Chapter 1

My stepmother, Rosie Shand, clutched her cheek and shrieked, "You dare hit me? Guard, get in here! Drag this wretch out at once!"But the bodyguards only stared warily at the object in my hand, none of them daring to move.The entire room erupted in an uproar, whispers spreading like wildfire."If I'm not mistaken, that's the Thompson family's authority token, isn't it?""But didn't Mrs. Thompson just say she's a fake? How could she possibly have something that important?"My three younger stepbrothers immediately stepped in front of Rosie, anger blazing in their eyes. "What exactly are you trying to do? Not only are you impersonating our sister, you even hit our mom!"I raised an eyebrow at them. It had only been five years—had they really forgotten what I was capable of?I was just about to give each of them a slap when the unfamiliar girl, Camellia Thompson, suddenly stepped forward.Like a hen shielding her chicks, she pulled my three stepbrothers behind her. Frowning, she

Chapter 2

My relationship with my father had never been good—not after he cheated while my mother was pregnant.But no matter what, he would never tarnish the Thompson family's reputation by recklessly claiming another daughter in public.Thinking back to the past few days—my stepmother constantly playing those "real heiress versus fake heiress" dramas out loud on her phone—it all started to make sense.They couldn't accept that Grandpa had entrusted the family authority token to me. So they brought in Camellia, trying to brand me as the fake heiress—using the pressure of the guests to strip me of my legitimacy as the family's head.I looked at them as if they were fools. "Do you really think the Thompson family's authority token is so easy to forge? If you all claim you don't know me, then how would I even know what it looks like?"My eldest younger stepbrother, Anthony Thompson, let out a cold laugh. "Who knows? Maybe that token of yours is just some random fake. Has anyone here actually

Chapter 3

A family portrait is something deeply private. Even if someone wanted to fabricate one, they would need photos of Grandpa and Gregory from their younger years."This clearly isn't doctored!""Then why won't Mr. Thompson acknowledge this daughter? Could it be that he despises his first wife so much that he's trying to bring his illegitimate daughter into the open instead?"Even I hadn't expected that, for the sake of the authority token, my father would deny me.Worse—he intended to force me to ruin before Grandpa returned, so he could smoothly seize control.What a calculated scheme.In the next instant, Gregory swung his arm and violently knocked my phone out of my hand.His face flushed red. "You still have the nerve to bring this up? I was sparing you by not exposing the truth! Since you insist on humiliating yourself, I'll grant your wish!"His expression shifted abruptly as he threw out a paternity test report."You're the bastard your mother had with some man outside! I

Chapter 4

As if they had just heard the greatest joke in the world, Gregory and Rosie laughed so hard they nearly doubled over.My three stepbrothers rolled their eyes at me in disdain. "Can't accept that you're a bastard, so now you're trying to drag Dad down with you?"My father rubbed his tightly furrowed brow. "I have no idea how you can spout such nonsense. If I weren't my father's biological son, would he have raised me all these years? Guards, take her away!"If they really dragged me off now, whether I lived or died would be anyone's guess.He had made his intentions clear—he wanted to seize my authority token.And once I was gone, he could take control of the Thompson family today, openly and without resistance.Even if Grandpa returned, it wouldn't matter.He really had quite the imagination."Who dares touch me?" I snapped coldly. "Do none of you know who currently holds power in the Thompson family?"The bodyguards immediately hesitated, and the guests began whispering again

Chapter 5

For a moment, I thought I had misheard.My grandfather, Liam Thompson, had been busy selecting a site for a new company lately. He hadn't mentioned returning to attend my birthday party.The moment the guests saw him, they immediately pointed at me. "Liam, Gregory has produced a paternity test proving that Diana is not his biological daughter! And yet, she shamelessly holds the Thompson family's authority token!"In the chaos just now, the token had already fallen into Gregory's hands.After all, my father had been the public face of the family for years. He had sat in the president's chair for two decades. Naturally, the guests were more inclined to believe that he was Grandpa's true son—and that I was the illegitimate one.Although the bodyguards released me at once, the suffocating pressure hadn't faded. Tears still streaked my face.Elizabeth pulled me into her arms, her voice filled with concern. "Liam, this is something only you can settle."My father wore a look of smug t

Chapter 6

Grandpa let out a long sigh and revealed my father's true origins.He was the son of the Thompson family's housemaid and driver, switched at birth by his own parents."So the one the maid raised, Cedric, is my biological child."As for why I was my grandpa's true granddaughter—It was because my mother and Cedric had fallen in love freely during their university days.But my father, a spoiled heir, had taken a liking to her. He believed he could surpass the driver's son in every way. Yet my mother rejected him again and again, without hesitation.On the day of her wedding, Gregory had seemingly offered, out of goodwill, to lend her the wedding hotel as a gesture of support. But instead, he carried out a cruel substitution—and forced himself on her.By then, my mother was already pregnant with me.With no way out, she swallowed her pain and went through with the marriage, becoming Gregory's wife.Fearing that my real father would report him, Gregory sent him far away to a remot

Chapter 7

I curled my lips into a mocking smile, my tone laced with sarcasm. "Aren't you just bitter that Grandpa didn't pass the authority token to you?"In just five years, my stepmother and three stepbrothers had completely stopped taking me seriously.During the few days since I returned, even ordering a servant required me to watch their moods.My room had been turned into a storage space for my stepbrothers' clutter.I had endured it all in silence, planning to move into the old residence once I officially took over as head of the family today.Grandpa let out a cold snort. "Gregory, take your wife and your three sons and leave the Thompson family. There is no place for you here anymore."My father immediately dropped to his knees and crawled to Grandpa's feet. "Dad, this was all my idea. It has nothing to do with Rosie or the boys! They've always treated you like their real grandfather. Haven't they shown you filial respect all these years? There's no need to kick them out of the fa

Chapter 8

Grandpa opened the door in confusion—and was met with my pale face."Grandpa, something must have happened to my real father!"The very next second, I received a message from the private investigator."Miss Thompson, your father is no longer in his apartment."The moment my call had gone through with no response, I'd immediately sent a local investigator over."There are no signs of a struggle," he reported, "but the door was forced open."We hadn't even had the chance to deal with Gregory, and he had already made the first move against my real father.Grandpa and I had originally planned to handle the transition, then send Gregory to prison. But now, he had come straight at us without restraint.Did he really think that if my father were dead, I would accept him as my own?Grandpa's face flushed with fury. "He wanted to kill you, and now, he's going after my biological son! I've raised an ingrate!"By the time we searched the villa, Gregory and the others were nowhere to be
