He looked at me in disbelief and became even more angry. He shouted, "Emily, you dare to resist..."

Before he finished speaking, I said in a calm voice, "Alex, please recognize your current identity. You are no longer my husband. Do you think I will still obey everything you said?"

"Over the years, no matter how bad your attitude towards me was, I always followed you. Do everything as you told. I once loved you deeply, but this love was too humble. You didn't care about my efforts at all. You relied on my love for you to trample on my dignity."

"Alex, love is not something that can be... Don't you understand that you can only rely on one person's efforts?”

"When I love you, whatever you say is what it is. When I don't love you, what do you say you are?"

Alex was so angry that his face turned blue. Seeing me leave, he said angrily, "Emily, stop right there."

"If you dare to leave, believe it or not, I will get a marriage certificate with Celine now. By then, even if you regret it and kneel on the ground to beg me, it will be useless!"

I left without looking back, waved my hand behind me and said in a light voice, "Then I wish you a happy marriage and a baby soon!"

The past would not look back and the future would not be compromised.

What I owed to Celine had been paid off. From now on, I had nothing to do with her.

After leaving the City Hall, I took a taxi to the mansion where the richest Manners Family lived.

The results of the paternity test had come out. I was the eldest daughter of the Manners Family who was lost that year. I grew up in an orphanage and had always longed for family affection.

I fantasized that my biological parents would suddenly appear in front of me one day, but I didn't expect that it would actually come true when I was 25 years old.

On the way to Manners’ house, I recalled my experiences over the years.

At the age of 18, I went to college while working part-time. At that time, I met Alex, a rich young man.

The bloody drama of a rich young man falling in love with a poor country girl happened to me. He took good care of me during college.

When I had no money to eat and no money to pay tuition, he always lent a hand.

Many people laughed at me for being a canary raised by Alex. I held my breath and wanted to prove to everyone that I would never let Alex down.

I learned a lot of financial management and other knowledge in college, just to be able to help Alex in the future.

The year I graduated from college, the Wilbur Family's industry encountered difficulties. It was me who worked hard to help the Wilbur Family turn the tide bit by bit, so that the Wilbur Family could create glory again after surviving the disaster.

Many bigwigs in the business world saw my ability and spent a lot of money to dig me over, but I refused them all.

Alex’s father and mother boasted outside that it was their son's credit, creating a genius image for Alex and completely ignored my credit.

At that time, I didn't care, as long as I could help Alex, it was enough for me.

I kept my merits and fame to myself and was willing to be the woman behind Alex, so that he could enjoy the glory that belonged to me.

However, over time, Alex gradually became arrogant and really regarded my hard work as his own ability.

Especially after he recruited Celine as his assistant in the past two years, his attitude towards me gradually changed. Celine was eloquent and made him very happy all day long and he soon regarded Celine as his confidant.

The reason why ancient emperors favored treacherous people was because treacherous people did things and spoke to please the emperor and they had superb skills in flattery.

If Celine, that bitch, was placed in ancient times, she would definitely be a demon concubine who brought disaster to the country and the people around the tyrant!

I shook my head and stopped thinking about Alex and Celine.

Let’s think about meeting my biological parents next!

The old housekeeper of the Manners Family had already told me briefly about the family in advance.

After my parents lost me, they adopted a child from an orphanage and named her Madeline Manners.

I didn’t know what kind of sparks would be produced by the collision between the real daughter and the fake daughter when I returned to the Manners Family this time.

I had also read some novels and short plays about real and fake daughters and I was ready to fight with this fake daughter in secret.

After arriving at the Manners Family, the old housekeeper greeted me at the door.

He looked a little strange and whispered to me, "Miss, the second daughter has a little conflict with the master and his wife. Please go in and persuade them!"

I nodded.

It seemed that the fake daughter didn’t want me to return to the Manners Family!

This was normal. After all, Madeline grew up in the Manners Family and was used to a life of luxury. She believed that she would inherit the Manners Family's property in the future and she would just be content to be a second-generation rich man who would eat and wait for death.

As a result, now that I, the real daughter, had returned, her beautiful vision had become a bubble and of course she would be very angry and panic.

I recalled the plots in those real and fake daughter novels and I already had several ways to deal with it in my mind.

However, when I entered the Manners Family mansion and saw my parents and Madeline, I was stunned.

My parents hugged me with tears in their eyes, telling me how much they missed me over the years and kept saying that they would make up for their debt to me.

