Exposing the Colleague Who Tried to Steal My Identity

I rushed forward, but just as I did, my phone started ringing.

“Sweetheart, the bag I ordered for you last month has been delivered to your office. Make sure to sign for it!” Before I could respond, my dad hung up in a hurry.

At that moment, an employee from the luxury brand, Diane, approached with a beautifully wrapped gift box and asked, “Excuse me, are you Miss Anderson from Anderson Corporation?”

I nodded and reached out to take the box, but a hand suddenly shoved me aside.

“Miss Anderson, they’re asking for the heiress of Anderson Corporation. What does this have to do with you?”

Lily stood there smugly, facing the employee, and gestured for him to hand the bag to her.

The employee, clearly caught off guard by the situation, hesitated before cautiously asking again, “Which one of you is Miss Anderson?”

Lily rolled her eyes and snapped, “Are you blind? I’m Miss Anderson! Now hurry up and give me the bag!”

After dismissing the employee, Lily eagerly started to open the box. Quickly, I came up with a plan and stepped forward to stop her.

“This is my property. If you open it without my permission and cause any damage, you’ll be responsible for the full cost.”

Lily burst into laughter, as if I had just told the most absurd joke she had ever heard.

“Are you seriously this delusional? Do you actually believe you’re the heiress? Didn’t you just say I’d have to pay for damages? Fine, watch this. Let’s see what you, a fake, can do about it.”

With that, Lily grabbed a utility knife from the table and slashed several deep cuts into the custom Diane bag.

Seeing my plan come together, I calmly dialed my dad’s number.

“Dad, there’s someone here claiming to be your long-lost daughter and the heiress of Anderson Corporation. Can you come over and deal with this?”

For a brief moment, panic flickered across Lily’s face, but she quickly pulled out her own phone and made a call.

“Daddy, there’s some shameless nobody here pretending to be me! Hurry and come help your little girl!”

The man on the other end responded eagerly, threatening to teach me a lesson.

I couldn’t help but feel more curious about who Lily’s so-called father was.

Watching her act so confidently, I had a fleeting moment of doubt. Could she really be my dad’s illegitimate daughter? How else would she have gotten a necklace identical to mine before I did?

The questions swirled in my mind, making the wait feel excruciatingly long.

Meanwhile, I watched James fawning over Lily, catering to her every whim, and I couldn’t help but find it pathetic.

I couldn’t believe the man I once cared for was nothing more than a shallow, opportunistic fool. And to think I had actually believed we were in love.
