My sister and I were reborn on the day we were adopted from the orphanage.
In the director’s office stood two families, the Daughertys and the Burkes.
The three members of the Daugherty Family were all dressed impeccably.
The man was in a suit, and the woman was decked out in fine jewelry.
Their only son, Cayden Daugherty, was wearing a high school uniform but had on a pair of limited-edition collaboration sneakers.
This was the most prominent Daugherty Family in J City. Mr. Daugherty was a business tycoon whose companies contributed significantly to J City’s tax revenue, while Ms. Daugherty was a socialite often seen at jewelry auctions and charity galas, mingling with top celebrities.
Their son, Cayden Daugherty, was referred to as the prince of Jiangcheng.
In contrast, the Burkes looked rather shabby.
The man and woman both bore marks from manual labor, and although they were likely wearing their best clothes, there were still stains from sweat.
According to the director, the couple worked at Jiangcheng No.1 High School, the husband as a maintenance worker and the wife as a cleaner.
In my previous life, my sister Asia chose the Daugherty Family without hesitation.
But now, she threw herself into the cleaner’s embrace as if afraid to fall behind:
"Mom, take me away! I want to be your daughter!"
"From now on, I’ll be called Asia Burke!"
As my sister excitedly spoke, I walked over to the Daugherty Family.
Thus, the choices were made, and we were taken away by our respective families.
Leaving the orphanage, I heard the director muttering in puzzlement:
"Strange, Asia is usually so picky and ambitious. In the past, she wouldn’t even look at prospective adoptive parents who dressed normally."
"This time, a real wealthy family came, yet she didn’t choose them. Why?"
The director didn’t understand why.
But I understood.
In my previous life, my sister went to great lengths to be adopted by the Daugherty Family and became Asia Daugherty.
She thought she would live like a little princess.
Not to mention, she would have Cayden, the prince of J City, as her older brother.
You know, a wealthy young master and an adopted daughter is a common trope in romance novels, and living under the same roof can easily lead to feelings developing over time.
However, Asia never expected that Cayden was not only devoid of any brotherly tenderness but was also extremely repulsed by her:
"I hate sycophants the most in my life. Don’t think I can’t see through you, you scheming mind. Aren’t you after our family’s money?"
At home, Cayden bullied Asia.
At school, he led a group of followers to torment her.
Even if the Daughertys knew about it, they would at most give mild reprimands.
They didn’t particularly like Asia. They adopted her simply because a soothsayer told Mr. Daugherty that adopting a daughter would bring him good luck for the next ten years.
Between an adopted daughter and their biological son, the Daughertys naturally favored their biological son.
While Cayden bullied Asia, he was very kind to me, who was adopted by the Burkes.
He saw me receiving scholarships, topping my classes, attending school during the day, and helping my mother clean at night, enduring hardships without complaint.
"Destiney Burke, this girl, is quite interesting."
Just like in idol dramas, a rebellious rich young master fell in love with a persevering poor girl.
Later, when the Daughertys passed away, during the division of the estate, Cayden brought in a team of lawyers, and Asia was left with nothing, not a penny of the inheritance.
A few months later, Cayden married me.
He even openly declared at the wedding, "Destiney, everything I have is yours now."
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to enjoy Cayden’s wealth.
Because a few days later, Asia, driven to madness and despair, ran me over with her car.
Back in this life, my sister chose the Burkes without hesitation.
Though they didn’t have vast wealth, there was no scheming or intrigue, and she could enjoy the unconditional love of her parents and grow up in a happy family.
She would be cherished and protected by a wealthy young master due to her background, ultimately leading to a fairy tale wedding.
She smiled at me and said:"Sis, this time, it’s my turn to be the heroine of the romantic drama."
"You, you should experience what I’ve been through."
