When Nina walked into the Swanson residence, the living room was packed with people.
Except for her second aunt’s family, who were overseas, the other four branches were all here.
Sarah sat at the head of the table, with everyone else lined up on both sides. The tension was very thick, like they’d just finished a massive argument.
The moment Nina entered, Sarah’s angry face instantly softened. “Nina, come sit with me.”
The rest of the Swansons followed Sarah’s gaze. Except for a few who’d always been kind to Nina, the others looked ready to rip her apart.
Nina shot them a cool look and walked over to Sarah, her voice sweet but tinging with tiredness. “Grandma.”
After greeting Sarah, she glanced around the room and asked gently, “Why aren’t you all in bed yet?”
Sarah typically kept a strict schedule and was usually in bed by ten. But it was already eleven at night now.
Just as Sarah was about to respond, Martin slammed his hand on the table. “How dare you even ask? What did we do to deserve you trying to destroy us?”
Nina raised an eyebrow and took the seat next to Sarah, leaning back with a relaxed posture. The sweet act she’d been putting on for Sarah vanished, replaced by a razor-sharp edge.
“Nina, I know you’ve got a lot of resentment after suffering for more than ten years because we were switched at birth. But you can’t just vent your anger by messing up our deal with SN Corporation.
“Brian made it clear today that SN won’t work with our family anymore. Losing a project this big means we’re basically stuck for at least five years.
“You’ve gone way too far this time,” Lily said, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Enough,” Sarah said coldly, shooting Lily a look. “I was the one who told Nina to learn from you guys. What, you gonna blame me too now?”
“I didn’t blame you, Grandma,” Lily whispered. Her eyes
With tears, looking totally wronged.
Vivian couldn’t stand seeing Lily upset. She jumped up, anger blazing. “Sarah, this is totally unfair. Nina’s the one who messed everything up. Why did you take it out on Lily?
“She worked all night and finally got a chance to meet SN’s CEO. And then what?”
She shot Nina a glare. “Because of this idiot, Lily didn’t even get to submit her proposal before SN canceled the deal. All her hard work went down the drain. Why shouldn’t she call Nina out? She has never done anything to hurt our family.”
Sarah remained calm. “So Lily’s never done anything wrong, but Nina has? Vivian, who really caused this mess? Do I really need to spell it out?”
Vivian’s face stiffened, but she still shot back, “It was Nina. She shouldn’t even exist.”
“Enough!” Sarah slammed her hand on the table, her voice sharp with anger. “Nina’s your daughter, your flesh and blood. How can you talk about her like that?”
“If I’d known she was such a disaster, I never would’ve had her,” Vivian spat. She’d always disliked Nina, and now pure hatred burned in her eyes.

The 300-million-dollar project is toast. Fine. But even after Nina’s massive screw up, Sarah is still defending her blindly. Vivian thought, her chest burning with pure rage.
“You!” Sarah was so furious her chest ached, momentarily speechless.
