I'm an heiress who's been bound to a gossip system. Everyone reads my mind on my first day back home after being reunited with my family.

"Mom sure has done a good job of maintaining her beauty. It's no wonder she became an OnlyFans streamer after divorcing Dad."

My mother is about to berate me for something, but she pales and stops when she hears my thoughts.

I glance at the fake heiress, who's weeping pitifully.

"My, she's pregnant. Is it John's or Zach's?"

My two brothers exchange odd looks.

Then, my father arrives.

I cluck my tongue. "Oh, it's Dad's."

On my first day back with the Harrison family, my biological mother, Linda Yates, laid down the law for me sternly because of my poor table manners.

"Now that you've entered the Harrison family, you'd better rein in your wild behavior. I don't expect you to be as refined and cultured as Yvette, but you should at least understand basic manners.

"You should know that starting from your great-grandmother, the women of the Yates family have always been the top socialites in Vondemont. Every outrageous thing you do will be a slap in the face for our ancestors."

I listened obediently with my head lowered, putting on a submissive appearance like a model student. However, I couldn't help but complain silently in my mind, "So, this is my biological mother, huh? She has such fair skin, long legs, and perky hips. Rich people really know how to take care of themselves.

"It's no wonder she could still find work as an OnlyFans streamer after divorcing Dad."

Mom, who had been scolding me earlier, suddenly turned pale. She stared at me in horror and shock.

I gave her a smile and said, "I got it, Mom."

Although Mom was a little naggy, she did have a gorgeous face. I owed my good looks to her genes. Mom didn't have to worry. Even if she was abandoned, I would farm the land to take care of her.

"You…" Mom's expression darkened further. She was about to say something when two men and a woman walked in.

The young lady, Yvette Harrison, ran over as soon as she saw me and stretched out her hand. "Tiff, welcome home! Our whole family has been waiting for this day to arrive."

I thought, "The whole family has been waiting for me? They all knew where I was two years ago, and yet, they kept it from Mom. The reason they brought me back now is to have me donate a kidney to my sick eldest brother, isn't it?"

My eldest brother, John Harrison, was behind Yvette. He froze for a moment, and his ears turned slightly red.

I forgot to take Yvette's hand as I was caught up in my thoughts. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes and spilled over the next second. "Mom, John, it seems Tiff doesn't like me. I think I'd better move out."

My second brother, Zach Harrison, rushed up to comfort her. He turned and shot me a vicious glare. "Tiffany, what's your motive for bullying Yvette on your first day back home?"

I blinked innocently and said, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."

Nonetheless, I couldn't stop the thought from forming in my mind: "Zach's so aggressive. Clearly, he's really protective over his possessions. However, whose child is Yvette's anyway? She and Zach haven't even confessed their feelings yet. Could she have slept with John that night after all?"

Zach's hand froze in midair, and he turned to look at John in disbelief. He seemed ready to devour John in anger. "You touched her?"

John's face paled. "No, I didn't."

"Was that so? There were plenty of other ways to deal with Yvette, even though she was drugged that night. However, John still insisted on doing such acts. He was almost at death's door, yet all he could think about was indecent acts between a man and a woman," I pondered.

Zach grabbed John by the collar. "Explain yourself."

I realized, "Oh, wait. It really wasn't John. He had fainted and was rushed to the hospital that day. So, who was the long-legged, six-foot-two man with a scent of pine on his body?"

Zach released his grip on John awkwardly and turned to look at me. "Tiffany, you…"

"That's enough!" Mom shouted, "John, bring Tiffany to her room to rest for a while."

John led me toward the elevator.

"Mom, did I do something wrong? Did I upset Tiff?" Yvette was a little confused. She had no idea why John and Zach were fighting. She cried even harder when no one paid attention to her performance.

In the past, Mom would have comforted her by now. However, she merely glanced at Yvette this time. "Why are you always crying? I'm not even dead, and yet, you keep weeping and wailing every day."

My biological dad, Thomas Harrison, came home at dinner time.

At the dining table, Yvette acted coquettish as usual. She clung to Dad and asked him for a birthday gift. Mom also served Dad by placing food on his plate.

The whole family chatted and laughed together, ignoring me collectively. I couldn't help but start thinking once more:

"How could Mom still serve him food? Didn't she notice how Dad's eyes are practically glued onto Yvette? My word, it turns out that the baby in Yvette's belly actually belongs to Dad.

"What is it with the men in this family? Why are they all attracted to innocent and delicate young women like Yvette?

"Honestly, it isn't surprising that Dad likes Yvette. She does bear a slight resemblance to his first love. He wouldn't have ended up with Mom if it weren't for money. He married such a beauty and took over her family's assets.

"In the end, he teams up with Yvette to turn Mom into an outcast and a disgrace. What a masterful plan!"

The fork in Mom's hand slipped and fell to the ground with a clatter, along with the food she was holding.

Meanwhile, John and Zach hadn't recovered from their shock.

A woman dressed in a black suit handed Mom a fresh fork and thoughtfully cleaned up the mess.

"Thank you, Susan," Mom said as she thanked the housekeeper with a pale face. She breathed deeply, trying to regain her composure.

"It's nothing. Let me know if you need anything else," Susan said.

I glanced at the woman, Susan Owens. Huh? Why did the name Susan sound so familiar? Let me think…

At that moment, Mom and my two brothers paused in their actions simultaneously.

