The winter in the southern region proved to be an unforgiving adversary, with its relentless cold and pervasive dampness.
Back then, Angela, facing the harsh conditions, sought refuge in a cramped storage room, enduring sleepless nights as the biting cold seeped into her bones. Even a full night’s rest. failed to thaw her freezing body, leaving her hands and feet persistently cold the next day.
Despite Angela’s devoted care for others, she neglected her own well–being.
Now, as winter set in, the chill penetrated her more profoundly than the frigid nights spent in the unheated storage room.
Angela’s pallid face grew colder as she observed the room’s occupants, realizing that even close blood ties could reach a point of desperation..
Summoning strength despite the pain in her bones, Angela sat up, her voice hoarse from prolonged silence. “Sometimes, I wonder if I am truly your daughter or your sister,” she questioned, her gaze sweeping across the room.
“Half an hour has passed since you all came in. You’ve discussed the killer, but has anyone shown the slightest concern for my injuries? Have you considered if I’m in pain, hungry, or thirsty?”
Angela’s lowered gaze trembled, and despite the shock on their faces, she smiled to herself. “After you finish talking, just leave. I don’t want to see any of you. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to be born into the Kins Family!”
Samuel erupted in anger. “Angela, are you out of your mind? We all rushed over here. Is that not enough for you? Do we have to kneel down and beg you, treat you like a god, for you to be satisfied?”
James, a mixture of frustration and disbelief etched across his features, fixed his gaze upon Angela’s serene countenance.
George became even more furious. “I thought you would learn your lesson after going through such an incident. I never expected you to be so stubborn and even worse. Angela, you’re becoming more and more outrageous. Who do you think you are?”
Fanny looked at Angela. Is this a deliberate strategy, or…
She approached, attempting to reach out to Angela. “Angela, we’ve all been really worried about you lately. Please stop provoking Mom and Dad. Let’s all take a step back.”

Angela slightly frowned and distanced herself. “Fanny, have you already forgotten what I said last time?”
When it came to Fanny. Scarlet became sensitive and immediately asked. “Fanny, what did Angela say to you? Did she bully you?”
Fanny quickly shook her head. “No, she just said she didn’t want to see me. I understand.”
Scarlet never expected that Angela could still cause distress to Fanny at school. Fanny, being a gentle person, might have endured many grievances silently.
Upon reflecting on this, Scarlet’s slight affection for Angela disappeared.
She sighed with sadness and despair. “Angela, what do you want to achieve? Since you came, our family hasn’t had a single good day. It’s been chaotic and tumultuous. Fanny has reached her limit. Are you made of steel? What kind of family do you want to turn this into before you’re satisfied? It’s my fault. I couldn’t maintain harmony and fairness, which made you jealous. You can direct all your anger toward me. Please don’t make it difficult for Fanny!”
Scarlet’s eyes turned red as she hugged Fanny, looking at Angela with a gaze filled with resentment and disappointment.
From a young age, Fanny had been obedient and well–behaved, excelling in her studies and talents such as music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was Scarlet’s pride and joy, the daughter she had wholeheartedly nurtured.
However, one day, someone told Scarlet that her daughter wasn’t Fanny; she had been switched at birth.
Her biological daughter was now being raised in the countryside, uneducated and uncultured. A crude girl who didn’t even know what Brundelian was. Scarlet’s world came crashing down.
Initially, she felt sympathy for Angela, her biological daughter, who had endured so much hardship and adversity. But gradually, she couldn’t bear it any longer.
Angela lied and deceived, pretending to be innocent and naive while being cunning and manipulative..
She deliberately acted obediently, taking credit for Fanny’s accomplishments, claiming them as her own to gain favor from her brothers.
Scarlet couldn’t tolerate such immoral behavior from her daughter, who was as deceitful as a fox.
