The Day I Was Replaced

Synopsis

A month earlier, I had watched a TV drama about switched-at-birth heiresses. Half-joking, I had teased my father, asking what he would do if I turned out to be the fake one. He just ruffled my hair, smiling indulgently. "Real or fake, you'll always be my daughter." But today, he had flung a DNA report onto the table and said coldly, "Charlotte, you're not my child. Years ago, the nurse mixed up my daughter at the hospital. Your real parents are waiting outside. Pack your things and leave." Behind my mother stood a girl, Sophie Grant, who looked timid and uneasy. "Mom, Dad, is it really okay to... to kick Charlotte out like this?" My supposed sister, Olivia Grant, shot Sophie a sharp glare. "Are you stupid? She stole your life as a rich girl for all these years, and you're still speaking up for her? What an idiot." And yet, I caught Sophie smirking ever so slightly behind my mother.
