Chapter 3

3.

'I know perfectly well whether I've gone crazy or not.'

If some blood ties need a DNA test for proof, then for me, recognizing Anya Morley as my biological daughter only took a single glance.

She's the spitting image of me.

It's just that there are still some connections I haven't figured out.

I'm certain I only gave birth to one daughter back then, and Anya Morley's very existence has already proven who my real child is.

But the similar looks between Jasmine Quinn and Quentin Quinn made some seemingly impossible theories surface in my mind.

After all, in eighteen years, Quentin Quinn and I had rarely ever argued.

His family was not as well-off as mine back then. He married into my family, and while our union wasn't based on love, we had always been respectful to one another.

After we married, Quentin Quinn kept to himself. Citing his own professional shortcomings, he volunteered to be a stay-at-home husband while I dove into the business world to support the company and provide for our family.

'If he has been plotting against me, doesn't that mean this conspiracy has been going on for eighteen long years?'

My heart went cold.

Some answers seemed obvious, but they still required verification.

Jasmine Quinn was still sniffling and crying. Quentin Quinn was patiently consoling her, occasionally shooting me a hostile glare.

I simply ignored them.

This whole affair reminded me of Quentin Quinn's strange behavior over the past two years.

My work kept me busy, and my hours at home were irregular. Sometimes, business trips would keep me away for ten days, even half a month. But over the past two years, I've deliberately trained my subordinates and delegated many of my responsibilities, so I haven't been quite as busy.

That's when I found out that on the days I wasn't home, Quentin Quinn wasn't home either.

I asked him about it, and he said he was out with friends.

'Back then, I thought it was normal for him to find ways to pass the time with friends since I wasn't around. But looking at it now, it probably wasn't that simple, was it?'

Besides, I've raised Jasmine Quinn for seventeen years.

Setting aside the venom I just saw in her eyes, she was usually very clingy with me, always calling me "Mom" so affectionately.

'I wonder if she knows anything about all this.'

The world was a symphony of agony, played on the strings of my own body. I was tied to a chair in a damp basement, the metallic tang of blood filling my mouth as my fingernails were ripped from their beds by a pair of rusty pliers. My best friend, Corrine, stepped into the flickering light wearing my favorite Chanel suit and the engagement ring that was supposed to be mine. Beside her, my fiancé Aldo held the pliers, his voice smooth and cultured as he demanded I sign over my entire inheritance to them. As I struggled, a news report flashed on an old TV in the corner: Hunter Gallagher, the man I had treated like dirt but who had always tried to protect me, was dead in a horrific car explosion. Corrine laughed, whispering in my ear that they had lured him to his death using a fake kidnapping tip. He died trying to save me from a trap set by the people I trusted most. They didn't just want my money; they wanted to erase me. They plunged a needle full of heroin into my neck, watching with cold, mocking eyes as my heart hammered against my ribs and finally seized into nothingness. I died in that basement, a blind, spoiled girl who had let her true protector be murdered. As the darkness closed in, my soul burned with a single, silent vow: If I ever get another life, I will drag you both to hell with me. Suddenly, I gasped for air, my lungs fighting against a weight that wasn't there. I wasn't in the basement; I was in my own bed, my fingernails intact and my skin unbroken. I checked my phone, and my heart stopped—it was May 20th, exactly one year before my death. Hunter was still alive, and this time, I wasn't the prey.
