My husband has asthenospermia, so we decide to try IVF. Before the embryos are combined, I catch my husband switching my ovum out for his true love's. I don't say anything and switch them back. At the same time, I switch my husband's sample out for my ex-boyfriend's. 25 years later, my husband's true love comes knocking. She holds my daughter's hands and weeps while saying, "I'm your mother, my darling!"
View MoreElla watched in horror as the murder scene unfolded before her eyes while I calmly sipped my tea.The police arrived soon and took Gordon away.Still in a daze, Ella asked me, "Mom, this was the show you wanted me to see?"I put down my teacup and said seriously, "Ella, remember this—never show mercy when dealing with enemies."Ella was confused. "Gordon Grant just tried to usurp my inheritance. You just have to kick him out of the family. Why did you have to go this far?""Because your father's accident at the construction site years ago wasn't just an accident. It was Gordon who had schemed to get him there, and it was Ingrid who cut the brakes on the truck that hit him."I tried my best to remain calm, but I still failed to keep the hatred from creeping into my voice.To this day, I couldn't forget how I felt when I saw Yves covered in blood.For the past 25 years, I wanted nothing more than to kill Gordon and Ingrid.However, I held back because I wanted them to destroy ea
Failing to get the money back, their relationship began to crumble as they pushed the blame onto each other.After exhausting the 50,000 dollars, Gordon ran out of money.Ingrid refused to spend her remaining savings to support him. Instead, she forced him to find a job and threatened to kick him out if he didn't.Out of the kindness of my heart, I called a recruiter and asked them to arrange a job for Gordon.Sometime later, I invited Ella to have lunch with me.On the way to the restaurant, I couldn't help but hum happily.Ella asked me why I was so happy.I told her that I was happy because we were about to enjoy a good show later.In the private room on the second floor, Ella saw Gordon—a man who refused to lift a finger for chores—cooking in the kitchen through a pane of glass.She looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "That's it?""Of course there's more. Keep watching," I told her with a smile.After a few minutes, we saw Ingrid entering the restaurant with a good-looki
I gave Gordon a mocking look and took out yet another DNA test report from my bag. "Here is Ella and Yves' DNA test report."I pulled out the report and showed it to everyone present. "It's fine if you still don't believe me. Ella is right here, and Yves is at the hospice. You can get the laboratory staff to conduct another test with samples collected on-site."Ella belongs to the Grant family. I'll make sure you're convinced of that!"Ingrid and David were utterly dumbfounded.They had never expected that Ella would be Yves' daughter.Rose still looked composed on the surface, but there was a glint of tears in her eyes.The Grant relatives were whispering amongst themselves."Ella is Yves' daughter!""In that case, she's the rightful heir of the family business!""Gordon's an illegitimate child himself. Looks like he's gotten to the end of his wits, and this is how he's trying to take over the family inheritance!"All of them looked at Gordon with disdain.Gordon collapsed
Rose recovered from her initial shock and resumed her usual composure.She ignored Gordon, her expression so complicated that no one could tell what she was thinking.In a rare display of vulnerability, she asked me in a trembling voice, "Eden, is this true?"I suddenly felt tears well up in my eyes when I saw her like this. "Yes, Rose. It's true."Unhappy with Rose's reaction, Gordon shook her arm anxiously. "Mom, hurry up and announce David as your heir!"Rose had collected herself by then. Brushing him away, she asked calmly, "Do you know who Eden's ex-boyfriend is?"Gordon ruffled his hair in frustration. "What has that got to do with me? All I know is that Ella isn't part of the Grant family!""Eden's ex-boyfriend is your older brother, Yves Grant. She's still part of the Grant family. In fact, she is the only rightful and legitimate heir of the Grant family!"Rose's words were like a bomb dropped into the crowd."As all of you know, back then, the Grant family had a trad
