The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

I hugged the child tightly, as if I was holding the whole world. The child's little face was still covered with tears. I kissed his forehead again and again with heartache, "Baby, my baby, it's okay, it's okay..." Lawrence Lu held me and the child in his arms. His chest was warm and strong, as if it could dispel all fear.

Morrison was taken away, and the police cordoned off the scene and began an investigation. The butler was commended by the police for his heroic actions, but he simply smiled and said it was his duty. I know that he has always been concerned about the Lu family and every little detail of this family.

For the next few days, Lu Yuxuan and I stayed by the child's side, fearing any further accidents. Although the child was frightened, fortunately, he was not injured. Under my careful care, he gradually regained his former lively and lovely self.

The police investigation has been ongoing. They found many clues from Morrison’s mobile phone and residence. One of the clues pointed to an unexpected person - my stepmother!

I couldn't believe my ears. That seemingly kind and gentle stepmother was the mastermind behind this? But why did she do this? Was it just jealousy and greed?

As the investigation deepened, the truth gradually surfaced. It turned out that my stepmother had long been eyeing the Lu family's property. She first designed to marry my father, and then tried every means to cause conflict between me and Lu Yuxuan, with the goal of taking the Lu family's property for herself.

Morrison was the accomplice found by my stepmother. He owed a huge debt due to business failure. With no other options, he agreed to my stepmother's conditions and helped her kidnap my child to threaten Lu Yuxuan.

The moment I learned the truth, I felt extremely angry and disgusted. I never thought that people's hearts could be so sinister! Lawrence Lu and I decided that we must bring my stepmother to justice and make her pay for her actions!

I took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil within me. The evidence was irrefutable, and the police quickly arrested my stepmother on suspicion of kidnapping. During the police interrogation, she initially denied the charges, but faced with the irrefutable evidence, she was ultimately forced to give in to her hypocritical facade.

Upon learning the truth, my father was devastated. He could never have imagined that the person beside him could harbor such malicious intentions. Looking at my father's haggard face, I felt a mixture of sympathy for him and resentment at his poor judgment of people.

To help my father recover from his trauma, Lu Yuxuan and I decided to temporarily put aside our grudges and begin repairing this broken family. I moved back into the Lu family's old house and spent every day chatting and walking with my father, trying to ease his worries. Lu Yuxuan also put aside company matters and took my father on a relaxing trip, hoping he could soon recover from his trauma.

The child is innocent and shouldn't have to pay for the mistakes of adults. Lu Yuxuan and I doubly pampered him, telling him stories, playing games with him, taking him to the playground, and doing everything we could to make up for the hurt he'd suffered during this time. The child smiled more often, and his innocent eyes seemed to have never been clouded.

Meanwhile, Lawrence Lu's company gradually returned to normal thanks to his efforts. He decisively addressed remaining issues within the company, decisively abandoning some unprofitable projects and focusing his efforts on more promising new businesses. With his business acumen and keen market insight, the company quickly returned to profitability and saw its business flourish.

Life seemed to be back on track. Sunlight streamed into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and everything seemed so peaceful and beautiful. My design studio had officially opened, and Lawrence Lu gifted me a building in the busiest part of the city center. He said, "Lolo, go and realize your dreams."

I named my studio "Rebirth," symbolizing the love between Lu Yuxuan and me, and the rebirth of our family of three after enduring hardships. My design philosophy incorporates my understanding of life and living, and each piece is full of vitality and hope, quickly becoming a sensation in the fashion world.

From my humble beginnings to my current fame, I've faced countless doubts and challenges, but I persevered. I know my success is inseparable from Lu Yuxuan's support and encouragement, and even more so, my dedication and passion for my dream.

Watching the models on the catwalk wearing my designs and confidently showcasing their unique charm, my heart was filled with pride and honor. I knew that I had finally realized my dream and found my own stage.

However, every night, in the stillness of the night, I would still be awakened by nightmares. The image of the child being kidnapped, Morrison's hideous face, and the stepmother's sinister eyes were like thorns that pierced my heart and prevented me from sleeping.

I know that some pains may never be healed in a lifetime, but I will still face life bravely, because I know that I have a family who loves me and a design career that I love, and my life is still full of hope and light.

On a sunny afternoon, I sat by the French windows of my studio, a cup of tea, a ray of sunshine, my thoughts dancing with the notes on the staff. I was conceiving a new design theme for next season's Fashion Week. The atmosphere in the studio was relaxed and cheerful, the assistants working busily and methodically, everything was so orderly.

At this time, assistant Xiao Ai came in with a letter. "Sister Luoluo, here is a letter for you, but it's unsigned."

I took the envelope, and a faint scent of perfume hit my nose. It was a perfume I had never smelled before, strange and weird.

I opened the envelope and found only a thin piece of letter paper with a line of words written on it in black pen:

"Do you think it's all over? You are so naive!"

That brief sentence was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing all the warmth and hope in my heart. As the letter slipped from my fingers, my heart sank, and a chill shot up from my feet to my head.

Who was it? Who sent this letter? Could it be that my stepmother, still in prison, is seeking revenge against me? Or is there someone else behind the scenes, watching us from the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike?

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind. Fear and anxiety wrapped around me like vines, making it almost impossible to breathe. I realized that the danger had not truly passed. A bigger storm might be quietly approaching...
