Reading settings
After discovering that I had a Lucky Charm personality, my adoptive parents sent me back to my biological parents, the Fosters, who are the richest family around.
That same day, I was shut out at the door.
Rich Foster pointed at my nose, denying that I was his country girl daughter.
Becky Foster wasn’t backing down either, claiming I was harboring unrealistic dreams.
My brother, Luke, went even further, dragging along a fake heiress to stage a deep sibling bond.
I laughed.
Looks like the richest man is about to lose his title.
The fortune teller said I was a Lucky Charm and also the daughter of the richest man in town.
Well, the Lucky Charm part wasn’t wrong, but honestly, I didn’t think my parents had anything to do with Rich Foster.
Still, we went ahead and got a paternity test. The results confirmed that I wasn’t biologically related to my parents.
My parents—oh, no, my adoptive parents.
They acted swiftly, going to the hospital where I was born to question the delivery doctor.
After several turns and twists, we finally confirmed—I was indeed switched at birth.
This news was as shocking to me as the U.S. men's soccer team winning the World Cup.
So, our family gathered seriously to discuss how to resolve the situation.
My adoptive parents meant that, after all, those on the other side were my biological parents, and if I wanted to go back, they wouldn’t stop me.
Personally, I didn’t really want to be separated from my adoptive parents.
But I did want to meet my biological parents.
After much deliberation, I took the hospital’s proof and prepared to meet them.
True to their status as the richest family, Rich and Becky Foster lived in the famous Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
I found them and politely explained what had happened, showing them the hospital certificate.
Rich and Becky glanced at it and then looked at me with full suspicion.
“Miss, forging a hospital seal is illegal. You must be pretty bold to try to climb into a wealthy family like this.”
I had anticipated that they wouldn’t easily believe me.
So I suggested a prepared solution, maintaining my dignity, “I’m not lying to you. This is the genuine hospital certificate.”
“If you still don’t trust me, we can get another paternity test right now. If it proves that I’m not your biological daughter, I can take all the consequences.”
Rich and Becky exchanged a glance and finally agreed to take me for another paternity test.
On the day the results came out, their two children were also there.
Lisa Lawson, the girl suspected of being switched at birth, and my supposed brother, Luke Martin.
The scientific results confirmed that I was indeed their child.
Upon hearing the results, Lisa immediately covered her mouth and started crying.
Rich and Becky immediately went to comfort her, looking heartbroken.
Luke stepped forward, blocking her, and looked at me with hostility.
“Even if you were switched at birth, so what? We only have my sister, Lisa, as our daughter. You should go back.”
Luke looked down at me from the steps, his eyes full of disgust.
I opened my mouth to respond, but Lisa had already shouted out with a tearful voice.
“I’ve been Lawson’s daughter since I was little, always staying by our parents’ side all these years. How dare you try to replace everything I have with just a piece of paper!”
Me: “……”
Wait a minute, when did I say I wanted to replace her?
“Sophie, whatever you want, I’ll give you, but please don’t take my family away.”
She curled up in my mom’s arms, crying pitifully.
“I didn’t…”
“Sophie!” Rich suddenly interrupted me, “If you came here for money, just name the amount, and we’ll give it to you.”
“But it’s impossible for you to accept me back. Our family will always have only Lisa as a daughter!”
“I’m not here to ask for money.” I argued weakly.
My mom sneered nearby.
“You’re not here to ask for money. You’re here to be a wealthy heiress.”
She held Lisa in her arms, looking coldly at me.
“Sophie, you’re too cruel. You were switched at birth, but our family is doing just fine. Why come back here and disgust us?”
I stared at her, unable to believe these words were coming from my biological mother’s mouth.
“I’m telling you, Sophie, we will never abandon Lisa to accept you back. Don’t harbor unrealistic dreams!”
My father, mother, and brother stood there protectively, shielding Lisa, their eyes towards me like I was an invading enemy.
I stood silently across from them, calmly feeling their hostility towards me.
After a long moment, I suddenly let out a soft laugh.
My adoptive parents became even more guarded, but I took a step back, and politely bowed to them.
“First of all, I’m very grateful that you gave me life. After all, without you, I wouldn’t exist.”
“Secondly, I want to explain that I didn’t come here to become a wealthy heiress or anything like that. I simply wanted to see what my biological parents are like.”
I tilted my eyes, the spark in them gradually turning cold.
“Finally, thank you for showing your disdain without even listening to my explanation.”
“I won’t recognize you anymore in the future. I hope you won’t regret it.”
After I finished speaking, I thought about thanking them for giving me life with a bow, and then ruthlessly turned to leave.
Only after I left the gated community did I stop.
I turned around, looking towards the Foster mansion with a mocking smile.
“Just you wait.”
This richest man is about to lose his title soon.
