A Taste of Their Own Medicine のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Three days later, the Ginger family held a banquet to formally welcome me back into the family.My mother sent over a dozen haute couture gowns. I chose the cheapest one.Millie looked at the price tags and smiled gently. "Joey, you don't need to save money for the family. But it's only expected that you don't know how to choose which gown to wear, since you've never worn nice clothes before."I did not respond as I took out a needle and thread and shortened the overly long hem by two inches.At the orphanage, no one bought me new clothes when they tore. I learned to sew as I grew up.Before the dinner started, Millie suddenly burst into tears in the dressing room. A long slit had been cut in her six-figure gown, and the scissors had been found in my handbag.This time, my father did not fly into a rage immediately. "Check the security footage first."However, the security camera at the dressing room entrance was broken.Cole Griffin, Millie's childhood friend, stepped forward

One month later, the Ginger family held a charity gala.Millie was unusually quiet. She stopped picking fights with me, and she no longer secretly cried. She even personally pinned the commemorative brooch for winning the design competition on my collar. "Joey, it was my fault."She smiled sincerely. "I won't fight you for anything anymore."Cole saw this and quietly reminded me, "The more normal she acts, the more I feel something is off."I could not agree more.However, nothing happened until the dinner was halfway through.My father announced that the foundation had raised $5 million in donations tonight, and the entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.Ten minutes later, the financial director rushed into the banquet hall with a ghastly pale face. "The money is gone!"The $5 million had been transferred from the foundation's account, and I was the recipient.The banquet hall fell silent instantly.This time, my father did not scold me. Instead, he immediately sealed

Secretly filmed footage from the charity gala went viral that same night.The video showed only the moment my account was revealed to have an extra $5 million. The police report receipt at the end was completely cut off.A social media influencer named Aaron Wynn recorded a reaction video, slamming his hand on the table and criticizing me. "I guess growing up in an orphanage makes you greedy! The Ginger family can silence people, but they can't control their own daughter."After he finished watching, Greyson asked the public relations department to suppress the news.I stopped him. "Don't take anything down. The more things you take down, the more it seems like we're guilty."I released the bank statements, the time of the report, and the appraisal of the silver dress all at once.Aaron still refused to stop. "It's easy for the rich to fabricate evidence. Such people should be kicked out of the education system!"As soon as he finished speaking, his account received ten violatio

The next morning, Millie was gone.A letter was left in her room.[Joey said I had to disappear so she could become the Ginger family's only daughter.]A voice recorder pen rolled out of the wooden box. It contained my voice. "You should have left long ago. It's either you or me in this family."Greyson's first reaction was not to question me. He pressed the pause button. "This sentence lacks context."My mother nodded with red eyes. "Find her first. Don't jump to conclusions."I looked at them, suddenly unsure how to react.When Millie shed a tear, they could easily sentence me to ten years of punishment.Now that she was truly gone, they still remembered to investigate.Cole quickly restored the complete recording.The original words were Millie asking me, "Will you only stay in this family if I leave?"I replied. "I don't think anything about you leaving. It's not up to me to decide if it's either you or me in this family."She only cut out the first part of the sentence

Everything Millie and Cynthia had done was gradually brought to light.Cynthia switched Millie and me at birth, and the pair had falsified evidence, embezzled charity funds, and made malicious false accusations.They had to take responsibility for their choices.The Ginger family held three family meetings in total to discuss how to compensate me.The first time, my father wanted to give me shares.The second time, my mother wanted to convert the largest room next to the master bedroom to be mine.The third time, Greyson brought an apology more than ten pages long.I stopped him when he reached the second page."Just get to the point."His ears turned red. "The point is I'm sorry.""Anything else?""We need to verify facts first before speaking."That just about earned him a passing grade.I did not move back into the Ginger family home.After starting university, I moved into the dormitory and worked part-time at the design studio on weekends.I did not turn down my rig
