Introduction

Min foster mor mishandlet meg, og stesøsteren min var en avskyelig drittsekk som ofte mobbet og rammet meg inn. Dette stedet var ikke lenger et hjem for meg; det hadde blitt et bur, et levende helvete!
I dette øyeblikket fant mine biologiske foreldre meg og reddet meg fra helvete. Jeg hadde opprinnelig trodd at de var veldig fattige, men virkeligheten etterlot meg fullstendig forbløffet!
Mine biologiske foreldre viste seg å være milliardærer, og de forgudet meg enormt. Jeg ble en prinsesse med en formue verdt milliarder. Ikke bare det, men det var også en kjekk og rik administrerende direktør som var gal etter meg.

Chapter 1

Serenitia By, Smith Mansion, andre etasje.

Clara Smith, iført en enkel hvit prinsessekjole, sjekket sitt pene ansikt i et lite speil hun alltid bar med seg.

Hun klemte lommetørkleet hardt, med sammenbitte tenner, og stirret på Catherine Smith, jenta hun hadde hatet siden alltid, og spyttet ut, "Jeg er den ekte Smith-datteren. Du er bare en falsk!"

Forrige måned gjennomførte Smith-familien en full medisinsk sjekk og fant ut at Catherine ikke var Oliver Smith og Celeste Browns barn!

Clara holdt opp farskapstesten med Celeste, øynene glitret av stolthet.

'Jeg vokste opp med Catherine, så hvorfor er jeg bare hushjelpens barn mens hun er Smith-familiens datter? Nå er ting tilbake der de hører hjemme, og alt er endelig mitt!' tenkte Clara.

Bak Clara sto Oliver og Celeste og stirret på Catherine.

Da hun så Catherines blikk, tørket Celeste bort innbilte tårer og sa, "Catherine, ingen forventet at Clara skulle være vår ekte datter. Vi hater å skilles fra deg, men vi må sende deg tilbake. Jeg orker ikke å se deg skilt fra dine virkelige foreldre. Det er for grusomt."

Oliver, derimot, hadde ingenting imot å oppdra to døtre.

Men Celeste sa at Clara hadde blitt mobbet av Catherine siden de var barn, så det ville ikke være rettferdig for Clara hvis de fortsatte å bo sammen.

Når det gjelder Catherine, så snart Oliver spredte nyheten, fikk han en telefon fra Tranquil County som lette etter deres barn.

Aksenten var så tykk at Oliver knapt kunne forstå et ord.

'Tranquil County, et fattig landlig område hvor de fleste driver jordbruk for å klare seg!' tenkte Oliver, og sa deretter, "Catherine, ikke bekymre deg. Selv om foreldrene dine er bønder, er det greit. Da jeg var på telefonen, hørte jeg høner klukke. I det minste når du er sulten, kan du fortsatt spise stekt kylling."

Clara kunne ikke la være å le høyt.

'For et høl! De oppdrar til og med høner!' tenkte Clara.

"Oliver, du skjønner det ikke. På steder som er så fattige, er høner mer verdifulle enn mennesker. De kan ikke bare spise dem når de vil."

Claras ansikt var fullt av selvtilfredshet.

Catherine hadde allerede gjennomskuet dem.

'Den såkalte familiemedisinske sjekken er bare fordi jeg har vokst opp, og ekteskapsavtalen med Johnson-familien må ordnes. Johnsons vil forlove seg tidlig, så de skynder seg å kaste meg ut av Smith-familien for å gjøre plass til den ekte datteren som ble oppdratt som hushjelpens barn.'

Catherine så på dem med forakt, og snakket uten noen tilknytning, "Jeg skulle dra uansett. Ingen grunn til deres skuespill. Før jeg går, gi meg tilbake datamaskinen min."

Hennes uttrykk var rolig, øynene glitret, og hver bevegelse utstrålte en edel eleganse Clara aldri kunne etterligne.

'Forbannet! For et skuespill!' tenkte Clara, og sa deretter, "Catherine, datamaskinen din er fem år gammel. Jeg ville ikke engang hatt den. Mistet du den ved et uhell?"

Hushjelpene, kokkene og sjåførene bak dem stemte i.

"Ja, bare Catherine ville tro at en fem år gammel datamaskin er verdt noe."

"Stopp det. Catherine skal snart tilbake til landsbygda, hvor folk sannsynligvis ikke engang vet hva en datamaskin er," sa Clara, ansiktet fullt av stolthet.

Catherine, som så rolig på Clara, tok frem telefonen sin og viste en klar overvåkningsvideo.

Det var Clara som snek seg inn på Catherines rom i går kveld og tok datamaskinen hennes. I videoen holdt Clara datamaskinen, ansiktet forvridd av raseri. "Hvorfor bryr Elodie seg bare om deg! Jeg er den ekte Smith-datteren!"

Clara var målløs. 'Er Catherine gal? Hun installerte overvåkning på sitt eget rom og fanget meg til og med på kamera mens jeg forbannet bestemoren min, Elodie Smith.'

