Chapter 1

The gardener was trimming the hedge when I plunged headfirst into the bushes. I rolled onto the mat he had laid out for resting. The gardener let out a piercing scream. Thanks to the bushes and mat cushioning my fall, I ended up with only a dislocation and a fracture. It wasn't fatal. I lay in the hospital as my grandfather, Terry Fleet, came down hard on my parents, Carter and Tiffany. "It clearly states in the files from the adoption center that this child mimics everything!"Did you even read her file before bringing her home?" My brother, Bentley, sneered. "Is that even a real thing? She's probably just faking it." "Faking it?" My grandmother, Ruby, shot Bentley an angry look. "If you hadn't taken her out when she was three, she never would have been kidnapped! She wouldn't be dealing with these issues now!"Bentley pouted. Tiffany smiled apologetically. "Mom, Dad, the whole copycat condition doesn't make much sense. London, on the other hand, has been d

London pulled her hand over her mouth. She watched in surprise as I downed the entire bottle. "Kylie!" Terry and Ruby burst through the door. I clamped my hands around my own throat. The bottle of pesticide dropped to the floor. Out of nowhere, London grabbed the fruit knife from the bedside table and held it to her neck. "Kylie, you claim that I stole your place. I'm nothing more than a thief and a witch to you! "You know I can't handle being hurt. Why would you say that to me? "You had the weed killer ready. Why did you make me drink it, only to copy me? Are you trying to trick Mom and Dad into thinking that I made you drink the poison? "Fine, I'll just die and get it over with!" I clawed at my throat, my body convulsing violently in bed. Bile and vomit spilled from my lips. "That's enough!" Terry pushed London out of the way. "If she was copying you, how did she end up drinking it before you did?" "I-I don't know…" London cried into Bentley's arms

I was stunned. "Oops. That's not right. That's not Miss Fleet." A member of the event staff shouted, "That's her over by the door." He pointed at London, who was dressed in her evening gown at the entrance. The emcee looked dazed. "B-But this young lady looks much more like Mr. Fleet… "My bad! I apologize. I got the wrong person!" "What's wrong with you people?" Bentley slammed the table. "London's been standing right here the whole time. Didn't you see her?" Meanwhile, London was already on the verge of tears. Holding her hand over her mouth, she bolted to the lake. "Oh, no! Stop London! She suffers from depression. She can't handle the stress!" Panic broke out across the venue. It didn't take Bentley and Nathan long to catch up to London. Carter and Tiffany went up to persuade her desperately. "Let me go!" Tears streamed down London's face. "Kylie dolled up today, knowing I have depression. "I know what she's doing! It's exactly like what she told

Chapter 4

Carter and Tiffany, who were desperately holding London back, stopped dead in their tracks. "Oh, no. She's a copycat! She really copied London and jumped into the lake!" Tiffany stomped her foot. Panic-stricken, she rushed to me. Tears welled up in London's eyes. "Mom! Dad!" "Just stop for a minute!" Carter was beside himself. "If you keep this up, Kylie is only going to copy you! Get Kylie out of the water now!" I was hauled onto shore by several pairs of hands. Blood streamed from my mouth and nose. Someone started chest compressions right away while another tried to clear water from my lungs. Amid the confusion, London was completely forgotten. London stood there, biting her lip. A gasp tore through the air. "Oh, no! London jumped off the balcony!" "What?" In the bushes not too far away, London lay with her eyes shut. She was motionless. London was rushed to the ER right away. The doctor pointed out that London was lucky to land where she di

"Do you think we'd startle Kylie by showing up unannounced?" Ruby's voice drifted through the door. Terry chuckled. "No, she won't. It's a nice surprise." The door swung open. The smiles on Terry and Ruby's faces vanished. "Kylie!" They lunged toward me to undo the rope around my neck. I held a tight grip around the rope, blocking them from taking it off. My bloodshot eyes were fixed on the screen. Ruby quickly put two and two together. She rushed over to cut the power to the screen. "Who put this here? Where are Bentley and the others?" Terry scrambled to grab the scissors and snipped the rope above me. I fell hard on the ground. Foam spilled from my lips. Soon enough, I was wheeled into the emergency room. Once I came to, Terry and Ruby were furious. Carter and Tiffany hung their heads low. They didn't say a word. Bentley blurted, "I was only joking around. How was I supposed to know that she'd go through with it? "Even medical professionals

