When the Fake Heiress Ate Her Words Chapter 05

The moment I finished speaking, the room fell completely silent. Everyone’s eyes locked onto the video

On the dimly lit, shaky footage on screen, the woman was unmistakably Claire.

“This-” Claire frantically closed the video, her fingers trembling, eyes wide with shock. “Impossible How

is this possible? The person in the video can’t be me. I didn’t…”

She shook her head frantically, as if her world had just shattered. I silently thanked the rebound system as tears slid down my cheeks. “Claire, you accused me of spreading rumors, but you’ve been falsely

accusing me this whole time.”

I then deliberately turned to Mom and Dad, who stood frozen in place, my voice breaking. “It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been kidnapped all those years ago, maybe you wouldn’t be so quick to believe the worst

of me.

“The moment that video started playing, you didn’t even look at the face before deciding it was me.” I

paused and covered my face with my hands, sobbing.

“Amanda, I-” Dad seemed to snap out of it and looked at the red mark on my face with some guilt. “I was

too impulsive. I shouldn’t have hit you.”

Mom squeezed my hand sympathetically and looked at Claire with deep disappointment. “Claire, what is going on here? You kept saying Amanda was sleeping around with men, that she was doing shameful

things.

“But these thugs were all in bed with you. And those chat logs, photos, even videos. Just how… how could you have the nerve to frame Amanda?”

Claire’s face went deathly pale, her eyes red and swollen. “I-I didn’t… Mom, listen to me! These men have nothing to do with me! The person in the video isn’t me either!”

Dad roared impatiently. “After all this, you’re still denying it! Claire, after doing so many disgraceful things, you’re no longer fit to be a daughter of this family!”

Claire’s eyes widened in panic. Ethan’s head snapped up. “Dad, do you even hear what you’re saying?”

He pulled Claire protectively into his arms and glared at me furiously. “Everything that happened today is obviously your doing, Amanda! You’ve just been back, and you’ve already done all of this to Claire!”

He turned to plead with Mom and Dad. “Mom, Dad, don’t let her fool you! We’ve watched Claire grow up

She’s always been well-behaved. She would never do those things!

“But Amanda has been out there all these years. She’s obviously picked up all kinds of bad habits and deliberately framed Claire!”

Upon hearing this, Claire started crying right on cue. “Mom, Dad, I really don’t know how any of this happened. But if Amanda doesn’t want me here, I’ll leave right now. After all, I’m not your biological

daughter anyway.”

She deliberately gave Mom and Dad a pitiful look and made a show of trying to get up. The next second, she collapsed weakly.

Mom had raised her for over a decade. She immediately rushed to support her. “Claire, we’re not trying to drive you away. You’re our daughter. You don’t need to go anywhere. Just lie down and rest. We just want to understand what’s really going on here.”

Mom’s gaze shifted back to me, as if waiting for an explanation. I found it laughable. All of this was Claire’s doing, and they wanted me to explain?

I had nothing to explain. But I could give them something else.

I smiled slightly and turned toward the doorway. A group of doctors in white coats appeared.

Mom and Dad looked at the lead doctor in confusion. “Dr. Langford, what brings you here?”

Dr. Langford smiled warmly. “I’m here to congratulate you! Yesterday I ran some blood work for Ms. Claire, and the results are in. Ms. Claire is pregnant!”
