“Here, look for yourself!” The anger in her voice was entirely undisguised.
Juno opened her eyes, only to see a thick stack of documents shoved right in front of her face.
Looking up past the papers, she saw a girl with a playful, energetic appearance, though her face was currently twisted in righteous indignation.
“It’s 2012!
I can’t believe a scheme as sick as swapping the real heiress for an adopted child still happens!
It was never a bait-and-switch for the family’s true heir!
He’s completely psychotic!”
Jessica Jenkins handed the forged documents to her best friend, who had already been panicking out of her mind during their phone call last night.
She expected Juno to accept them with trembling hands and, upon reading them, look absolutely heartbroken—completely severing any lingering thoughts her friend had about returning to the Jacobs Family.
But after waiting for quite a while, Jessica realized that the girl not only didn’t take the documents, but instead slowly opened her pitch-black eyes—eyes utterly devoid of warmth—and stared at her with an eerie, chilling gaze.
It was a look Jessica had never seen before!
She looked like The Bloodthirsty Demon King from Netherwood Castle, finally awakening after slumbering for tens of thousands of years, exuding a terrifying and sinister aura.
Jessica immediately realized she had overreacted!
She hastily swapped her expression for a pitiable, wronged look and sat down next to Juno.
“Juno, I’m just getting mad on your behalf!
I mean, you’re already an adult, and you’ve grown up to be so beautiful!
You even got into Kyloria University based purely on your own merit!
Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs are only just now remembering to look for their child—isn’t it obvious they just want to use you?
Where the hell were they when you needed parents the most!”
The persona Jessica had carefully crafted for herself was that of a lively, cute, and straight-talking girl.
Because of this, no matter what she said—even if it sounded harsh—the naive Juno would usually take it to heart.
But right now, as she tried to hook arms with Juno just like she always did, she hadn’t even touched her before being startled by that dark, cold glare.
She quickly pulled her hand back.
Swaying her shoulders awkwardly, Jessica whined affectionately, “Juno, what’s wrong?
If you don’t like me talking about Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs, I won’t mention them anymore!”
Juno furrowed her brows and gently rubbed her temples.
Her head throbbed with intense pain as waves of unfamiliar memories flooded into her mind with overwhelming force.
BEEP—
[The President’s Substitute Wife has been successfully transmitted.
The host may review it at any time.]
As the robotic voice echoed, the unfamiliar memories grew clearer and clearer.
No.
More accurately, it was a book.
A melodramatic, old-school angsty romance novel.
In it, the tragic female protagonist, who grew up in an orphanage, was mistreated after being adopted.
Just as she was about to be forced to drop out of school and marry a creepy old bachelor, the angelic male lead appeared and offered her a helping hand.
As they spent time together, the female lead grew up and naturally fell in love with him.
Little did she know, all of this was part of the male lead’s long-premeditated revenge plot!
Right now, the plot had progressed to the point where the female lead had just discovered she was the long-lost heiress of Jacobs Enterprises—Juno Jacobs.
Yesterday, Mrs.
Jacobs had tracked her down at school, hugged her, and immediately started calling her “daughter,” weeping over how hard it had been to search for her all these years.
Juno Jacobs had been so terrified she fled on the spot.
She had known for a long time that Stephen Grant had a mortal enemy with whom he shared a bitter vendetta—Derek Jacobs!
She also equally despised Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs, that pair of hypocrites who did charity everywhere but were actually monsters in human skin.
And now she was being told she was the daughter of that exact couple?
How could that be possible!
If Mr.
Grant found out, how thoroughly would he detest her?
Both shocked and terrified, Juno confided her worries to her only lifelong friend, Jessica Jenkins.
She had only just spoken about it last night, yet today, Jessica showed up at her door with these so-called investigative documents.
In those fake documents, Juno, a child who had clearly been abducted, was framed as having been intentionally abandoned by Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs.
The documents further claimed that eighteen years ago, in order to seize the Jacobs Family’s fortune, Derek Jacobs desperately needed a son, so he ruthlessly threw away his newborn daughter.
And Juno was that very daughter Derek Jacobs had discarded eighteen years ago!
The papers alleged that they were only seeking Juno out now to use her marriage to form an alliance with another company, all for the sake of expanding the Jacobs Group.
Upon learning this news, the original Juno had despised Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs even more.
A few days later, when the couple came to her home, she used the most vicious words she could muster to curse them out relentlessly.
To prove her absolute resolve to Stephen Grant, she hadn’t hesitated to slit her wrists and attempt suicide right in front of Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs, declaring that she would never forgive them in this lifetime!
Blood had gushed like a fountain, and Juno had fainted on the spot.
Terrified out of their minds, Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs had only dared to watch over their daughter silently from then on.
They never showed their faces again for fear of triggering her.
Consequently, Juno finally regained Stephen Grant’s trust, and he treated her even better than before.
But she had no idea that Stephen Grant was actually using her as a hostage to force Derek Jacobs into making constant concessions in the business world.
Three years later, Stephen Grant successfully swallowed up Celestia’s leading enterprise—the Jacobs Group.
Juno was no longer of any use to him, so she was kept locked away like a pet canary.
When he was in a good mood, he would tease her a bit.
When he wasn’t, he would kick her aside.
Juno always pretended to be completely blind to Stephen Grant’s drastic change, keeping up the facade that she was incredibly happy.
But while she foolishly waited for Stephen Grant to marry her, the news she ultimately received was of his grand wedding to someone else!
After that, the melodramatic plot became truly unbearable to witness.
Kidney harvesting, forced blood transfusions, and induced abortions—Juno even discovered the entirety of Stephen Grant’s revenge scheme!
It turned out Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs had never abandoned her.
The six-year-old Juno had actually been kidnapped!
For all these years, the couple had searched for her desperately, even refusing to have a second child.
They had been terrified that if they had another child to rely on, they would slowly forget about their missing daughter.
The current heir to the Jacobs Group was just a child they had adopted from an orphanage!
It was never a bait-and-switch for the Crown Prince!
These were facts that Juno would have discovered had she simply paid a little attention, yet she had willingly let herself be deceived by Stephen Grant for so many years!
But it was all too late…
Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs had long since been murdered by Stephen Grant.
Juno finally experienced a complete awakening and, with the help of the supporting male lead, Paul Quinn, successfully escaped his evil clutches.
And that was when an even soapier plot twist occurred!
After Juno disappeared completely, Stephen Grant suddenly realized that the person he truly loved was her all along!
He searched desperately for years, only to be met by a completely reborn Juno who sought frantic, manic revenge.
Stephen Grant was utterly ruined, losing his entire fortune, yet he accepted it all willingly…
If the story had ended there, everything would have been perfect.
A happy ending!
The disgusting part was that the original Juno actually discovered she still had lingering feelings for the now-destitute and pathetic Stephen Grant!
Casting aside all past grievances and worldly judgments, the two finally got back together.
The story’s ending featured a heavily pregnant Juno being accompanied by Stephen Grant to sweep Mr.
and Mrs.
Jacobs’s graves…
