Chapter 303 Shocking the Crowd 

The livestream kept exploding

Wait, who could possibly threaten and force him?” 

This situation has completely lost me.” 

I thought we were waiting for the police report. I didn’t expect it to end so suddenly.” 

Holy, does this mean Asher Lawson might be exonerated?” 

The truth came way too fast.” 

Finished 

At the venue, some reporters were still in shock, frozen in disbelief. Others quickly gathered their thoughts and began questioning Thomas from the front

Since you went to such lengths to frame Asher Lawson, does that mean that the accusation made by the victim, Shawn Austin, was also orchestrated by you?” 

This reporter was sharp. He had immediately picked up on a key point from Thomasearlier confession and connected the dots with lightning speed

If Thomas had tampered with the surveillance footage and tried to bribe Edgar, then it made no sense that he would leave the victim, Shawn, unchecked

After all, if she turned on him, everything he had done would fall apart. That wouldn’t be acceptable

And Shawn’s sudden change of testimony, her strong accusation against Asher, had always seemed a bit suspicious

Back then, people just assumed that a victim wouldn’t lie about something so serious

Even if there were doubts, no one dared to question her

But now that Thomas had admitted his crimes, Shawn’s behavior began to look much more questionable

The netizens on the livestream were immediately stirred up by the reporter’s question

No way. I don’t think Shawn would lie. She’s just a girl who got hurt.” 

If Shawn really did team up with Thomas, I might lose my mind.” 

Please let this not be true.” 

That question was brutal. Way too sharp.” 

I trust Shawn.” 

Your trust doesn’t mean much. After Thomasconfession, she’s definitely suspicious.”

Maybe Shawn should hold a press conference, too.” 

Can’t believe how many people are involved in this mess.” 

Is this some massive twist? The victim is actually the villain?” 

Finished 

英雄 

Thomas stopped when he heard the reporter’s question.. 

He lowered his gaze, hiding the look in his eyes, as if he was seriously weighing something

I didn’t have a deep relationship with Shawn. We had just made a deal

And now that I couldn’t protect myself, I had no obligation to protect her

I might as well tell the whole truth and drag her down with me

With that thought, Thomas moved his lips and spoke

I reached out to Shawn Austin. I gave her a sum of money to change her testimony and incriminate Asher Lawson. She agreed without hesitation. It was a partnership, really.” 

He gave a bitter, mocking smile, his face devoid of emotion

The whole room exploded

What Thomas had just said was even more shocking than his earlier confession. It turned upside down everything people thought they knew

The socalled victim was actually an accomplice

The livestream chat went wild

This can’t be real?!” 

Shawn, how could you?” 

The victim just became a criminal.” 

All this for money? Really?” 

Money is more important than justice now, huh?” 

Throwing away your conscience for a paycheck” 

There’s too much information in this press conference. My worldview is falling apart.” 

Shawn needs to go down too. I’m fuming.” 

Come out and apologize, Shawn!” 

Don’t jump to conclusions yet. This is just Thomasside of the story. What if he’s lying?”

Summary & Review: The Family

Jean Ginger was dead. A self-made woman who achieved financial freedom before thirty, her life was cut short in a tragic car accident. But instead of fading away, Jean woke up in an unfamiliar, overly frilly bedroom surrounded by stuffed toys. Her head throbbed as strange memories began flooding her mind — memories that weren’t hers. Within moments, Jean realized the unbelievable truth: she had transmigrated into the world of a book she once mockingly read online, The Real Heiress Awakens.

The story she remembered was an outrageously dramatic one about a poor girl named Sarah who discovered she was actually the real daughter of a wealthy family, the Gingers of Blairford. In her first life, Sarah had suffered greatly — betrayed, humiliated, and married to the wrong man. But after being reborn, she vowed to take back everything that had been stolen from her. She returned to the Gingers, exposed the impostor who had been living her life, and won over her powerful birth family and their love. Not only that, she even stole back her impostor’s fiancé — the male lead of the story.

It was a total wish-fulfillment fantasy: revenge, romance, and the triumphant rise of the “real” heiress. But for Jean, it was a nightmare — because she had been reborn as the fake heiress who loses everything by the end of the novel. Even worse, this character’s name was also Jean Ginger.

