My Boyfriend Punished Me, Not Knowing I’m The Heiress

Just because I caught my boyfriend drugging my wealthy sister, he turned around and locked me in the boiler room.

"A fake daughter really is a fake daughter, always doing disgusting, sneaky things!"

"If it weren’t for you, how could Blair have nearly died just to prove she’s the real daughter? And now you dare to get in the way of her finding love!"

After saying that, he opened the boiler room and threw me inside.

But he didn’t know the boiler room equipment had malfunctioned and scalding water was spraying out nonstop.

Terrified, I pounded on the door and begged for help.

But Spencer thought I was lying, just trying to get his attention and pity.

So he got even more into his heated moment with Blair, making loud noises on purpose just so I could hear it.

They completely forgot about me.

Until the maintenance workers rushed in, clearly alarmed and told him.

“We just detected someone still inside the boiler room. Has she been rescued yet?”

Spencer froze.

Then, ignoring everyone trying to stop him, he ran toward the boiler room in a panic.

But it was already too late.

That day, countless people saw him kneeling on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

——

A loud bang came from inside the boiler room.

A sharp piece of iron shot out from the boiler and pierced into my body.

Next door, I could still hear the sounds of passion between my sister and my boyfriend, Spencer Dawson.

“You’re so much more tempting than Scarlett, that fake daughter. I fell for you the moment I saw you.”

“I’ve already transferred all of Scarlett’s assets to you. How could a fake daughter, who stole someone else’s identity, deserve any of that?”

Spencer’s words stabbed into my heart like knives.

But I didn’t have the strength to care anymore.

The iron shard had truly pierced through me.

I knocked weakly on the wall, begging for help.

“Spencer... help me... I’m dying...”

His cold voice came from the other side.

“Scarlett, are you trying to get attention again with your tricks? Just like a fake daughter with dirty blood, always scheming.”

“Didn’t you hear that explosion just now? Why would I lie about something like this?”

Spencer paused.

He hesitated and said to Blair, “I should go check. There really was a loud explosion just now. What if something actually happened…”

Blair’s voice came through, sweet and playful.

“The villa’s full of safety systems. What could possibly go wrong? Sister always makes a fuss just to get attention. I’m sure this time is no different.”

I was in so much pain I could barely speak.

Because Blair was lying.

I saw with my own eyes that she had turned off all the villa’s safety systems, using maintenance as an excuse.

That’s why the alarm never went off when the boiler room exploded.

Blood poured from my back.

My vision blurred and my voice grew weaker.

But Spencer still thought I was lying.

He grew even more furious and mocked me.

“Scarlett, are you jealous that I’m about to become the Lewis Family’s son-in-law and you, the fake daughter, are about to be kicked out?”

“Are you trying to crawl your way back into the Lewis Family and that glamorous world of money by becoming my mistress?”

“Scarlett! Keep dreaming! A mess like you should stop pretending you can be a star!"
