Chapter 1055
Heather stood still for a moment without a word, probably shocked at what her sister had just said.
'She should have repented and asked for my forgiveness in tears, but she told me she wanted to be
herself instead!’
"Do you have any idea what you're saying? Have you gone insane?" Heather said despite herself.
"I'm not crazy. I know what I'm saying better than at any point in my life." Hannah slowly got to her feet
and realized she was slightly taller than Heather.
Although the difference was slight, it showed they were not the same.' How can two different people
become one?'
"Heather, I obeyed you and did whatever you wanted me to all these years, but that's it for me. Can't I

people to know that there’s someone named Hannah in the Riggs family and that we're sisters!"
She tried to hold Heather's hand, but as she was about to touch Heather's hand, Heather jerked away
as if getting burned. "You're out of your mind!"
"I’m not, Heather! Please. We're sisters. Can you let me be myself? I can still help you by being myself
and not your impostor." Hannah softened her voice and pleaded.
She had thought about it while staring at the distorted ring the whole day and night. Even if Ralph might
reject her, she wanted to meet him as herself because she felt tormented being unable to tell him the
truth.
"Shut up!" Heather slapped Hannah's face, which soon became swollen.
"Have you forgotten about the curse on our family? Have you forgotten that there can be only one child
in the Riggs family? Be yourself, huh? Fine.
Then be a dead one!" Heather grabbed a paring knife from the coffee table and tossed it over.
It landed with a clang on the floor before Hannah, and she quieted down. Palming her swollen cheek,
she felt the blood in her mouth as she stared at the glinting knife. Her mind went blank.
All she could hear was Heather's icy voice. 'The outsiders have always thought the Riggs family is
small because there are few offspring. They are unaware of the horrible curse that only one child could
exist in our family. Even if we were to give birth to three or seven, or eight children, all would end up
dead except one.
"Have you forgotten about mom? She isn't the only child. Her siblings were the cream of the crop but in
the end? She's the only one left! Grandma did not have the heart to decide who to live and die, and
things ended up the same.

shape. Nobody would push us around like they do now!" Heather's words echoed in Hannah's ears and
mind.
She knew more than anyone about these incidents. Having heard about it since she was young,
Hannah had lived in fear because she knew that either she or Heather could live. Otherwise, the family
believed they would face a terrible disaster.
Hannah had no idea why there was such a ridiculous curse, and she did not believe it. However, it was
clear that everyone else did.
Even her parents had tried to kill her because Heather was stronger and more suitable as the heir of
the Riggs family. Therefore, Hannah had lost the right to live.
