The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

The first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, but I felt no desire to sleep. The uneasiness and fear of last night still lingered in my mind. I rolled over and got out of bed to see Lawrence Lu, already dressed and sitting by the window, a document in his hand, his brow furrowed.

"What's wrong?" I walked up to him and asked softly.

“Take a look at this.” Lawrence Lu handed me the document with a heavy tone.

I took the file and found it was a few screenshots of chat logs. The sender's note was "stepmother" and the recipient was "sister." My heart suddenly jumped into my throat. Could this be...

I quickly scanned the chat logs, and the content was shocking. My stepmother had been secretly trying to sow discord between Lu Yuxuan and me. She told my stepsister to pretend to accidentally reveal Lu Yuxuan's "affair" to me, and to deliberately create the illusion of ambiguous relationships between me and other men. She even hinted at giving my stepsister a large sum of money if she could make me back down...

I was so angry that I was shaking all over. These chat records were undoubtedly solid evidence that proved that my stepmother had been doing something behind my back, and my poor stepsister was just a pawn in her hands!

"How could this happen..." I muttered to myself, unable to believe that my stepmother, who had always been kind to me, could be so cruel.

“Don’t worry, I will take care of it.” Lawrence Lu hugged me in his arms, his tone firm, “We now have evidence, and we must not let her continue to hurt you.”

"But what should we do?" I looked up at him blankly. "If these chat records are made public, my stepsister's reputation will be ruined..."

"She is also a victim." Lawrence Lu gently stroked my hair, "I will find the right time to let them mother and daughter get the punishment they deserve, but I will never harm the innocent."

"I have an idea..." I suddenly thought of something, and a cunning gleam flashed in my eyes, "Isn't this Saturday Grandpa's birthday party? All the relatives will be there, and we can make the truth public!"

Lawrence Lu frowned slightly: “Isn’t this too risky? What if…”

"Believe me." I held his hand and said firmly, "I won't let anyone push me around anymore. I want everyone to know that I'm not someone you can bully!"

Lawrence Lu looked at my determined eyes and finally nodded: “Okay, I support you. I will arrange everything and will never let you get hurt.”

In the next few days, I pretended to be calm on the surface, but secretly I worked with Lawrence Lu to collect evidence and make a careful plan. Lawrence Lu also specially hired a professional team of lawyers just in case.

I was apprehensive, anticipating the moment the truth would come out, yet also worried about the potential for a bigger uproar. But I told myself I couldn't back down. I had to stand up bravely for myself and for Lawrence Lu.

On Saturday night, I put on the dress that Lawrence Lu carefully selected for me, put on exquisite makeup, took his arm, and walked into the banquet hall confidently.

My appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I greeted everyone calmly, but my eyes kept glancing at my stepmother and stepsister. They were dressed up in fancy clothes, with fake smiles on their faces, as if nothing had happened.

"Lolo is so beautiful today!"

"Yes, Yuxuan and I are a perfect match!"

I heard endless praise from my relatives, but I found it extremely ironic.

After the party started, I followed my plan and casually mentioned, "I stumbled across some chat logs a few days ago, and the content was truly eye-opening!"

My words instantly quieted the bustling banquet hall. Everyone's eyes were fixed on me, curious and puzzled.

I took a deep breath and continued, "I realized that I had been kept in the dark the entire time, and was being played around like a fool by certain people!"

My tone gradually turned cold, and I looked directly at my stepmother: "Some people are so scheming. They pretend to be a loving mother on the surface, but they are always sowing discord behind the scenes, even taking advantage of their own biological daughter. It's really despicable!"

My words were like a bomb, exploding in the banquet hall.

The stepmother's face suddenly turned pale. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but nothing came out.

"You're talking nonsense!" My stepsister stood up suddenly, pointed at me and shouted, "What evidence do you have? You're slandering me!"

I sneered, took out the tablet computer I had prepared long ago from my handbag, and connected it to the projector in the banquet hall.

The chat records were clearly displayed in front of everyone, and every word was like a sharp knife, stabbing the stepmother and stepsister's hearts.

My stepsister slumped weakly in the chair, tears falling like beads from a broken string.

Under the accusations of everyone, she finally broke down, cried and admitted her mistake, and apologized to me: "Lolo, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have listened to my mother. I..."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and tears of regret blurred her makeup. I felt a mixture of emotions. Perhaps it was blood ties at work, but seeing her like this, I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.

Just as I was about to say something, Lawrence Lu took my hand, squeezed it gently, and with his eyes, signaled me to calm down. He stepped forward, facing the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "I hope today's incident ends here. However, I don't want it to happen again." His tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable authority that shuddered at the silence of everyone present.

I thought it was over, but at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out: "Wait! It's not over yet!"

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw a well-dressed middle-aged woman stepping out of the crowd. Who was she? Why did she speak in that tone? I immediately had a bad feeling.

The woman walked up to me, looked me up and down, and a scornful smile appeared on her lips. "Are you Lin Luoluo? Do you think you won? You are too naive!" She took out a file bag from her handbag and threw it in front of me. "Take a look for yourself!"

Puzzled, I picked up the document bag and opened it. Suddenly, I was struck by lightning. Inside was proof of my parentage! And my biological parents were actually someone else!

What on earth was going on? My mind went blank, and I couldn't think at all.

"You're not the real daughter of the Lin family. You're just an abandoned baby who was mistakenly taken away!" The woman looked at my shocked expression and said with a smug smile, "Now, what qualifications do you have to stand here?"
