Chapter 2
"What use are you to? Just wait for me. I won't let you go when we get back!"
The lights in the operating room were turned on, and it seemed that Isabella had been discovered by Alexander.
I returned home in a happy mood.
But just as he entered the door, Isabella came back.
Alexander didn't make things difficult for her?
I just can't figure it out.
Isabella glanced at me coldly and put down what she was holding.
He rushed forward and slapped me twice, making me see stars.
"Sophia, who told you to sneak away tonight!"
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye out for me?"
After hearing this, my parents turned pale.
Two people came up to me one after another and questioned me.
The collar of the work clothes was deformed due to their strong pulling.
"Sophia, you didn't help Isabella? What do you do for a living? Can't you do something as simple as this?"
"Isabella specifically asked you to go, saying that young people are quick and skillful. Aren't you holding Isabella back?"
"What on earth can you accomplish?"
After saying that, they looked at Isabella anxiously again.
"Isabella, what do we do now? Is there still a chance to get in again? Has Mr. Kensington found you?"
Isabella fell silent, her vicious eyes almost piercing through me.
My tears welled up instantly and I acted extremely innocent.
"I'm sorry, I...I'm scared."
"I'm afraid that if the Kensington Family finds out, I won't be able to come back tonight."
"I didn't mean it, Isabella. Can you give me another chance? I promise I'll be obedient this time!"
Isabella snorted coldly and sat down on the sofa with a swagger, revealing the equipment in the bag.
"I don't need you anymore, you're just a waste of time."
"Luckily, I was smart and quick, and I replaced the fertilized egg before Mr. Kensington walked in. Otherwise, do you think you can still see me now? I would have died in the hospital a long time ago!"
My parents breathed a sigh of relief and kept praising Isabella for her reaction ability.
"So how did you explain it to Mr. Kensington in the end? He didn't suspect anything, did he?"
"No, I said I was a laboratory worker, which was true. Plus, he was busy talking to the doctor about the plan, so he didn't waste much time asking me."
"Luckily, this fertilized egg is something that cannot be seen in public. Mr. Kensington kept it very secret and even turned off the surveillance cameras in the corridor. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to get away."
I thought her plan had failed and I was lucky to have escaped.
I didn't expect her to move so quickly.
If I don't cut off ties with her as soon as possible, I'll be the next person she drags down!
Thinking of this, my hair stood on end and I quickly opened my mouth:
"Mr. Kensington is not that easy to fool. If he finds out that our cells have been swapped, we will die without knowing how!"
"Isabella, I've already told you, this is illegal. Even if Mr. Kensington plans to keep it a secret now, if the truth is revealed, he will have plenty of ways to secretly shut us up. Even if you want to marry into the Kensington Family, you can't drag us into this!"
I had just spoken these words out of kindness for the whole family.
My father next to me slapped me in the face.
"Shut up! Stop saying these bad words. Isabella is an excellent student at Ivy University. Can't she figure this out?"
"Why are you trying to be clever here? You are so smart, why do you still have to work for the company after five years of graduation?"
The mother was also angry and said:
"You are both Isabella and Sophia. I trained you both equally. You, Isabella, are so capable that you could come up with such a plan. What about you? You are useless and can only say sarcastic words. Tonight, you almost exposed yourself, Isabella. If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled you to death!"
Chapter 3
"From childhood to adulthood, I have been following you around to clean up the mess. I either bullied my classmates or snatched their homework. In the end, I even cheated in the exam. You have brought shame to my Rossi Family!"
"I'm telling you one last time, either you go on a blind date and get married during the New Year, or you get out of this house!"
It was just a test of acting, but I didn't expect to trick my mother into telling the truth.
My heart instantly sank and I looked at her in disbelief.
What she said was true, but those dirty things were all done by Isabella and then framed on me.
She was afraid that her parents would blame her and that there would be a stain on her glorious academic record.
So, I, who was one year younger than her but in the same class as her, had to take the blame for her countless times.
Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks. I looked at my mother and spoke slowly:
"Mom, in your eyes, am I such a useless person?"
"If you don't like me so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place?"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been reincarnated into your belly, and everyone would be better off!"
Snap——
A heavier slap instantly knocked me unconscious.
My mother looked at me breathlessly.
"Is this how you talk to your mother? I raised you for twenty-five years with good intentions, and in the end I raised an enemy, right?"
"What's wrong with me scolding you? I'm your mother and you're my daughter, why shouldn't I go out and scold others? If you were someone else's child, you would have been married off in exchange for a dowry!"
"If I didn't feel sorry for you, do you think I could have tolerated you until today? Sophia, I tell you the truth, if I wasn't your mother, I wouldn't be able to tolerate you for a single day! Apart from me, there is no one else in the world who can accept your temper!"
Her words were so powerful that every one of them felt like a sharp knife stabbing my heart.
I was in so much pain that I was bleeding. I wanted to blurt out that question several times.
