All Chapters of The Fake Heiress Plays to Win: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Rhea, this is for you."Alex Jenkins smiled as he pressed a gold pendant into my palm. The metal was still warm from his hand."Mr. Anderson said this was the only thing you had with you when you were first brought to the orphanage. I thought it might help you find your family."I stared down at the familiar pendant. Suddenly, several lines of text appeared in front of me."Here we go! The classic gold-pendant handoff! Here comes the fake heiress!""Alex is ruthless. He's actually going to pass Rhea off as Olivia just so she can stay away from the Sullivans until her pregnancy is over.""Poor Rhea. She's about to spend two whole years taking the fall for Olivia."My fingers tightened around the pendant until my knuckles went white.I looked up at the man whose plan had gotten me killed in my first life. His eyes were full of calculation and anticipation, but he hid it so well no one else would have noticed.I sniffled and willed my eyes to fill with tears. "Really? Thanks, Al

Vireon Technologies announced a major breakthrough in its 2nm chip technology, and military-backed investors immediately piled in. Its valuation soared tenfold overnight.Then After Midnight, the Silvergate Studios series no one had expected much from, blew up online. With its polished production and smart, twist-filled mystery, it caught fire overseas and became an international phenomenon.The biopharmaceutical company that had been on the verge of bankruptcy was acquired outright by Crawford Group for a staggering sum after developing a groundbreaking targeted cancer drug.Not long after that, Henry called me back into his study.He pushed several documents across the desk. "These are the returns from your investments. Rhea, tell me how you knew."I smiled. "Dad, would you believe me if I said I got lucky?"Henry fell silent.Men like him didn't believe in luck. They trusted judgment and information. And the less he understood about how I knew what I knew, the more valuable I

Olivia's accusation sent shock waves through the ballroom.Every eye turned to me, filled with shock, suspicion, contempt, and barely disguised excitement.Under all that scrutiny, I remained perfectly calm. I even gave the champagne in my glass a gentle swirl and watched the bubbles rise."Why isn't Rhea freaking out? Shouldn't she be scrambling to defend herself?""She's about to have her reputation completely ruined, and she's still smiling?""Just wait. Once Henry and Hannah realize what's going on, she won't be smiling anymore."The comments kept piling up in front of me, but I already knew they weren't going to get the scene they were waiting for.In my first life, Henry and Hannah had reacted to the same accusation with shock and doubt. The way they looked at me had changed instantly, their trust replaced by suspicion.Not this time.Henry looked furious. He didn't look at me, and he barely spared Olivia a glance.Instead, he turned toward the entrance and barked, "W

Then the scene itself seemed to come to life before my eyes.Olivia sat in a dark, damp basement, clutching her stomach as she cried. "Alex, I'm so hungry. We haven't eaten all day."Alex kicked over a stool beside him and shouted, his face twisted with rage."Is crying all you ever do? We wouldn't be in this mess if you weren't so useless! If you were worth anything, would your own parents have treated you like that at the party? You're worthless!"Every sweet thing he'd once said to her had turned vicious under the pressure of real life.I watched their ugly fight play out through the comments, and my smile slowly widened.But this still wasn't enough. Pushing them this far was only the beginning.Day after day, the comments showed me their endless fights and how far they'd fallen. I felt no satisfaction, only a cold sense of calm.I knew Alex was ambitious to his core. Give him even the slightest chance to recover, and he'd bide his time until he found another chance to stri

Joel studied me. There was no doubt in his eyes, only curiosity.After a brief silence, he tapped the table despite the pressure from everyone around him. "We'll go with Ms. Lennon's recommendation."He never asked how I knew. He simply trusted my instincts, then moved quickly and decisively to make my predictions pay off.Three months later, the government announced a major initiative supporting the AI industry. Nexora AI became an investor favorite overnight, and its valuation jumped 50-fold.That one investment put Avelis Capital on the map.After that, I kept pointing out overlooked opportunities that would later become enormously valuable.There was a mobile game that became a cultural phenomenon, a low-budget sci-fi movie that turned into a surprise box-office hit, and even Bitcoin, which I bought while most people still dismissed it as a scam.Before long, I was being called the Market Oracle for my uncanny ability to spot the next big thing. Joel, meanwhile, became known
