Chapter 12
I lied.
In fact, I always thought of Adrian as I was studying abroad during the years.
I especially missed the winter when he was nineteen years old and was about to go back to the Sinclair family.
It was just a time when we were in deep love.
The weather in northern cities was extremely dry in winter. There would be static electricity even as we kissed, which was a little stinging.
I hadn’t thought about telling him about my identity.
There had been many romantic moments.
He would kiss my ear and call me in a hoarse voice, “Rachel.”
“Rachel, don’t leave me.”
I was deeply disappointed.
It dawned on me at that moment.
From the very beginning, I came to him with the impure purpose of replacing another person.
Adrian once told me, “When I was a child, my cousin tricked me into a closet and locked the door. I almost died in it.

“I hate people lying to me the most.”
If he knew the truth, would he hate me to the core?
It was on the eve of Adrian’s twentieth birthday.
Jason Sinclair, Adrian’s grandpa, fell seriously ill and unexpectedly learned the truth years ago.

Adrian was framed by someone from the beginning, and even the car accident was designed.
Jason asked his people to contact Rachel and wanted to take Adrian back.
Therefore, Rachel came to talk to me.
She was already a famous star. She raised her chin and looked at me arrogantly.
“The Sinclair family wants to take him back. Are you still dreaming about marrying a rich man like him?
“Stop dreaming. The Sinclair family and Adrian only recognize me, Rachel Parker.
“From the beginning, you have always been a substitute.”
She took a check out of her bag and threw it at me.
“You’ll get another five hundred thousand dollars, but you must stop your unrealistic dreams.

“Otherwise, I will expose everything in the past.”
I suddenly raised my head and stared at her. “Rachel, my mother is also your mother!”
“My mother is the daughter of the Parker family. Who is that
woman?”

She sneered. “She’s just a prostitute.”
The sun was setting that day.
The sunset glow tinted the sky red.

I lost my mind, grabbed Rachel’s collar, and punched her hard.
As she screamed, someone rushed in from outside the door, grabbed my arm, and pressed me to the ground.

The bright female stood in front of me and looked at me condescendingly.
“Am I wrong?
“Take the money, go abroad, and never let me see you again. Otherwise, I will have her scandals engraved on her tombstone.”
She left.
I stared at the check that fluttered on the ground.
I thought of the hard time two years ago.
Because my mother was ill, the family was in huge debt.

After she passed away, I couldn’t even afford a decent burial plot.
At that time, Rachel contacted me.
“You want money?”
Before I even finished my words, she sneered, “She has only raised me for a few days. Now she died. Why should I spend money on her?”
I thought Rachel was resentful and wanted to explain, “She wanted custody of you at the beginning, and it was you who left with Father.”
“Of course, I would go to the Parker family with Father. Do you think I’m as stupid as you?”
Rachel turned cold and interrupted me.
“Did you want to keep me there and live a poor life as you? You are even unable to afford a grave after your mother died.”
I looked at Rachel in front of me.
I had a lot of words to say, but I couldn’t say even a single of them.
Her face, which was roughly similar to mine and had delicate makeup, was full of impatience and disgust.
I looked at her dress, diamond necklace, and the luxurious leather bag.

She picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a slow sip.

Finally, she revealed her purpose. “But, you are my sister, after all.
“If you want money, I can give you.
“Five hundred thousand dollars, but you must pretend to be me
and take care of someone.”
