Chapter 1: The Outcast plot twist
Lila read a book.
The cannon fodder female character who shared her name was a false heiress of the wealthy Ashton Family.
After the real heiress reclaimed her position, in order to stay within the wealthy circles, she did not hesitate to drug the eldest brother of the family, Ashton Richard, to make the cooked rice turn raw, only to be detested by the Ashton Family and ruthlessly brought back to her original status, eventually committing suicide in despair.
Seeing this ending, Lila was halfway to furious. How could living without the wealthy circles be so intolerable? Hadn't the family given her a mansion and countless luxuries? Just selling those off could fetch tens of millions. She was utterly unfixable!
If she were the Lila in the book, she would have long since stepped down gracefully and enjoyed life without a care!
And then, after waking from a sleep, Lila really transmigrated into the book!!!
Moreover, she transmigrated right at the point where she was to drug Ashton Richard, the eldest brother of the wealthy family.
EXM???
Staring at the orange juice with the drug in her hand, Lila chose to change the plot.
But just as she turned around, a low and indifferent male voice came from behind her.
"Is there a problem?"
"Uh..." Lila resigned herself to turn her head, her eyes fluttering, not daring to look directly at the man in front of her, "Good evening, big brother. I was just taking a walk, happened to pass by the door of your room. Are you going out? Sorry for blocking your way."
Having said that, Lila stepped aside.
Ashton Richard gave her a glance and furrowed his brows.
Wandering around late at night right to his room's door?
However, he and Lila, his adopted daughter, had never really interacted much.
He walked downstairs without another word.
Watching his retreating figure, Lila immediately let out a sigh of relief.
And couldn't help thinking in her heart, [Thank goodness Richard (the eldest brother and head of the younger household generation) is an ice block.]
Richard: ...???
He hadn't even gone far when she started saying bad things about him behind his back?
Richard turned around with a cold face, but what he saw was Lila's ingratiating smile.
However, he heard Lila's voice again at the same time!
[Ah ah ah, why did he suddenly turn back, scare me to death!]
But this time, Richard clearly saw that Lila's lips didn't move at all, she still maintained that smiling face.
What he had just heard seemed more like her inner thoughts!
Richard's brows knitted even tighter, was it because he had worked overtime too long and was now hallucinating?
Lila, on the other hand, didn't dare to look at him, and ran off in the opposite direction with the orange juice.
With her mind preoccupied, Lila wasn't watching where she was going and bumped straight into an elegantly dressed woman in a qipao with a superb temperament.
Chloe Lee's delicate brows furrowed slightly after the collision: "Lila, what are you thinking about? How can you walk without looking?"
Only then did Lila come back to her senses.
It was then that she realized the woman standing in front of her at this moment was none other than her adoptive mother, Chloe Lee.
Lila had been adopted by the Ashton Family when she was eleven years old, and until she was eighteen, she had been the only daughter in the family, deeply beloved by Chloe Lee.
It wasn't until her birthday party that this exclusive favoritism was disrupted.
The true daughter of the Ashton Family who had been cast out for ten years came back.
To make it up to their biological daughter, Ashton David and Chloe Lee showered her with a lot of love.
All of this was actually quite normal, and Chloe Lee had not abandoned the original girl because of it. It's just a pity the original girl was too greedy, always competing with the real heiress for affection, and eventually doomed herself.
But now that Lila had taken over everything of the original body, of course, she wouldn't make the same mistakes.
She immediately apologized to Chloe Lee, "Sorry, Mom, I had a couple too many drinks at the party and got a bit dizzy, so I went down for a glass of juice."
Lila called her "mom" out loud, but she still couldn't bring herself to mean it.
After all, she did have a mom, but just in another world.
But that didn't prevent her from genuinely admiring Chloe Lee in her heart.
[Ms. Lee looks really beautiful today, saying she's in her thirties isn't an overstatement at all, so beautiful!]
Chloe Lee furrowed her brows.
She thought she was imagining things.
Because she heard Lila's voice complimenting her beauty, saying she looked like she was in her thirties. But in reality, she was already fifty.
What was going on? Was she drunk?
Chloe Lee shook her head and looked back at Lila, only to find that she couldn't hear that strange voice anymore.
Now she could confirm that she was indeed hearing things.
Today was her birthday, and she had overindulged in a moment of weakness at the party.
Besides, why would Lila call her Ms. Lee? She had always called her "mom".
Thinking of this, Chloe Lee nodded and said, "If you've drunk too much, go back to your room and rest early. Get up early tomorrow, and don't forget to report to the company with your dad and the others."
"Uh..." Working at a company wasn't something Lila was really interested in. It was the original host who, seeing the real heiress being placed in Ashton Group, also clamored to go to work.
However, Chloe Lee didn't seem to be feeling well at the moment, so Lila didn't intend to be annoying by holding onto her unwillingly.
It wouldn't be too late to talk about this after everyone had a good rest tomorrow morning.
Back in her original room, Lila immediately began to pack her luggage.
She was now 22 years old, had graduated from college, and was fully justified in moving out of the Ashton Family's villa. There was no need to stay and be a burden to the family, hindering the Ashton parents from reuniting with their biological daughter.
While busily sorting through the original girl's electronics, the phone on the bed suddenly beeped twice.
She picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from someone the original had labeled as Jenny Bright.
According to the memories of the original, Jenny Bright was her only friend in the wealthy circles, and also her best friend.
After unlocking the phone with a fingerprint, Lila saw the content Jenny Bright had sent.
'How did it go, Lila, did you succeed? Did you sleep with Richard?'
'Don't forget to take some photos, a video would be better, remember you want it from a more intimate angle'
