I also realized when I arrived here that there are so many people who share the same thoughts as me.

The Su family was looking for their biological daughter, but it turned out to be like a job fair at the scene.

Some could easily tell that some people were not of the right age, yet they insisted they just looked mature for their age.

I thought I had no hope of passing off as someone else, but surprisingly, I was still chosen to stay.

Along with me, two other girls were also chosen to stay.

The person who received us back then is now the one we call our mother.

She said, although she knew none of us were her biological daughters, the chance of finding her real daughter was slim, and considering all factors, she thought the three of us were good candidates and wanted to keep us as her goddaughters.

"As long as you are willing to stay, you don't need to worry about anything else. The Su family will be your guardians from now on. You will have the best of everything, including food, clothing, and education. We will also send you to the best schools for the best education."

As expected, all three of us agreed.

After all, we all came here to gain access to the resources of the Su family.

But at that time, we didn't know that there were so many foster daughters in the Su family.

And after entering the Su family, there were many rules we needed to learn.

There were set times for waking up in the morning. We had to wake up at five forty every day and be ready for breakfast on the first floor by six.

We couldn't choose our breakfast. Mother said the Su family had a dedicated nutritionist and top chefs who prepared our breakfast carefully every day, so we couldn't be picky.

Of course, I wouldn't be picky because where I lived before, I didn't even have a decent meal.

Now that I could eat well, why would I be picky?

However, one of the girls in our group, who was in the first year of junior high, was allergic to peanuts. She didn't want to eat the toast spread with peanut butter in the morning and was harshly criticized by Mother.

The girl, enduring her fear, ate a large piece of toast covered in peanut butter, and soon after arriving at school, she had an allergic reaction, her head swelling like a pig's head.

Later, that girl disappeared, the Su family's heiress went from thirteen to twelve.

I became the oldest among this group of heiresses.

Afterward, when someone asked about the whereabouts of that girl, Mother's tone carried a hint of sadness: "Her health wasn't suitable. Being a foster daughter in the Su family requires toughness. We revoked the adoption procedures and sent her back to the orphanage."

Everyone present held their breath involuntarily.

No one wanted to be sent back to their previous life.

Since then, I became even more cautious.

Because I had the best academic performance, I received better treatment at home, and many times, my words carried almost as much weight as Mother's.

However, that didn't mean I wouldn't face consequences.

With that in mind, I tightly gripped the report card in my hand.

Thankfully, I once again ranked first this time. Next month, I have to participate in a math competition. If I can win another gold medal, Father will surely reward me.

I must secure my position in the Su family and not allow myself to be overshadowed among the dozen heiresses.
