Chapter 504 You Stole My Life

࿄$3, 73%#

“You stole my life!” Those were the words Heidi repeated with anguish. It was as if she was finding redemption in a glimmer of hope amidst despair.

How could such a horrible life and that horrible family belong to her? At last, she could now leave without guilt and be far away from that monstrous mother of hers.

Her sudden outcry not only left those before her stunned on the spot. The lights in the quiet old mansion began to gradually flicker on, one after another.

After all, in the dead of the night like this, such noise could easily fill the air and wake everyone up.

Hansel and Astrid were the first to rush out after hearing their beloved daughter’s name being mentioned.

Seeing their daughter scared to the point of turning pale, they immediately went up, held her, and started to soothe her.

Upon witnessing this scene, Heidi couldn’t stop the tears from streaming down her face. She wanted to step forward and push Tabitha away, but a frowning Alfred stopped her.

Naturally, he was in utter disbelief and suspected that this girl in front of him must have gone mad with her desire to become the young lady of the house.

“Mom, Dad, look at me. I’m your real daughter! Petra swapped her child with yours. Tabitha is her daughter!”

This time, the words were said right in front of Hansel and Astrid, and the words immediately left them stunned.

*What on earth are you babbling about?” Hansel demanded sternly.

Astrid remained silent as she held the bewildered Tabitha tightly, her gaze fixed intently on Heidi.

The latter young woman’s crying worsened. Now, it looked as if she was the one who had come to tear this family apart.

“No, you have to believe me. I just overheard the truth tonight. She swapped us when you were both in the hospital together all those years ago just so her own daughter could live the life of a wealthy young lady! Just think about it: hasn’t she always been nicer to Tabitha than she is to me? Why would she treat me this way if I were her real daughter?”

These words made the astute Hansel’s eyes flash, causing a slight jolt in his heart. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Yet, he still instinctively resisted the intruder.

“That doesn’t necessarily prove-”

“A DNA test! We have to do a DNA test. I heard their plans with my own ears. If it’s all a lie, then I’ll accept my fate, but what if it’s true? Are you really going to accept that fraud’s daughter as your own while casting out your flesh and blood? Think about it! If it all turns out to be true,

then my life… my fife has been completely ruined by her mother! Do you have any idea what kind of life I’ve been living in that house?”

Heidi brushed her hair aside before rolling up her sleeves and pant legs.

Chapter 504 You Stole My Life

At this point, a considerable number of people had already gathered.

This included both Isabella and Alexander.

Isabella stared at everything unfolding before her in disbelief. She hadn’t expected the secret she had only learned a few hours ago to be exposed so quickly. She had even considered suggesting to Alexander to secretly verify everything before bringing the matter up, given that she wasn’t one to take risks lightly.

But still, even if I know she’s telling nothing but the truth…

Even if Alex and I don’t have to get involved anymore… Why did she start off like this?

Isabella looked toward Tabitha, noticing how ashen the girl had become. It was apparent that she had been affected and was beginning to doubt herself.

Hansel’s and Astrid’s expressions were even more indescribable, with the latter shaking all over.

Meanwhile, the bruises on Heidi’s body were clearly recent, indicating that she had been beaten as soon as she left the Quirk manor and returned home. Her body’s condition showed not only these

injuries but also evident signs of previous abuse. The sight of this left Isabella breathless.

If this were indeed a case of being swapped at birth, Heidi’s life sure was tragic.

“They abused me all these years. They treated me terribly and even denied me an education. With no other option, I asked Tabitha for help–but looking back now, I find it hilarious.”

Tabitha felt stiff under Heidi’s gaze, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. She instinctively shook her head in denial, unable to accept the reality that the parents she loved most had instantly become someone else’s.

Heidi defiantly stared at Hansel and Astrid. “Petra’s husband is even planning to marry me off to an old bachelor in exchange for a betrothal gift, and Petra’s agreed to it because he knows the secret about the swap. Would she be this cruel and heartless if I were her biological daughter? It’s because I’m your daughter that she treats me like this. If it were Tabitha, her real daughter, she would never do such a thing!”
