The day my son is born, my husband holds him tightly, looking overjoyed. However, while I'm asleep, he secretly swaps my son with the child next door—his first love's baby. I act like I know nothing and arrange for someone to switch the babies back. My husband wants me to raise someone else's child as my own but has no idea he's not even the father of my son. Ten years later, I transfer all my assets to my son's name as a birthday gift. That's when my husband's first love, Amanda Larkin, crashes the birthday party. She looks at me smugly and says, "The son you've treasured for the past decade is actually mine!"

Even sharing a bed with you disgusts me.""No! I don't believe that!" Greg had totally lost his composure. "Why did you marry me, then?""Since I couldn't marry Derek, it didn't matter who I ended up with. I just needed a father for my baby. I gave you a lot of money, but you were insatiable. You deserve everything that has happened to you."Greg's face was pale as he back at me, mumbling, "Impossible… This is impossible…"His face contorted into a scowl the next moment. "Give me back all my money! That was my money! I can't give it all to Jacob—he's not even my son!""Your money?" I felt like I had heard a massive joke. "You lived off my money all these years, and yet you're talking about your money! I was the one who gave it to you in the first place! Anyway, you willingly signed the asset transfer agreement, whic
Amanda held her head and yelled, "No. No!" At the same time, Charlotte had passed out on the floor after coughing up some blood just now."Charlotte! My baby!" Amanda broke down and shook Charlotte's body.Charlotte opened her eyes with much difficulty. She whispered feebly, "Mom, bring me to the hospital… I don't want to die…""Yes! Of course! I'll bring you to a doctor!"Amanda carried Charlotte in her arms, ready to leave. Suddenly, it occurred to her that she had given all her money to Jacob."Rachel Weiss, give my money back!"I shook my head coldly. "You gave it willingly. I'm not legally obliged to return it to you.""You're such a bitch! You knew Charlotte was my daughter, but you kept the truth from me! How can you even call yourself human?"With a smile, I arched my brow questioningly. "And you call yourself human for abusing a child you thought was my daughter? It's too late to regret your actions. You were killing your own daughter!"Chaos ensued at the test cent
Amanda was shouting outside my villa at the crack of dawn on the day she was told to collect the DNA test results.She had brought a group of people with her, the same way she had during Jacob's birthday party.I silently studied her face. The group followed behind Amanda all the way to the DNA testing center. She had called them to witness my humiliation, but I was afraid she would be left disappointed.Before we checked the results, I smiled at Greg. "You were the one who chose the DNA testing center. I didn't take part at any point. Surely, you won't dispute the results?"He replied sternly, "Of course I won't.""Good."Before the doctor showed up, Amanda leaned against Greg, saying, "When the results are out, we will be family forever."She shot me a conceited smile as if she were showing off, but I paid her no attention.My reaction bored her. She then tried to strike up a conversation with Jacob, but he turned his back toward her, leaving her embarrassed. Greg and Aman
I had repeatedly taunted Greg and Amanda in my mind. They thought they had a great plan, taking me for a fool who had been played. Little did they know that I had been prepared to face this. They would have nothing to do with Weiss Group, Jacob, and all my assets.Since we had signed the asset transfer agreement, Jacob became the largest shareholder in Weiss Group.To make up for Jacob's ruined birthday party—all thanks to Greg and Amanda—I wanted to take this opportunity to throw another one for him.Halfway through the party, a commotion broke out at the entrance. I saw Charlotte being held back by the security guards.She looked even worse than she had a few days ago; she was unsteady and wobbling."Mom! I want my mom! Rachel is my mom!"I walked out, trying to get her to leave, but she held onto my leg and refused to let go. "Mom, please save me! I'm sick and need to be in the hospital. I really don't want to die!"I tried to get her hands off me, but I was scared of hurti
While the lawyer was busy drafting the agreement, I observed Amanda's face.On the brink of tears, she clutched her fist tightly, watching the transfer of her assets to Jacob with pain. She had to put on an act, but she only ended up forcing a grimace.On the other hand, Greg had immediately reached out to the relevant center to arrange for the DNA test. At each step, he triple-checked the details, all while excluding me from the process.The doctor collected blood samples from me, Jacob, and Amanda, as per the standard procedures.I pointed at Greg. "He'll take the DNA test too."I was greeted with a snort. "I'm Jacob's biological dad. Do I really need to take the test?"I smiled at him. "Why not? Getting cold feet?"Jacob was confused by my request, but he took my side without hesitation to talk Greg into taking the DNA test. To Greg, Jacob wasn't just a son—he was the key to endless fortune. Naturally, he saw no reason to turn down Jacob's request.…After we left the DNA
