The nanny, Polly Jackson, pushes me down the stairs when I'm seven months pregnant. I suffer from major blood loss and go into premature labor. Before I can question her about it, Zachary Campbell brushes me off with a lame excuse. "Polly didn't mean it. You and the baby are fine, so don't be so petty about this." I get out of bed to move around. I'm at the bathroom door when I hear Zachary and Polly's conversation. "Are you sure that wretch can stay alive, Zachary? Switching it out won't be that easy if it dies." "Don't worry about whether Daisy Jameson's baby can live, Mom. Either way, mine and Danielle's child will be the Campbell family's sole heir." I pretend I've never heard this and raise my son for 18 years. During a banquet held in honor of a share ownership transfer, Polly suddenly shows up with my mentally impaired daughter. She cries, "Mason is my grandson! It's high time he's returned to his rightful place after being raised by the wrong family for so long!" I'm unfazed. I even laugh at her words. "Fine, then!"

Regretting What She Got Chapter 10
The word 'azoospermia' seemed to have burned Zachary's eyes, humiliating him to no end.Everyone knew what this diagnosis meant—there was no sperm when he ejaculated. Zachary knew I wouldn't forge a document, so the truth was evident.Mason wasn't his son and he would never have a child of his own. Danielle had lied to him. Zachary was livid. He strode toward her and slapped Danielle. By the time the police arrived, her face was swollen. "Bitch! You're a shameless bitch! You've fooled me! Daisy and I were married, but we failed to get pregnant. You were the one who told me you were pregnant all of a sudden. You even claimed that you didn't want her to deliver my child. You bloody proposed that horrible idea! If it hadn't been for you, would I have needed to resort to such tactics? You fucking bitch! You've ruined my life."He ranted as he struggled against the police, trying to land another hit. Danielle wailed till her eyes swelled up. Due to the chaos of the situation, t

"I'm telling all of you now. When I realized that Mason wasn't my child, I did a DNA test with Griselda as well. The results astounded me as she isn't related to me either."However, I know I've never cheated on Zachary before. Thus, I did a DNA test for Zachary and Griselda as well. The results were the same. "Here's the problem. Why was I pregnant with a child I wasn't related to? This was why I had to lay in wait. I needed to confirm what was going on."Everyone knows that Zachary doesn't love me. It's understandable that he wouldn't allow me to get pregnant with his child. So, why did I get pregnant? As I spoke, I strode toward Zachary. Under my threatening glare, he backed away from me. "Mr. Campbell, can you answer the question?" His lips trembled. Zachary said nothing. "It looks like Mr. Campbell is feeling unwell. I'll answer the question for him, then. Because he did not love me, he implanted a fetus within me. Perhaps it was because the love of his life was alread

"Stop talking as though you sacrificed everything for me. You did everything willingly. Let me be honest with you. If not for the betrothal gift I was promised, I would not have married you! "You're the type of person I loathe the most—spoiled, rich girls who grew up pampered. You were meant to suffer under my hand. “You should've told me that you found out about my affair. Danielle and I wouldn't have had to keep things on the down low for such a long time. How could you be so unthoughtful?" The beginning of our relationship bloomed from his class feud. Our two decades together were a huge joke. "You've never really loved me. Is that what you're saying?" Perhaps I didn't want to admit I'd loved a horrible man. Thus, I asked the question that plagued me. From my wounded look, Zachary thought that I was trying to win him back. He cackled. "Dumbass! If not for the fact that I could exploit you, I would've dumped you a long time ago." He was just a poor kid who stumbled in

"What a tortured life this child has lived. If she hadn't been born in the Campbells, she would not have experienced such horrors." Danielle's true colors were aired to the public, making her feel like her head was about to be split open."Daisy, you bitch! How dare you stalk me? Turn it off." Danielle rushed forward and attempted to destroy the computer. Yet, she couldn't even reach it. "Are you getting into a tizzy already? We're just getting started. The good stuff is yet to come!" I slowly opened up another folder. A pair of lovers was shown on the screen, tangled up in each other. They were in the staff's quarters. As they changed positions, the man turned to the camera. It was Zachary. "Wow! Just as I'd expected. The nanny is involved with her employer!" "Mr. Campbell must be an idiot. Not only is he stupid, but he must be blind as well. His gorgeous wife wasn't enough for him. Yet, he had to cheat on her with the nanny." They had christened every corner of the

