    Chapter 1


    As the nanny served thest dish, Attlee ced a slice of steak onto Arabe’s te.


    “This might be thest time we have dinner together… Can’t believe your biological parents are taking


    you back so soon…”


    His voice was full of regret. He thought of his illness three months ago. He needed a blood transfusion


    urgently, and Arabe discovered, while giving him blood, that they weren’t rted by blood.


    The news shocked the entire family.


    After recovering, Attlee managed to find his actual daughter-Ynda Murphy, after much effort.


    And Arabe… This child with no blood rtion to him….


    The Murphys posted information online about Arabe’s search for her birth parents. Yesterday,


    Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    someone called saying they were Arabe’s real mother, and they were going to take her away today.


    “The nanny made all your favorite dishes today…” Attlee said, feeling a knot in his stomach. “Eat up,


    you’re going to your biological parents’ ce today, who knows what the situation will be like…”


    From yesterday’s call, Attlee found out that Arabe’s real parents were currently unemployed, and


    they lived in Willow Creek.


    That ce was one of the most backward and poorest areas in the country! If she went there, she


    would never have the chance to enjoy the delicacies the Murphys cooked again!


    Arabe, sitting at the table, her eyes clear as if seeing his worries, calmly put down her fork and knife,


    and simply said, “I’m


    full.”


    She rose and left, her figure firm and nonchnt, as if she had no attachment to this home.


    Attlee’s wife, Olga, was immediately upset upon hearing this,ining, “Stop spoiling that child!


    She doesn’t appreciate all this food. Once she lives with her real parents, she’ll know how hard life can


    be and how good she had it here!”


    “Mum, don’t get upset. I’m sure my sister doesn’t want to go back either. She must be feeling awful


    right now…”


    The one speaking was Ynda, who had returned to the Murphy family a month ago. Yesterday she


    overheard her parents’ conversation and found out that Arabe’s biological parents were extremely


    poor. They had no jobs, five unmarried sons at home, and even an olddy who was ill and needed


    care.


    The burden they were under was unimaginable!


    Feeling extremely lucky, Ynda got up and said, “I’ll go check on her.”


    At the dining table, Attlee shot Olga a reproachful look. “Why so much resentment? Be is our child


    too!”


    Olga scoffed, “Whenever I think about how we’ve been treating this child like a treasure all these years,


    while Yoli suffered outside, I feel heartbroken…”


    Arabe walked into the living room, picked up her backpack from the couch, ready to leave this home.


    Ynda quickly followed, “Arabe, my wedding with Zachary is on the first of October, you’lle,


    right?”


    Her eyes were full of anticipation, but there was a hint of pride and bragging in her voice. Everyone


    knew that the children of the Murphys and the Panters were getting married. If Ynda hadn’t been


    found by Attlee, Arabe would’ve been the one getting engaged to Zachary.


    “Zachary is really a great guy, he’s been so good to me. If my parents hadn’t found me, you would have


    been the one getting engaged to him, sis! You’re not going to hold a grudge about this, are you?”


    Arabeughed lightly. “Thanks to you, that worthless man found where he belongs.”


    Excuse me? What??


    “I was nning to throw him out like trash, but I didn’t expect someone to have picked up that ‘garbage’


    so soon.”


    “You, you…” Ynda was about to lose her temper, but when she saw a certain figure, she


    immediately turned into an injured bunny, her eyes red.


    Olga walked into the living room and saw this scene, fuming, “Arabe! How could you talk to your


    sister like that? Are you out of your mind?”


    “Out of my mind?” Arabeughed. “I think the one who’s out of their mind is you. And not only that,


    you’re blind too. Maybe you should get your eyes checked?”


    Arabe thought to herself, Olga had been living with this pretentious woman for a month and still


    hadn’t seen her true colors. What terrible judgment!


    “You…” Olga was shaking with anger.


    “Be, I want to give you my favorite ne that my parents gave me. After all, we’re sisters, and


    now that we’re parting, who knows when we’ll see each other again…” Ynda decided to forget past


    grudges. She ran forwards to grab Arabe, but just as her hand touched Arabe’s backpack…


    In the next second, something unexpected happened.


    A ruby ne actually fell out of Arabe’s backpack!


    When everyone saw this, they couldn’t believe their eyes.


    Ynda covered her mouth, “How is this possible…”


    How could the ruby ne she wanted to give her sister fall out of her sister’s backpack??


    Arabe smiled lightly, seeing right away that she was trying to frame her for theft.


    “How did Yoli’s ne end up in your bag?” Olga couldn’t believe her eyes, she urgently called,


    “Attlee,e see this! Arabe is about to leave, but she seems to have stolen Yoli’s ne! I can’t


    believe the daughter we raised for so many years is a thief!”


    Attlee rushed over, looking dumbfounded, and asked, “What’s going on?”


    “It’s cool…” Ynda hurriedly smoothed things over and said understandingly, “I was going to give this


    ne to my sister anyway. Whether I personally give it to her or she grabs it from me, it’s all the


    same!”


    “How is that the same? She took your ne without your permission – that’s stealing!” Olga was


    livid. “Arabe, how could you do something like this?!”


    The surrounding nannies couldn’t help but chime in,


    “Miss, you’re too kindhearted! This ne is worth ten grand!”


    “This was designed specifically for you by your parents’ personal designer! It’s one of its kind in the


    whole world!”


    “And it even has your name engraved on it!”


    “This is your favorite piece of jewelry, and she nearly nicked it, yet you’re not even ming her…”


    Ynda, hearing the praise around her, feigned a knowing look and exined, “She needs this


    ne more than I do!” Those around her couldn’t help but sing her praises, andparisons were


    made between her and Arabe. They all felt even more that Ynda outshone Arabe in every


    aspect!


    Apart from Arabe being a tad prettier, she really couldn’t hold a candle to Ynda in other areas!


    Olga took the ne from Ynda’s hand, her heart aching, and said, “You naive child, once she


    goes back to her family, they’ll be like a bottomless pit, sucking up all her wealth. Even if you gave her


    ten ruby nes, they still wouldn’t be satisfied!”
