Chapter 1

I grew up as the daughter of the CEO of a renowned fashion group in New York, living in a luxurious Manhattan apartment and enjoying a privileged lifestyle.

However, when there was a call for young people to support the development of the Midwest, I chose to volunteer in a small town with tough conditions for five years.

Five years later, I returned to New York, excited to attend the launch of a new family fashion brand, only to be blindsided.

At the event, my mother, who had always been so loving, announced that Amy, the adopted daughter, was the true heir to the family business.

I was stunned to learn that I was merely a child they had picked up from the streets.

To make matters worse, Jack, my childhood friend and now the general manager of the fashion group, publicly proposed to Amy, abandoning me without a second thought.

Humiliated and laughed at by everyone, I was dragged out by security, left in despair on the cold streets, and ultimately drowned in an accident.

But fate gave me another chance. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day of the brand's launch.

Seeing Amy about to cut the ribbon, fury surged within me, and I rushed forward, striking her down.

"How dare you, a mere beggar, try to steal my spotlight!" I shouted.
