“So what if she is? Didn’t you hear Mr. Lawson Senior? An Impostor will always be an impostor. There’s only one true daughter of the Fuller family!” one of the guests said. 

“Well, this is going to be quite a show! The adopted daughter desperately pursues a marriage while the real daughter rejects it vehemently. Isn’t this a case of same person, different fates“?” 

The mocking and derisive gazes felt like sharp swords piercing Kayla’s heart. All her pride and self- esteem had turned into a joke at that moment. Unable to take it any longer, she burst into tears and ran outside. 

Seeing that, Dexter and Myra grew anxious, worried that Kayla might do something foolish in her distress. They could only turn to Matthew and say, “Let’s discuss the marriage later. We’re not mentally prepared

If Matthew had come to propose to Kayla, it would have been a happy occasion. However, he had come for Felicia. Myra frowned, feeling rather conflicted. 

Matthew nodded. Before leaving, he glanced at Felicia with a determined look and asked, “Do you still like the gifts I sent over yesterday?”

Her cries echoed throughout the villa. 

“When we found Ms. Kayla, she was about to jump into the pond,” one of the maids reported. “Luckily, we saved her just in time, or the outcome would have been unimaginable!” 

Myra’s heart ached. 

That night, Dexter and Myra took turns comforting Kayla, terrified that she might do something to harm. herself again in the blink of an eye. 

Kayla cried the entire night, her eyes swollen and her voice hoarse. She clung to Myra’s hand, nearly pleading, “Mom, I won’t compete with Felicia for anything! I’m an impostor. I shouldn’t ask for too much. I know my place! But Mom, just consider it my plea this time. I really like Arnie…“. 

Kayla cried herself to sleep. 

Dexter and Myra didn’t leave her room until dawn. In the hallway, Myra wiped her tears, her tone filled