In my previous life, I was killed by Isabella, and she was the first one to find my body.
But what he wanted was not to seek justice for me.
But to help Isabella cover up the crime.
She injected alcohol into my stomach and faked an accident where I was drunk and my body was picked up by a homeless person.
In court, she gave false testimony on Isabella's behalf to create her alibi.
After I was reborn, I wanted to ask her the reason countless times.
But now, those questions suddenly have answers.
Hot tears stung my cheeks.
I nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave, as you wish."
After saying that, I turned around and wanted to go back to pack my luggage.
The next second, my father appeared in front of me with his hands spread out.
"Where's the money?"
"What money?"
"I've been supporting you for 25 years! Why the hell are you pretending to be so stupid?"
My father spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at my feet, and the thick smoke made it impossible for me to open my eyes.
"Don't think you'll be alright if you leave. As long as I don't get my money back, don't even think about leaving this house!"
I didn't expect that when I wanted to break up with them, the first thing they did was not reflect on themselves or show concern for me.
Instead, he asked me for child support.
The beating heart suddenly froze.
"How much do you want?"
The voice was so cold that even I felt unfamiliar with it.
My father held up five fingers.
"Five hundred thousand? I don't have it now, but I can write you an IOU. As long as I earn it, I will pay you back."
When I tried to walk around him and leave, my father sneered.
"Five hundred thousand? You're just giving alms to beggars!"
“5 million dollars!”
I was so angry that I refuted it on the spot.
"Where would I get 5 million dollars? Do you want me to steal or rob? Like Isabella? I have principles and I understand the law. I can't be so shameless!"
Chapter 4
The next second, my father took off his shoes and hit me hard in the face with the soles of his shoes.
"You are so rebellious. How dare you talk to your father like that? Do you still have any rules?"
"If you don't have 5 million dollars today, don't even think about leaving!"
"I've already found a good in-law for you. The bride price is 5 million dollars. If you can't come up with the money, you can just sell your body!"
Isabella was leisurely eating watermelon and pretending to be surprised.
"5 million dollars? Is that the guy who killed ten wives?"
"Dad, did you really get the deal? You're amazing, you're my idol!"
My father didn't respond to her, but just hit me harder and harder.
I fell heavily to the ground and blood came out of my forehead.
The ashes from the soles of my shoes fell on my head again and again.
I cried and begged my mother for help.
But she looked at me coldly and turned into the kitchen.
When he came out, he had a plate of peeled lychees in his hands.
"Isabella, you've worked hard today. Eat more. These are all your favorites. Mom peeled them by hand. They are very clean. How about you try some?"
My heart sank completely.
Tears came out with laughter.
"Okay, isn't it just 5 million dollars? I'll write you an IOU and pay you back."
"But the premise is that I want to sever ties with you!"
Hearing this, Isabella, who was still lying down, immediately laughed out loud.
"Five million dollars? Do you know how much that is? With your monthly salary of two thousand dollars? It's a joke!"
"Isabella Sophia, why don't you kneel down and beg me now? When I marry Mr. Kensington, I can give you 20,000 to use as a makeshift, so that you won't be so poor that you can't even afford to eat after you leave home!"
I stood up tremblingly, my voice extremely cold.
"You don't need to worry about me. You should worry about yourself instead!"
"If Mr. Kensington finds out about this, you and all of you will be in danger!"
After saying that, I dragged my suitcase and prepared to leave.
Isabella suddenly grabbed me with a fierce look in her eyes.
"No, you said before that you would stay at home and refuse to leave no matter what. Why are you suddenly willing to leave now?"
"You don't want to go to the Kensington Family to complain!"
My parents were originally feeling lucky to get rid of me, a burden.
Upon hearing this, the two of them rushed to me and questioned me.
"Sophia, just take a step outside and see!"
"Don't even think about leaving until you, Isabella, marry Mr. Kensington!"
I was so angry that I took out my cell phone to call the police.
The next second, the phone was snatched away by my father and smashed into pieces.
"If you dare to call the police, I will teach you what filial piety is right now!"
Isabella took the opportunity to point at the suitcase and said:
"Dad, does she have so many things? Did she steal money from home? You have to keep an eye on her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the suitcase was kicked over by his father, and the clothes inside were scattered all over the floor.
While he was busy searching inside, Isabella went into the bedroom and started working on her fertilized egg experiment.
Half an hour later, Dad threw the clothes on the ground.
"I thought there was something valuable, but it's all garbage. You still want to take it away? I wouldn't even want it for free!"
"Get out of here, get out of here, get out of your room. If you dare to come out, I'll break your legs!"
Mom just stood there and watched without saying a word.
I returned to my room silently and counted down their lives.
The next morning, Isabella stayed up all night and finally successfully injected her own egg cells.
Mom jumped up with joy.
"I heard that Mr. Kensington paid a lot of money to have a child. If the child is born successfully, Isabella, your good days will come!"
"Our Rossi Family is going to be very successful!"
