All Chapters of They Read My Mind: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Alicia noticed the unusually tense atmosphere downstairs and smiled faintly, moving in as if to hug me."So, this is my little sister. Welcome home," she said warmly, her tone light and cheerful.As she spoke, she flitted toward me like a butterfly, aiming to throw herself into my arms.Instinctively, I sidestepped.'Good thing I moved fast,' I thought. 'If I hadn't dodged, that needle in her hand would've ended up in me. And knowing myself, I'd have reacted without thinking and shoved her back. Then, the family would've accused me of bullying her over my so-called grudge about our backgrounds. That would've sealed my fate—setting the stage for me to be kicked out of this house down the road.''Such a schemer! She must've been some devious old hag reincarnated in her past life!'Alicia froze mid-pounce, her expression briefly stuck in an awkward grimace before she lost her balance and fell on the dining table. A mess of soup and drinks spilled all over her, soaking her from head

The entire family suddenly turned their heads, their piercing gazes fixed on me. Caught off guard by the five pairs of eyes staring straight at me, I flinched, then quickly acted as though nothing had happened and quietly returned to my seat. "My dear Yunice, is everything okay now?" my dad asked casually. 'What the heck? Why is he suddenly interested in my bathroom breaks?''Anyway, with all the evidence locked in, there's no way Dory is getting out of this one. That girl who got rescued—her body was completely covered in bruises and scars. She's been through so much.''Speaking of which, that girl happens to be Alicia's younger schoolmate. Can you believe it? Alicia knew about Dory's twisted preferences and still sent her younger schoolmate, who was just looking for a tutoring gig, straight into Dory's hands. It's like feeding a lamb to the wolves!''Alicia, you're absolutely despicable!' I exclaimed inwardly."Impossible!" Harvey suddenly snapped, glaring at me with barely

He was indeed a handsome guy I fell for at first glance.He was Donald Winner, the sole heir of the prominent Winner Family in Japris. He was the kind of man who casually stepped into the entertainment industry for fun and ended up snagging multiple Best Actor awards. He had countless fans and was a man at the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. As soon as Alicia saw him, her eyes lit up. Completely ignoring the scowl on her male lead fiance Jeremy's face, she shamelessly clung to Donald like a moth to a flame.While the director droned on about the lengthy rules, I kept my head down, counting ants on the ground as my thoughts wandered.'Names really do matter. Look at Donald Winner. "'Winner" means "someone who has won," and it's like he was born with a winning hand. That face, that family background—he was destined to come out on top. Then there's me. Yunice Stone. And boy, have I lived up to it. I didn't enjoy a single day of the Stone Family's wealth and still ended up sad

The show had barely been running for ten minutes when three staff members abruptly quit.The remaining crew flat-out refused to take over as director. Finally, one of the assistant producers stepped up and shouted, "We don't have a script! Just focus on being authentic and natural. Guests, feel free to do your thing!"Then, like a gust of wind, he disappeared without a trace.The guests exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. The silence was so heavy.I sniffed the air instinctively. Was that…the same resigned energy I was giving off? Could it be that everyone here had already decided the show was a lost cause and collectively chosen to give up?Angela leaned in closer to me and whispered, "Yunice, whatever you want to do, I'm with you."My gaze wandered toward the kitchen. "Food. I'm starving."It was past noon, yet no one had bothered to mention lunch!Alicia and Jeremy were still sulking at each other. Angela and Henry? They had barely washed a vegetable in their lives.Th

I looked at the crowd of people crowded together on the dark stairs at midnight, and I found myself at a loss for words. Even Harvey had one leg wrapped in bandages and was awkwardly balanced on crutches."What are you all doing here?" I finally asked.Natalie, holding up a selfie stick with her phone mounted on top, pressed a finger to her lips. Her whisper was almost conspiratorial. "Shh! Yunice, we're here to find William."Next to her, my dad, Thomas, had one fist pressed against his mouth, attempting to look calm, but the way he crouched awkwardly betrayed his true state of mind. He leaned in with an exaggerated whisper as if this were some top-secret mission. "My dear Yunice, I've got a tip-off. That shameless Alicia was released due to insufficient evidence about her drugging scheme. She's planning to sneak in tonight with a spare key she's hidden away and defile William. Quietly now, we don't want to scare her off."Jimmy balanced Harvey on his arm while simultaneously