Still dazed, Jean checked herself in the mirror and nearly screamed. She wasn’t just the doomed heiress — she was thirteen years old. Her tall, elegant body was gone, replaced with short, chubby limbs and a round, childish face. On the bright side, she was years away from the events that would destroy her life. The real heiress hadn’t shown up yet.

Just as she was processing her situation, her phone pinged. It was a bank notification — $70,000 had just been deposited into her account. Jean blinked, counting the zeros again and again to make sure she wasn’t dreaming. Seventy thousand dollars. For a monthly allowance.

Her pain, confusion, and panic melted away in an instant. In her past life, she had worked herself to exhaustion for every dollar. Now she was rich — effortlessly. She didn’t have to hustle, fight, or struggle. The only thing she had to do was exist.

“Fake heiress?” she thought with a shrug. “Fine. I’ll take it.”

Jean quickly decided she wasn’t going to challenge the real heroine or get involved in any melodramatic family battles. She knew how the story would end — the Ginger family would fall into chaos, her brothers would lose their minds, and Sarah would rise as the hero who brought them down. There was no point trying to change fate. Instead, Jean made up her mind: she would relax, play the role of a harmless background character, and enjoy her wealthy lifestyle until the plot killed off the Gingers. By that time, she’d be long gone — comfortably rich, maybe even checked into a luxury psychiatric ward if that’s what it took to survive.

But peace never lasts.

Outside her room, she heard a maid calling her name, saying that dinner was ready but she hadn’t responded. Then another voice answered — calm, deep, and commanding. It belonged to Dominic Ginger, the eldest brother of the Ginger family. The moment he entered, Jean instinctively grabbed a plush bunny and held it to her chest like a shield.

Dominic was everything his reputation promised — tall, cold, and intimidating, with sharp features that could have been carved from marble. He was dressed in a sleek, tailored suit that looked more appropriate for a business meeting than a family dinner.

Jean’s eyes darted up at him. Even though she was technically his little sister now, he looked like a completely different species. She knew from the novel that Dominic was the strict, emotionless type — a perfectionist who treated family like subordinates. He was one of the five Ginger brothers who would later become antagonists in the story, each powerful and broken in their own way.

Still, Jean decided to play innocent. She widened her eyes, her pigtails bouncing, her cheeks pink, and clutched her bunny tighter. She looked like a lost doll — the perfect image of a fragile, harmless child.

Dominic’s icy voice broke the silence. “Dinner. Now.”

Jean blinked. He talks? she thought, startled. In the original story, Dominic barely spoke unless necessary. Her inner monologue continued, mocking his stiffness — but before she could stop herself, something strange happened.

Dominic’s gaze sharpened, and he responded quietly, as if answering an invisible question. “I just got back from work.”

Jean froze. She hadn’t said anything out loud. That meant — he could hear her thoughts.

Panic hit her like a truck. She quickly forced a nervous laugh and said aloud, “Oh, okay…” trying to cover her shock. But inside, her mind was spinning. What kind of weird twist was this? Was Dominic telepathic now? This wasn’t in the book!

Dominic, meanwhile, looked just as confused. His jaw tightened as he studied the small girl in front of him. He was sure he’d heard her voice in his head — clear, childish, and slightly sarcastic — but her lips hadn’t moved. It made no sense.

The tension between them filled the air. Jean tried to smile sweetly, pretending to be the clueless little sister, while her inner voice screamed at herself to stay calm. She couldn’t afford to let her thoughts run wild if her cold, powerful brother could actually hear them.

Still, beneath the fear, another thought flickered in her mind — maybe this was her chance. If Dominic could hear her thoughts, maybe she could use it to her advantage. After all, she knew the future of every character in this story. And she wasn’t going to end up in a psych ward this time.

Not if she played her cards right.

For now, though, Jean did what any smart person would do when facing a dangerously perceptive older brother who might read minds: she smiled, hugged her bunny tighter, and quietly followed him to dinner — already scheming about how to survive in this ridiculous new world where fiction had become her reality.

Because if there was one thing Jean Ginger was good at, it was surviving — and making money while doing it.
