All Chapters of My Parents' Adopted Daughter Stole My Gifts: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

8 Chapters

Chapter 1

I had a busy schedule. I would not have come to this city if my biological parents had not called me in tears, insisting the whole family was longing to reunite with me and begging me to meet them.Unexpectedly, my biological brother, who was on his way here, quickly hung up on me before even responding.The rude young woman, Isabella Ferrero, sneered when she saw what had just happened.“What a fool! Did you really think you could just call someone and pretend he’s my brother?”She regarded my outfit and cocked her brows in disdain.“What makes you think you can fool me? My housekeeper’s outfit costs more than whatever you’re wearing!”I looked down at the hoodie I was wearing.I always dressed plainly and preferred loose-fitting clothes. My adoptive parents and their son doted on me. No one dared to judge and tell me what to wear.It was the first time someone had commented on my fashion choice with such contempt.Out of respect for my biological parents, I did not lash out

“Are you deaf? I told you to get on your knees and say, ‘I’m a pretentious, pathetic shrew and a slum dweller!’ Say it! Then, I’ll convince my brother to spare you!”Isabella was screaming in a shrill voice and did not notice that Davide was right behind her.He had seen my photo. Naturally, he recognized me.But Isabella was clearly oblivious. When she followed my gaze and spotted Davide, she looked surprised.“Dav! How did you know I was here? Are you here to pick me up?”She ran toward Davide, pointed at me, and complained to him. “This shrew dares to fight with me over some gifts! I wanted to get them for you and our parents. Teach her a lesson now!”I raised an eyebrow. “What a coincidence! I also wanted to get them for my parents, since I’ll be meeting them for the first time.”Isabella laughed.“You pretentious shrew! You have a family, huh? What kind of people are they? Is your dad a drunkard or a drug addict? Is your mom a prostitute? Which district does she work in? D

“By teaching you a lesson, obviously!”With that, Isabella raised her hand and tried to slap me.I caught her wrist mid-air, my expression colder than ice, then kicked her in the stomach.As she fell onto the ground, Isabella’s eyes widened in disbelief.“You damn beggar, how dare you—”Before she could finish, I swung a sharp backhand across her cheek and asked coldly, “Are you satisfied now?”Having been beaten twice, Isabella was no longer cocky. She bawled.When Davide stepped forward, she hid behind him with tears in her eyes.“This trash hit me! You have to avenge me, Dav!”Davide helped Isabella to her feet and held her in his arms protectively. Then, he glared at me.“Is this how your adoptive parents taught you to behave, Celina? I was right about you! You were indeed raised by crude, low-life scums!”He beckoned to his men with a wave of his hands, and they instantly surrounded me.“As your older brother, I’ll have to teach you a lesson on behalf of those low-live

Chapter 4

The moment I saw Alessandro, the strong front I had been putting up collapsed. I felt humiliated and devastated. With tears in my eyes, I called out to him in a trembling voice.Alessandro immediately rushed toward me. He kicked the men who held me down and pulled me into his arms.At that moment, I knew I was finally safe, and he would have my back.Davide was still confused about the situation.“How dare you kick my men?! You must be her slum-dwelling adoptive brother—”The cries of bystanders cut him off.“Look, isn’t that a limited edition limousine?”“Anyone who owns such a car must be rich and powerful. Is he really Alessandro from the Gallante family?”“No way,” Isabella said. “If this trash was actually adopted by the Gallante family, she wouldn’t want to come home to the Ferrero family!”She was not convinced by the bystanders’ comments. Instead, she ran to Alessandro and said mockingly, “Hey, you trash, how much did you pay to rent this car? I’m telling you, it’s poi

Chapter 5

I grew up in the Gallante family and witnessed how the mafia families operated. I was never a kind or timid person.Isabella had humiliated me, so I would not show her mercy either.With a sneer, I slapped her across the face a few times and stomped on the gunshot wound on her thigh.Isabella’s face drained of color because of the extreme pain. Her skin was beaded with sweat, but she still cussed at me.“You low-life trash… don’t get carried away! My parents will come after you…”“Your parents? Even though I couldn’t care less about being part of the Ferrero family, it’s still shameless of you to take my place and act like you’re entitled to it!”With a chilly smirk, I picked up the nail file that she had used to cut my cheek and approached her face slowly.Only then did Isabella tremble in fear. “I swear, if you dare touch my face, I’ll definitely kill you—”I slashed her cheek.Isabella screamed in agony. A bloody gash lined her cheek.She immediately turned toward Davide.

Before Alessandro could do anything else, I stomped on Davide and forced him to lie face down on the ground.“Don’t get mad, Alex. He’s just an idiot. I know just the way to punish them.”With that, I ordered the Gallante family’s men to take Davide and Isabella away.After they were dragged into the car, I suddenly felt a sharp sting on my wounded cheek.Alessandro saw it, and his anger dissipated instantly. He stared at my wound. “Does it hurt a lot?”I nodded. Then, I walked up to him and whined like a kid, “Let’s head to the hospital first, okay?”Hearing my voice, Alessandro calmed himself down.He ordered his men to take me to his limousine and quickly made a few calls.Hours later, the best dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons gathered in the treatment room to make sure that my wound would not leave a scar on me.After the experts left and we were the only two people in the hospital ward, Alessandro finally let out a sigh of relief.He lifted his hand to touch my ban

Chapter 7

Enraged, Davide pointed at me.“She did this to me! Not only did she order her men to lock me in a dungeon, but she also refused to let me sleep! She even forced me to kneel and apologize to her. A wicked woman like her can’t possibly be my sister!”I stared at my biological parents, who remained silent the whole time.The moment they walked in, they stared at me intensely. Mrs. Ferrero even teared up at the sight of me.It was supposed to be an emotional encounter between us, but Davide, who was increasingly agitated and deranged, interrupted us.“I refuse to acknowledge her as my sister! If you take her back, I’ll leave the family! You’d better have her killed right now!”I smirked and looked at him. “You don’t want me as your sister? That’s fine. I don’t want you either.”Then, I turned toward my biological parents.“Is that okay, Mr. and Mrs. Ferrero?”They probably knew that I had only kept Davide alive because we were related by blood. Otherwise, I would have maimed him

Chapter 8

Her forehead hit the floor. A bloody wound appeared on her disfigured face.“I beg you, Miss Gallante. You and I were both adopted by our respective families, so I’m sure you understand the insecurity that comes with being an adopted child. I won’t insult or offend you from now on. I’ll leave the Ferrero family and never show up before you ever again. Please spare my humble life!”I laughed as I looked at Isabella and said slowly, “So… according to you, I should put myself in your shoes and forgive you both.”Sensing a change in my attitude, Mr. Ferrero burst into tears of joy. He tried to test the waters and asked tentatively, “Celina, no, Miss Gallante, do you mean you’ll forgive Davide?”I smiled. “Of course! Even though they hurt me, I got my revenge. As long as the Ferrero family stays away from my family and me, I’ll let this matter slide.”Isabella and Davide exchanged glances in surprise. Then, they both prostrated before me fanatically and thanked me.But I cut them off.
