Chapter 1

Mrs. Watson, the senior housekeeper, was the first to react. She rushed forward and put herself between us.“Miss Lily, you can’t do this!“Sir Zimmerman gave strict orders—no one is to lay a hand on Miss Charlotte. If anything happens to her, this family is going to be in serious trouble!”I clutched Mrs. Watson’s sleeve and tried with all my strength to hold back my tears."Don’t cry." I told myself."I can’t cry." I said silently.Grandpa had always told me I was the reincarnation of a lucky star, that I brought good fortune to everyone around me.He said that after adopting me, he had gone from having nothing to becoming the richest man in the world.As long as I stayed happy, the Zimmerman family would continue to thrive.But if I get upset, something terrible would happen to the family.The newly returned real heiress, Lily Zimmerman, clearly didn’t believe a word of it.She let out a cold laugh and shoved her phone right in Mrs. Watson’s face.“Say that again. Who exactly are yo

“I...”“Shut up! I’m not interested in your excuses!”As she spoke, Lily grabbed my hair and tried to force me down to the floor.My knees slammed into the marble floor, and the agonizing pain was so sharp my vision blurred.Mrs. Watson started forward again, but one glare from Lily stopped her cold.“Anyone who dares to stand in my way can pack their bags and get out tomorrow.”The dozen or so housekeepers froze in place, too terrified to move.Lily swung the livestream camera back toward me, making sure it caught every bit of how humiliated I looked.She seized me by the collar, hauled me up off the floor, and forced me to face the camera.“Go on. Tell everyone watching exactly how you spent the last eighteen years taking my place.”I shook my head through tears.“Say it!”She clamped a hand around my jaw and shouted, “And what was that nonsense you were saying before? That you’re some lucky-star reincarnation? That you brought wealth to the Zimmerman family? Fine. Prove it. Let’s se

“She's adopted. Even if the real heiress is angry, isn’t this going way too far?”“No matter what your reasons are, hitting someone is flat-out wrong!”When Lily saw the comments starting to defend me, she only got angrier.She snatched up her phone and swung the camera around the room.“Everyone, take a good look. This is the girl you all feel sorry for.“She’s lived in this princess bedroom for eighteen years. Her skin is flawless, her hands are soft and delicate, and even her hair looks more polished than most people’s whole lives.“She’s had the best of everything for eighteen years. A team of housekeepers waiting on her, and now she sheds a few tears and suddenly you all feel bad for her?“Do you have any idea how I spent those eighteen years?”As she said it, she grabbed my hair again.She yanked me off the floor so hard I could barely stay standing.“I was kidnapped by traffickers. They treated me like nothing but slave labor. I never had enough to eat, never had decent clothes,

“"See? Mom and Dad are both on my side. Let's see how you talk your way out of this now!“Everyone watching—today I’m taking back what belongs to me and throwing this liar out of my house for good.“Y-you... don’t come any closer...”I shrank back in fear.She was terrifying.And she hit hard.In all eighteen years of my life, no one had ever treated me like this.“Dad... Mom...”I looked desperately at Dad and Mom, hoping they would say something—anything—for me.But Dad avoided my eyes.Mom turned her face away too.In that instant, my heart went cold.Lily had endured eighteen years of hardship after being lost. Because of that, they felt an eternal debt to her.So they couldn’t bring themselves to stop her.So they let her hit me, humiliate me, and use me as a punching bag for all her rage.But what did Lily’s suffering have to do with me?I had been an infant when I was adopted. I never had a choice.It was Grandpa who brought me home. He said he would give me a family.But in Lil

Lily clearly hadn’t noticed the commotion at the door. She was still smiling into the livestream camera.“You all see that? This is what happens when someone steals another person’s life. So much for this ‘lucky-star reincarnation’ nonsense. She hit the ground like a dead fish.”The comment section had completely exploded.“What the hell? This is out of line! That’s intentional assault right there!”“Call the police! Seriously, call the police!”“Fake heiress or not, you can’t shove someone down the stairs! She could’ve died!”“Has the real heiress completely lost it?”Lily glanced at the comments. Instead of backing down, she raised her voice even more.“Oh, so now you feel sorry for her? Now I’m the bad guy?“That’s because you never saw how she lived these past eighteen years—spending my money, living in my house. I’m back now, so taking back what’s mine is only fair.”“Only fair, is it?”The elderly voice came from the entryway.It wasn’t loud, but it landed like a hammer blow in e

