Switched at Birth… or So She Thought Chapter 5
"It serves her right!" Trevor exclaimed the moment he heard the news. Then, he addressed Pamela, "Don't feel bad, Pammy. After everything she did to you, this is exactly what she deserves!"A wave of bitterness surged through me as I watched the two of them embrace. I couldn't believe that he was the man I had loved for eight years. How had I never noticed his hypocrisy before?Just days ago, he whispered sweet nothings to me. Yet, he was hurling insults at me that day. It was as if he had become a completely different person.And it was all because I might not be the heiress of Crawford Group. How absurd! Still, I composed myself. Whatever the outcome was, I would accept it. After all, I had gained something far more valuable than wealth over the years—knowledge. Even without the Crawfords, I believed I could still build something from nothing. …There was still one more day before the DNA test results were released. However, Shane would not be back from abroad until then.

"Don't worry about me. This is just how I am. I cry easily. You'll get used to it," Pamela continued, her smile restrained. "I've never had a birthday celebration. Not once in my life. "Back home, my adoptive mother always made sure that Cotton ate first. If there was anything left after it was done, then maybe… I'd get a bite."Her voice wavered as she explained, "Cotton was the family dog. My adoptive mother adored it and treated it like a son."Her words sent a ripple through the room. Sympathy flickered in everyone's gazes before they quickly spoke up to comfort her. Trevor, on the other hand, looked stricken. He strode over and pulled Pamela into a tight embrace in a flash, murmuring something into her ear.Then, suddenly, his head snapped up. His gaze locked onto me, sharp and furious."Lorelai Crawford! You did this on purpose, didn't you?" he snarled. "Have you no shame? Pammy didn't complain about you being here, yet you took advantage of her kindness. "I can't belie

Trevor, who was nearby, couldn't take it anymore. He said, "There's no need to wait for the DNA test results. Just pretend none of this ever happened.""Shane," he continued. "Pamela is your biological sister. How can you say something so harsh and hurt her like this?"You have no idea how much she has suffered all these years. That's why she's so sensitive. After everything she's been through, she finally found her family. Do you really want to push her to the brink?"The people around them gathered, murmuring as they comforted Pamela. Some handed her tissues, while others gently patted her back. It took a long time, but eventually, she calmed down.At that moment, my mother pulled out her phone, played a video, and handed the device to Shane. "Shane, do you remember seeing someone switch Lorelai at the hospital when you were young?" she asked. Shane stared blankly at the boy following the maternity nurse in the video, clearly confused. He dug through his memories before final
Switched at Birth… or So She Thought Chapter 8
Pamela's voice turned sharp, laced with fury and despair. At the same time, her eyes burned with resentment as she glared at us. It was evident that she refused to accept the truth. Beside her, Trevor stood rooted to the spot, suspicion etched across his features. His expression made it clear that he wasn't buying Shane's story either.But this time, he didn't speak up for Pamela as he had before. Instead, he stood in silence with his brow furrowed. At that moment, my father's phone rang in his pocket. He pulled it out, only to realize that it was a message from the hospital where my mother had given birth to me. The truth was, as soon as Pamela had claimed we were switched at birth, my father had already reached out to the hospital. He had instructed them to retrieve the surveillance footage from all those years ago to uncover what really happened.His fingers trembled as he tapped the screen, his gaze clouded with nervous anticipation. He then slowly opened the chat and playe

Pamela continued shouting, "If I'm not your daughter, then whose child am I? Tabitha was so cruel to me! How could she possibly be my real mother? "If I'd known that it would end up like this, I never would've let her die so soon! I should have let her see who her daughter really was!"We couldn't stand to listen to Pamela's ramblings any longer. So, everyone rose to their feet, preparing to leave.The sight of this sent Pamela into a panic. She scrambled to her feet and lunged at Trevor, throwing her arms around his legs. "Trevor, don't leave me! You're all I have left. Please, don't abandon me!" she wailed. By now, her voice was hoarse from how worked up she was.Yet, Trevor showed no mercy. A flicker of disdain crossed his face as he shoved her aside. Pamela stumbled and fell to the ground, but he didn't even glance at her. Instead, he strode toward me and dropped to his knees with a thud. "Lori, I was wrong. I was deceived by that bitch. Please, forgive me, will you?"

