I was replaced by my adopted daughter and died tragically. After I was reborn, I went crazy killing people.
My mom is a total badass, a real iron–fisted queen, and the richest woman in the world.

But everyone knows she has a soft spot, this one weakness: she’s fiercely protective of her daughter.
Rumor has it, if anyone messes with her girl,
she goes ballistic.
But this time, my two brothers, trying to
impress some random homeless chick, let her
pretend to *be* me.
Mom was turning the whole company over to
me, throwing this huge, fancy gala.
And this beggar, Becky, just straight–up

“Someone like you, some low–class loser,
doesn’t deserve a party this big.”
“My brothers already promised I’d take your
place, become the new head of the company.

You should just crawl back into whatever hole
you came from and stop embarrassing
yourself.”
Last time around, I was scared of upsetting my
brothers, didn’t want to ruin the family dynamic.
So, I just put up with Becky’s BS.
But then, during the company party, she framed
me as an imposter trying to steal the heiress’s
life, and Becky had her goons beat me to death.
But then I woke up.
I’d been given another chance.

Seeing Becky standing there, all smug and pleased with herself, I booted her right in the butt.
“Who do you think you are to be calling the
shots, and who gave you permission to think you deserve this kind of money?!”
- 1.

Nobody saw that coming, me fighting back, I
mean.
The guests were staring, jaws on the floor.
So, I told the butler to toss her out.
The butler looked terrified, glanced at Becky.
But then he finally decided to help her up.
“The Sullivan’s are backing Becky now. Becky is the Sullivan’s daughter. Sweetie, maybe you
Г

I glared at the butler, gave him this icy smile.
“Sullivan’s daughter? There’s only one daughter
in the Sullivan family and it’s me. There are no
Sullivan sisters, get it right.”
The butler was shaking, glancing nervously at
Becky who was fuming.
I didn’t even let him get another word out
before I kicked him.
“You’re just a butler, and you’re trying to tell me what to do? You don’t like your job, then quit.”
Last time, this old geezer ignored everything my mom said, listened only to my brothers.
He was always giving me a hard time, even
though I was the only daughter.
He was always cutting back on my allowance,

even teamed up with Becky to mess with me.
He helped have me frozen to death, and
dumped my body out in the snow.
The old butler was down on his knees, terrified and stuttering.
“It’s not fair! I was just listening to Becky. Your brothers will be angry if you do this.”
Becky, acting like she was all high and mighty, pretended to help the old butler up, acting all concerned as she scolded me.
“Liv, you’re just an adopted kid. How can you
act like this in this house!”
Becky’s friend, Ashley, was furious.
She charged at me, pointing her finger right in
my face.

“Who do you think you are, trying to pull this
crap with Becky?
Today is the day Becky takes over the Sullivan
Empire, and you’re trying to ruin it?!”
Everyone at the gala was whispering, watching
- me.
“Isn’t that the adopted girl the Sullivans took in?
What a total waste of space.”
“The Sullivan’s were worried that Becky would
be lonely, so they adopted a kid from the
orphanage to keep her company. Becky has
been so nice and giving to her.”
“Yeah, she’s just an orphan. Now she’s trying to
act big in front of Becky? She has no idea who
she’s messing with.”
I used to be so soft–hearted.

I talked my mom into adopting Becky.
My brothers just saw her pretty face and
started treating her like gold.
They always took her to events, just leaving me
standing on the sidelines.
Now, I see the truth.
My mom is a powerhouse in the business world.
My dad’s a world–famous writer.
Why should I let this fake and my idiot cousins
walk all over me?
The thought made my eyes narrow, my
expression hardening.
“Who do you think you are? Even your dad
doesn’t get a say in the Sullivan family!”
