Chapter 1 Being Kidnapped


    In September, the autumn air was fresh as white clouds hovered the blue skies. The early morning


    sunshine sprinkled on the hurried pedestrians as if the sun was trying to greet them.


    At this time, the red light was still glowing, so everyone was held up on both sidewalks.


    Suddenly, a loud scream burst from the crowd. "Emily, from now on, you will be a freshman in senior


    high school. You can do this! Let''s go!"


    Everyone nced at the source of the voice with contempt.


    A slim young girl in a white school uniform had a schoolbag strapped to her back. She clenched her


    fists, stimting all the positive energy she could carry.


    ''Oh my God! This is embarrassing.''


    Realizing that she had attracted the attention of everyone on the street, Emily Jiang withdrew her arms


    dejectedly and held the straps of her schoolbag. She adjusted her thick-rimmed sses, running down


    the pedestrianne the moment the traffic light turned green.


    After a few steps, seven or eight ck Bugatti Veyrons zigzagged across thene. The atmosphere


    around her tensed as the cars surrounded her. She pursed her lips. No matter where she moved, she


    couldn''t find anywhere to escape to.


    Ever since Emily Jiang was born, she had never offended anyone. In fact, she had always been a good


    student in the eyes of her teachers. She was also a good citizen ording to her clean record.


    What on earth was happening?


    ''I''m going to bete for ss,'' she thought.


    "Get out of my way!" she roared adamantly. With her hands on her hips, Emily Jiang stomped forward.


    Suddenly, the ck doors opened and more than ten men in ck suits and sunsses walked out of


    the cars. All of them looked incredibly strong. In fact, even just one of them could beat her up in a


    second.


    ''Are they part of some mafia or something?'' She didn''t want to join the underworld.


    "Miss Emily, pleasee with us." Two men stood by her sides. Each of them held her by the wrist.


    "Who are you? Where are you taking me? I can sue you for kidnapping, you know!" With one hand on


    the car door, Emily struggled hard. Her feet were kicking up in the air as she tried her best to remove


    their hold.


    ''If you want to kidnap me, then I''ll show you just how powerful I am! I can kick you so hard that you''ll


    beg for mercy!'' She had already reached level 8 in her Taekwondo, but no matter how much she kicked


    and punched, it didn''t work.


    "Are you all made of iron?" she gasped out, panting awkwardly. Her shoes were kicked across the


    pavements, but the two men still held her to the door.


    "Miss Emily, please give in."


    They pressed her head forward and ced her on the back seat.


    "This is kidnapping!" Emily Jiang yelled restlessly. In a moment of desperation, she grabbed the hand


    of the man beside her and bit him hard. The man cried out in pain, retracting his hold.


    She took the opportunity to open the door, but before she could escape, he lifted up her cor.


    "You might as well give up by now. There''s no way we will let you go." She was carried back to her seat


    pathetically.


    "Drive." Soon, all of the cars left the intersection as if nothing had ever happened.


    "How could you do this to me? What have I ever done to you?" Emily Jiang sobbed out. If she couldn''t


    defeat them with her hands, then she could defeat them with her tears


    "Miss Emily, we''re just following orders. Please don''t cry," the men exined helplessly, not wanting to


    hurt her.


    However, Emily Jiang just continued to sob. Her cries became louder and louder. All the bodyguards


    were at a loss of what to do.


    "Miss Emily, this is actually a good thing. Please don''t cry."


    "Really? Do you think this is a good thing? Tell me how!" As soon as she heard that this was a good


    thing, her eyes automatically lit up. She held her tears back as her hands grasped the corner of the


    bodyguard''s clothes.


    "You''ll know when the timees. You won''t be disappointed."


    "Fine. If it''s not a good thing, then all of you are dead meat." She wagged her little finger at them


    threateningly. When they nodded, she sat quietly on the back seat to the men''s relief.


    After several turns, the car finally stopped at the gates of a luxurious vi.


    The vi was designed as if it was one of the vis in Europe. Its golden tiles shone brightly under the


    sun as the waters from the fountains glistened under the light. She clenched the straps of her handbag


    and followed one of the men towards the hall.


