No Surrender,The True Heiress’s Fight Chapter 2

They pulled me back.

Mom and Dad grabbed hold of me.

But I kept struggling, trying to throw myself off. "Let go of me! Either I die, or she's out!"

Only one thought consumed my mind.

Get rid of Seraphina.

Get rid of this thief, this robber who stole everything from me.

Mom was crying uncontrollably.

Yet, she still wouldn't concede, wouldn't agree to make Seraphina move out.

It was Seraphina herself, clutching her bleeding head, who walked to the balcony and slowly knelt before me.

"I'm so sorry. I'll leave right now."

"I'm so sorry for taking your place for so long."

She looked pathetic.

Blood streamed down her face, making her appear utterly disheveled.

It was a blatant display of misery.

But I knew she wasn't faking it.

She had always wanted to move out.

It was Mom and Dad who wouldn't let her.

This time, Dad didn't try to stop her; he just sighed helplessly.

And Mom and Seraphina embraced, weeping together!

That very night, Seraphina vanished from the house.

A huge weight lifted off my chest, and a secret thrill coursed through me.

Even when the nannies looked at me with strange eyes, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Instead, right in front of them, I took every single strawberry from the fridge and tossed them into the trash. "Strawberries are what I hate most."

"From now on, I forbid any trace of strawberries in this house. No, not just strawberries—anything connected to Seraphina is gone!"

The nannies in the mansion didn't dare to defy me anymore.

They cleared out Seraphina's belongings at top speed.

This made me feel incredibly triumphant.

After all, ever since I returned to this elite family.

They had always looked at me with mocking eyes.

Whispering behind my back about how I wasn't as good as Seraphina.

Whatever Seraphina told them to do, they did.

For me, they just brushed me off!

After I got rid of Seraphina, I felt great for a while.

But then I saw how unhappy Mom and Dad were, and a slow unease crept into my heart.

So, I tried to imitate Seraphina's behavior, hoping to please them.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with trying to be like Seraphina.

If I had grown up in this house, those things would have been *my* duties, not hers.

I thought I could replace Seraphina.

And I worked tirelessly towards it.

Whether it was making coffee just the way Dad liked it.

Or arranging flowers, Mom's favorite pastime.

Plus, all my regular lessons.

I slept less than six hours every night.

But all of it was just an illusion.

And what shattered that pathetic fantasy was a house purchase agreement...

Ever since I returned to this elite family, I'd gained many "enemies."

Those other socialites looked down on me, constantly mocking me.

Seraphina's rival, Veronica, was the worst of them.

She'd sneer, "Though I've always hated Seraphina's high-and-mighty act, compared to someone as low-class as you, dragging down our standards..."

"I'd rather have her as the heiress."

I'd always been furious.

So, after I drove Seraphina away.

When Veronica came to provoke me again, I gloated about Seraphina being gone. "No matter what, fake is fake."

"Is some illegitimate child really better than the real thing?"

But she just laughed and told me another truth.

My parents had bought Seraphina a luxurious penthouse apartment.

And whenever they said they were busy with business trips and wouldn't be home overnight, they were actually at that apartment, spending time with Seraphina.

"Idiot, you think you drove Seraphina away?"

"But all you did was give her a huge apartment for free. That place is worth tens of millions!"

"Do *you* have that?"

"Oh right, your parents are gone; they've started a new family elsewhere."
