The True Lycan Daughter's Return

The late autumn wind, cold and biting, pierced through Bailey's thin clothes. It seemed to tug at her tired body as she made her way home, only to be shocked by what she saw in front of her.

Strangers were gathered around the door of the house, frantically moving things around.

A tall and lanky soldier told Bailey that her family's house had been resold, that her parents had moved out, and that at that moment, they had packed their bags and were ready to drive away.

Bailey just felt her mind go blank and she ran out the door without thinking much.

When she got outside, Bailey saw the familiar sedan pull up to the curb, as if it had been waiting for her. At that moment, the car door opened and Bailey's father, Harland, got out and walked towards her.

"Bailey, this might be the last time we see each other. We're moving away, and you're going back to your birth parents," his tone was filled with dismay.

Harland's mind drifted back to three months ago, when he was in urgent need of blood and Bailey donated blood to him. Only then did they find out that the two of them weren't related.

This discovery shocked everyone.

After recovering from his illness, Harland finally found his real daughter, Chloe, after many attempts.

Now, the Harland family had traded for a better house for Chloe, and Bailey, the child who wasn't related to them, was naturally left on her own.

"The police found us yesterday and said that it was your real mother, and they're going to take you back today," Harland patted Bailey's shoulder with mixed feelings. "If you want anything else, just ask. Just... when you get there."

Harland had learned from the police that Bailey's birth mother's family was in a really bad situation.

They lived in a dilapidated and rundown area.

The people there lived right next to a stinking sewer that reeked of decay. There, having a house was a luxury, and Bailey's birth mother's family was crammed into a rickety little boat.

All year round, several people huddled in that small and cramped boat to eat and sleep. As for using the toilet, they could only do it directly in the river.

Over there, not to mention wearing designer clothes and going to a prestigious school, even getting a decent meal was a problem.

Bailey stood in front of Harland. It seemed that she could read his mind, and there was not a single ripple of emotion in her clear eyes.

She said calmly to Harland, "Are we done here? I'm leaving."

She turned to leave, her back showing determination, as if she had no attachment to this home at all.

Victoria was immediately annoyed. "This ungrateful girl doesn't even appreciate you. All these years, you've spoiled her! She even had the nerve to dance with Chloe's boyfriend at the ball and steal Chloe's man."

As everyone knew, that boy was Bailey's boyfriend.

But after Chloe was brought back by Harland, the boy rejected Bailey because she was no longer the Alpha's daughter.

Bailey danced with him not realizing that they had been together for a long time. She was clearly betrayed but was instead seen as the other woman.

"He's such a great Alpha's son. He's really good to me now. I know my sister has always liked him, and I hope you'll give us your blessing," it was Chloe who spoke. It had been a month since she was picked up from the Moonlight Pack.

Bailey looked at her with a hint of sarcasm and asked back with a blank expression, "Who said I liked him?"

Chloe was stunned for a moment. She had expected Bailey to be so heartbroken by the news that she would burst into tears on the spot.

Bailey gave her a disdainful look and said coldly, "If there's something wrong with your eyes, go see a doctor. The people you think are so precious are worthless in my eyes."

Huh? What did she just say?

Chloe wanted to get angry, but with Harland and Victoria there, she had to swallow her anger.

Yesterday, she had overheard her parents talking. Just thinking about a future where Bailey would live with people worse than bums gave her a sense of superiority. She couldn't help but say, "Bailey, I know you don't want to go back to that slum area, and you must be really struggling right now, aren't you?"

Chloe took an envelope out of her backpack and handed it to Bailey. "Here's $500. I heard that the conditions there are really bad. I would have prepared more cash for you, but I heard that the people there are generally not very trustworthy, and there are especially a lot of thieves and robbers... It's not safe for you to carry too much money with you."

Chloe's eyes were full of anticipation, but she couldn't hide the smugness and arrogance in her tone. "Five hundred dollars means nothing to me, and you need it more than I do! Take it!"

Victoria was unhappy. "You silly girl, her situation is like a bottomless pit. Even $10,000 wouldn't be enough to fix it."

Bailey gave a faint smile. What, did they think they could humiliate her with this little bit of money?

She didn't care at all.

During the floods a week ago, she didn't hesitate to rush into the rushing water to try to save Chloe.

By the time the rescuers found them, Chloe was frozen unconscious, on the verge of death and in a deep coma.

When Victoria and her family arrived at the makeshift shelter, they rushed straight to Chloe to try to save her, not even glancing at Bailey, who was in a life-threatening situation.

Bailey was lying on the floor in a daze, feeling only cold in her hands and feet. But what made her feel even colder was the conversation between Victoria and Harland-

"She hasn't woken up in three days. She's probably going to die."

"It's better this way. If she's dead, we can focus on taking care of Chloe and save ourselves a lot of trouble."

Bailey, who was in a coma at that time, heard this, and the last glimmer of hope she had for this family completely vanished.

Bailey didn't even look at the $500. She turned around and was about to leave when Chloe took Bailey's hand and forced the envelope into her hand, ignoring her previous doubts. "Sister, take it."

But as her hand just touched Bailey's backpack...

Next.

To everyone's surprise.

A diamond necklace unexpectedly fell out of Bailey's backpack!

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

Chloe couldn't help but cover her mouth. "How could this be... Isn't this Grandma's heirloom? Why is it in your bag?!"

"Harland, look. Bailey had the nerve to take Grandma's necklace as she was leaving," Victoria shouted hurriedly. "I never realized that after all these years, we raised a thankless person!"

Harland was also stunned. "What's going on?"

Bailey realized that they were falsely accusing her of stealing.

Sure enough, Chloe's face was filled with dissatisfaction and a feigned look of pain. "Bailey, that's Grandma's legacy. When did you become so greedy?"

She paused and then thought she was making a generous offer. "Hurry up and bow down to Mom and Dad and admit that you were wrong, and I can try to persuade them to keep you."

"Chloe, don't talk to her. Even if she cries and begs us, we won't keep her now!" Victoria was furious. "And she's definitely not taking anything from this house!"

Chloe then said kindly, "Sister, I know you took this necklace for your future. But, after all, this is a heirloom from Grandma... How about this? I'll transfer some more money to you. Is $1,000 enough?"

The implication of her words was clearly that Bailey had stolen the necklace to sell for money.

A few of the servants around couldn't help but speak up:

"Bailey is so ungrateful! This necklace is worth tens of millions of dollars!"

"Bailey shouldn't take Grandma's heirloom no matter how short of money she is, and the necklace should be returned to Chloe. Bailey isn't even part of the Moonlight Pack anymore."

"All the money we've spent on Bailey over the years didn't seem to matter to her, and Chloe even gave her an extra $500. Chloe is really too kind!"

The people around them praised Chloe and couldn't help but compare the two sisters.

The more they compared, the more they thought that Bailey was inferior to Chloe in every way!

Other than being better looking, Bailey really couldn't compare to Chloe!

Victoria snatched the necklace from Bailey's hand and said, "We've done our best to raise you all these years! This necklace belongs to our family. Don't even think about it! Before I call the police, get out of here as far as you can!"
