"My mom treated you well. You, an adopted daughter, and my husband enjoyed the same treatment. What are you dissatisfied with? How could you be so cruel as to harm them!"
She got more and more agitated, constantly pushing the camera into my face.
I wanted to push her away. Seeing she was pregnant, I took a deep breath and held back.
"I don't know who you are, but please leave here as soon as possible."
She yelled that I should return everything. Otherwise, she would expose my true face to everyone.
My mother's burial ceremony was interrupted, and I felt a surge of anger.
Ignoring my elbow injury, I protected the ashes with one hand and blocked the camera with the other.
Lowering my voice, I said, "Who sent you? I'll pay double. You just want money, right."
I had never seen her before, but she called my name as soon as she started. And she was live-streaming the whole time.
I suspected she was hired by a rival company to discredit me.
After all, it was the new product launch. Once it hit the market, it would mean billions in profits.
She directly pushed me away, shouting sharply. "Fine, you don't admit it, right? You don't know me? I will show you who I am! I have evidence!"
The people behind her immediately stepped forward. They took out a tablet and started showing photos.
"My husband is the eldest son of the Murphy family! These are photos of him and me and our marriage certificate!
"How can the legitimate eldest son not inherit the family property and let an adopted daughter inherit instead?
"You, a tag-along, should just live quietly and wait to die!"
Looking at these photos, I laughed in anger.
The person in the photos was indeed my brother, but only to outsiders.
He was the son of my mom's second husband, Owen Murphy.
He had no blood relation to my mom!
Moreover, my mom signed an agreement before her marriage stating that all her assets would belong to me!
The real tag-along was Owen, who was uneducated for years. He only knew how to drink, gamble, and indulge in vices, and especially loved messing around with women.
There were at least ten women like Ruby, pregnant and claiming they had a marriage certificate.
All these marriage certificates were bought by Owen! They were not real.
All these women believed Owen's nonsense about having contacts in the Civil Affairs Bureau, so they didn't need to get the certificate themselves.
