Chapter 1

When I was in the middle of the street, loudly cursing my idiot boss, a woman in sky-high heels suddenly rushed out from the side.She threw her arms around me and burst into tears so hard she even blew a snot bubble.“My baby… you’ve suffered so much…”I stared at her in confusion. Before I could react, two men and another woman rushed over as well.Amid the noise, loud enough to rival a flock of squawking ducks, I picked out the key information:Apparently, I was their long-lost daughter and sister.I raised a hand in a “pause” gesture. Everyone instantly fell silent, staring at me expectantly.“You want to take me back with you?”“Yes, sweetheart. Come home with your mother.”The woman who claimed to be my mother tugged at my sleeve.I looked at her with a hint of scrutiny.These days, scams and human trafficking were everywhere. A girl on her own had to be more cautious.“The fortune-teller was right. The moment Celeste Tower was completed, we found you.“Once we transfer the build

The moment I walked into the living room, I was nearly blinded.Four oversized “light bulbs” seemed to glow in unison, flashing red and green.When they saw me, the only green “light bulb” walked over.“Did we wake you?”I squinted, and only then did I make out the figure behind the glare.It was my unlucky brother.He didn’t seem to realize just how green he looked.“Are you all heading out?”I hesitated as I looked at the large suitcases in the living room.The “light bulbs” exchanged glances. After a long pause, they finally answered:“Sharon Shaw is moving out.”“She can’t move!”The words slipped out before I could stop them.In the dream, after Sharon moved out of the Shaw family, her relationship with the male lead grew closer. They fell into a relationship, but his mother interfered, forcing Sharon to go abroad. That was what led to the whole “stand-in lover” storyline later.Cutting off the story at its root was the best way to avoid the Shaw family’s tragic ending.“I just

Halfway through the banquet, I stepped out for some air, only to hear voices ahead.“Justin, do you really like Sharon? She’s just an adopted daughter. She’s not good enough for you.”“So what if she’s adopted? I don’t care.”“The Shaw family’s real heiress is back. That just makes her position even more awkward.”“A girl who grew up God knows where—how could she compare to Sharon?”I stared at their backs, wanting to hear what else they would say, when a hand suddenly reached out from behind me.“Celeste?”I jumped and turned around to find Sharon standing there.Maybe it was my imagination, but the red glow around her seemed a little dimmer.“When did you get here?”“Just now. Mom noticed you hadn’t come back for a while and was worried you got lost, so she asked me to come check on you.”We walked back in silence. Just before we went inside, she spoke softly.“Justin may be impressive, but the Shaw family, and our brother, aren’t lacking either. Don’t take what he said to heart.”I

At lunchtime, I watched my brother bury himself in work and firmly dragged him to the cafeteria.The plot in my dream was already halfway through; I couldn’t afford to slack off now.Sure enough, just as he was introducing the dishes, I caught sight of someone out of the corner of my eye, stumbling toward us.I had meant to pull him out of the way but noticing that the food in her hands wasn’t steaming, another idea crossed my mind.Before she could fall, I reached out to steady her. She didn’t hit the ground, but the entire tray tipped over onto my clothes.“Why is it you again? Didn’t I tell you to be more careful?”My brother snapped at her while trying to wipe the stains off me.Sarah froze, clearly startled, looking at us helplessly.“Hey, you’re scaring her.”I shot my brother a look, then turned to Sarah.“I know you didn’t mean it. Just be more careful next time, alright?”“I’m sorry. Are you okay? I’ll pay for the damages.”Sarah spoke awkwardly.I was about to respond, but my

At the banquet, I wasn’t surprised to see Sarah had been invited to play the piano.The green glow around my brother was still there.Honestly, it would’ve been stranger if she’d just disappeared like that.What I hadn’t expected was that Sarah and Justin had already crossed paths.After all, in the dream, this was the point where he and my sister were supposed to be inseparable.I raised a brow as I watched Sarah pinned against the wall outside the ladies’ room, being forcefully kissed.Maybe because my sister had never left the Shaw family, and never grew closer to him, he couldn’t hold back anymore and found a stand-in to ease his longing.His idea of love really was cheap and excessive.I deliberately made my footsteps louder. The two of them sprang apart like they’d been shocked.Justin shot me a warning look.“Don’t tell your sister.”I hadn’t planned to respond, but seeing the tension in his expression, an idea struck me.“Of course not. She’s just a placeholder anyway. I’m look

