Page 1 of After real sister came back, I was kicked out

On the day of my engagement, my brother Tristan Snyder brought home a girl around my age named Zoey Snyder, claiming she was his real sister.

He accused me of stealing twenty years of her life.

My fianc Anton Hayes also declared that girl was his true wife.

I was unceremoniously thrown out of the house.

Tristan and Anton took Zoey traveling around the world, even giving her the villa that was originally prepared for me.

It wasn't until half a month later, when they suddenly remembered my birthday, that they discovered I had joined a classified government program lasting ten years.

They would never see me again.

The two who should have been happy began to regret their actions.

"Evelyn, are you sure about this? This project is completely classified. Once you enter, you won't be able to see your family."

Director Jonah Collins pulled me back from my thoughts, my eyes still moist.

Everyone at the research institute knew what had happened at home these past few daysI was just a fake.

"I know this has been a huge blow to you, but you shouldn't act impulsively. This is your life." Seeing the sadness in my eyes, Jonah turned away, his face full of concern.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Collins. I'm not acting impulsively. I didn't agree immediately before because I couldn't bear to leave my family. But now that things have reached this point, leaving is the right choice." I steadied myself and responded.

But where Jonah couldn't see, I quietly wiped away the tears from the corner of my eyes.

I was indeed heartbroken, but I also felt relieved.

It seemed like I had always known I would eventually make this decision.

Rather than making everyone unhappy, it was better to let them find the right person early.

"Alright, I trust you. Take care of yourself. We depart in half a month." Jonah didn't try to persuade me further, just gently patted my shoulder.

He understood I needed comfort now but didn't know what to say, so he could only use this gesture to tell me he would always be on my side.

"Thank you." I bowed and left.

As I walked toward the door, everyone at the research institute looked my way.

Ever since my identity was exposed, these former colleagues had been especially sympathetic toward me.

In their eyes, everything I had achieved was through my own efforts.

However, Tristan had stated on the company's official website that my achievements were only possible thanks to the Snyder family's support, so I had no right to blame them and didn't deserve any of it.

"Evelyn, why don't you just not go home?"

"Yeah, I have a spare room at my place. If you don't want to go back, you can stay with me. You're leaving in just a few days anyway, so there's no need to go back and suffer."

To comfort me, everyone offered their help.

I shook my head gently. "Precisely because I'm leaving, I should go home."

I needed to repay the debt I owed.

Though Tristan's words were harsh, I couldn't deny that I had indeed taken twenty years of his real sister's life. This was my fault and a responsibility I had to face.

"Evelyn."

Seeing my determination, everyone wanted to persuade me further, but I forced a smile and hugged each person. "It's okay. You've forgottenI'm very strong. Just like these experiments, no matter how difficult they were, I made it through in the end. Trust me."

I raised my hand, making a gesture of encouragement, then got up and headed home.

The Snyder villa wasn't far from here, because this research institute was built with investments from Tristan and Anton.

To be closer to me, they had built two adjacent villas nearbythose were once my two homes.

But now, there was no room for me in either villa.

Facing my arrival, the servants inside were openly hostile.

"Mr. Snyder said you're no longer part of the Snyder family. What are you doing here?"

"Some people steal twenty years of someone else's life and still have the nerve to show their face?"