Celeste trakk Clara bak seg som om Catherine var i ferd med å spise henne.

"Catherine, du er så hensynsløs. Dette er også ditt hjem. Hvordan kunne du sette opp overvåkning her? Vi har forretningshemmeligheter. Hva om de lekker?" Celestes ord fikk Olivers ansikt til å bli alvorlig.

"Catherine, gi meg telefonen din. Jeg må sjekke om du har overvåkning andre steder."

Catherine var målløs. 'Jeg bryr meg ikke om Smith-familiens saker.'

Rett foran Oliver formatert Catherine telefonen sin, slettet alle filer og gjenopprettet den til fabrikkinnstillinger.

Oliver følte seg litt ukomfortabel og lo nervøst, "Jeg tvilte ikke på deg."

Catherine svarte kaldt, "Pass på hva du sier. Du er ikke faren min lenger. Gi meg tilbake datamaskinen min, så er jeg ute herfra."

Oliver, som så flau ut, snudde seg til Clara og ba henne finne Catherines datamaskin.

Clara mumlet, "Du kan ikke engang gi slipp på denne gamle datamaskinen. Tranquil County har kanskje ikke engang internett."

'Denne ødelagte datamaskinen starter sannsynligvis ikke en gang nå, men Catherine, som snart skal leve et tøft liv, behandler den som gull,' tenkte Clara.

Catherine ga henne et svakt blikk.

Denne datamaskinen var en gave fra Elodie. Hun hadde modifisert den selv senere. Selv om den var verdifull, var den ikke uerstattelig.

'Jeg kunne bygge datamaskinen på nytt, og jeg kunne også klare meg uten disse såkalte familiemedlemmene! Men denne datamaskinen har en annen betydning for meg,' tenkte Catherine.

Hele Smith-familien, fra topp til bunn, favoriserte Clara. Bare Elodie hadde elsket henne siden hun var barn, og ga henne varme som hun verdsatte for livet.

Men Elodie hadde gått bort for ikke så lenge siden, noe som gjorde Smith-familien enda mindre viktig for henne.

Catherine snudde seg og gikk mot døren uten å nøle.

I dette øyeblikket, Celeste, som var i ferd med å si noe sentimentalt, følte seg ganske flau, så hun sa, "Hva slags holdning er det? En eldre snakker til deg på en hyggelig måte, og du oppfører deg slik. Du og Clara vokste opp sammen, men din karakter og moral er verdener fra hverandre!"

Fra Oliver visste Celeste også at Catherines biologiske foreldre ikke hadde det godt.

'Det ble sagt at familien er veldig fattig, bor i et av de mest tilbakestående og fattige områdene i landet, hvor landsbyen ikke engang har en skikkelig vei. Catherines foreldre er bønder, med eldre brødre og søstre og besteforeldre som også er i dårlig helse. I en slik fattig og tilbakestående familie, ville Catherine sikkert ha et tøft liv hvis hun drar dit. Hun må kanskje forsørge familien i ung alder, jobbe som en hest!' tenkte Celeste.

Claras år med å føle seg underlegen i Catherines skygge hadde blitt til sterk selvtillit. Hun reiste seg og fulgte etter Catherine, "Catherine, jeg skal følge deg ut."

Oliver kastet et misbilligende blikk på Celeste.

"Det holder! Catherine tok vare på deg og Elodie da du var syk."

Celeste stirret på ham.

"Ta vare? Vi ga henne god mat og drikke. Hun burde vite sin plass. Jeg er bare redd hun begjærer Claras ekteskap. Bare vår biologiske datter ville gifte seg inn i Johnson-familien!"

'Lucas og Smith-familien har en ekteskapsavtale, så naturlig nok burde det være for Smith-familiens ekte datter, ikke Catherine! Dessuten har Clara vært nær Lucas siden barndommen og har et godt forhold til ham. Sammenlignet med Catherine, er Clara, den ekte datteren, virkelig hensynsfull og fornuftig.' Claras identitet ble endelig gjenopprettet, noe som fikk Celeste til å føle seg mye bedre.

Når hun tenkte på sitt ekteskap, smisket Clara også, klemte lommetørkleet sitt og smilte lykkelig.

Clara hadde elsket å konkurrere siden hun var barn, spesielt glede seg over å ta Catherines ting, fra småting som smykker, mat og klær til Oliver og Celestes hengivenhet.

Fordi hun ikke brydde seg, tok Catherine det aldri til hjertet, bare tenkte at Clara hadde vært en bedrager siden barndommen og at Smith-familien ikke kunne se folk klart.

Når det gjelder Lucas Johnson, hvis Clara ikke hadde nevnt ham, ville Catherine nesten ha glemt at han eksisterte.

"Clara, du vil virkelig ha hver mann, ikke sant?" fnyste Catherine.

I shouldn’t care.

I don’t care.

It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.

It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.

Especially not her.

Especially not someone like her.

She’s not my problem.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