The lab staff cleared his throat and began reading the results. "According to the DNA test results, Ms. Ingrid Bolton and Ms. Ella Grant are…"He paused deliberately for dramatic effect, which made Ingrid and Gordon more nervous. They stretched their necks, leaning in so close that they were nearly face-to-face with the staff.The rest of the Grant family waited with bated breaths. Their expressions varied as they awaited my downfall."...not biologically related."The air seemed to go still.Gordon widened his eyes. "Impossible! There must have been a mistake!" he roared hysterically.Ingrid screamed as well. "How could this be? How could we not be biologically related?"Her face was ashen. Not even the carefully-applied makeup could cover up her fear and panic."Are you blind? Let me see that!" David grabbed the report. After reading it, he collapsed onto a nearby chair and mumbled to himself, "How can this be?"I got the lab staff to read out the DNA test report for Ella an
Finally, the day Ingrid had been waiting for arrived.I woke up early on purpose to dress up nicely. I even put on some makeup.I wanted to look radiant while witnessing Ingrid's impending humiliation.Gordon had invited the entire Grant family, including Rose, to the lab to witness the results as soon as they came out. He probably wanted as many people there as possible to witness my humiliation.How naïve.He wanted to make a joke out of me, not knowing that he was the biggest tool in the shed.Before seeing the results, I asked Gordon with a smirk, "You chose this lab yourself. You won't have any objections to the results, would you?"Gordon straightened and said confidently, "Of course not! I always keep my word!"I almost laughed out loud.What a stubborn mule.The staff at the research lab had yet to return with our results, but Ingrid had already started her act.She linked her arm through Gordon's and leaned against his shoulder, saying daintily, "Once the results ar
Gordon had chosen the lab where we were to get the DNA test. Worried that I would somehow sabotage the results, he'd selected one of the most authoritative research labs in the country.I scoffed at his choice. What a self-righteous man.After taking blood samples from me, Ingrid, and Ella, I told the staff to test Gordon's blood as well.Gordon looked at me in disbelief. "Have you lost your mind? There's no doubt that Ella is my daughter!"I smiled slyly. "Come on. We're already here. Might as well get it done."Ella didn't know why I was doing this, but she knew that I had a reason. Therefore, she threw a small tantrum and insisted that Gordon do the DNA test as well.Since she was now Gordon's source of fortune, he agreed to her demands easily.As we were leaving the lab, David appeared with a bouquet of flowers. "Ella!" he cried warmly. He handed her the flowers and made to hug her.Ella scrunched up her face in disgust and pushed him away. "Don't touch me."David was ab
I exchanged a look with Ella."Even though Ella is not biologically mine, she's still my only daughter in the eyes of the law," I said. "When I die, she will inherit everything I own, including my properties, assets, stocks, funds, and 20% stake in the Grant Corporation."Given this, Ella, would you choose me, or choose your father and his wife who is a stranger to you?"I could almost see the gears turning in Ella's little mind. She understood what I was saying immediately.She threw herself into my arms and said brightly, "Dad has David now. He's not going to leave me with anything. Of course I want to be with you, Mom!"Good girl. I'd taught her well.She'd told them our intentions, just in a twisted way so they wouldn't be able to understand anyway.Hearing that I was willing to give Ella everything I own, Ingrid's eyes brightened considerably.She knew I had substantial assets under my name. Just my jewelry and property were worth quite a fortune, not to mention the 20% st
When my daughter Ella and I arrived home from a business trip abroad, where we had been surveying a medical partnership project, we were shocked at the sight that greeted us.The house was teeming with relatives, including some distant ones who rarely made an appearance. It felt like an impromptu family summit.They all gathered around in what seemed like a massive family meeting.Ingrid Bolton stood out to me jarringly. She sat at the center of the gathering, sobbing dramatically.Then, there was Gordon Grant, my "husband dearest," who rarely bothered to come home. He was busy hugging and comforting Ingrid with what looked like tender concern.Amused, I raised an eyebrow as I set my suitcase aside. Turning to Gordon, I remarked lightly, "What's going on today? It's quite the festive gathering."Ella, walking behind me, crossed her arms and fixed Ingrid with a distant, disdainful look. Clearly, she had already guessed who Ingrid was.My mother-in-law, Rose Jameson, sat in the ma
