A Hidden Trillionaire novel Chapter 2

Before I could react, a young girl grabbed my hand. "Sister, are you my sister? I'm Sienna."

Sienna?

When I received the phone call from the Byers family to recognize me, I had already done a bit of research into the situation.

It was simple yet dramatic, the Byers family's maid had given birth at the same time as Mrs. Byers.

The maid, envious of the Byers children being born with silver spoons, couldn't bear to see her own child suffer.

So, she deliberately swapped me with Sienna…

I was lost in thought when Sienna, seeing that I hadn't moved, quickly called for a servant to bring an ice pack to soothe the cheek where I had been slapped.

She kept talking to herself as she did so.

"Sister, please don't blame Mom and Dad. They love you, but sometimes they're too strict. I'm sure you didn't mean to freeload."

Caleb Byers sighed. "Sienna, you're too kind. You don't know how many bad people there are in this world..."

Hearing this, Sienna became upset.

"Brother, how can you say that about Sister? She's innocent! It's all my fault. If Mom hadn't accidentally swapped Sister and sent her away, how could she have suffered so much all these years?"

"But I… I've lived a life of luxury. Everything I have is what I took from Sister. If it weren't for me, Sister would have stayed at home. I'm the one who's been freeloading. So…"

As Sienna spoke, she suddenly knelt down.

"If Mom and Dad want to punish Sister, then they should punish me instead. I deserve to take her place!"

I was stunned for a moment.

After struggling all these years, it was the first time someone had been so kind to me. I couldn't help but wonder, was it really true that the Byers family loved me as deeply as Sienna claimed?

Were they really just strict because they cared?

But before I could think it through, Mr. Byers became even angrier.

"I raised you, I know your heart is pure better than anyone! Even if you starved, you'd never do something like freeloading!"

"Look at your sister—she's perfectly healthy. How could she ever end up starving?"

At that thought, I gave up on the idea of leaving.

Instead, I obediently stayed, not putting up any resistance, and directly went to sleep in Sienna's former bedroom.

I spent about half a year at home, living lazily.

The three of them didn't treat me well, but their attitude was definitely better than when I first arrived.

At least they began to treat me somewhat like their daughter. I believed that, given time, our relationship could improve further.

The one who treated me the best was still Sienna.

Not only did she treat me well at home, but she even offered to take me to work at the Byers family company.

Mr. and Mrs. Byers initially refused, but they couldn't resist Sienna's persistent pleas. She even cried and said, "If you don't agree, I'll leave and never come back."

With that, I successfully entered the Byers family's small company and started working as a secretary alongside Sienna for Mr. Byers.

However, I didn't have to do anything. Sienna took care of everything for me.