I stood still, watching his pathetic act with indifference. I couldn't help but recall all the times I had brought up marriage in the past. Back then, Trevor would always use his career as an excuse, insisting he couldn't think about settling down until he had achieved success. I had been so naive and foolish. I actually believed his ambition was admirable. I even convinced myself that he was someone to be respected and that a future with him was something to look forward to.But now, the truth was plain to see.What good was love if it came too late? Besides, Trevor's so-called devotion had never been genuine in the first place.He didn't love me. What he loved was the status, the wealth, and the power that came with me. All I felt was utter disappointment. I couldn't even be bothered to speak to him. I immediately motioned for security. My expression remained blank as I watched them throw Trevor out, flowers and all. While scrambling to get up, he called my name over and

I had just stepped into the office restroom when I ran into Pamela Jones, the new janitor. As soon as she saw me, her gaze dropped to the hand I was using to reapply my lipstick. "I never would've guessed that someone of your status would use something so cheap," Pamela commented, her tone dripping with mockery. "Ms. Crawford, that lipstick of yours costs 19.90 dollars for three and comes with a gift box."I was taken aback. That was impossible. This was the lipstick my boyfriend, Trevor Freeman, had bought for me. He had told me that it was an exclusive brand and that three of them cost 200 dollars.Pamela seemed to realize she had crossed a line when she noticed the change in my expression. She then quickly turned and walked away. …The moment I emerged from the restroom, I came face to face with Willow Shaw. Her face twisted with fury as she stood by the Mother and Baby Care Room door. I had never seen her so angry before, so I quietly asked her what had happened.In a

I stared at Trevor and Pamela, who were still tangled together in such an intimate position. Something was off, so I cleared my throat loudly. Suddenly, Trevor snapped back to reality and shoved Pamela aside. "Lorelai, I was just helping her with the button. I didn't mean to—"Before he could finish his sentence, I cut him off. "That's enough. Go make me a cup of coffee." Years of knowing Trevor had taught me exactly what kind of man he was. It was clear that Pamela, the scheming woman, was behind all of this.Hence, I figured that it was the perfect chance to talk to her alone and get to the bottom of it all. But to my surprise, Pamela scrambled to her feet. With a pained expression, she rushed ahead of Trevor and said, "Ms. Crawford, let me get the coffee for you."With that, she disappeared out of the office. Moments later, she returned with a cup in her hands. I could tell that it was instant coffee from how quickly she returned. Since I only drank freshly brewed ones,

All eyes were on Tabitha in the video, so no one seemed to notice the young boy trailing behind her. Meanwhile, Pamela broke down. "Why are you changing the subject, Lori? Does it really matter who the boy is? I've suffered so much because of you! Don't you feel the least bit guilty?"Alarmed by her distress, Trevor stepped forward, pulling her into his arms as he glared at me."Lorelai, you're so stubborn! How can you not feel ashamed?" he barked. "The issue isn't about the boy. It's that you and Pamela were switched at birth! You've been living the life she was meant to have while she's been suffering in your place!"Trevor's outburst set off a wave of mocking remarks from the shareholders."Lorelai, we've known you since you were a kid. We've always thought that you were level-headed. Otherwise, we wouldn't have supported you as vice president. But today, you've let us all down," one of them commented.Another chimed in, "Not only are you refusing to take a stand at such a cr

Right then, the door to Trevor's office creaked open. Then, I watched as my parents entered, followed by a group of shareholders. My father was the first to speak. "Trevor, you said that there was something urgent. What's going on?""Yeah. What could be so serious that it threatens the survival of Crawford Group?" my mother added.Trevor shot me a glance before answering, "Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, if you hadn't shown up, the company would have fallen into the hands of an outsider."Startled, the shareholders turned to me, eager for an explanation. Yet, all I could offer was a wry smile and a helpless shake of my head. I was just as lost as they were.At that moment, Pamela approached my parents before dropping to her knees with a heavy thud. "Dad! Mom!" she cried out. My parents were momentarily stunned. They then instinctively took a step back. My father pointed at Pamela, his voice sharp as he questioned, "Who are you? I've never done anything to betray my wife! Lorelai and S
