Part 2The Author’s Revenge: A Plot Twist Nobody Saw Coming

Her novel had been published three days before mine. Although it wasn't popular and the writing was immature, the plot and characters were nearly identical to mine.

"I was abandoned and never received the education my sister did."

"But sister, this is my hard work, written stroke by stroke."

"You have fans, resources. You've occupied the nest for so long and gained so much glory."

"I'm nobody, but you can't just suck my blood like this."

The abuse was overwhelming. "She's so shameless! Stealing someone's parents wasn't enough; she has to steal their work too."

"Just because her sister has no connections or resources, she deserves to be bullied like this?"

"Evil capitalism! Thank god Serena is the real daughter! She kicked an iron plate this time!"

"I support Serena! Take down this plagiarist!" The internet was filled with crusades against me.

I sighed. Because of this book, I fell into a trap of self-proof.

But no matter how I tried to prove myself, she was always one step ahead.

I tried to build story after story, but traces of them could always be found in her posts from three days prior.

It was as if she could predict my every move.

"Our Serena is a true talent. She can write, sing, and paint."

"It's obvious who's real and who's fake."

Later, I discovered her online portfolio wasn't limited to literature.

It extended to music and art.

Rising music star Ryan Luo's new album "Stardust" and art prodigy Lily Jiang's painting "Sunflowers" both bore striking resemblances to songs Serena casually recorded and doodles she posted on Instagram—always published exactly three days before their official releases.

Those three days were enough to leave us defenseless.

Overnight, Serena became a genius girl. Everyone believed our works were derivatives of hers.

We were splashed with dirty water we could never wash off.

My parents and brother kicked me out, leaving me to fend for myself.