    An old man holding a crutch was sitting on a white sofa. He smiled lightly, waiting for her toe over.


    As she got closer and closer, the old man finally saw Emily''s face. Although her dark eyes were


    shrouded by a pair of thick-rimmed sses, her paper white skin, tiny oval face, and pink cherry lips


    were exactly the same as his granddaughter''s.

    All the staff were whispering to each other as they stared at the young girl.


    "You look so much like her," the old man eximed, chortling.


    "Mr. Sam, Miss Emily is here."


    After the man finished his report, he stepped aside and left Emily in the middle of the room. She rubbed


    the back of her neck and nced around.


    Was there anything on her face? Why was everyone staring at her?


    "Hey, old man, why did you kidnap me?" Emily demanded.


    "Your name is Emily, right?" The old man tilted his head.


    "Yes." "How did you know me? Do we know each other?" she asked cautiously.


    "From now on, your name will be Shirley, not Emily. Do you understand?" the old man said


    condescendingly, not even bothering to answer her question.


    "And why will I be called Shirley? I have my own name!" Emily crossed her arms, not really knowing


    what was going on. Countless questions haunted her mind.


    "Luke, exin everything to her and send her to the Holy Sakura Noble School as soon as possible."


    The old man stood up and left the hall with his crutch. He walked upstairs, leaving a row of servants.


    Suddenly, a man stepped out from the row. He was none other than Luke Zhang, the butler.


    "Here''s the thing. The An Family is an extremely well-known family. Miss Shirley is supposed to


    participate in an engagement party with Mr. James, a royal member, but she ran away. Although we


    haven''t found her yet, we found you."


    "Just because we look exactly the same?" In an instant, Emily finally pieced everything together.


    "Yes."


    "What if I don''t agree?" She didn''t want to be engaged with a man she didn''t know. Besides, she was


    far too young! How could she be engaged so quickly?


    "How about you answer this call from your parents?" Luke Zhang smirked, handing her the phone.


    She stared at that phone doubtfully, wondering why they called her here.


    "Hello, is that Emi? We''re your parents. You can stay at the An Family for a while. We''re already going


    to Europe! It''s the first time since we''ve gone abroad. You can be Miss Shirley for a while, okay? We


    haven''t enjoyed our life ever since you were born. It''s time you take one for the team, okay? We love


    you very much! Good bye, dear!"


    Before Emily could say anything,


    they already hung up.


    "Miss Emily, your parents were already given a million dors. Will you really let them give it back? Or


    will you just cooperate with us?" Luke Zhang said innocently.


    "What? One million?" she shrieked. She didn''t know whether or not she was actually their biological


    daughter. How could they sell her like this?


    "Maybe more. It depends on them."


    "Kill me already," Emily howled in outrage.


    Today was aplete disaster.


    "Maid, help Emily... Well, Miss Shirley, get dressed up."


    "Yes, Mr. Luke." The servants hurried Emily into the dressing room.


    Half an hourter.


    As she was forced to take off her sses, Emily put on a pair of contact lenses. She changed uniforms.


    Her ck ponytail was loosened, letting her strands fall on her shoulders. The ends were slightly


    curled. She wore a pair of crystal heels, whichpleted the overall haughty temperament.


    "Is this... Is this real?" she whispered. Emily couldn''t even recognize herself.


    After tidying herself up, she followed Luke Zhang into a Lincoln car. In the car, Luke Zhang had already


    informed her all the do''s and don''ts of Shirley An''s life. Honestly, it just bored her to death.


    Finally, the car stopped in front of the golden gates of the Holy Sakura Noble School. "We''re here, Miss


    Shirley," Luke Zhang said.


    The Holy Sakura Noble School was the best aristocratic high school in Sakura Kingdom. It covered the


    Before this, Emily had only attended an ordinary high school. She had never dreamed that she would


    enter such a school. It felt as if she could wake up at any minute.


    "Miss Shirley, please wait for me here. I''ll go through the enrollment procedures first," Luke Zhang said


    before heading to the administration building to file all the documents.


    Emily stood by the gates of the glorious school. She was inplete awe.


    ''You''re so lucky, Emily!'' she thought as she gazed up at the golden gates. Her bright eyes glistened.
