Chapter 1 " The defendant , Yvette Summers , is found guilty of assault with intent to cause bodily harm . Sentenced to two years in prison . " ] The moment the gavel slammed down , Yvette's blood turned to ice . Below in the gallery , her parents let out sighs of relief while her four brothers high - fived each other . [ ] Standing in the defendant's dock , Yvette felt tears mix with despair , choking her throat . ] ] She finally got it . Abandoned eighteen years ago , brought home eighteen years later - not because they missed her , but because they needed at fall guy . Their beloved fake heiress - Stella - had pushed someone off a 9th floor rooftop last week . The victim was still in a coma a .] And she , the real daughter who'd been left out in the cold , was the perfect person to take the blame . She could still remember when they first showed up , tears streaming down their faces as they poured out their hearts : ] " Yvette ! We finally found you ! " Mom had sobbed uncontrollably . " These eighteen years , we never gave up looking ! " ] " Sweetheart , it's Daddy and Mommy's fault . " Dad's voice had trembled . Her four brothers had surrounded her , saying things like " We'll protect you from now on " and " We always kept your room ready at home . " || In that moment , Yvette thought she was the luckiest person alive . After eighteen years of waiting , she finally had her answer . She'd cried her eyes out , calling " Mommy , Daddy " over and over again . But before she could even process all that excitement , Mom had pulled her aside : ] " Yvette , you know your sister Stella has been frail and sickly since she was little … " Mom had held her hands with tears in her eyes . " You're the big sister . You should protect your little sister , right ? " ] Dad had knelt down too . " She can't handle prison , but you're different . You're strong . " " Don't worry , it's just for show . We absolutely won't let you actually go to prison !" Desperate for family love , Yvette had believed them . She'd thought this was the first time her family needed her , that she could finally do something for them . [ ] Until she stood in that courtroom and watched with her own eyes . Chipie 1 Her parents presenting carefully forged evidence : ] Her eldest brother Adrian , as a lawyer , providing Stella's defense : Her second brother Zachary swearing under oath that she was the perpetrator : ] Her third brother Ryan taking photos from the gallery , ready to manipulate public opinion ; Her fourth brother Daniel whispering gently in her ear : "Just plead guilty for now . We'll get you out later . " ] ] But the moment the verdict was read , their relieved smiles cut through her chest like knives . [ ] She thought she'd break down crying , but found she couldn't even shed a tear . ] So this was what ultimate pain felt like . The two years in prison were worse than death . Three broken ribs , a fractured left hand , phone calls home that never went through , letters that never got replies . ] For two whole years , not a single person came to visit her . Just like when she'd been abandoned eighteen years ago , she was forgotten again . ] When she was released , even the prison guard felt sorry for her : [ ] " Go on home now , your family's here to pick you up . Live a good life from now on , don't let them down anymore . " But Yvette's face showed no expression . She looked up , shielding her eyes from the harsh sunlight . ] She'd had no home , no family , for a long time now . The " Yvette " in the prison ward had died in her first month , died in a corner where no one cared . ] ] The " Yvette " now was just a wandering soul who'd happened to enter her body . ] From the moment she opened her eyes . ]] she'd sworn to get revenge for Yvette . " Yvette . " From a Porsche 911 not far away , a well dressed man with refined features slowly rolled down his window . [ ] " Mom and Dad sent me to pick you up . You've been through hell these past two years . When you get back , we'll make it up to you . " ] It was her eldest brother , Zachary Looking at her , Zachary's eyes flashed with surprise ] The Yvette in front of him wasn't disheveled like he'd expected . Instead , she looked healthy , even prettier than she had two years ago . Yvette glanced at her " big brother " and let out a cold laugh . She couldn't help but find it amusing Back when they'd brought her home , they'd said pretty much the same thing . They'd talked a big game about making it up to her , but in reality , she'd lived like a charity case . ] They'd put her in the basement and wouldn't even let her eat meals with the family . [ ] But back then , Yvette hadn't cared about any of that . She'd been too caught up in the joy of finding her family Even though she knew they favored that sister who wasn't even blood - related . ] Even though they hurt her again and again for Stella's sake . ] ] She'd thought she could bear it all . But looking back now , that original Yvette had been such a fool ! [ ] Thinking about how the original had been bullied to death by fellow inmates , Yvette's gaze grew colder and colder . [ ] " Don't worry . Since I'm using your body for this second chance , I'll get revenge for you too , " she whispered to herself . [ ] Every single member of the Summers family - she'd make them pay , one by one ! ]]
