Chapter 357 The Truth Behind the Adoption!

Chapter 357 The Truth Behind the Adoption!

Leia knew from Allison that Luke was having dinner at Blue Honors. She dressed up and wanted to surprise him with her appearance.

She did not expect that Bianca was together with him.

“What's so good about Bianca that he loved him so much? i

What made Leia even more disconcerted was that she had met Scarlett Quincy, a girl from the same orphanage.

Leia closed her eyes, trying hard not to think of those detestable memories.

Unfortunately, scenes from the past replayed in her mind like a movie.

When they were taken in by the orphanage at the same time, Leia was six years old, while Scarlett was five.

Back then, Leia was emaciated, and she did not speak much. She looked as though she came out of a refugee camp. Meanwhile, Scarlett was dressed in a puffy princess dress and wearing a tiara. She was as beautiful as an angel.

Scarlett had a good temperament, and she knew how to sing, dance, and tell stories. Every child in the orphanage, no matter girl or boy, liked her and constantly surrounded her.

Meanwhile, no one ignored the timidly and shy Leia.

Leia could not understand why Scarlett would end up in an orphanage. She should have belonged in a wealthy family, where she would be showered by love and adoration.

All she knew was that she wanted people to pay attention to her instead of Scarlett!

The six-year-old Leia looked like she was good friends with Scarlett, but she had framed Scarlett in secret: Stealing, pranking, putting bugs in the other children’s beds, setting fire to public property... She had blamed Scarlett for all those misdeeds.

Eventually, she replaced Scarlett as the most adored child in the orphanage.

Meanwhile, Scarlett was branded as a "thief" and a "problem child,” and everyone hated her. Scarlett spent her next five years in emotional violence.

One day, Jack Norman and his wife came to the orphanage to adopt a child.

Leia knew that her opportunity to change her life had come. She had to grasp that opportunity so that she could escape the orphanage.

After living there for many years, she knew that the orphanage was nothing but a charitable front with terrible living conditions. Not only did she not have a full meal, but certain good-looking children would disappear every year to be replaced by more children. That had made her wary. Leia did not understand at first what was going on. However, she accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between the warden and some strangers and found out about their underhanded dealings.

The orphanage was a charity in disguise. Actually, they were grooming girls as child brides.

Once the girls come of age, they would sell them to those bad guys.

From the conversation, Leia found out that they would groom her until she was eighteen years old, directly sell her to a wealthy man, and earn a fortune from there.

As for herself, the warden said that she would be sold in one or two years to a disabled tycoon who had a penchant for young girls...

Leia broke out in cold sweat when she heard that. She could not imagine her fate if she were to fall into that tycoon's hands.

Looking at the other innocent children and Scarlett's angelic face, Leia mocked them for being naive. They did not know what would happen to them.

That was when Leia started to plan her escape.

The opportunity finally came.

All the children were so excited that they could not sleep when they heard that Secretary Norman was coming to the orphanage to adopt one of them. They all dressed up and hoped that they would be the chosen one.

Leia was not afraid of anyone else other than Scarlett, who was prettier than her.

She might have ruined Scarlett's reputation, but she was worried that the Normans might judge them by their appearances and pick Scarlett. She was not going to let that happen!

The night before the Normans came, Leia sneaked a strong laxative into Scarlett's dinner. Scarlett suffered from serious diarrhea that night.

The next morning, Scarlett did not have the energy to get out of bed and missed the chance to be chosen by the Normans.

Without the biggest threat in her way, Leia won the hearts of the Normans with her beautiful appearance and intelligent brain. She was brought back to the Norman family house and lived the life of a princess.

The orphanage continued to exist, and she would tremble in fear every time it was mentioned. She did not expose the orphanage’s misdeeds; that was none of her business anymore.

Now, she was a Norman.

At first, she was very cautious with how she acted. She did not want her adoptive parents to hate her and send her away.

However, she realized that Queenie, her adoptive mother, was sincerely kind to her. Jack, her adoptive father, also treated her like his birth daughter.

As she eased into her role as Jack and Queenie's daughter, so did her temperament change...

A few years later, Leia got the news that the orphanage had been shut down by the police, the warden and a VIP were arrested, and all the children were transferred to another orphanage.

She had been paying attention to Scarlett in secret. After all, Scarlett was her greatest rival.

Later, she found out that Scarlett had left the orphanage and furthered her studies while working. Her quality of life outside of the orphanage was not much different from when she was inside. That was no comparison to Leia’s pampered life in the Norman household.

Scarlett became more beautiful, and Leia considered herself lucky. If she had not deployed underhanded means so that the Normans selected her, the child to be chosen would most likely be Scarlett.

No one knew that Leia had always wanted to ruin Scarlett's impeccable face.

Much later, when Scarlett was seventeen years old, she went missing...

Leia had heard that someone had violated Scarlett, which caused her to become pregnant.

For a while, she was happy about the news.

Why would Scarlett suddenly appear in Blue Honors in a waitress's uniform, and why would she be speaking to Bianca, that despicable woman?
