Chapter 4
When I was being beaten and scolded earlier, I didn’t shed a single tear. Now, seeing the uniformed guards, my tears began to fall.
From this moment on, I would no longer be that helpless orphan girl whom everyone could bully.
I was incredibly excited and rushed quickly to the car, standing on my tiptoes to see what my parents actually looked like.
Seeing my disheveled state, the two guards tactfully lowered their heads.
One of them said, “Please mind your appearance.”
Aurora immediately chimed in, “You don’t know, do you? Kennedy is a shameless prostitute. She’s always seducing people, always running around half–dressed. We’ll take her away right now.”
Hearing her words, Jacob stepped forward and grabbed my arm tightly, trying to drag me away. Unable to break free, I sat down directly on the ground outside the car door.
I cried out, “I’m not a prostitute. They’re slandering me, stripping my clothes, and trying to throw me out on the street to ruin my reputation. You must help me!”
At that moment, Alexander and Valentina pushed open the car door and stepped out. Seeing me in this state, they were both startled and immediately reached out to help me up.
The factory workers had never seen a general before and were all frightened into silence.
In the complete quiet, Alexander slowly said, “We heard that the Perfect SAT Scorer works at this garment factory. Could you tell us who she is?”
Aurora immediately glared at me with hatred. Ariana felt somewhat puzzled, unsure whether this situation was good or bad, and hid behind the crowd, saying fearfully, “That’s me. What do you need?”
Valentina’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. She rushed quickly to Ariana, “My daughter, I’ve missed you so much.”
Ariana was stunned, “What’s going on? I…”

Before she could finish speaking, Alexander also strode “Silly child, we’re your parents. All these years, we’ve thought about you every moment. Fortunately, you’re smart and performed excellently on the SAT. Otherwise, we might never have found you in this lifetime.”
The two of them embraced Ariana, crying so hard they couldn’t speak anymore.

Both Aurora and Jacob knew I had sold my SAT scores to Ariana, and they looked at me in surprise.
I rolled my eyes and was about to step forward to explain the situation when Aurora suddenly rushed out, “No! Dad, Mom, you’ve got the wrong person. Actually, I’m the Perfect SAT Scorer. I got seriously ill, so I sold my SAT scores to Ariana.”
At this moment, Ariana also understood what was happening, realizing this wasn’t an accident but an enormous fortune.
She glanced at me warily. Seeing that I didn’t seem to want to compete, she confidently pushed Aurora away and said, “Dad, Mom, don’t listen to her nonsense. I’m the Perfect SAT Scorer!”
Aurora became extremely anxious and frantically interrupted Ariana, arguing, “Don’t listen to this bitch’s lies. She’s the factory owner’s daughter, she has parents, she can’t possibly be your child.”

At this point, Ariana no longer cared about her adoptive parents and immediately retorted, “You don’t know anything. My parents can’t have children, and I was picked up by them. I’m not their biological daughter at all.”
Seeing the two of them suddenly break into an argument, Alexander frowned slightly, while the warmth on Valentina’s face also faded.
Alexander said loudly, “Enough! We’re looking for the owner of

Valentina said coldly, “Do you know what consequences lying in front of General Taylor will bring?”
