Chapter 1

My husband’s sister burst into the company during our annual gala and slapped me hard across the face, right in front of hundreds of employees.

She pointed a finger at my nose and yelled, “Scarlett, you’re barely good enough to polish my brother’s shoes! Stop putting on a show as the VP here!”

Arthur, my father-in-law and the Chairman, sat beside me, his face thunderous. He was just about to reprimand me for failing to keep the family in line.

But I calmly smoothed my hair and looked at him.

“Dad, haven’t you ever had your doubts all these years? Her behavior, acting like a crazy woman—does that really resemble anyone in our family?”

“I suggest you get a DNA test. Wouldn't want you raising someone else’s daughter for half a lifetime.”

“After all, a true heiress from a prominent family wouldn't throw a public scene like that.”

Seeing her face instantly drain of color, I knew it. Things were about to change around here.

Arthur froze, his gaze turning instantly chilling.

Three days later, the test results came back. Brittany was thrown out the front door like garbage by the security team.
