Part 3Sister Dearest, Take the Fall (The Butterfly Effect of a Birthmark)

The truth was confirmed. Everyone now knew Mia and I were twins.

The billionaire family came to pick me up.

"My sweet daughter, it’s all our fault we didn't recognize you last time."

I was flanked by my billionaire parents. The woman practically soaked my shirt with her tears.

I tentatively called her "Mom." Then, I asked softly, "Mia was only home for two months. What exactly did she die from?

"She used to be... so healthy."

My new mom glanced at me, then lowered her head to wipe her tears.

"It was a sudden illness. We didn't expect it either."

Oh.

A sudden illness.

Did you mean a sudden surgery to harvest her kidney for your fake daughter?

If my guess was right, there must have been a complication during the surgery, leading to Mia's death.

Yes.

The fake daughter, Audrey, had been diagnosed with kidney failure. A blood test revealed she wasn't biologically related to the family.

But the couple couldn't bear to lose the daughter they had raised. Finding a matching kidney on the donor list was nearly impossible.

So, they frantically launched a search for their biological child—solely to save Audrey.

"We feel so guilty about what happened to your sister. From now on, just stay home. We will make it up to you."

I was pulled into her embrace, and she patted my back gently.

"Mhm. Mia passed away from an illness. It has nothing to do with you."

The moment I said that, my mom's body stiffened for a microsecond.

I smiled coldly to myself.

In my past life, Mia and I were brought back together.

The couple originally wanted Mia's kidney. But Mia refused, and instead schemed to push me onto the operating table.

Things were working out perfectly now.

Mia was dead, which meant one-third of my revenge from my past life was already complete.

"Dad, Mom, where's my other sister?

"Did she go back to find her biological parents?"

They exchanged a look, seemingly unsure of how to answer.

I shrugged, looking slightly disappointed. "That's a shame. I guess I'm just used to the noise and company at the orphanage. It would have been nice if she were here, so I'd have a sister to spend time with."

"Chloe, do you really mean that?"

Her voice pitched up slightly. "We were worried you wouldn't accept her, since you're our real flesh and blood."

I smiled.

I knew them too well.

If I didn't accept Audrey, I would end up exactly like Mia.

In this life, rather than waiting passively, I decided to take the initiative.

By playing the role of the understanding, generous daughter, I could keep the fake heiress right under my nose.
