After the Fake Heiress Jumped into the Sea
On the day of my birthday, the fake heiress threw herself into the sea to commit suicide.
She left behind a suicide note, saying she wanted to return my place to me.
Already treading on thin ice in this family, I was instantly plunged into hell.
My parents hated me: "We already let you enjoy a life of luxury and wealth in the Valerius Family, can't you even tolerate her?!"
My brother resented me: "You were raised like a savage in the orphanage and are not worthy of the Valerius Family at all. It was Sera who begged us to bring you back. How can you be so ungrateful!"
They never mentioned that the so-called life of luxury and wealth was just living in the Valerius Family as Seraphina Valerius's maid and follower.
After Seraphina Valerius begged for me to come back, she would secretly beat, curse, and humiliate me.
In any matter, they would unconditionally side with Seraphina Valerius.
From then on, I was locked in the dog kennel in the backyard of the Valerius Family residence, and no one ever checked on me again.
That winter, the servants found it too cold and didn't come out to feed me, so I survived by eating snow to fill my stomach.
My already fragile stomach was irritated, and I developed a high fever.
This ordeal lasted for an entire night, and I finally lost consciousness.
I don't even know if I died from the fever or from the cold.
And not long after I died, Seraphina Valerius returned.
