And now, someone was using the necklace my grandmother gave to Jade to claim kinship with us.
I wasn’t sure if all the details in my
memory were accurate.
But if it was a dream, then Jade was never
switched.
If it wasn’t a dream, then I had indeed switched my sister back that Christmas.
“Where is that girl?” I asked.
“Your father and I have placed her in the house on Long Island,” Lily said quietly.
I frowned. “Have you done a paternity test? Why did you just place her in our

Although I was certain Jade was my real sister, my memories from when I was five weren’t necessarily accurate. Only a paternity test would provide the strongest proof.
“Here’s what we’ll do,” I quickly came up with a plan. “We’ll arrange to meet with that girl who’s claiming kinship as soon as possible and get a paternity test done with her. Until the results come out, there’s no need to let Jade know about this.”
No one would want to see a loved one they lived with day and night doubt whether they shared blood relations.
My parents agreed with this plan.

I had originally thought only my parents and I knew about this, but the very
next day, someone called me. “Jessie, something’s happened!”
I was very worried.
It was Sunday, and I should have been resting, but I couldn’t.
Generally speaking, college students don’t get their parents called to school, but today was an exception.
Jade had gotten into a fight at school.
The person who told me this news was Jade’s friend, who said Jade didn’t want Mom and Dad to know.
The fact that my well–behaved sister had

I carefully checked her body and found she wasn’t really hurt, just that her knuckles were a bit red.
“How did you get into a fight?”

She complained loudly, “Jessie, Aron Clayton is cheating on you with girls from our school!”
Aron was my fiancé.
That’s when I spotted the man I hadn’t seen in over a week in the crowd.
I come from a top–tier wealthy family. Pursuing love purely without considering the other person’s family background and personal circumstances is unrealistic.

Aron’s face still showed anger. “Jessie, don’t listen to Jade’s nonsense. I was just giving a friend a ride to school.”
“What kind of friend would be all over you and wearing your suit jacket?” Jade was no longer playing the victim—she stood with her hands on her hips, fiercely berating Aron. “How old are you? And what exactly is she to you? Hooking up with college girls–have you no shame? If you dare betray Jessie, I’ll…”
I remained silent.
My well–behaved sister seemed possessed by something, looking ready to strike Aron again.
“Is she a friend from one of your wealthy families? Why haven’t I met her before?” I Tooked again at the girl beside Aron

Someone you’ve only shared one meal with can be a friend, and a girl you’re intimate with can also be a friend.

I had no intention of calling out Aron’s lie, but Jade seemed unconvinced by his explanation.
“What kind of friend can be so intimate with you? You’re cheating but won’t admit it–are you even a man?”
It was clear that Jade disapproved of Aron’s relationship with me.
When Aron and I first decided to get engaged, she had opposed it too.
Before our engagement, Aron was a notorious playboy.

well that given our families‘ relationship, even if this escalated, his family would advise him to let it go.
Moreover, he was clearly in the wrong here.
I was giving him face by not making a scene in public, but that didn’t mean this
atter didn’t need to be resolved.
“Resolve it?” Unexpectedly, Aron’s face still showed anger as he pointed at Jade and said, “Unless she apologizes to me!”
