Your dads whole business only exists because he begged my dad for funding .
Ask him if he dares interfere with my familys business .
Brittany , humiliated in front of everyone , couldnt take it .
She went to slap me .
I grabbed her wrist and slapped her across the face , hard .
Her face twisted with rage , her chin trembling .
You … you little bastard ! How dare you hit me ? < Amanda looked around , then screamed , Security ? Where are you guys ? The security guards started to move , but I turned and glared at them , a look so sharp they froze in their tracks .
Im Katherine Blackwood .
Nobody lays a hand on me .
Amanda shrieked , afraid someone might believe me .
Katherine , everyone knows youre just an orphan my parents took in ! You think you can lie and everyone will believe you ? Dream on ! The others nodded , agreeing .
Г She has a point .
The Blackwood boys always bring Amanda to everything .
Never seen you .
This was supposed to be a party celebrating Amanda joining the scene .
And this little nobody ruined it .
I laughed .
I turned to my personal assistant .
Get my beloved brothers down here .
Tell them the orphan we took in is trying to impersonate Katherine Blackwood and ruin our family name .
Ask him if he wants Amanda to be a laughing stock .
The assistant hesitated .
< She knew my brothers were obsessed with Amanda , practically worshiping her and turning her into a social media star .
Every time Amanda messed with me , theyd take her side , yelling at me for being disrespectful , grounding me , and forcing me to apologize .
Go .
Ive got this .
Hearing that , the assistant finally left .
Amanda just laughed .
Katherine , have you learned nothing ? Have you forgotten how your brothers treat you every time you cross me ? She knew my brother , Steven , would protect < her no matter what .
Last time , when Amanda told the housekeeper to throw acid in my face , I called Steven , begging for help .
He didnt believe me .
He yelled at me for lying about Amanda and told me to drop dead somewhere else .
I died full of despair and pain , beaten to death by the people Amanda hired , my body dumped in the freezing river .
This time , they would pay .
Unexpectedly , before Steven even showed , my childhood best friend , Michael , came strutting in , carrying a giant bouquet of L Katherine , he said , I wanted to show you how much I care about you , so I bought every rose in town to make this bouquet .
Brittany looked shocked .
She glanced at Amanda , nervous and confused .
Did Michael just say that to me ? Looking at Michaels adoring gaze , I wanted to puke .
He used to cling to me , always wanting to play wedding , telling my parents he would marry me when he grew up .
But then he saw Amanda and ditched me for く When Amanda made my life a living hell , he did nothing .
Walking right up to Amanda , Michael smiled gently , tucking a strand of hair behind her ear .
Youre beautiful , Amanda .
Then he turned to me , his eyes like knives .
You think were stupid enough to believe that you are Katherine Blackwood just because you made up a random story ? Get real .
Katherine , if you begged me right now , I wouldnt give you a second look , he said , his face twisted in disgust .
I There is only one person I love , and that is Amanda , the real Katherine Blackwood .
< Michael , who used to swear hed love me forever , was now groveling at Amandas feet , calling me a liar .
The others , already unsure of my identity , immediately believed Michael .
Amanda has such a big heart .
She let this stray hang around , and this is how shes repaid .
Someone should have left her to die in the streets .
Now she just causes problems .
Amanda looked thrilled , a flicker of triumph in her eyes .
Seeing them together , I laughed , took a white jade pendant from around my neck .
< This is the Phoenix Blood Jade .
Only the real Katherine Blackwood can wear it .
Amanda , do you have one of these ? Several people hurried closer , peering at the pendant .
Many of them had been friends with my parents for years .
They gasped .
