Chapter 1
My sister and I were both daughters of the Hart family. Dad said whoever could come up with a proposal that would revolutionize the company would inherit the Hart family’s business.
I lived up to everyone’s expectations and wrote a satisfactory plan after visiting dozens of business partners. However, on the day he announced the company’s transfer, I personally deleted all the plans and gave up the inheritance right.
In the past, I tirelessly ran between various business partners, and finally managed to implement the plan.
On the day of inheriting the company, however, my sister presented an identical document.
The creation time was one day earlier than mine.
While my sister was embraced by the entire company as the new chairman, I was being criticized by everyone for shamelessly plagiarizing.
Dad immediately announced that he was kicking me out of the Hart family and taking away all the assets under my name.
My younger sister even contacted major media outlets to expose my act of plagiarism.
I was driven to a desperate situation by online bullying and was sent to prison.
He was beaten to death in prison.
Until the moment of death, I never understood. It was clearly a plan I had written with my own hands, so how did it become hers?
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the family meeting.

Dad made a will in the presence of the elders of the Hart family, stating that whoever could come up with an innovative plan for the company first would inherit it.
The applause pulled me back from the memories of my past life.
Dad walked up to me at that moment and patted my shoulder.
“Penelope, you started working at the company early, and you are also the older sister. The current development situation of the company is not very good, and I am getting old. In the future, it will be
up to you all. You must work hard…”
Listening to his words, which were just like in the past, I couldn’t help but clench my fist.
Phoebe Hart quickly and obediently spoke up, “Don’t worry, Dad. Everyone says that sister is a

Phoebe Hart quickly and obediently spoke up, “Don’t worry, Dad. Everyone says that sister is a business genius. She definitely has a way to change the company’s situation. You don’t have to worry, your health is more important.”
Her words were exactly the same as in her past life. If it wasn’t for my personal experience, I would never have imagined that my kind and lovely sister could have such a cunning and deceitful side.
Since the meticulously written plan was destined to fall on her, whoever wants to inherit this company can inherit it. I can’t wait to be a hands–off boss and make money lying down.
“I am not as capable as everyone says. It was actually my father who was helping me before. I definitely cannot come up with a solution on my own. The future of the company should be entrusted to Phoebe!”
When they heard me beat the retreat drum, everyone’s face turned gloomy.
Phoebe was extremely anxious, “Why is Penelope still speaking angrily at this time? Even with her father’s help, Penelope’s abilities are evident to everyone. Now that the company is at a critical juncture of life and death, you can’t lose heart.”
Dad slammed his fist on the table, his brow furrowed.
“Penelope Hart, this was not the time for you to throw a tantrum! The Hart Group has collapsed, do you think you can still live a good life?”
“You can’t afford to lose even the capital from the company’s shareholders, let alone the business
partners outside.”
“Don’t blame me for not reminding you, when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer. I’m not asking you to choose, I’m informing you!”
Dad was the head of the Hart family, and there were only two daughters, me and Phoebe.
Mother passed away early, and he has faced a lot of pressure over the years, dealing with the
watchful eyes of the remaining members of the Hart family.
To my knowledge, no fewer than ten elders wanted to push their sons into the company.
If it weren’t for my father and the shareholders strongly opposing, I’m afraid our family of three would have been kicked out of the door a long time ago.
For this, he had already found a way to pave the way when Phoebe and I were young.
I had just graduated when he sent me to the company for training.
He said that once Phoebe and I were not competent, the company would be immediately taken over by others.

Apart from being expelled from the Hart family, I’m afraid that all the people we have offended in the business world over the years will not let us off easily.
I understood his difficulties, so in the past, he tirelessly visited various major business partners, all in search of a solution that would revolutionize the company.
But later on, the plan was written down.
But on the day of inheritance, Phoebe brought out an identical document.
And her creative time was a whole day earlier than mine.
Faced with solid evidence like a mountain, no one would doubt that her plan had issues.
I was immediately scolded by everyone as a shameless plagiarist, who had stolen my sister’s hard
work.
Phoebe looked at the proposal on my computer, tears swirling in her eyes.
“Penelope, I know I am not as capable as you, but for the sake of the company’s growth, I have worked tirelessly. How could you bear to steal my documents? Isn’t this forcing me to be expelled from the Hart family?”
“I know you were also doing it for the good of the company, I don’t blame you. As long as you admit that you plagiarized and voluntarily give up your inheritance rights, I can plead with Dad to let you stay at home and give you a monthly allowance of one thousand.”
Her seemingly magnanimous words instantly caused dissatisfaction among all the shareholders.
A group of people slammed the table and pointed at my nose, angrily cursing at me.
“What a load of bullshit business genius, I think he’s just a stupid pig who inflates things! Those previous plans were also copied from elsewhere, right?”
“Mr. Hart put so much effort into nurturing her, and she became the general manager as soon as she joined the company. Does she even deserve it?”
“If it weren’t for Phoebe presenting the evidence this time, the company would have ended up in the hands of that despicable person! Mr. Hart, don’t blame me for being blunt, but based on Penelope’s actions, she doesn’t deserve to have the Hart surname!”
Phoebe was unanimously recognized by the company as the new chairman, while I was kicked out of my house by my father and had all my assets taken away.
Phoebe sued and sent me to prison, where I was brutally beaten to death.
Until the moment of death, I couldn’t understand why I, the partner who had worked so hard,
3/5
appeared in her plan.
Seeing her anxious expression at the moment, I calmly agreed without making a sound,
“Dad, don’t worry, I understood everything you said. I will try my best to come up with solutions for the company.”
On the way leaving, I rapidly pondered every detail of my past life in my mind.
I only showed the plan to my father after I wrote it.
But Phoebe and I were both his biological daughters, and everything we did was for the Hart family, so he couldn’t have possibly stolen my plan.
Where exactly did the problem arise?
I was puzzled, browsing through the contact information of various major partners on the screen.
These companies were all recommended to me by my fiancé Elijah Gordon. He knew that I had just graduated and lacked experience, and he has been helping me a lot over the years.
Did he leak the secret?
I deleted the business partner he sent me and this time I am prepared to find one myself.
I don’t believe Phoebe could steal!
