After a full day and night of adjustment, Maisy finally recognized the reality of her situation. She had lost all desire to live.
But now, even death felt like an impossible luxury.
Refusing to eat was pointless. They had her on a nutrient drip. She wouldn't admit to those things they accused her of—because if she did, she would be locked away. No one would take care of her in prison.
Only Janine could help her. Janine was her birth mother and would surely take good care of her.
That was why Maisy had asked the police to find her, hoping Janine would get her a lawyer. She could pin all her actions on others. Now, she was the victim through and through.
She was the one who had suffered. If she hadn't been switched at birth and instead grown up in the countryside, naïve and cherished by her family, none of this would have happened. She could have been a simple, naïve, and innocent woman.
She could even be the type that all those wealthy heirs would fall for.
None of this was her fault. It never had been. Her fate was rewritten before she could even choose it.
Janine was to blame, and so was Skylar. It was Skylar who had stolen her life. If she had been born as Skylar, she would be the one married to Joe.
As Maisy's thoughts spiraled, her resentment deepened. She seethed, thinking of the Williams family.
If only they had managed to keep the family together and pushed the company into the global top five hundred—but no, they went bankrupt instead. Kenny and Peter were clueless, one worse than the other.
Samuel's acting wasn't even up to par with Charles'. He won award after award and made absurd amounts of money.
Maisy gestured to a pen and a writing board beside her. She wanted Janine to know what she was thinking, but Janine glanced at the items without moving to pick them up.
Instead, she looked at Maisy with a conflicted expression and spoke slowly, "I know what you're going to say—you're denying everything you've done and want me to get you out of here, isn't that right?"
Maisy was surprised by Janine's insight. She had guessed her intentions immediately. Maisy blinked her eyes in quick agreement.
Janine nodded. "You're already in your late 20s, soon to be 30. You're an adult, Maisy. Adults have to take responsibility for their actions. You've hurt so many people and done so much wrong. It's time to own up, sincerely apologize to the families you've hurt, and not think you can escape it all."
At this, Maisy's eyes widened, her shock leaving her speechless. She could hardly believe what she had just heard.

Is the author going to finally portray Skylark as a brave woman who can argue and communicate like a normal person in this real world? Hoping so.......
I don't like this story portraying Skylark's personality as too weak, too naive, Can't even defend herself Like accepting every humiliation from Vera's schemes and injustice without saying anything or doing anything. I wonder who is the protagonist in this novel, Vera or Skylark....
