Chapter 1Reborn as the Hidden Heiress-From Outcast to Adored

I Woke up in a novel where everyone loves the heroine

A business tycoon for the eldest brother, a medical genius for the second, and a Hollywood star for the third.

I thought I was the beloved heroine.

But it turns out... I'm just a side character?

Wait, why are my brothers doting on me every day?

Could it be... I'm actually the real heiress?

I found myself transported into a popular online novel where the heroine is loved by everyone. My parents were wealthy and pampered me with the best of everything.

I thought I could just sit back and enjoy the easy life, but then one day, a woman showed up claiming to be the real daughter. She pointed at me, accusing me of being an imposter, and demanded a DNA test.

The kicker? My so-called parents actually believed her and agreed to the test!

Great, so I really am the fake one.

What the hell?

Then it hit me - I remembered the title of this book: "All the CEOs Love Me: The True and False Heiress"!

Oh God, I only read the beginning of this story because it was too ridiculous to continue.

So I'm actually the fake heiress!

This is not how it's supposed to go...

"Mom, Dad, I've missed you so much..." I sat to the side, watching as the "real daughter" Chloe Winters cried her eyes out, constantly throwing herself at her mother while recounting all the hardships she'd endured over the years.

"Life in the orphanage was so hard! sob If only..." She glanced at me, her eyes full of resentment, but her tone unchanged, still dripping with pathos that would melt anyone's heart. "If only you hadn't picked up the wrong baby back then... But I don't blame you. I'm just so happy to have found you. I'll get along well with my sister from now on."

The two quickly embraced, crying together. Her mother kept apologizing and promising to make it up to her.

Before I knew it...

I felt like I'd been hit by a truck.

Watching the mother and daughter bond like they'd never been apart, I quietly slipped out to clear my head.

Little did I know, when I returned, my adoptive parents' attitude had completely changed.

"Aria, what your birth parents did was utterly selfish! To think my daughter was left to suffer for so many years because of them."

Huh?

I glanced at Chloe smirking behind them, and I had a pretty good idea of what had happened.

They were blaming my birth parents, weren't they?

I wasn't sure how the plot would develop from here, so I just listened quietly.

My adoptive mother steeled herself and waved her hand dismissively. "We've been mother and daughter for so many years, so let's just leave it at that. I'll contact your birth parents to come pick you up."

I understood, so I sincerely thanked these adoptive parents and volunteered to leave on my own.

Unexpectedly, my calm acceptance gave Chloe an opportunity to further manipulate the situation. She started poisoning my adoptive parents' minds with veiled comments, saying I was just like my birth parents - heartless and ungrateful.

Sure enough, my adoptive mother got even angrier and immediately had someone contact my birth parents.

Me: ...
