Alice Bell's biological parents are completely submissive to their adopted daughter, Lillian Bell, who is a manipulative schemer. Lillian uses cunning tactics to sow discord between Alice and the Bell family, ultimately severing their relationship. Later, Lillian steals Alice's childhood sweetheart, Nathaniel Carter. Facing setbacks in both love and her career, Alice meets the male lead, Maxwell Carter, the powerful heir of the Carter family and a billionaire. Maxwell gives Alice the confidence she needs, helps her break free from her family's negative influence, and teaches a lesson to everyone who has treated her poorly. This sparks a series of satisfying confrontations and revenge against her detractors.

Chapter 1 Drowning

Alice'POV

During a family gathering, my parents' adopted daughter, Lillian Bell, fell into the lake and nearly drowned. After we called for an ambulance in a panic, everyone assumed I was the one who pushed her in. I was the only one with her at the time, and Lillian and I had never exactly seen eye to eye.

My father slapped me on the spot, berating me in front of all our relatives. My mother, even angrier, kicked open my bedroom door and demanded, "Did you push Lillian into the water?"

The look on her face was fierce, as if she wanted to tear me apart to avenge her adopted daughter. It felt like she was ready to rip me, her own child, to shreds just to vent her frustration over Lillian.

I took off my headphones, too drained to defend myself. "Am I crazy? Why would I push her into the water for no reason? What would I gain from that? Jail?"

"You just want to make Lillian miserable!" My mom pinched me hard a few times and threw everything on the bedside at me. "You have a heart full of malice! How could I have given birth to a daughter like you?"

"You're jealous of how much we love Lillian, so you can't wait for her to fail. You envy her beauty and kindness. You've made so many mistakes growing up, and it was Lillian who always stood up for you!"

I couldn't take it anymore and didn't even want to argue back. "Fine! If you love Lillian so much, can I just leave this family? From now on, I'm not your daughter!"

"Stop right there!" Just as I was about to pack my things and leave, my mother suddenly grabbed me and slapped me hard-twice. "You're going to marry Nathaniel next week. Where do you think you're going?"

"Don't you know your father works for the powerful Carter family? If you cause a scene like this, what will happen to his reputation? You ungrateful daughter!"

I held my cheek, my eyes stinging as if lemon juice had been squeezed into them. "So to you, I'm just a tool, right? My only value is marrying into the Carter family?"

"What else? I had a difficult childbirth with you. Within two months of your birth, your father's stocks and funds plummeted. If we hadn't adopted Lillian, we'd all be ruined because of you."

My mom pointed a finger at me, furious. "You're nothing but a prostitute serving Nathaniel!"

"I've put up with your favoritism toward Lillian my whole life. You treat me like a cash cow, demanding money and forcing Nathaniel to get my dad a job at Carter & Company."

I burst into tears, finally letting all my grievances spill out. "Would you be satisfied if I died and Nathaniel married Lillian?"

My mom sneered. "Honestly, I hope Nathaniel marries Lillian. At least she won't suffer anymore. He's the one who saved her from the mess you caused."

She was right. I still remember the look in Nathaniel's eyes when he rescued Lillian. He thought I was the one who pushed her into the water.

Lillian weakly said, "Don't blame Alice. She... she definitely didn't mean to hurt me on purpose."

After saying that, Lillian completely fainted.

I was at a loss, unable to defend myself. I wanted to explain, reaching for Nathaniel's hand, but he shook me off. My mom glared at me with such intensity it felt like she wanted to tear me apart. "If anything happens to Lillian, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!"

All I could do was murmur, "It wasn't me. It wasn't me." I hadn't touched Lillian at all; she was the one who called out to me first, saying she liked Nathaniel and asking if I could give him to her. I refused her. But then, in the next moment, Lillian fell into the lake on her own.

Before I could react, Nathaniel shoved me aside and knocked me to the ground. He jumped into the lake and gently pulled Lillian out.

"Alice, are you crazy? Do you want to kill your sister?" he yelled at me.

Sister? Lillian is not my sister; she's just the adopted daughter of the Bell family. Somehow, Lillian's status in that family has risen dramatically. My parents treat her words like royal decrees, and even Nathaniel often turns his gaze toward her.

My parents adore Lillian Bell so much that they would go to any lengths to give her the stars and the moon. Meanwhile, I am increasingly sidelined in the Bell family.

Honestly, I have no hostility toward Lillian, even though she's grown more favored. But this isn't the first time she has deliberately framed me. She keeps sowing discord between my parents and me, and I've had enough!

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.
