. I thought you were a disloyal and bad woman. I thought you’d been lying to me! I… didn’t want to hurt you. But I was forced to hurt you just to pacify Melanie. “She stabbed you with the needles, and I felt them in my heart. The

“Lottie, I’m sorry for making you suffer so much…”“It’s okay, Frank. It’s fine as long as you guys aren’t still being fooled and we’re not separated. How should we tackle Melanie’s system?” I looked at him with worry.“I’m terrified that you guys might be careless and get fooled again. Then, will we end up like we did in our previous lives?” Francis patted my back to comfort me. “It’ll be fine. Dad has contacted the people specially in charge of this kind of thing. You don’t have to worry.”“Okay.” I was finally feeling relieved in Francis’s arms. Exhaustion overwhelmed me at that moment. It had felt like I was a lonely boat in a large ocean, constantly drifting. I could not let down my guard because of the waves. Finally, I found land and reached the shore. I had to get some rest.Hence, I dozed off into a sound sleep. When I woke up, I saw Talia. She had dozed off beside my bed. Her back was bandaged tightly, but I could still smell some rotten flesh. It was the result of
