My Birthday, My Downfall novel Chapter 51

“Police Officer, I’ve told you, the place was an abandoned construction site…”

The police immediately sent people to analyze the scene, and soon, they located the specific location and dispatched a rescue team.

However, when they returned, their faces were filled with disappointment.

“There was no one at the scene, just a pool of blood.”

Upon hearing this, Parker’s mother fainted.

Parker’s father’s pupils dilated, his expression one of disbelief.

Because of the kidnapping case, all three members of the Parker family were suspects, and the police temporarily detained them.

Mia shrank into a corner, the marks from the slap still visible on her face.

Parker’s mother was in a dazed state, muttering Parker Charlotte’s name over and over.

Parker’s father sat wearily on a chair, glaring at Mia.

Mia, unwilling to give up, cautiously began to act spoiled.

“Dad, Mom, my face hurts so much!”

“Dad, you and Mom have loved me so much over the years, never willing to hit me, but tonight, because of my sister, you two hit me so hard! You’ve always said I was your precious darling.”

“Everything you’ve done for me, was it all fake?”

Parker’s father gave a cold laugh.

Yet, because of Parker Charlotte’s disappearance, he was deeply filled with self-blame, his expression complicated.

After a moment of hesitation, he coldly responded to Mia.

“I can’t deny that when we adopted you, we did have selfish motives.”

“You’re beautiful, with great poise. You were the perfect candidate to inherit the Parker family.”

“Your sister Charlotte, because of our neglect when she was younger, suffered burns in a fire. She may not be ugly, but her image has been damaged.”

“But that doesn’t mean we don’t love her!”

“When we adopted you, we thought you would be the face of the family, while your sister would manage the group behind the scenes. One of you would handle the outside world, while the other would manage things at home.”

“Out of guilt for you, we’ve spared no effort in raising and pampering you, but how have you repaid us?”

Parker’s father suddenly stood up, glaring at Mia.

“I warn you, if anything happens to Charlotte, the first person I’ll strangle is you! To me, you are nothing but a substitute for Charlotte!”

These words struck Mia like a heavy hammer to the chest.

The identity she had always been proud of turned out to be nothing more than someone else’s replacement.