At the rest of the banquet, Sarah was distracted, missing several notes.My sister, a trained pianist, finally couldn’t take it anymore. She replaced her at the piano and played a few pieces herself, earning a full round of applause.Sarah stood off to the side, watching, looking more and more like she’d lost her soul.“The way she plays… doesn’t it look a lot like me?”She suddenly asked from beside me.I didn’t turn around.“My sister is better than you. She was personally selected by a master as a promising candidate for the Chopin Competition.”With talent like hers, she should have had a brilliant future, yet in the dream, her hands were ruined, and she could never play again.Thinking of the way her eyes lit up whenever she talked about piano, I felt my disgust for Justin deepen.Watching Sarah leave in a daze, I decided it was time to push things further.“Hey, come take a walk with me. I’m getting bored.”I took my sister’s hand and led her toward the pool.If I remembered corr

After working at Shaw Group for a while, I looked at the latest financial report, profits up by a third, and couldn’t stop smiling.Compared to constantly watching the male and female leads, seeing the numbers climb and the business steadily expand gave me far more peace of mind.And as the company grew stronger, the glow around my family gradually faded as well.Everyone except my brother.I stared blankly at the suddenly bright green “light bulb,” forcing myself not to swear.I’d only stopped following him for one day.What kind of mess had he gotten into now?“Did you run into Sarah yesterday?”He froze, staring at me in shock.“How did you know?”Then he launched straight into complaints:“I was just driving along normally, and she suddenly rushed out from the side of the road again.“Luckily it was raining, so the driver was going slow. Otherwise, it would’ve been a serious accident.“And we didn’t even hit her, but she just collapsed right in front of the car. What kind of situat

“Sarah, you’re carrying my child. Where do you think you’re going?”The door slammed open as Justin stormed in.He looked at me.“Celeste Shaw. First your sister, now Sarah. I knew it. You’re a vicious woman.”I let out a cold laugh.If I could actually break them apart, I’d be earning myself sainthood and he still had the nerve to call me vicious?“Oh? Which part did I get wrong?“Aren’t you the one thinking of one woman, keeping another by your side, and flirting with a whole lineup on the outside?“How does someone get this filthy and still lack any self-awareness?”“You should watch your mouth.”His voice dropped, dark and threatening, exactly like in the dream, when he had someone run my brother over.Rage surged. I grabbed the vase from the table and smashed it over his head.Justin froze for a split second until blood ran into his eyes.“Celeste Shaw, just you wait!”Held back by security, he roared at me.My heart skipped, but I forced myself to hold his gaze.“Maybe you shoul

Chapter 9

I looked around the desolate villa complex before pressing the doorbell.The one who opened the door wasn’t Sarah but Justin.He stared at me with a cold smile.“Celeste Shaw, you and your brother really are ruthless. I just wonder—once you fall into my hands, will Leon Shaw still dare to cause me trouble?”With that, he signaled the men behind him to grab me.I took a step back. My bodyguards, several times their number, surged forward at once, surrounding me.“I’m not an idiot. If I knew something was off, why would I come alone?”Whether it was Sarah disappearing for days and suddenly contacting me, or those strange words she’d said on the phone, none of it added up.I knew Justin wasn’t righteous, and the fact that I still came meant I had prepared for this.“Where is Sarah?”Justin sneered, refusing to answer.I lifted a hand, signaling my guards to hold them off, and walked inside. It didn’t take long to find Sarah in one of the bedrooms.Her belly had grown, but she looked even

Chapter 10

While Justin was busy dealing with the mess at SummitCore, he was taken away by the police once again.But this time, he wasn’t getting out.SummitCore had only ever been a decoy we threw out. If it managed to cost him a fortune, all the better, but its real purpose was to draw his attention.While he was tied up with it, we tracked down his collaborators—a group of desperate criminals.From what Sarah recalled, Justin never avoided taking calls about work or his affairs in front of her. But no matter how closely he kept an eye on her, there was always a fixed time when he would avoid her and take a video call.Following that lead, we found a way to tap his phone and uncovered evidence of his contact with those criminals, then reported it to the police.Once arrested, a group like that had no reason to protect him; they were eager to reduce their sentences. Just like that, Justin’s repeated hiring of hitmen, resulting in deaths and serious injuries, was dragged into the open.I wasn’
