In the lavish hall of a nightclub, my heavily pregnant sister was shoved onto the stage. Below, men were red-faced, arguing over who fathered the child in her belly. "It's definitely mine! I put in the most effort that night!" "Bullshit! I went the most rounds, the odds are in my favor!" My sister, pale and tearful, questioned the man beside her: "Lucas, you're my fiancé. How could you treat me like this?" Lucas hugged the delicate girl in his arms and sneered, "You don't even know whose seed you're carrying, and you have the nerve to ask me?" The girl covered her mouth, giggling shyly but looking at my sister with triumph. Sitting in the audience, my eyes turned cold. I haven't been back for a few years, and people dare to bully the Jiang family! ... My assistant bowed and whispered, "Should I summon the club owner, Chase, to give you an explanation?" I scoffed coldly. "What's the use of calling him? Get everyone ready!" "Yes." The assistant quickly retreated. Dare to touch my sister? Tonight, no one leaves in one piece! 1 My sister's voice trembled. "That night it was only you! How could I be pregnant with someone else's child?!" Sophie, nestled in Lucas's arms, laughed delicately. "Emily, you were drunk and shouting 'one isn't enough,' dragging several men into the room. Don't you remember?" My sister's face turned white. "Impossible! Only Lucas was in the room..." Halfway through, she froze, staring dead at Lucas. "It was you... that glass of red wine... you drugged me?!" Lucas didn't deny it, not even looking at my sister. He pulled a stack of photos from his pocket and scattered them on the stage. "Come on, place your bets! Whoever guesses right gets a bonus video of that hot night!" Cheers erupted from the audience. "That's intense! Not even a stitch of clothing, clear as day!" "Hotter than a movie cover, just one look and I'm burning up!" Sophie picked one up, glanced at it with disgust, and tossed it aside. A photo drifted down in front of me. I picked it up. One look, and I saw red. These people are insane! Wait until I show them what happens when you mess with the Jiang family! The men below fought over my sister's photos like hungry wolves, slamming cash onto the table, red-eyed as they placed bets, as if auctioning goods. I fingered my wine glass in the dark, watching this absurd gamble coldly. My assistant isn't back yet. Just a little longer... "Bets closed!" The dealer's voice cut through the noise. "Now, welcome the professionals to reveal the answer to this bet!" Several people in white coats rushed onto the stage with instruments, grabbing my sister's arm without a word. A needle flashed, about to pierce her skin. "Get off!" My usually weak sister suddenly fought back. She broke free, scratching the person's face. "Where's Chase? Tell him to get out here! If I lose a single hair tonight, this dump closes tomorrow!" My sister screamed, and everyone burst into laughter. Sophie laughed so hard she trembled. "Oh my, our Miss Jiang is still dreaming?" She suddenly yanked my sister's hair, whispering in her ear: "You forgot, Chase is my biological brother. He bankrupted the Jiang family long ago. Where did you get the guts to scream here?" I had already moved to the edge of the stage, ready to rescue my sister, but my heart skipped a beat. Chase's sister? The Jiang family bankrupted? Why didn't I know? Lucas pulled Sophie into his arms. "Why waste words on her?" He turned to the white coats. "Hurry up, don't waste time!" Just as the needle tip touched my sister's skin, the dealer beside them turned pale. He suddenly shouted: "Stop!" 2 Everyone was startled, and I stopped my movement. Trembling, he pulled a jade seal from my sister's waist, cold sweat soaking his back. "The... The Cloud Water Seal?!" In shock, he pressed the highest-priority button on the club phone. "Mr. Chen, the Cloud Water Seal has appeared. Please come verify its authenticity!" Lucas's face sank, and even Sophie in his arms went silent. Chase, the "Mr. Chen" they spoke of, was just an adopted son of my father. By age, he'd have to call me Big Sister. Knowing this was his turf, my tense nerves relaxed slightly. I waited for my assistant, calm on the surface. Soon, Chase's personal secretary, Bella, arrived. "Mr. Chen will be here shortly. Let me assess the situation first!" Just as her finger touched the seal, Sophie in Lucas's arms laughed again. "Coincidence! I have this broken thing too!" She pulled a brocade box from her purse. When the box popped open, the crowd gasped. Two Cloud Water Seals, identical. "Hers has a crack!" Sophie's red lips parted. "It's a fake." My sister cried out urgently, "My sister gave this to me personally! How could it be fake?" "I am Jane Jiang's biological sister!" As soon as she finished, Sophie laughed. "I've lived in the Jiang house for years and never saw you having a sister. You're a habitual liar, inventing a sister now!" Bella examined the seal, respectfully returned Sophie's, and picked up where Sophie left off. "Jane Jiang?" Bella sneered, as if hearing a joke. "Never heard of her." "Since the real Cloud Water Seal is with Miss Sophie, we can't interfere with this Ms. Jiang's affairs. Carry on." With that, Bella stood aside, acting as if it was none of her business. The men exploded: "Test her! I bet ten grand it's my kid!" "After the test, we'll take turns tasting her." The men were like flies to blood. Some even started undoing their belts. "I'm raising my bet! Test her, then I'm diving in!" The white coats pinned my sister down again. The needle flashed, aiming straight for her pale skin. My assistant still hadn't returned, but I couldn't wait any longer. "Stop!" I leaped onto the stage, kicking over the metal instrument tray. Bella's pupils shrank. "Who's this crazy woman, daring to wreck Mr. Chen's place?!" I smiled coldly. "Jiang family, Jane Jiang." 