Agitated, Greg was about to hug Jacob when the latter asked a question, "Mom offered me so much. What can you offer me?"Seconds ago, Greg and Amanda had been over the moon when they learned that I planned to give Jacob all my assets. Their eyes shone with greed. Apart from my commercial and residential properties abroad, I had one billion dollars in wealth. If I gave everything, including Weiss Group, to Jacob, Greg and Amanda would receive wealth that would last for generations.Amanda glanced at me and whispered to Greg, "When Rachel's father died, he gave all his shares to her. She owns 50% of Weiss Group now. "You own 5% of the shares. If you give it all to Jacob, he will own 55% of Weiss Group. Those properties worth hundreds of millions will belong to us. When that happens, we can kick Rachel out of the house!"Greg nodded furiously, agreeing with every word she said.He looked at Jacob with an increasingly tender gaze. "Son, you're my only child. Everything I own will g
I didn't look shocked at all. After all, I knew the truth—Charlotte was Greg and Amanda's biological daughter."Mom, I finally found you! You're my mom!"Charlotte's hair was dry and dull. She looked emaciated with sunken cheeks. One could tell the abuse she had endured living with Amanda over these years.Alas, Amanda must have assumed she was abusing my daughter when, in reality, Charlotte was her child all along.Timothy, who had first spoken up, could no longer stand this fiasco. He tapped his walking stick on the floor again, demanding answers. "Greg, who's this girl?"Nodding, Greg answered, "This is Rachel's daughter. She's been weak from a young age and is always sick. We can never nurse her back to health."Silence filled the living room.I had my doubts. Perhaps Charlotte wasn't born a sick child as they claimed; she was sick because of Amanda's deliberate neglect.Charlotte refused to let go of my hand. Her face was streaked with tears. "Mom, I miss you so much. Yo
Amanda tried to claim her child back with great sincerity. She thought I was in the dark.On the contrary, I was well aware of Greg and Amanda's actions. Jacob was my son—there was no doubt about that.Ten years ago, Dad had forced me to break up with my first love, Derek Stark, all because he deemed Derek poor and therefore not good enough for me.Dad passed away not long after I broke up with Derek. Drowning in despair, I agreed to marry Greg when he proposed to me. After all, he had been doggedly pursuing me for a long time. However, during the wedding preparations, I discovered that Greg was cheating on me with Amanda. Seeing that, I realized that he was only marrying me for my money; he had been dating Amanda from the start.On my wedding night, I made Greg drink so much alcohol that he became stupidly drunk. I misled him into thinking we had slept with each other.After Jacob was born, Greg stealthily switched him with Amanda's daughter. Unbeknownst to him, I quietly swi
One of our older relatives, Timothy Weiss, broke up the argument between Greg and Jacob. He tapped his walking stick on the floor to silence everyone."Quiet! What's going on?"As the oldest person there, Timothy commanded everyone's respect. He turned to Greg and Amanda, scrutinizing them. "Why do you have to cause a scene on Jacob's birthday?"Amanda shot Greg a look. Greg, taking her hint, immediately faked a sigh."Since everyone's here today, I shall take this opportunity to announce some very important news." As he spoke, he cast a conflicted look at Jacob.I coldly watched his acting, feeling nothing but disdain."Jacob isn't Rachel's son."As Greg dropped a bomb, the party attendees began to murmur among themselves.Jacob's shoulders trembled slightly. He looked at me with a mix of confusion, fear, and panic. I stroked his head to comfort him and gently pulled him closer.A gleeful, victorious look briefly flashed across Greg's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sadn
My son, Jacob Weiss, had just received the asset transfer agreement from me when Amanda Larkin barged into our house."Oh, Jacob, my dear son!"With tears streaming down her face, she rushed over to hug Jacob.Eyes widening in shock, Jacob tried to avoid her. The people who had followed Amanda into our house gave us curious looks.I silently sneered. They had entered the premises with Amanda, completely uninvited.I turned to my husband, Greg Morton. "Greg, mind explaining what Amanda is saying?"By now, Jacob was standing behind me. He cast an indifferent glance at Amanda, who was wiping her tears away. Then, he rolled his eyes at Greg.Although Jacob had just turned ten this year, he had unfortunately caught Greg having an extramarital affair with Amanda two years ago and told me the truth.I never imagined that my son would be exposed to the dark side of human nature at such a tender age. Ever since that day, Jacob had known that Greg didn't care about our family.Before Gr...
