Chapter 2

Aurora didn't care about such a family at all. If she could choose, she would rather return the blood that flowed in her veins back to them.

In her previous life, she was left at the amusement park entrance by her brother, quickly got lost, and was almost taken by human traffickers. Fortunately, she met a teacher and narrowly escaped.

The few people in the living room were stunned for a moment when they saw that Aurora seemed determined to leave, then exchanged glances.

They didn't believe that Aurora would really sever ties with them. After all, her original life couldn't compare to the Johnson family's life. Even the house she lived in wasn't as good as the Johnson family's maid's quarters.

Seeing that Aurora was really about to leave, Bianca finally stood up from the sofa, pretended to run towards the door, and reached out to grab her:

"Aurora, don't be like this. I didn't mean to compete with you for this spot. As long as you don't leave, I'll agree to anything. Don't argue with your brothers, or mom and dad will be heartbroken."

Aurora stopped, turned around, and frowned at the hand on her arm, then looked up at Bianca's face.

She clearly saw a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Bianca, with her back to the others on the sofa, had a look of triumph that no one else could see. She was doing it on purpose.

On the surface, she pretended to be understanding, but in reality, she took all the benefits.

In the past, Aurora would have exposed Bianca on the spot, but now she wouldn't. After all, these people wouldn't believe her no matter what she said.

"Bianca, isn't this exactly what you want? Why are you pretending to be a good person?"

Aurora sneered and looked at the people behind Bianca, continuing to sneer, "Since you can agree to anything, why don't you explain what you've done? Do you dare?"

Bianca's face turned a bit ugly, and her body suddenly went limp as if she was about to collapse. Fortunately, Aiden walked over in time to support her.

"Aurora, did you misunderstand something? I've never done anything to wrong you. Why are you so hostile towards me? What did I do wrong? Tell me, and I'll change."

Bianca leaned on Aiden's shoulder, trying to cry but no tears came out. Her acting was terrible, but the Johnson family members all glared at Aurora.

"No need, I can't accept your apology. You're just pretending to be pitiful to really drive me out of the Johnson family. Don't worry, I'll leave on my own."

Aurora couldn't be bothered to argue with Bianca. She was sick of hearing Bianca's words.

"Chase, please persuade Aurora. If she really doesn't like me, I'll leave. After all, she's the real daughter of the Johnson family, and I'm just a fake."

Bianca started to wipe her tears again. Her mother, Sophia Brown, couldn't stand it anymore and walked over to hug her, gently patting her back.

"Bianca, don't be sad. As long as I'm here, no one can drive you away. I say you're the Johnson family's daughter, and you are."

"That's right, Bianca. Don't listen to Aurora. She's just being petty."

Chase chimed in.

Bianca didn't say anything, just leaned on Sophia's shoulder and subtly curled her lips.

So what if Aurora was the biological daughter? The Johnson family still revolved around her. No one could take anything from her, not even something she didn't want.

"I don't have time to watch you perform your mother-daughter act. I'm really touched. When you're done, don't forget to sign the agreement."

Aurora impatiently looked at Sophia, arms crossed. When she was first found by the Johnson family, they urged her to bring her passport. Now that she wanted to leave, it was really troublesome.

"Aurora, stop saying sarcastic things. Bianca has been with us all these years, being filial and bringing us joy. What about you? What were you doing then?"

Sophia frowned at Aurora, paused, and continued, "Bianca took care of us all these years in your place. She just wants you to give her a spot on a show as compensation, and you want to sever ties with us? You're too selfish."

"You owe her, not me. If you want to compensate, do it yourself. Don't threaten me. Besides, you've taught Bianca everything over the years. I haven't learned anything."

Aurora's words successfully left Sophia speechless, but she couldn't do anything about it. After all, the Johnson family did owe her.

Her father, Eli Johnson, who had been silent, looked even more displeased, his brows furrowed tightly, and asked coldly:

"Do you mean you hate us?"

"When you got lost, we were devastated. Otherwise, we wouldn't have adopted Bianca, and we wouldn't have been searching for you all these years. Are you saying we were wrong?"

Bianca bit her lip at the mention of adoption, her hatred for Aurora growing. She paused before saying:

"Aurora, don't be like this. Mom and Dad care about you. I know I'm your replacement. Now that you're back, I have no reason to stay in this family. I'll give Mom, Dad, and the brothers back to you."

Aurora felt nauseous watching Bianca pretend to cry and quickly waved her hand to interrupt her, "Can you stop pretending? I'm afraid I'll really throw up."

Then she turned to Eli and pointed at the bank card on the table, "This contains all the money you gave me in the past year. I also saved some money in it, as rent and living expenses for the past year."

"Aurora, Mom and Dad have already begged you, and Bianca has given up the show. What more do you want?"

Her brother, Finn Johnson, hesitated for a moment before speaking, but his tone was noticeably softer than the others.

In the past year, Finn had been the kindest to Aurora, speaking to her the most gently, but it was all out of guilt for losing her. In reality, he was still biased towards Bianca.

In the past, she thought at least Finn cared about her. But after living another life, she saw through it all.

"If you hadn't spoken, I would have forgotten about you. When we were kids, you left me at the amusement park entrance to play games with your friends. This is all your fault. How dare you speak to me?"

Aurora turned to Finn. In this family, if others openly disliked her, Finn was the most hypocritical.

He pretended to care about her while secretly hating her. Only when it came to Bianca did he drop the act.

Finn felt uncomfortable under Aurora's gaze, subtly looked away, and muttered, "That was so long ago. I know I was wrong. Haven't I been making it up to you?"