When the hood was yanked off my head, several sleazy-looking men checked me out lewdly in a sprawling space. "Kylie, didn't you say that you mimic everything?" London snapped her fingers. A vile, explicit video was played on the massive screen. I covered my eyes right away. London grabbed my head and forcibly turned it toward the screen, trying to make me look."Watch this. Isn't copying your thing? "You have no problem taking your life, so this must be easy for you." With all my strength, I desperately tried to escape. However, the bodyguards held my head firmly in place. I was forced to face the huge screen. My heart beat out of my chest. London held the camera high. "Kylie, do you think those old farts would let you disgrace the family name? "Will they still jump to your defense?" My breath hitched. "London, this is a crime.""It's fine. Mom, Dad, and Bentley will cover for me." The Fleets had chosen the perfect name for London. They'd raised her

Chapter 7

Bentley stared at the somewhat messy room.Then, his gaze fell on London, who hadn't changed out of her clothes. He was taken aback. "I thought you wanted to put something else on?" "Haha. Nah, I changed my mind." London stepped forward and nudged Bentley out. "I'll just blow out the candles and make a wish in this dress." "That's strange. I definitely heard a man's voice in here just now." "Bentley!" London put her hands on her hips. "Are you doubting me?" Bentley broke into a smile. "I'd never. I just don't want some sleazy guy to fool you." "Hmph! No guy is going to stand a chance with you looking out for me." London pouted, her arms crossed against her chest. "If anyone wants to steal my heart, they'd have to be better than you."Bentley was delighted by her flattery. He dropped the subject of the noise. Just before he led London out of there, a loud crash of breaking glass echoed from the back room. Bentley stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes

Chapter 8

Bentley froze when he saw me sitting on the floor with my clothes in disarray. Though Bentley didn't see me as his sister, he was still stunned to walk into a room full of men and a girl whose mind wasn't in the right place. Worse yet, Bentley had explicitly warned these very men to stay away from London before. "What's keeping London? It's time for her to make her birthday wish." Tiffany's voice drew close. Then came Carter's. "Right, get her here. Mom and Dad are here too. They couldn't find Kylie anywhere, so we'd need to head out and search for her—" The words died in Carter's throat. Carter and Tiffany's eyes snapped to the explicit footage playing on the screen. They saw me still tugging at the buttons of my clothes. It was at that moment they flew into a rage. Tiffany rushed to turn off the projector. Carter struck me across the face. "You shameless disgrace! Of all the things you could've learned. Why must you mimic filth? "You're not a copycat. I re

"Kylie!" Terry and Ruby bolted to the window in a panic. Two pairs of hands gripped my arms desperately. The bodyguards swarmed forward. They worked together, hauling me back over the windowsill. The projector kept playing the footage. Ruby whipped her head back. Smack! Ruby slapped Bentley hard across the face. "You saw through it all, but you played dumb anyway." Bentley pursed his lips. Color vanished from London's cheeks. Terry narrowed his eyes at the rest of the family. "Effective immediately, all inheritance rights to the Fleet Group will go to Kylie. "Jordan, draft the papers now." "What?" Carter and Tiffany snapped their heads up. "Mom, Dad, Kylie is just a child. She's too young to handle such a massive responsibility." Carter rushed up in a fluster. He wanted to talk Terry and Ruby into rescinding the instruction. However, Terry merely swatted his arm away. "Kylie is just a child, but Ruby and I still have plenty of life left in us!

Chapter 10

Tiffany lowered her gaze at the cut strawberries sprinkled on top. She hurriedly passed the cake to her assistant in the back and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, sweetheart. I just wanted to make it a little sweeter for you." Bentley squeezed a smile. "Kylie, we know we messed up. We're a family. Can you let us in, please?" Carter nodded. "That's right, Kylie. We've gotten rid of London. "We even forced her to change back to her original surname. She won't be coming back. "I miss you, Kylie." Carter teared up. "Just let me inside to take a good look at you, please?" "You should leave." Ruby came forward. She took the receiver from my hand. Carter panicked. "Mom, Kylie is a copycat!"If she takes over the family business, our business rivals can easily use her vulnerability against her!" Tiffany gave a firm nod. "That's right, Mom. What if a competitor pretends to jump off a building right in front of her? We'd lose a leader." Ruby let out a scoff
