Chapter 100
My father, Gary, let out a long, weary sigh as if the weight of everything finally hit him.”
“You know,” he began, his voice tinged with frustration, “I always planned to pass the future of the family onto you, Logan. Alexa was supposed to be the princess, living a carefree life, just as long as you were there to protect her. But I never imagined… that you’d have such twisted intentions.“}
His eyes were full of fire now.
“And the chronic poison in Aunt Claire’s health supplements–don’t even try to deny it, that was you, wasn’t it?” my dad continued, his tone seething. “If it wasn’t for this trip abroad and the routine check–up, I never would’ve known that the person I’ve been keeping close to me all this time was actually a ticking time bomb.”
I froze, completely stunned.
That explained so much.”
No wonder my parents had been gone for so long.”
In my past life, I felt something was off.@
I tried calling my parents while they were abroad, but my father had told me to wait until he returned. I had no idea that phone call would be the last time I’d ever hear his voice.
But this time, my father wasn’t holding back.
Without a second thought, he pulled out his phone and dialed the police. After all, poisoning wasn’t something you could just overlook.
While Logan was being led away, I grabbed a sample of his blood.”
I was going to use it to break the life–swap curse.
But the real question on my mind was: how the hell did Logan know so much about these dark, secretive spells?!
My dad sighed again, his face full of regret. “Logan’s mother… she’s from the Appalachian Mountains,” he explained. “Years ago, when I visited there, I was cursed by the Gu spell. That’s how I ended up with her. Eventually, a master broke the curse, and we parted ways. But… you know how it is–once a husband, always a husband. I couldn’t leave him alone, so I took
him in.”
As for Scott, he had always been really close to me. But this time, he seemed like he was possessed, helping Logan plot against me, because he, too, had fallen under the spell of the curse.
It all clicked.
I’d grown up with Scott, but Jessica had only met him a handful of times.}
‘Why in the world would he risk everything for her?‘”
Once I had Logan’s blood, I returned to the old man who had warned me about the curses.
Together, we used it to break the life swap and lift the other spells.
When Scott woke up and learned everything that had happened, he was crushed with guilt.
He even promised to make it up to me by treating me to a hundred meals.
I couldn’t help but roll my eyes. ‘Really? A hundred meals? Who cares?‘
Meanwhile, Jessica’s soul finally returned to the body she should never have left.”
Once everything was in order, my father held a press conference to introduce me to the world officially.”
“I’m Gary Montgomery, president of Montgomery Enterprises, and I have one daughter–Alexa Green Montgomery, my only heir,” he said, his voice filled with pride. “She’s the one I trust to take over everything when the time comes.”
As for Logan, he was completely cut off from the Montgomerys. There was no turning back for him.
A sudden realization hit me as I looked at my parents, noticing the streaks of white in their hair. Despite all the years they’d been absent from my life, their love for me had never wavered.
[The End]
