They were extremely curious, unsure of what was really going on with the Nelsons. Rather than focusing on their
task, they were more interested in gossiping.
Charmaine met Leah's gaze, her expression calm. “I have no problem,” she said, her voice neutral.
Without wasting any more time, the cars started moving one by one.
On the way, Veronica called home. Her mother, Selena James, cout to greet her, smiling warmly and
offering a friendly reception.
After a quick afternoon tea, they entered Veronica's room, and several girls gasped in shock.
It turned out that the legendary Ja

incredibly wealthy.
In the heart of the city, where land was pricey, the walk-in closet alone took up an entire room!
Her family was extremely wealthy.
Veronica filmed a video as she packed up an old bag from a designer brand. Later, the group hurriedly moved on

When they arrived
at Celeste’s house, everyone was stunned.
The fountain outside was massive, and the garden stretched over 100 square meters. The sofa was over 60 feet
long, with space for 15 people to sit comfortably.
The entire house gleamed with gold, displaying wealth and extravagance in every corner.
Knowing they were there for charity work, Selena immediately rolled up her sleeves and packed two suitcases
full of clothes, cramming them to the brim.
Had Celeste not intervened, Selena would have likely packed an additional suitcase. Selena would have probably
packed another suitcase.
Veronica's face darkened with frustration.
Celeste’s riches were above her, and she had gone all out, hadn't she?
The group then debated whether to visit Leah's or Charmaine’s house first.
Someone whispered, “Wait, shouldn't they both be living in the shouse?”
“No, Charmaine doesn’t live in the Nelson mansion. Her family doesn’t seem to like her.”
“But isn’t Charmaine with Mr. Emyr? Her life should be pretty good.”
“The Crosses is the top family from the Centennial Five. Are we going to their house?”
Leah scoffed inwardly at this. She thought Charmaine was just a maid-what could she have that was impressive?

Leah imagined how embarrassing it would be for Charmaine later, and a slight smile tugged at her lips. “Let's go
to my house first. I'm sure Charmaine needs tto prepare her place. What do you think, Charmaine?”
Charmaine didn’t care at all. “Sure, no problem,” she replied.
Leah's frustration only grew.
Charmaine, just wait until you can’t keep up the act any longer!
On the way to the Nelson Mansion, the group seemed much more excited than when heading to the other
houses.
In just a few hours, rumors were already circulating on the school forum about Charmaine and Leah being
swapped at birth, the true daughters of the Nelsons, with speculation about who was the real heiress. A
mysterious insider even confirmed the story, igniting a wildfire of discussion.
“I can’t believe it! Charmaine is actually the real daughter of the Nelsons!”
“They really kept it under wraps. Just recently, during the plagiarism scandal, the Nelsons had protected Leah so

“Swapped at birth, spoiled adopted daughter, and neglected real daughter. This is the plot straight out of a
trashy romance !”
“Leah still lives in the Nelson mansion and gets chauffeured to and from school every day. Then there's
Charmaine-I've even seen her taking the bus at the start of term. It’s so pathetic.”
“Man, | used to hate Charmaine for her bad behavior, always causing trouble, but now I get it. How could you not
go crazy with disgusting foster parents and heartless biological parents?”
“Wow, Charmaine is beautiful, talented in design, and it’s all ruined because she got stuck with the wrong family.
Such a talented girl with a tragic life.”
In the car, the group was busy gossiping online. All are eager to see how tic Charmaine’s appearance at
the Nelson household will be.
Seizing the opportunity, Celeste anonymously revealed more juicy details on the forum, her fingers moving so
quickly that they left a blur on the screen. Even a programmer would have been impressed.
After typing for what seemed like ages, Celeste suddenly paused, then glanced at Leah.
“Charmaine, you might want to be careful,” she warned.
“Hmm?“Charmaine raised an eyebrow, confused.
Celeste nodded toward Leah. “Look at her calm demeanor. She's definitely up to something.”
Charmaine smirked. “Really? I'm looking forward to seeing what she’s got up her sleeve.”
