“You’re lying!”
Rose struggled to rush over and hit me, but my parents and Jade held her back.

I turned to Joy. “Remember when I asked you about your blood type before?”
She looked up at me.
“My parents are both Type A. How could they possibly have a Type B child like you?” I said calmly. “Even if the switch had succeeded back then, my family gets medical checkups every Christmas. Your blood type issue couldn’t have been hidden.”
Joy’s expression twisted between crying

She had endured years of abuse and belittlement from her biological mother, and had finally found a reasonable explanation. Her mother was a disgusting villain who had maliciously switched a rich family’s child.
She had finally found the root of her suffering and glimpsed another path in life. Only to discover now that she was Rose’s biological daughter after all.
But Rose had raised her as someone else’s
child, taking out all her frustrations on
her.
She was truly pitiful.
But I couldn’t empathize with Joy, couldn’t even feel sorry for her.

The current Joy would have enjoyed wealth and privilege that didn’t belong to her. My parents and I would have devoted everything to treating her well, while my real sister suffered.
After all, most people don’t casually get paternity tests done.
I motioned for my parents and Jade to get ready to leave. At the door, I turned back
to look at them.
“By the way, I’ll send someone to Long Island to pack your things. You’re moving out today.
Also, I’ll be pursuing legal action for every instance of slander and defamation you’ve

On the way back, Lily scolded me: “Jessie, how could you not tell your dad and
me about something this big? Weren’t you afraid your sister really had been switched?”
Roy chimed in: “I used to praise you for being mature and steady, but I didn’t mean for you to keep secrets like this. You actually hid this from us – you scared me
to death.”
But he paused, then couldn’t help but marvel: “To have this kind of ability
at five years old – you’re definitely my daughter!”
Then Lily smacked him.

My parents bought Jade lots of things to cheer her up. Just thinking about how Jade had nearly been switched when she was born twenty years ago made them want to make it up to her.
It was their fault for being so careless back then – otherwise, how could anyone have had the opportunity to take advantage?
Roy said I had performed a great service, and even though it was when I was five, he still wanted to reward me now.
He decided to reward me with a company.
I didn’t say anything.
I suspected he and Lily wanted to retire.

After the truth came out, all problems needed to be resolved. Joy’s belongings were packed up and removed. No matter what she said, I had already blocked her on my parents‘ phones.
Later, I even lectured them: “Don’t bring home people of unknown origins like this again. Look at all the chaos she caused.”
My parents obediently kept quiet.
I directly hired tech specialists to track down those who had been attacking Jade online. Most of the people who believed that post were students. Some had even screenshot the post content and shared it on social media, where it was picked up by marketing accounts and had quite an impact.

I went straight to the police filing charges

for defamation and cyberbullying against
Jade.
Everyone involved wouldn’t escape consequences. Those who maliciously attacked innocent people without verifying the truth needed to be punished. This was a lesson society should teach
them.
For those the police couldn’t handle, I would sue each one individually.
My family has money.
So many students were involved that it alarmed the principal and other school administrators. The school officials who called me those few days probably talked their lips raw.

personally debunk the rumors and announce disciplinary action against the rumor–spreaders and cyberbullies.
The involved students would record apology videos and each write a letter of apology.
As for the other non–student netizens, my legal team would handle them.
After all, Jade still wanted to finish her education at that school, so it wouldn’t be good to make things too hostile. If she didn’t want to continue, studying abroad was also an option.
