Magic 107

Chapter 107 

The scene was caused by Sheryl Byron, the one who had taken Lucinda’s place as the Byron family’s heiress for 20 years, enjoying a life of luxury. 

Valerie had heard Lucinda mention her before. Even though Lucinda had been reunited with her parents, her relationship with Sheryl was tense. 

Even if Sheryl lacked the Byron family’s genes, she had still been raised by Lucinda’s parents for 20 years. 

When the truth about the switched daughters came to light, the caretaker involved had fled overnight in fear. 

Due to years of affection and guilt, Wayne Byron and Carmilla Hopps couldn’t bring themselves to drive Sheryl out. 

After recognizing Lucinda as their real daughter, they even publicly announced that Sheryl would remain the second daughter of the Byron family, with equal treatment as their biological child. 

Valerie wasn’t surprised by the family’s decision. After all, a 20–year bond couldn’t be severed 

so easily. 

What she hadn’t expected was that Sheryl would be the ultimate fake, a queen in the battlefield of hypocrisy. 

Just moments ago, Valerie and Lucinda had been sitting and chatting casually when a cup juice came flying over out of nowhere, drenching Lucinda.

Before Valerie could even process what had happened, Lucinda had already stood up, walked over, and slapped the culprit hard across the face. 

Then, the culprit started crying. 

Tears streamed down her cheeks as if she were a tragic, pitiful heroine in a classic drama, 

Sheryl’s sobs quickly drew a crowd of onlookers, and soon enough, her soon–to–be partner showed up as well. 

Without asking what had happened, the man began yelling at Lucinda, “Lucinda, you’re unbelievable! Do you even know how many times you’ve bullied Sheryl already? 

“Don’t think I won’t do anything to you just because you’re the Byron family’s real daughter! Ever since you shamelessly forced your way back into the Byron family, do you have any idea

how much Sheryl has suffered because of you?” 

2/2 

The man protectively pulled the still–sobbing Sheryl into his arms, instantly adopting a softer tone. “Sheryl, don’t cry. Did that troublemaker bully you again? Don’t worry, I’m here. She won’t dare touch you.” 

Then, he turned back to Lucinda with a glare. “Apologize to Sheryl right now. 

Valerie turned to Lucinda. “Who’s this idiot who looks like a donkey?” 

Lucinda calmly wiped the juice off her clothes with a napkin. “Gareth Bowen. Before I was even born, the Byron family arranged an engagement between our families.” 

Valerie immediately understood what Lucinda meant. 

If Sheryl hadn’t taken Lucinda’s place, the one destined to marry this idiot would have been 

Lucinda. 

Valerie shuddered dramatically. “I can’t accept that my best friend’s other half was going to be someone whose brain and common sense are both permanently under maintenance.” 

Lucinda, who had been in a foul mood, couldn’t help but laugh. “And you call me sharp- tongued? You’re still the best at venomous wit.” 

The two of them continued chatting as if no one else existed, completely ignoring Gareth and Sheryl. 

Meanwhile, Gareth yelled, “Lucinda! I told you to apologize to Sheryl! What are you waiting 

for?” 

Lucinda rolled her eyes. “I’m sorry, 

but I have no interest in conversing with dogs.” 

Gareth was furious. “Who are you calling a dog?” 

Lucinda smirked. “Whoever answered me is the dog.” 

He roared, “Lucinda, you’ve got some nerve!” 

Sheryl quickly clung to him, putting on her pitiful act again. “Forget it, Gareth. Lucinda has hated me for a long time. The fact that she only slapped me once this time means I got off easy.
