Face-Slapping the Whimpering False Heiress

: Rebirth

2

Now, I've been reborn.

I decided that in this life, I would no longer yearn for the bonds of family.

The tragedies of my past life—this time, they can all just back off!

I, Gia Crestwell, am The True Heiress. No one is taking what's mine.

As expected, the moment I arrived at the Crestwell home, I ran into The False Heiress.

She was in Mrs. Crestwell's arms, and as soon as she saw me walk in, tears started rolling down her little face again.

"Mom..."

"Mom, so this is my sister, Chloe? Why is she crying? Is she not happy that I'm back?"

'The most powerful trick in a green tea's playbook is making herself the center of attention.'

'So I'll beat her to the punch and seize the advantage.'

I remembered how in my past life, she had deliberately cried the moment I walked in, sobbing as she spoke.

"You're back, big sister. I'm sorry. If you don't want me to stay, I'll leave."

"Big sister, it was my birth mother who had you switched, not me. Please don't be so unwelcoming."

The result was that I had barely set foot in the house before I was branded with the crime of bullying my sister.

Now, hearing me say those words first, The False Heiress froze, seemingly unable to believe the tables had turned like this.

"That's not what I meant, big sister. It's not like that."

With that, she put on an innocent look and threw herself back into Mrs. Crestwell's arms.

Mrs. Crestwell looked extremely troubled. She stared at me, wanting to speak but holding back.

After what felt like an eternity, the awkward atmosphere was making me drowsy.

Finally, Mrs. Crestwell seemed to find an excuse and quickly said,

"Gia, don't be scared. Chloe didn't mean it like that. It's all a misunderstanding. She's just afraid..."

She trailed off, but everyone present knew what she was going to say.

Leo Crestwell must have sensed how awkward things were, because he cut in decisively.

"Mom, has Mrs. Stone finished with dinner? Why don't we eat and talk?"

"Yes, yes."

Mrs. Crestwell stood up. Although she took my hand, The False Heiress was right behind her.

On the way to the dining room, she would deliberately block my view whenever I tried to look over, as if she were afraid I was going to bully her.
