Additionally, every month when I visited her, I bought her large quantities of snacks, all the ones she specifically asked for.
Anyway, Derek only asked me to raise her. He never specified *how to raise her.
So, ensuring she grew up safely and happily in the orphanage, always getting whatever food she wanted, was more than I owed
him.
Derek, however, was tearing at his hair in despair. “No, no, no! How can she be a fat slob?! My daughter should be a famous model!”
The girl wiped her snot and tears on Derek’s shirt, grinning foolishly. “I can be a model, can
Derek let out another desperate yell.
Wow, I’m so amazing!”
I watched Derek frantically push away the approaching girl, a smile playing on my lips.
“Derek, when you faked your death and forced your child on me, did you never consider that this day would come?”
Derek’s body stiffened, and his face instantly went ashen. “You, what are you talking about…

My gaze was laced with mockery. “Are you truly ignorant, or are you just
ending?”
In my last life, I was only focused on raising his child and had no idea about his fake death.
After being reborn this time, I specifically took the time to investigate and found out the whole story.

He knew I was soft–hearted and loyal, and that I would definitely raise the child well for him.
Over the years, he played the dutiful son in front of the mogul, slowly gaining his trust, and finally became the heir.
That’s why he showed up so eagerly, wanting to reclaim his child.
But he always assumed his child was the famous model, unaware that she was

Now, upon discovering that reality didn’t match his imagination, and that his child wasn’t a model at all, but unappealing, he immediately wanted to get rid of her.
As I laid out all the facts I had uncovered, Derek’s face darkened with each sentence I spoke.

Derek still tried to argue. “I didn’t, you’re slandering me…”
But the people present were not fools; they all showed expressions of disgust.
“What kind of person is this? He’s just screwing over his own brother!”
“I could hear his scheming from a mile away! He never raised the child for a day, but he wants to swoop in and claim the spoils once she’s successful. Good thing Autumn isn’t his daughter.”
