“Dominic! Who gave you permission to call yourself the
future heir of Sterling Enterprises?!”
“Who allowed you to speak to my daughter like that?!”
“Before, Felicity was the Sterling heiress. From now on.

“Don’t forget why you were allowed into this family!”
In my previous life, Dominic did inherit Sterling
Enterprises, but that was after my parents died in an
accident. Now, watching Dominic lower his head but
clench his fists, a chilling suspicion began to form in
my mind. Was my parents’ death in the past life truly
an accident?
Dominic bore all of my parents‘ reprimands, allowing
Felicity to emerge unscathed. And for the next few
days, Felicity seemed to learn her lesson. She began to
imitate my “humble” demeanor. She voluntarily moved
out of the best bedroom in the villa, replacing her
lavish clothes with the most modest attire.
“Sister is back; of course, Felicity wouldn’t dare to
occupy sister’s belongings anymore.”
“I only ask that sister doesn’t send me away. As long
as Felicity can be with Mom and Dad, I’m willing to be
a housekeeper, a servant in this very home!”
She even deliberately piled all her cherished jewelry and
clothes before me in front of my parents, offering them

as “atonement.” “Brother angered sister that day
because he truly cared for Felicity after all these years
together. Ultimately, it’s all Felicity’s fault!”
“Felicity knows sister won’t care for these things now,
but this is all Felicity has to offer. As long as sister
isn’t angry anymore, and allows my brother and me to
stay by Mom and Dad’s side and fulfill our filial duties,
Felicity is willing to kowtow and apologize to sister.”
As she spoke, she actually knelt at my feet, banging
her head against the ground until her forehead was red
and swollen, making my parents‘ hearts ache.
“Elara, your sister is pure of heart,”
“A family can’t keep dwelling on past mistakes!”
“You can’t be so petty in how you act!”
Dominic also chimed in, helping Felicity up, then turning
to hand in his resignation. “Mom, Dad, you adopted me
to protect Felicity. Now that Elara can’t tolerate Felicity,
I have no reason to stay with the Sterling family.”
Dominic had been groomed for years, holding many of
Sterling Enterprises‘ resources and internal information.
If he were to leave now, the company would

undoubtedly suffer a significant blow. As the two of
them worked in perfect concert, my soft–hearted
parents, torn, took my hand and “discussed” with me.
They showed me Felicity’s childhood photos, images of
a doll–like Felicity growing up, and my parents‘ eyes
filled with tender affection.
“Felicity never suffered growing up, and she truly is
innocent, knowing nothing.”
“From now on, you and Felicity are sisters. We’ll tell
everyone you’re our long–lost daughter.”
“Our Sterling family can afford to raise a few more
children!”
“You and Felicity are both Mom and Dad’s children
now!”
“From now on, Dominic will manage the company, and
you and Felicity will split the company shares equally.
Mom and Dad will ensure you never suffer again in this
life.”
Looking at my parents‘ “well–arranged” plan, even
though I had expected it, a flicker of disappointment
still coursed through me. Was I too greedy? But why
should I share what was rightfully mine with someone
