Inside the envelope was an ID card and various official documents.
All the materials bore one name–Carmel!
“What is this?” I asked Ms. Coleman.
“My daughter. She passed away ten years ago, but I couldn’t bring myself to accept it, so I never applied for her death certificate and kept her ID as if she were still alive.”
I saw tears welling up in Ms. Coleman’s eyes, and my heart ached in sympathy.
I thought, this must be what it means to empathize!
Like her, I had also lost my most beloved

family member, and the pain was unbearable!
“Emonie, from now on, you are Carmel, my daughter. This is your new identity!”
“Thank you, Ms. Coleman!”
I felt resolute inside. Ms. Coleman had done so much for me, and I would never let her down! I couldn’t afford to disappoint myself either!
The next day, Ms. Coleman arranged new tutors for me to teach me makeup techniques and psychology.
I progressed rapidly!
The second year after “Emonie” passed away, I made my return as “Carmel“!

I established my own skincare brand.
After conducting thorough research, I discovered that Karena was proficient in cosmetics but had never ventured into the skincare product field.
The condition of the skin before makeup was crucial, as it directly impacted the makeup’s effect. Therefore, skincare was essential in daily routines.
With this point as my selling point, and with Ms. Coleman’s support, my skincare brand quickly gained recognition.
Many of Karena’s customers began coming to my company.
Her makeup products‘ sales plummeted.
Sitting in my office, I listened to the

assistant’s report, feeling extremely pleased.
At that moment, the phone on my desk rang.
I picked up the receiver-
“Boss, Ms. Simmons from Sunny Day Cosmetics is at the front desk, saying she wants to see you!”
So she couldn’t wait to come here?
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the right time to meet
her!
“Tell her I’m busy and don’t have time!”
Later, I heard from the receptionist that Karena threw a huge tantrum before leaving.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard that.

For so many years, Karena had been Gavin’s secret lover, manipulating me as she
pleased. I wondered what her reaction would be if she realized my past experiences were about to unfold with her.
I couldn’t wait to see her reaction!
I donned the high–end evening gown that Ms. Coleman had custom–made for me and appeared at the banquet with grace.
My dazzling, radiant aura quickly caught Gavin’s attention.
I saw his surprised gaze, and he strode toward me, grabbing my wrist with force.
“Emonie? You’re still alive?” he asked, his disbelief evident.
