“Even if it is a trap, you think I’m scared?” Josie didn’t hold back. She grabbed June’s chin, forcing the girl to look her dead in the eye.
Josie stood at 5’9“, while June was barely 5’6“.
Josie towered over her, pure dominance in every inch.
June had no choice but to tilt her head back. It was a humiliating position, forced to look up at her sister.
“See? You still can’t hide how much you hate me,” Josie said. “Spit it out. Why are you really here?”
June dropped the act. She shoved Josie’s hand away, her expression turning ice–cold. “Dad really does want to see you. And he really does have the things Mom left behind. He wants to give them back.”
“What s with all the questions? Scared? Chickening out already?” June sneered.
“Look, Josie, I know we hate each other’s guts. That’s never changing. But like it or not, Arthur is still our biological father.”
“I know you look down on me because of who my mother is. But we still share the same blood!”
“Don’t even go there. It makes my skin crawl,” Josie spat. “I’d give anything to scrub that man’s blood out of my veins.”
“Fine, Whatever. You’re always right,” June snapped. “The message is delivered. Show up or don’t. I don’t care.”
With that, June turned and stormed off.
Josie watched her go, a small smirk tugging at her lips. This was actually getting interesting.
She’d planned on ignoring that deadbeat scumbag, but now? Maybe a little reunion wouldn’t hurt.
Josie took her sweet time, casually strolling behind June toward Arthur’s place.
The moment Josie stepped inside, her stepmother, Sylvia, flinched. Her face went bone–white.
Arthur wasn’t doing any better.
The two of them looked like they’d seen a ghost. They were absolutely terrified.
Guess those ten days of ‘quality time‘ Josie had given them had really left a mark on their souls.
Seeing her parents acting like such pathetic, kicked puppies made June’s blood boil with humiliation.
In any normal house, parents didn’t live in fear of their own kid.
But the Quinns? They were the freak exception.
The old Josie used to be a total pushover. You could play her like a fiddle every single time.
Then, out of nowhere, something flipped. She turned into a completely different person right under their noses.
Her whole vibe was just… wrong.
If they hadn’t been watching her every move, they would’ve sworn she’d been replaced by a body double.
It wasn’t until yesterday that June, bored out of her mind, was scrolling through some web novels. She saw a trope: if someone’s personality pulls a total 180, they’ve either been reborn or transmigrated from another world.
June ran with that theory and pitched it to Arthur and Sylvia.
They decided to risk it. They had to know–was Josie still Josie, or had some freak soul–snatcher hijacked her body?
That was the whole point of this “death trap” dinner.
Well, calling it a death trap was a bit much.
They weren’t that big–time; they couldn’t pull off a real trap if they tried. It was more like a desperate attempt to test the waters.

Josie didn’t give a damn about being a “guest.” She strolled over and slammed herself down right at the head of the table. She scanned the spread and smirked. “Damn, eating like royalty, I see? Looks like June’s been doing some serious hoarding.”
