    I finally said everything that had been bottled up inside me.“You are a system. You accept missions and assign missions, but you never fulfilled your responsibility to provide proper information.“Your task was to help me fulfill Harriet’s wish of returning home.“However, her parents were not dead. Her sister was not dead and her brother was not sick.“You never told me any of that.“You watched me get up at four‑thirty every morning to deliver milk.“You watched me survive on bread so I could save money for medicine.“You watched me throw away my life trying to fill a hole that never even existed.”I took a deep breath.“I struggled through three years in that awful apartment, and you just stood there watching.“You kept waiting for me to complete the mission.“What if I had died before I ever managed to finish it?“Then the mission would have failed, I would have lost my reward, and your performance record would have taken a hit too, right?”For once, the system had no

    Sheila’s college admission was revoked. She was cast out of the social circles she once ruled.Even the friends who used to surround her turned against her, eagerly spreading stories about how she had mocked and humiliated me.Sheila had grown accustomed to a life of luxury. Once the money disappeared, there were days when she could barely afford a full meal.For her, it felt like falling straight into hell.She called the friends who had once followed her everywhere. Not a single one was willing to help.The betrayal drove her nearly insane. No amount of anger changed anything.Poverty was not even the worst part. What truly broke Sheila was the loss of admiration.She had once been the center of attention wherever she went. The moment she stepped outside, people pointed at her and whispered.“That is the traffickers’ daughter.”Unable to endure the shame, Sheila hid from place to place like a rat scurrying through the shadows.When her biological parents were eventually rel

    Franklin’s brows knitted together.“Your job is to focus on school. That is what matters. Do not worry about anything else…”“If you go back to the construction site, then I am not going to college.” My tone was firm.As I spoke, I reached for my college acceptance letter as if I were about to tear it in half.Franklin panicked and grabbed my hands to stop me. I refused to back down.“If you go to the construction site, then I will go too.“If you carry cement, I will carry cement.“If you tie rebar, I will tie rebar.”Franklin looked horrified.“What would a girl like you be doing on a construction site?”He pointed at my hands.“These hands are meant to hold books, not construction tools.”Fresh tears filled my eyes. “Please, Franklin.“I am begging you.”In the end, he gave in.Instead of returning to construction work, he found a job as a warehouse sorter at a logistics center.At least he no longer had to climb dangerous scaffolding high above the ground.Only aft

    I forced myself to speak clearly, making every word count.“Franklin, come back right now. Immediately.”“Come back?” he said, confused. “I am at the construction site. I have overtime today…”“Please.” My voice shook. “Come back now. If you do not, I will go to the construction site and find you myself.”The moment he heard me crying again, he gave in without another argument.“Okay, okay. I am coming back right now.”His tone softened.“Stop crying, all right? Just wait for me at the orphanage.”After hanging up, all the strength left my body.I sank onto the bed.Franklin Lloyd and I were brother and sister. After our parents died when we were young, no one adopted us, so we grew up together in the orphanage, relying on each other for everything.Franklin was two years older than me. He worked himself to exhaustion, taking whatever jobs he could find, and nearly every dollar he earned went toward supporting me.He always said I was smart enough for school and that one da

    The arrest of my adoptive parents had happened because I gathered evidence and reported them to the police.The realization hit Derrick so hard that the room seemed to spin around him.He nearly lost his footing.So Sheila was the traffickers’ real daughter.Years earlier, Sheila’s parents had kidnapped me and sent their own biological daughter to an orphanage. They spent years teaching Sheila how to become me, memorizing my expressions, my habits, and even the way I spoke.They trained her to imitate me so perfectly that when the Lawson family came looking to adopt a child, she immediately caught their attention.Back then, Sheila was not called Sheila. Her real name had been Janet.That was why she panicked the moment I spoke that name.She had staged the entire kidnapping story herself and pinned the blame on me. She wanted the Lawson family to feel even more sorry for her and hate me even more.Over the years, Sheila never cut ties with her biological parents.She secretl

    When had that love faded?When had it been replaced by someone else?Derrick did not know.Just then, his phone rang.“Hello, is this Mr. Lawson? This is the customer service manager from Sunridge Hotel.“Yesterday afternoon, one of the guests attending a Lawson family event collapsed in one of our restrooms and was discovered by a member of our cleaning staff.”The manager paused politely.“We were wondering how the guest is doing now. Is she all right? Has she recovered?”Derrick opened his mouth, but his throat felt blocked.Yesterday afternoon…What had he been doing?He had been drinking and laughing with business associates. When he left the hotel, he had completely forgotten about his own sister.Later, when Sheila did not come home and my phone could not be reached, his first assumption had been that I had driven Sheila away.The moment he saw me, he had thrown an ashtray at my head.When Mom slapped me, he had not felt a trace of sympathy.He had even thought sh