The fake daughter Madeline hugged me excitedly and said in a trembling voice, "Emily, you are finally back!"

"That's great, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and finally I don't have to be forced by my parents to learn those annoying financial management and other things."

"I have heard of your great name in the business world. Many business elites have praised you for your unique vision and bold investment. In the future, you will have full control of our family's industry. I can finally let go and do what I like to do."

My father was so angry that he couldn't stop laughing and my mother was so angry that she took a feather duster and beat Madeline randomly.

Madeline dodged the feather duster in her mother's hand, pushed me out as a shield and said to her parents in a very tough manner, "I just like video games, I just like traveling, I don't like staying in the company to manage those industries!"

"I am proud and free by nature. I don't want to be the kind of bird locked in a cage by you. I can make money to support myself and you don't have to worry about the future."

"My sister is back. She is a genius in financial management and is just suitable for managing our family's industry. If you retire, she can take over our family's industry. Don't even think about forcing me to intervene in the management of our family's industry..."

I stared at this noisy family in a daze and my brain was about to crash.

Where was the fight between the real and fake daughters? Where were the conspiracies and intrigues?

The tricks I prepared were of no use at all!

However, I really like this kind of family atmosphere.

In the end, Madeline was beaten hard on the buttocks by her mother with a feather duster before she gave up!

I also roughly understood the situation at home.

My parents' health was not very good and they wanted to retire early. They originally planned to hand over the Manners Family's business to me and Madeline. However, Madeline had no interest in managing the family's business.

My parents were disappointed with her, but she had her own difficulties. She was a detached person and didn't want to force herself to do things she didn't like.

I didn't expect that this would be the result after returning to the Manners Family. It was also good, at least I didn’t have to worry about those disgusting things in the family.

After I told my parents about Alex and me, my parents were indignant.

"That Alex is really disgusting! The development of the Wilbur Family over the years is obvious to all. If it weren't for you, how could the Wilbur Family develop so fast."

"Daughter, it's wise for you to leave the Wilbur Family. They will regret it sooner or later."

And Madeline's focus of concern was on Celine.

She said to me with a strange look, "Emily, my fiancé has a cousin named Celine. Could she be the bitch who seduced my brother-in-law?"

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you have a photo of your fiancé's cousin?"

Madeline found a photo from her mobile phone album. After looking at it, my face became strange.

I nodded and said, "That's her!"

What kind of fate was this!

My parents squinted at Madeline with a dangerous look in their eyes.

Madeline hurriedly said, "Mom and Dad, don't look at me like that, it's none of my business!"

"You all know Charles, he is a good man. Celine was just his distant cousin, we don't have much friendship on weekdays, we just had a meal together some time ago."

I smiled and didn't care, saying, "It doesn't matter, Alex and I have divorced, even if Celine becomes the daughter-in-law of the Wilbur Family in the future, it has nothing to do with me!"

My mother slammed the table and said domineeringly, "No, my daughter can't be bullied like this. No way!"

"Madeline, your wedding with Charles will be held soon. You should make it clear to Charles and ask him to invite Celine to attend your wedding. I must vent my anger for my daughter in public!"

Father also snorted and said, "And the Wilbur Family, we must invite them to come!"

"Let them see with their own eyes what kind of noble status the so-called country girl they abandoned is. I will make the Wilbur Family kneel on the ground and ashamed in public!"

My parents' domineering attitude made me dazed and at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in my heart.

Was this the feeling of being protected? This was my family!

Madeline poked me secretly and whispered, "Our parents are domineering!"

I smiled and nodded.

Madeline smiled bitterly and said, "This is why I want to escape from this home. Emily, you don't know how many times I have been beaten by their mixed doubles since I was a child. Fortunately, you are back. Finally, someone can help me share the firepower!"

I patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "Madeline, you are too naive! My parents are old and in poor health. They don't have the strength to beat people. From now on, I, your sister, will be responsible for beating you."

"Don't worry, I will make up for the sisterly friendship you have missed for so many years!"

Madeline widened her eyes and looked at me in disbelief.

My divorce with Alex was reported by some media.

The Wilbur Family complained first, issued an announcement directly, threw dirty water on me and hired water troops to destroy my reputation.

Netizens who did not know the truth left comments one after another.

"Emily is too arrogant. She thinks that Alex’s company is supported by her. She wants to take all the power. She doesn't even consider her status."
