On the day of our engagement, my fiancé, Lucas Bennett, publicly called it off, declaring I was not good enough for him. The next second, I was pinned to the ground, forced to drink boiling water, and branded with a humiliating word. Only later did I learn the truth—this entire nightmare was planned by Lucas and my adoptive mother, Helen Lynn. They feared I would reunite with my real mother and take everything that belonged to the "real heiress", so they destroyed my voice, my career, and my life. But they never knew that I didn't die. And I would never let them push me around again. When I showed up before them again, they finally realized what they had ruined with their own hands was never a substitute, but the real heiress.