"Mom and I are merely employees. We gave everything we had to Griselda. Yet, she rebelled against us and even tried to beat us up! We're all victims. Griselda was the one behind all this!" It was hilarious. I chuckled out loud. Danielle tortured Griselda extensively. Yet, she was still shameless enough to insist she'd sacrificed everything for Griselda. The half-crazed glint in my eyes made Danielle cower in an attempt to hide her diffidence. "Mrs. Campbell, even if Mom and I haven't been able to offer the best services, at least we tried our hardest. Mason and Griselda were born around the same time. We took care of them around the clock. "Even when we had no idea that Mason was our son, we prioritized him over Griselda. We gave our utmost loyalty to you guys. Look at what you've done now. Mom cared for Griselda all these years, only to die a gruesome death. Doesn't that weigh on your conscience?"It was a pity Danielle wasn't in the entertainment industry. She was a stella

The people in the room were stunned by the revelations coming one after another. Everyone only went downstairs to see what was going on when police sirens started blaring. When the lifts arrived at the hall, the police had put up yellow tape around the surroundings. It was over. There was no way anyone could survive falling down a building of 20 stories. Zachary broke down as he rushed over, wailing, "That's my daughter. Griselda has been living like a beggar for her whole life. She didn't even get the chance to call me Dad. She was only eighteen and died such a gruesome death…"While everyone still focused on him, he punched himself in a show of guilt. "It was all my fault. I failed to recognize you and caused you to suffer for more than a decade. I'll accompany you in your death right now!"A few people surged forward quickly to stop him. Zachary cried till his knees went weak. He only managed to stand up after two burly men helped him up. My calmness made me look downr

Polly tossed the DNA report onto the table and took a seat at the center table. Griselda's eyes were unfocused as she sat beside Polly, mumbling intelligibly. "Mason is my son. That explains why I've always felt this inexplicable urge to pamper him. My son!" Danielle's eyes were teary as she reached out toward Mason to hug him. However, Mason couldn't even be bothered to mask his disdain for her as he stepped aside to evade her touch. "Before we get to the bottom of this, Ms. Danielle, I hope you can preserve your decorum. Keeping your distance will benefit both of us." The people gathered there had been let into a huge scandal. "A real-life case of swapped babies! Even the powerful Campbell family failed to realize this huge mistake?" "I think that it's impossible that the hospital would cause such a mix-up. It must've been someone's doing." "Mr. Campbell isn't a stupid man. There's no way he'd ask his staff to swap his kid out, right? People probably know what's up."

Danielle's eyes sparkled after I spoke. She said hurriedly, "I've got time. How could I be absent for such an important occasion? It's Mason's parent-teacher conference! After all, Griselda won't be able to go tomorrow. I'll be free. Don't worry, Mrs. Campbell. I'll be on my best behavior!" Her helpless demeanor disappeared. Excitement took over. "Daisy, where would we find a family of such excellent helpers apart from Ms. Jackson and her daughter? We've got to cherish them." Zachary slung an arm around my shoulders as he spoke, peering lovingly into my eyes. I nodded politely. Danielle dressed herself in her best attire the next morning and dragged Mason out the door. However, he groaned when she touched his arm."Ms. Danielle, you're hurting me!" Danielle's expression changed. She asked anxiously, "Mason, what's wrong? Let me take a look!" She yanked his sleeves up and saw a faint bruise on his arm. As though she'd unearthed a scandalous secret, she shrieked, "Oh dear!

Displeasure twisted my features. "Ms. Jackson, I gave the cake to Griselda. Is that how you waste my food?" Polly would walk all over me if I didn't stand my ground as the lady of the house. Her eyes darted to the side. Then, she collapsed before me, trembling. "Mrs. Campbell, I'm sorry. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have stepped on Mason's cake by accident. I'll never do it again. I'm begging you, please don't fire me!" As I was trying to figure out when Polly became so sensitive, I heard someone roar behind me, "Daisy Jameson, you've crossed a line. Ms. Jackson has been working in the family for decades. Are you incapable of offering her even a shred of respect?" Zachary Campbell strode forward and helped Polly up. Then, the two of them brushed past me and left. It was as though he was Polly's son. I'd realized that whenever I showed even the barest modicum of kindness to Griselda, Polly would do her best to school me in front of Zachary. As the children grew up, P

Chapter 1
"Mrs. Campbell, Mason is lactose intolerant. Why do you keep forgetting about this?" The nanny, Polly Jackson, grabbed the milk bottle I had been holding while chewing me out. Ever since I started caring for Mason Campbell, whom she treated like her own grandson, she did nothing but criticize me at every turn. She was more concerned than I was when it came to Mason. Whenever he caught a fever, it was as though the sky had fallen through. Polly would stay awake through the night taking care of him. Armed with the excuse that she had experience raising children, she interfered with how I raised Mason. Polly took over the dressing, feeding, and taking care of Mason all around, simpering about how this would relieve the burden on my shoulders.Polly was a single mom. After claiming that her daughter, Danielle Jackson, had lived a troubled life and experienced nothing but unkindness, Danielle followed in Polly's footsteps and moved into my house. They called my daughter Griselda Ja...
