Amber remarked flatly, "That sounded so pervy."Axel's expression collapsed. He argued, "| was a brother who doted on his sister! You just don't get it!"novelbin

He took care of Alyssa for another reason. Before their mother passed away, she called the four siblings to her bed andreminded the brothers to take

care of Alyssa to the best of their ability.

He recalled Jennifer comforting them, "Don't cry. Please don't think that Mommy is not around anymore. Mommy will be in thesky, looking after you

and protecting you."He teared up at the thoughts—a lump formed in his throat.

"That was really sweet.” Amber stared at her reflection on the water, which resembled Alyssa. Her heart skipped a beat at thesight, and she hurriedly

hid the reflection with clothes. She added, "Ms. Alyssa certainly grew up in happiness.”

Despite taking on Alyssa's face, Amber knew her fate was the opposite of Alyssa’s. Alyssa was the daughter of a wealthy familywho was raised in

love and great care, unlike herself—a lookalike and a puppet.How could Jameson even think of using her as a replacement for Alyssa? What a delusional maniac!

“What about you, Ms. Altman? Where are your relatives?" Axel pretended to drop a casual question while washing the clothes.“Hasn't your family

asked about your life over the years you worked for Jameson Schmidt?"

“| was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. | don't have parents. Jameson was the one who named me," she revealed in anemotionless tone.

Axel put on a pensive expression. "Guess that explains why you volunteer here. Is it to reminisce about your childhood?"

"There's nothing to reminisce.” She chuckled dismissively. "Why would | think back on how | was beaten, yelled at, and starvedfor three days ina

row?"Her words made his heart stop in shock. He shot a deep look at her.

“Not all orphanages in the world are safe havens for kids. Sare hell on earth." Her hands were red from washing the clothes bynow. She

remarked in a soft voice, "In sway, | have Jameson Schmidt to thank. Without his help, | would have died of starvation on thestreets on that cold

night. | only survived until this day because he tookin."

What she did not reveal was the hell that Jameson put her through. Rather than salvation, she met a fate more brutal anddespairing than the

beatings, scoldings, and starvings that she had experienced.

Axel tried his best to look nonchalant as he wrung the clothes dry. "You're considered mentally tough for women. If | were you, |might never step foot

in an orphanage after all the childhood trauma."

"Well, | wanted to help because | was in the sshoes. | suffered in an orphanage, and | didn't want the kids here to go through thesthing. It

With a click, he opened the locket and found a photo of a stranger—a young girl. The sight of her youthful and lovely face tuggedat his
