In Arcton City.
At 2 o'clock in the morning.
Cecilia Geoffrey was delivering takeout. While waiting at the traffic lights, she saw a sedan hit by a truck that had run the red light on the road. The sedan flew dozens of meters away and fell to the ground.
The car was severely deformed, and its glass was broken. There was a faint smell of gasoline, and it could explode at any time.
Before recovering from the shock, Cecilia got off her electric motorbike and ran straight over to save the man.
Prostrating on the ground, she reached out and patted the face of the man covered in blood in the driver's seat. "Hey, wake up. The car is about to explode. Come out quickly!"
Seeing that the man did not respond, Cecilia poked her head into the car, untied the man's seat belt, and tried to drag him out, but his legs were stuck.
After Cecilia shook him a few times, the unconscious man said weakly, "Help me."
"I can't pull you out."
Cecilia pulled him hard, but his legs were stuck tightly. No matter how hard she tried, it was useless.
The smell of gasoline was getting stronger and stronger, and the danger was increasing. Cecilia let go of him and casually made an excuse, "Sorry, I have to deliver the takeout. If I'm late, my salary will be deducted."
Cecilia wanted to save him, but she feared losing her life.
"Save me. I'll give you 100 million."
Although the man was in a coma, he wanted to survive.
"100 million?"
When Cecilia heard this, her eyes lit up. She glanced at his car. It was a Ferrari.
He was indeed a rich man.
His promise should be true.
"There is a lifting jack in the trunk." The man covered in blood struggled to open his eyes. He wanted to remember the woman's appearance, but the blood flowed into his eyes and blurred his sight.
"Okay."
In a hurry, Cecilia immediately ran to open the trunk and found the jack. She pushed it between the seat and the center console. Then she dragged the man out.
After they had walked two or three meters, they heard a loud bang. The car exploded, and the airflow hit them heavily on the ground. The man fell into a coma.
Cecilia was so scared that her face was pale. She patted her chest and said, "It was so dangerous just now..."
After a while, she dragged the man on her electric motorbike. She tied the man with her with ropes and drove to the hospital.
Through the payment window, the cashier asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is..."
She was about to say her name but was interrupted by the cashier. "Ah, you are the daughter of our dean. Your name is Erin Gosse, right?"
Erin Gosse was her twin sister.
They had the same face and height, but their fate was completely different.
Cecilia was taken away when she was born and sold to her adoptive parents.
But a month ago, her adoptive parents had an accident and were seriously injured. Thus, she needed a large amount of money to pay the treatment fee.
At this time, her biological parents suddenly appeared and said that they could help her adoptive parents. But Cecilia had to do a bone marrow transplant for the youngest son, who had leukemia in the Gosse family. In addition, she couldn't show her face, which was exactly the same as Erin's.
Her biological mother, Lesley Carey, said, "Erin is proficient in many aspects, and she is also the most beautiful woman in Arcton City. But you are just a country girl. We won't let you ruin Erin's reputation."
In order to cure her adoptive parents, Cecilia accepted the requirements.
Today, it was late at night when she delivered the takeout, so she didn't put on makeup. She didn't expect to be recognized.
Since she had accidentally entered her biological father's hospital, she could only admit that she was "Erin Gosse" and paid 5,000 for the operation fee with Erin's name.
After everything was done, she went back to her rental apartment to take a shower. When she washed her clothes, she found a black diamond ring in her pocket.
Cecilia didn't think much about it. She put the ring on the table and wanted to rest for a while on the bed.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
She opened the door with slippers, and Erin pushed the door open and walked in.
"Why are you here..."
Before Cecilia could finish her sentence, she was slapped by Erin. "Cecilia, have you forgotten what I told you?"
Erin, tall and slender, had long black hair hanging down her shoulders. She slightly put makeup on her delicate and beautiful face. She was noble, and her beauty made people moved.
Compared to Erin, Cecilia was wearing cheap pajamas and slippers, and there was a huge difference between them.
Cecilia was so angry that she slapped Erin in the face.
She had no choice but to be bullied by her biological parents to save her adoptive parents. However, she was never a person whom anyone would bully.
With the sound of the slap, Erin screamed, "Cecilia, how dare you hit me?"
Cecilia used more strength than Erin, so Erin's cheek was slightly swollen.
Cecilia shook her painful hand and frowned slightly. "I'm not your mother. Do you think that I'll spoil your domineering character?"
"You took a man to my dad's hospital late at night. If this gets out, it will ruin my reputation, understand?"
Erin, whose face was flushed with anger, pointed at Cecilia and said, "When you came to Arcton City, I warned you not to show off with my face. Don't you want your adoptive parents to live?"
If someone hadn't told her father this morning, Erin would have been kept in the dark.
"Your face?"
Cecilia laughed at herself, her eyes full of sadness.
It was so unfair that she couldn't show up with her appearance.
At this time, Erin's cell phone rang.
She walked to the side to answer the phone. With a glance, she saw the black diamond ring on the table.
She felt familiar with the diamond ring.
"Mommy, what's the matter?" she asked.
"Erin, when did you save Lord Hobson? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Just now, someone from the Hobson family came and said they wanted to see you in a week."
