Reba’s words hung in the air, neither too heavy nor too light, yet they stirred a wave of murmurs


    among the crowd.


    Indeed! How could a baby mix–up happen in a hospital? Maybe it was an intentional switch, a real–


    life changeling story.-


    Anthea’s biological mother was known as a home wrecker, and what lower act wouldn’t she


    stoop to?


    Anyone else might have been scared by Reba’s usation, but the woman standing before


    Reba was a soul–changed Anthea, a titan who had once stood at the pinnacle of the world.


    Anthea slightly lowered her gaze, looking at Reba with a calm voice. “Ms. Morris, you seem so


    convinced, and one would assume you have ample evidence to prove it was a deliberate act. Our


    Luxphinia Country’sws are fair and just. Justice serves everyone right. I’ll await Ms. Morris at the


    courthouse, ready to face any ims with evidence!”


    Reba squinted her eyes, sensing an inexplicable unease. This woman was Anthea, so why did


    she feel threatened? Was she losing to Anthea?


    Reba managed to calm down, continuing, “It’s been eighteen years. Any evidence has been.


    buried by time. You’re grasping at straws!”


    Anthea offered a slight smile. “In the absence of evidence, your actions might be called spection


    at best and, at worst, false usation. To be more severe, here in Luxphinia, we have defamation


    of character!”


    The strange feeling inside Reba intensified. She knew she couldn’t continue this argument. with


    Anthea. After all, it was the underdog who captured the gaze and sympathy of the crowd.


    She needed to recapture their attention. Reba’s eyes welled up, her voice choked with emotion,


    “You’ve taken my ce in my family for eighteen years, living the good life, while I was stuck with


    your despicable mother in that dark, damp basement, unsure of my next meal! Anthea, what right


    do you have to stand there and judge me!”


    Sandra trembled with fury, holding Reba’s hand tightly.


    They had lived in a high–rise vi while her darling daughternguished in a basement.


    Was a basement a fit ce for anyone to live?


    Sandra could have strangled Anthea right then and there.


    The others looked on with faces full of sympathy toward Reba.


    Anthea looked up slightly. “We are both victims here. I’m not ming you. I’m just stating the facts.


    Moreover, I’ve already said I would leave this ce. From now on, I’ll be Anthea Yeager, with no


    ties to the Morris family. There’s no need for you to cling to this.”


    Eyes red, Reba retorted, “I’m not clinging to anything! Why must you be so aggressive? I’m just


    saying that something about the past seems suspicious! I know you don’t want to leave my family.


    After all, you’ve been my parents‘ daughter for so many years! I’ll treat you like a sister from now


    on…


    “My God, Sherman! Your fiancée is too kind! Even after all this, she’s willing to forgive the impostor!”


    Daniel was moved beyond words, having never seen someone as benevolent as Reba. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    After hearing that, the surrounding crowd started praising Reba for her kindness.


    Anthea smiled. “Thank you for your kindness, but this ce is not my home.”


    Reba was shocked. What was going on with Anthea?


    She had offered her a chance to stay, yet Anthea still chose to leave.


    Daly Morris immediately gestured for someone to bring a document. “Since you’ve decided to leave,


    please sign this ‘Deed of Separation.“”


    In Luxphinia, an adopted daughter had inheritance rights. Since Anthea had decided to sever ties


    with the Morris family, Daly wouldn’t intend to leave a legacy to someone essentially a stranger after


    a century.
