Chapter 2
What had happened yesterday kept
playing on a loop in Isabella’s mind. When she finally gathered her thoughts, she was already outside her parents‘ house.
The door was left ajar, and the waves of delighted laughter from inside made
Isabella’s heart throb.
“That bitch Isabella should be waking up in that old man’s bed now!” said a young woman smugly in an excited voice.
Isabella couldn’t be more familiar with that voice. The girl speaking was Samantha Lang, who studied at the National
University of Lucsia and had started her career in showbiz two years ago after gaining popularity in a TV show.
Before all that happened, Isabella was her
fan.
Isabella liked Samantha very much, and so did her parents. Samantha’s posters were
pasted on all the walls of their house.
Isabella had been overjoyed that her
parents liked the same celebrity as her, which was not the typical case in most families.
She had even thought that because of their shared love for Samantha, she had become much closer to her parents, who
had always been distant and stern with
her.
However, yesterday, she was told a jaw- dropping fact.
She and Samantha had been swapped after they were born.
The odd atmosphere at home in the past week now made sense to Isabella.
Everyone had known the truth, but as someone whose whole life would be
changed by it, she had been kept in the dark all this time.
Her biological parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lang, did not come to take her back.
A few bodyguards showed up yesterday and informed the Thompson family to
bring Isabella to the most famous five–star hotel in Dawton City.
Last night, Isabella had gone there and then escaped.
The abnormal heat rushing through her
body made her realize that she had been
set up.
As for who did it to her…
Isabella recalled Mrs. Thompson’s unusual
tenderness before they set off and the cup
of warm milk. She had taken it as Mrs. Thompson’s way of expressing reluctance
to let her go.
Isabella felt so wistful at that moment and
made up her mind that Mr. and Mrs.
Thompson would always be her parents no matter what happened in the future.
She did not care that they had taken the wrong baby back then and that she was not related to them. She would still love them as her parents.
However, the cruel reality struck her too
hard and too soon.
A voice floated out from the house again. and interrupted her train of thought.
It was Mrs. Thompson’s voice this time.
“Haha, Isabella is a cheap girl. She is not in Sammy’s league at all!
“Sammy, you go to the National University of Lucsia and are a big star. Even if she’s the true daughter of the Lang family, she doesn’t deserve to be your servant.
“Mom and Dad have raised her to be a loser, which is why she just got admitted into a third–class university. I don’t think that the Lang family would recognize a girl like her as their daughter.
“No one from the Lang family has shown up yet. Their attitude to her can’t be more
obvious.
“Mom and Dad are foresighted and have been belittling her since she was young in case this would happen one day.
“Twenty years have passed, and we thought that the Lang family would never discover this secret, but unexpectedly, they found it out.
“However, we got nothing to worry about. After we release the photos of Isabella
sleeping with that old man, she will never stand a chance to return to the Lang family and snatch what belongs to you, Sammy.”
Mrs. Thompson’s voice was shrill and cocky without the indifference that Isabella had grown used to.