"Oh, she's one of Dad's mistresses. As expected of a scumbag like him… He has mistresses everywhere. However, Susan's already this old. Why does she still have such a strong libido? Earlier, she was practically begging Dad to plant a hickey on her body. Her neck is all bruised.

"It turns out that Dad had a mommy complex, huh? Tsk, tsk! No wonder Dad favors her for so long. In the end, Susan even manages to rival Yvette despite her age. Nonetheless, men still prefer younger women. Both of them lost to Susan's daughter in the end," I mused.

Mom dropped her fork again.

Right on cue, Susan appeared and bent down to pick them up.

Mom suddenly grabbed her by the collar and yanked her sweater down. Her neck was covered in hickeys, as if she just had a passionate make-out session earlier.

"Who did this?" Mom looked ferocious. She was so enraged that her breathing turned heavy.

Susan's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered her composure. "Mrs. Harrison, this is a private matter."

"Yes, darling. Susan has been single for years. It's normal for her to have a boyfriend," Dad chimed in, trying to smooth things over.

Mom gave him a cold glance. "You have no right to speak here. Susan, I'll ask you one more time. Who did this? I'll fire you if you don't answer me."

Tears welled up in Susan's eyes. "Mrs. Harrison, this is my private matter. If you don't respect my privacy, I'll leave on my own."

At this point, Yvette also began to plead on behalf of Susan, "Mom, Susan has been with our family for so long. It's normal for her to have physical needs. How could you pry into her private life?"

My thoughts ran wild as I watched the scene unfold.

"As expected of Mom! She caught on so quickly. But why's Yvette pleading for her rival? What kind of malicious scheme is she plotting?" asked my mind.

"Tiffany, that's enough!" Zach burst out in anger before anyone else could speak. "Stop spreading lies!"

I said innocently, "But Zach, I didn't say anything."

"You clearly…"

I then realized, "Oh, I finally got it. Yvette's afraid that no one will be around to drug Zach once Susan leaves. This woman is truly sinister. She uses others to do her dirty work!"

Zach swallowed the rest of his sentence and fell silent.

Like a dog who got beaten up, Zach suddenly became quiet and listless.

John patted his shoulder supportively and whispered something in his ear—likely words of comfort.

I narrowed my eyes and thought, "John's still trying to comfort others? He doesn't realize his kidney issues are caused by Susan's drugs as well. Yvette knew this all along, but she didn't warn him because of her pregnancy. Poor John. He becomes everyone's target just because he's Dad's son.

"Yvette and Susan both want to ruin him just to let their child usurp his position. John hopes to use my kidney to save himself, but what he doesn't know is Yvette had someone inject me with a used needle, and now, I have contracted hepatitis C. I can never donate a kidney to him now.

"The only perfect match for him is Dad, but he never intends to donate a kidney to John. He even faked the test results. Poor, poor John. How pitiful can he be?"

I corrected myself inwardly, "Wait a minute. I should be the pitiful one. I got dragged back here out of nowhere to be harvested for a kidney. I just wanted to farm in peace. I didn't ask to die with these two brothers!"

With that thought, I angrily devoured two big lobsters. I still wanted more food after finishing those. I looked up and saw the whole family staring at me strangely.

Oops! I ate too fast. They must have thought I was possessed by a starving ghost.

I quickly apologized before Mom could lecture me, "Mom, I'm sorry. My table manners are awful."

Unexpectedly, she was sympathetic. "It's okay, sweetie. You should eat as much as you want."

Mom pointed to John and Zach. "You two, help me drag Susan to the second floor."

For once, the two brothers were united. They dragged Susan off to the study on the second floor. Dad tried to follow them, but Mom's icy glare stopped him.

Yvette lost her appetite and went upstairs to rest early. After all, her room was next to the study. She might overhear something useful.

I grinned with glee when everyone else left the table. Now, all these delicious lobsters and abalones were mine!

After dinner, I returned to my room and slept soundly. I had a good routine of going to bed early and waking up early. At dawn, I was already up.

The maids hadn't woken up yet, so I took a stroll outside.

The garden at Harrison residence is enormous. The more I looked, the more envious I felt. What a shame. Such fertile land was wasted on flowers. Why didn't they grow crops instead?

I was wondering if I should ask Mom for a plot of land when I heard a gentle voice call out to me. I turned back and saw Mom standing at the door, waving to me.

I skipped toward her cheerfully, but halfway, I remembered her instructions and began walking slowly like a refined lady.

"Mom, good morning," I greeted, noticing the dark circles under her eyes.

"Wow! Mom didn't sleep all night, it seems. But who could have slept? Mom treated Susan like a sister. Thankfully, Mom was a shrewd woman and went straight to the police. I heard Susan even hooked up with someone in prison. Strong people truly won't complain about their circumstances," I mused.

At that moment, Dad came out as well. "Darling, did you stay up all night? Where's Susan?"

Mom gave him a cold glance and said, "Thomas, I…"

"Mom won't ask for a divorce, will she? She'd better not… Dad's almost done transferring the assets. Asking for a divorce now will be foolish.

"But given Mom's pragmatic personality, she won't tolerate this. However, she doesn't have to worry. I would take care of her if she went bankrupt. I would never let you stoop to make money on OnlyFans," I decided inwardly.

Mom glanced at me with a mixed expression, as if silently pleading, "Can you stop bringing up the word 'OnlyFans'?"

Dad asked, "What's the matter?"

"Susan said she wanted to return to her hometown, so I sent her back. There's one more thing. I'm planning to return to work at the company," Mom said.