3 Dead silence. But the silence lasted only a second. "Hahaha—" The hall erupted in deafening laughter. Some even laughed tears. "Jane Jiang? You?" "That's the legendary figure who could shake up the capital! No news for years, why would she be here?" Sophie clutched her stomach, laughing hysterically. "Emily, which theater troupe did you hire this actor from? Pretty convincing performance!" Lucas frowned, looking at me with disgust. "Emily, get this impostor out of here. Aren't you embarrassed enough?" My sister clung to me, eyes filled with disbelief and excitement. Veins popped on my forehead as I suppressed my rage: "When Chase arrives, the truth will be clear!" I shielded my sister behind me, eyes sharp as knives. "Before then, anyone who dares touch a hair on her head loses a hand!" Sophie covered her mouth, mocking: "Oh, still acting? If Jane Jiang really traveled, she'd have an entourage. How could she be alone?" I glanced at my bodyguard team squeezed into the corner, a sneer forming on my lips. "Let Chase come out and speak! I want to ask if he still respects me as his big sister?" Bella narrowed her eyes, assessing me, a sneer on her red lips: "Who do you think you are? Daring to call Mr. Chen by his first name? You really don't know your place!" She slowly twisted the jade bracelet on her wrist, voice dropping: "Men, take her down!" "I want to see just how much you weigh!" Several burly men grinned greedily, voices full of malicious teasing. "Yes! Sister Bella, I'll strip her clean and weigh her inside and out for you!" Their hands reached for us sisters. I slapped the first one across the face. "Insolent! Do you want to die?! Do you know the consequences of touching me?" The man's head snapped to the side. His eyes turned vicious, and he choked me. "Bitch, think you're something?" "Today I'll teach you the rules in front of everyone!" Laughter erupted around us. Men closed in maliciously; some pulled out phones to record. My sister cried and tried to rush over but was grabbed by the hair by Sophie and shoved to the ground. "Emily, where did you find this person? Is she brain damaged, daring to act wild here?" "You act innocent, Miss High-and-Mighty, but who knows whose seed is in your belly!" Sophie slapped my sister, drawing blood from her lip. I kicked the man beside me away to save her, but strong arms pinned me down. My bodyguards were blocked by the chaotic crowd, unable to move. "Tsk tsk, the impostor is addicted to acting?" Sophie stepped on my sister's chin with her heel. "Kneel and kowtow three times, and maybe I'll ask Secretary Bella to let your fake sister go." My sister looked at Lucas with tears, voice trembling: "Lucas, she really is my sister. If you hurt her, you'll all regret it..." Lucas adjusted his cuffs indifferently, looking at her like trash: "If not for you, where would this trouble come from? Apologize to Sophie now." "Kowtow! Or we strip her now!" Men reached for my collar, grinning. "I'll kowtow!" My sister's knees hit the marble floor hard. She pressed her forehead to the cold stone. "Please, don't touch my sister..." I watched her slam her head again and again. Each thud felt like a knife carving out a piece of my heart. My assistant was late, the bodyguards at the door strangely silent. Something was wrong. Bella looked at my exquisite face, envy flashing in her eyes. She pulled out a scalpel, pressing the blade against my face. "Such a pretty face. Wonder if Mr. Chen will recognize it if I carve it up?" "Don't touch my sister!" My sister struggled. "Chase will make you wish you were dead!" "Think you're still the Jiang heiress? Too bad the Jiang family hasn't been surnamed Jiang for a long time." Mocking my sister, Bella pressed the blade into my face. Warm blood trickled down my neck. Just as she was about to cut again. The main doors crashed open. Chase entered with a team. His gaze swept over my sister's bloody forehead and the cut on my face. The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing. 4 "Chase," my sister's eyes lit up, "tell them to release my sister!" Chase's gloomy gaze swept the room, landing on Bella: "What's going on?" Bella immediately put on a wronged expression. "Brother Chase, look. This woman brought a fake to impersonate your sister." Chase looked at my sister, eyes full of disgust: "Emily, when will you stop making trouble? Sophie gives in everywhere, but you push your luck?" "Give in?" My sister trembled with rage. "They humiliated me publicly, called my sister's seal fake, and you say I'm pushing my luck?" "You promised my sister you'd take care of me! Now you help an outsider bully me?" "Outsider?" Sophie smugly linked arms with Chase. "I'm his biological sister! Who are you?" Face covered in blood, I stared coldly at Chase. He only cared about comforting Sophie. My sister pointed at me urgently. "My sister is back. How will you explain this to her?" Chase finally looked at me. Seeing my face, surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to coldness: "Emily, your sister died long ago. Hiring a double to act is boring." I couldn't help but scoff. The dog I raised learned to bite when the master wasn't looking. "Chase, you've really grown impressive!" Hearing the familiar voice, Chase's pupils shrank violently, Adam's apple bobbing. He lifted my chin with trembling fingers, examining me closely for a long time, eyes filled with thick, unmelting emotion. Finally, he touched the wound on my face lightly and sighed deeply. "This face is truly alike... Pity. Without this scar, I could have let you follow me." His face carried sorrow, as if remembering someone he loved but couldn't have through me. "But now, it's useless." "Even if you look like her, what's the point? She's gone..." He closed his eyes. "Bella, handle it." Bella smiled mockingly, looking at me like a joke. She snapped her fingers. Several burly men tore at my collar. My sister was roughly pressed onto the gambling table, chips scattering. At that moment, the gilded doors of the hall collapsed with a loud bang. My assistant stood against the light, a dark mass of people flooding in behind him like a tide. Face bruised, he said apologetically, "Sorry, Miss. Ran into... a delay on the way."
