Chapter 5
At the press conference, I announced that my son Cory would inherit all the company’s assets and shares.
Cory stood with a wine glass in hand, talking to the company’s partners, shining like a star in the sky, with no one able to block his brilliance.
I also saw Myles, hiding in a corner, feeling out of place. Years of hard work had made his body much stronger than before, but perhaps due to his recent illness, his face still carried a hint of sickness.
I had just announced Cory as the next heir when suddenly, Rida burst in.

She took out a paternity test report she had prepared in advance and showed it to everyone.
“Wait! A few days ago, when Myles wasn’t
feeling well, I took him to the hospital for an exam, and I found out that he’s not my biological son!”
“The hospital swapped our children years ago! Cory is my son, and Myles is your child!”
“We’ve been separated for so many years, and now it’s time for me to reunite with my real
child. I demand that our children be switched
back!”
Rida’s eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Cory, looking like a mother who deeply loved
her child.

The room was in an uproar after hearing Rida’s
words.
“Is this true? Cory is Rida’s child? That’s quite a coincidence. Just as Cory was announced as the heir, Rida bursts in.”
“Even if it’s true, Felia and Brad’s efforts in raising Cory shouldn’t be forgotten. Cory’s
success today is completely thanks to the
Brads.”
One is tall, handsome, smart, and an excellent heir to the company.
The other is weak, hasn’t even attended college,
and has been ill.

Anyone would choose the former.
But amidst everyone’s gossip, I gave a slight smile and said, “Fine.”
“If it was a mistake, then let’s switch them
back.”
My words shocked the whole room.
Rida’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she was hearing, as if she hadn’t expected me to agree so quickly.
Myles, who had been silent, seemed completely stunned by the turn of events.
It was Cory who reacted first. He anxiously asked, “Mom, are you joking? I’m your son! Why

do we have to switch?”
In the face of everyone’s questioning, I replied firmly, “Cory is indeed Rida’s child.”
“I’ve known about it since he was just one month old!”
The entire room was stunned.
“How could a mother act like this? If she knew the truth all along, why didn’t she reveal it earlier? Why let her own child suffer so much in someone else’s hands?”
“She carefully helped raise someone else’s son while watching her own child endure abuse.”
“Such a woman is terrifying! Compared to

Rida, who wanted her child to have a better
education, Felia’s actions don’t even deserve to be called motherly!”
The looks in everyone’s eyes were filled with disgust and reproach.
But I remained calm.
Cory, tears in his eyes, shook his head repeatedly, pleading for me to tell him that
what I had just said was a lie.
Myles, filled with rage, glared at me and
shouted.
