Chapter 1

Yvette glanced anxiously at the clock.“But where can we even run to? Ms. Hovard said the Grant family will be here in one minute.”Yvette and I grew up in the same orphanage. We shared the same birthday and even looked alike, so everyone thought we were best friends. However, only we knew the truth—we were rivals.She once stuffed a toad into my slipper while I poured capsaicin into her drink. She slipped laxatives into my food, making me embarrass myself in front of the boy I liked. That very night, I snuck into her room and gave her a disastrous haircut while she slept.In my first life, the Grants came to the orphanage, saying their child had been kidnapped and abandoned here. I figured if anyone was going to benefit from it, it definitely could not be Yvette. Hence, I beat her to it, threw myself at Mrs. Grant, clung to her leg, and tearfully called her 'Mom'. That was how I got taken home.Not long after, Mr. Grant dragged me to the hospital, saying they needed a DNA test.

Yvette and I were taken to the Grant residence together. While we were on the way there, we both played up our fear.“What if I’m not really your biological child?”“Yeah, if I’m not either, won’t you be heartbroken?”Mr. Grant sat beside us with his eyes closed, pretending to rest, while Mrs. Grant patiently reassured us. “The private investigator we hired was very expensive. His information can’t be wrong. One of you must be our child. And even if one of you isn’t, it doesn’t matter. Since we’ve taken you in, it means we’re meant to be. The Grant family will raise you both.“So, stop calling us Mr. and Mrs. Grant. You may call us Mom and Dad.”She tried hard to put on the image of a kind, loving mother, but just looking at her sent a chill down my spine.When we arrived at the Grant residence, she had the maids settle us into separate rooms, then left with Mr. Grant.After confirming there were no cameras or bugs, Yvette and I huddled together, whispering.She jabbed a fing

I was lost in thought when a ridiculous idea suddenly popped into my head. Before I could think it through, Yvette yanked me back into the room.“So? Did you find out anything?" "She said there’s no rush to take us for the DNA test.”She rolled her eyes when she heard me. There was a mix of cluelessness and innocence on her face. Yvette had yanked me so hard that it hurt. Only after forcing my way free did I speak, feeling annoyed. “What, are you trying to see who can survive longer? I suggest you focus. We’re both in the same boat. At this rate, we’ll both end up dead!”Yvette scratched her head and smiled sheepishly at me. “No, I know you’re smarter than me, but I’m just anxious! You lived a few days longer than I did in our previous life. I died that same day…” Then, she turned her face away awkwardly. “And even though we argue and fight, I never intended to actually hurt you. At most… I just wanted to annoy you a little.”I shot her a glance, sighed, and gave a helpless,

“I’m the real heiress of the Grant family.”“No way!” Yvette screamed, protesting, but then she realized we were not at the orphanage. She clamped her hands over her mouth and shook her head in panic.“You died so horribly in your last life. Ms. Hovard had to collect your body. I got there too late and only saw your ashes. And now, you’re saying you’re the real heiress? Who are you trying to fool? No parent could be that cruel to actually kill their own child.”I let out a sigh, not bothering to answer her. “I am, but not entirely. It could also be you. In short, it’s complicated. Just do what I say, and neither of us will die…”Yvette struggled to process what I was telling her, then nodded slowly. She was still confused.The next day arrived quickly. Yvette nervously tugged at my sleeve as we followed Mr. and Mrs. Grant into the hospital.The moment we saw the person in charge, Yvette blurted out unexpectedly, “Mom, Dad, I know I might not be your daughter. Can I be the first t

Gasping for breath, Yvette burst in with the police. The moment she saw what was happening, she shouted, “Officer! Look! I told you, the president of Grant Corporation is trying to harm his own daughter! Did you see the syringe in his hand?”Mrs. Grant panicked and loosened her grip. I fell to the floor.Freed from my restraints, I dove behind the police and pointed at Mr. Grant.“Officer, please! My dad’s gone insane. He thinks I’m trying to steal the Grant family's fortune, so he wants to kill me!”The syringe clattered to the ground. Mr. Grant’s voice shook as he stammered at the police officer, “N-No, it’s not like that! It’s her, it’s Queenie! She bribed the medical staff and faked the DNA results. That’s why I…”The officers stepped forward and handcuffed both of them.“Anything you need to explain, you’ll do it at the station. We’ll also test the liquid in the syringe.”Mr. and Mrs. Grant yelled in outrage as they were led away to a police car, while Yvette and I climbed

“What?!” Yvette shrieked again, but I ignored her and handed the file over to the police. “Most people might not know this, but Mr. and Mrs. Grant had a son, and he died six years ago.”The lead officer had not even opened the file yet, but a flicker of doubt crossed his face. Mrs. Grant, however, reacted as though a nerve had been struck. She yelled at me, “That’s nonsense! My son isn’t dead! He’s not dead! Don’t you dare say that. My son is alive!”Mr. Grant shook his head frantically. “It’s all fabricated! Officer, she’s just an orphan. What could she possibly know? She lied to get adopted! You can’t believe her!”Unmoved, I continued amid the chaos.“They refused to accept their son’s death. They searched everywhere for cures, slowly losing their sanity. Somewhere along the way, they heard that if they gathered seven girls born at the dead of night on the darkest day and used their blood to cover the body, they could bring their son back to life.“Now, they’re only missing the

Chapter 7

By the time Yvette and I walked out of the police station, she still looked dazed.“Queenie, we both entered the Grant family together, so why do you know so much more than I do?”I gave a faint smile and explained, “Do you remember what I told you the day before the DNA test?”She froze for a few seconds, clearly trying to piece together the hidden meaning behind my words that day.“That day, I went into Mr. Grant’s study and saw a family photo in the corner.”Yvette shot me a confused look.“Just from a photo, you figured all this out?”I nodded, then shook my head. “Of course, I did some digging afterward. But the main thing was, Mr. Grant guarded his study closely. I couldn’t get in without his permission.”As Yvette stared at me wide-eyed, I went on calmly, “So, that night, after everyone fell asleep, I cut the power, picked the lock, and went in. That was when I saw all the evidence. I put everything back, though. I didn’t want to tip them off.”Realization dawned on her

Chapter 8

Public outrage spread like wildfire. By the next morning, Grant Corporation's shares had plummeted, and countless people had lined up outside the company headquarters with banners, waiting for the Grants to show their faces.Under mounting pressure, the police had no choice but to accelerate the investigation. They quickly transferred the couple to court. When the trial began, the streets around the courthouse were packed, completely blocked with people.The parents who had lost their children shouted at Mr. Grant, calling him a monster, while the insults aimed at Mrs. Grant were even harsher. There were also children who had been orphans from the start and were brutally killed by them. No one remembered their names.I sat in a corner with Yvette, watching the judge announce the verdict. The weight on my chest finally lifted.“Queenie, we did it?” Yvette asked, still dazed, gripping my hand. “Pinch me. I need to know this isn’t a dream.”I gave her a sharp pinch. When she squir