“An outsider?” Victor looked at her coldly. “Do you have any idea who this family owes its fortune to?”“I do,” Lily shot back through clenched teeth. “I saw all the garbage people were posting online. Lucky-star reincarnation, crying and the stock drops—it’s all ridiculous superstition. Every one of you has been fooled by this fake.”“Superstition?” Victor let out a humorless laugh. “Then let me tell you something. The year I adopted Charlotte, I had barely enough money in my pocket to buy a piece of bread.”“In ten years, Zimmerman Group went from nothing to a trillion-dollar empire. Now tell me, what do you call that? Luck?”“That was your ability,” Lily said stubbornly, chin lifted.“My ability?” Victor sneered. “I spent half my life failing in business. I stayed poor for forty years. So why was it that the moment I adopted her, everything changed?“Why did everything go smoothly for eighteen years? Why does the stock drop whenever she cries? Why did the company lose billions in ma

Chapter 7

“Grandpa... it hurts so much...”Victor’s eyes reddened, and even his voice began to shake.“I’m here. I’m here, sweetheart. Don’t be scared.”He looked up and barked at the butler beside him,“Call the doctors! Get the entire Zimmerman family medical team here right now! Move!”The butler bolted out of the room so fast he nearly tripped over himself.Then Victor turned to Paul and Angela, his gaze so cold it was as if he were looking at strangers.“Before I came back, what exactly were the two of you doing?“How many times have I told you Charlotte is not to be upset, not to be hurt? Did my words mean absolutely nothing to you?”Paul’s face looked bloodless. His lips shook as he tried to speak.“Dad, I—I was...”“You were?” Victor cut him off sharply. “You stood there and watched that lunatic hit her? Watched her drag Charlotte downstairs? Watched all of it and did nothing?”With a thud, Paul dropped to his knees.“Dad, I was wrong. I know I was wrong...”Angela fell to her knees too,

Chapter 8

Victor let out a cold laugh.“You think I give a damn about saving face?”He looked at Lily and said, one word at a time,“I’m giving you two choices. First, you turn yourself in and confess to intentional assault. Whatever sentence the court gives you, you accept it.“Second”—his voice dropped even colder—“I have Zimmerman Group’s legal team personally see to it that you’re prosecuted. Criminal charges, civil damages, the works. I guarantee you will rot in prison forever.”The color drained completely from Lily’s face.She hadn’t expected the old man to be this ruthless.“I don’t believe you,” she said through clenched teeth. “I’m your real granddaughter. You wouldn’t do this to me.”“You think I’m bluffing?” Victor looked toward the butler. “Wilson, call legal and tell them to—”“Wait!”Angela lunged forward, sobbing as she threw her arms around Victor's legs.“Dad, please! Please spare her this once! Lily just came home. She’s young, she doesn’t understand what she’s doing. She’s ou

She turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.Paul and Angela instinctively moved to go after her, but one look from Victor pinned them where they stood.“If either of you dares follow her,” he said coldly, “you can get out of this house tomorrow too.”Paul and Angela exchanged a glance, but in the end, neither of them moved.They were in no position to protect anyone now—not even Lily.The doctors arrived.By the time they lifted me onto the stretcher, my consciousness was already fading, but I still clung tightly to Grandpa’s hand.“Grandpa... don’t go...”Grandpa held my hand as tears streamed down his face.“I’m not going anywhere. Grandpa’s right here with you.”As I was wheeled into the operating room, I vaguely heard Grandpa making calls outside.“Pass along my orders. Effective immediately, every subsidiary under Zimmerman Group is to cut off all cooperation with the Lindsay family.“Also, transfer every asset under my name into my little lucky star’s name at once.

Chapter 10

But the way they had stood by and done nothing that day really had chilled me to the bone.Grandpa seemed to see the hesitation in my eyes, and he let out a soft sigh.“My little lucky star, you don’t need to rush to forgive them. What they did that day was inexcusable. Focus on healing. Don’t worry about them.”Then he turned and waved dismissively at Dad and Mom.“Out. Don’t stand around here getting in the way.”They looked almost relieved as they hurried from the room.Silence settled over the suite.Grandpa sat beside my bed, still holding my hand, and suddenly his eyes turned red again.“My little lucky star... I almost lost you.”I looked at his graying hair and the deep lines at the corners of his eyes, and something inside me ached.“Grandpa, I’m okay. My leg was broken, that’s all. Once the bone heals, I’ll be fine.”“Okay?” Grandpa's voice caught. “Do you have any idea how close you came to dying? The doctor said the back of your head hit the marble floor, and if it had land
