“Dad, you’re finally here to save me! I’ve finally managed to have my own home after living alone for so long, but sis said that I’m a lowly illegitimate daughter! She even hit me and said that I’m not worthy of living in her room. Sob, sob—”

Master Xia understood Xia Zhiwan’s personality, but he also felt guilty for leaving his younger daughter alone for so long. Besides that, he still needed to take care of Xia Zhiya’s reputation even if he was just making her stay to help the Xia family,

“Kneel!”

“Father, I—” Xia Zhiwan still wanted to explain. However, Master Xia waved his cane and hit her knee, making her kneel immediately.

“Turns out that not only you’re incompetent, you’re also rude! You don’t have the mannerisms of a lady at all! How shameless! Do you know what your younger sister’s status is now? If it wasn’t because of my personal feelings, I would have driven you out of the Xia family long ago!”

The Xia family could dominate the jewelry industry not only because of the advantages of the family’s ability but also because of their strictness in pursuing profits. In other words, the Xia family did not need any trash.

Thus, Master Xia was not pleased with Xia Zhiwan at that moment. Not to mention, Xia Zhiya was also adding fuel to the fire.

“Dad, you need to help me even the score! Even now, my face still hurts. This slap was too heavy. I really don’t know why sis hates me so much. If she dares to bully me again, I dare not stay in the Xia Family anymore—”

Xia Zhiwan tried to refute with a pale face, “I didn’t hit her on purpose. It’s because she said that mother—”

“Enough!” After hearing what Xia Zhiya said, Master Xia did not want to hear Xia Zhiwan’s excuses at all. He was only thinking about a way to comfort Xia Zhiya so she would stay.

Thus, he showed a dull expression and said to Xia Zhiya, “You’re allowed to slap her as well. Then, just calm down and forget about this matter.”

Xia Zhiya stopped crying and glanced at the dejected Xia Zhiwan. She then smiled from the corners of her lips and walked toward Xia Zhiwan slowly.

“This is the justice that dad has given me, so I can’t help it, right, sis?”

“I—” Xia Zhiwan raised her head. However, before she could even finish speaking, Xia Zhiya had already slapped Xia Zhiwan with all of her strength.

The force was so strong that it made Xia Zhiwan turn her head to the side, and the corner of her mouth split a little, causing some blood to flow out. Her whole face was aching and swollen as a bright red palm print appeared. Her fair face became flustered, while her hair was so messy that she looked like a lunatic.

A trace of satisfaction flashed across Xia Zhiya’s eyes. She shook her hand, seeming to regret that she did not manage to disfigure Xia Zhiwan’s face with that slap.

Master Xia looked at his daughters and hardened his heart. He then frowned and shook his head. “Tomorrow, I’ll issue a statement acknowledging Lil Ya’s identity. As for you… you’re still a child of the Xia family, so I can’t kick you out either. However, giving you a position in the company will cause controversy, so you’ll need to start from the bottom.”

He had a generous, compassionate expression as if he had shown mercy to her. He then ignored this incident and staggered away.

The servants who were watching were all gossiping about the incident. Some were pitying Xia Zhiwan, while some were mocking her. There were also some saying that the new Miss was favored, so they wanted to please her.

After admiring Xia Zhiwan’s embarrassing state, Xia Zhiya yawned and wiggled into He Tianhao’s arms. “Tianhao, let’s go. Seeing her in this state is hurting my eyes~”

The man laughed, embraced her affectionately, and left with her.

In the spacious corridor of the Xia residence, only Xia Zhiwan was left kneeling on the spot without moving an inch. Her face was covered by her messy hair, and she had already burst into tears long ago. The salty, bitter tears flowed through the wound on her face, and she could not close her mouth due to the pain.

The next day, the headlines were all about the Xia family.

It was about Xia Zhiya, the lady of the Xia family, who had returned to the Xia family as she had awakened the ability.

For Xia Zhiya’s sake, the Xia family had officially announced that Xia Zhiya was the Xia family’s only successor and daughter. On the other hand, Xia Zhiwan was announced as Master Xia’s illegitimate daughter.

In a short period, Xia Zhiya became glorious as she had awakened the ability. She was also about to take up the position as the Xia Corporation’s general manager.

The relatives who were disappointed in Xia Zhiwan and the corporation’s elites seemed to have found new hope in Xia Zhiya. They surrounded Xia Zhiya like hungry flies, regarding her as the true star of the jewelry industry.

On the contrary, no one cared about Xia Zhiwan anymore.

Upon seeing the news, Xia Zhiwan could only smile bitterly. She thought that her father would only give Xia Zhiya an official identity. However, she did not expect that he would be this merciless to just exchange their identities.
