Chapter 1 A False Identity

It was hot in Melcester in June. The tarmac was shrouded in a veil of heat in the scorching sun, so no one was willing to come outdoor.

Myrna Stark dragged her packed luggage out of the

room.

Before she came down, she heard Stephanie Stark's voice from downstairs.

"Dad, Mom, are Myrna's biological parents coming to pick her up?"

Myrna's foster father, Luther Stark, responded sternly, "It's none of your business. Have you mastered the piano music you'll play later? Your grandma's friend will come from Nemmington. She's a professor at Hebbury College of Art and a national piano virtuoso. If you play the piano well, your grandma will talk to her friend, and you'll be able to be admitted to the university in

Nemmington."

"I've been practicing it.

Before Myrna could go downstairs, she heard Stephanie continue coquettishly.

"Dad, what do you think Myrna's biological parents look like?"

Hardly had her voice faded away, she muttered innocently yet contemptuously, "They said they would come the day before yesterday, but they didn't arrive until today. Did it take them two days and one night to come here by train from the town?" Hearing this, Myrna stopped in her tracks, and a hint of irony flashed in her indifferent eyes.

Three months ago, she accidentally found out that her boyfriend was having an affair with Stephanie, who was also dating someone else.

Myrna was so angry that she exposed it. Then she was told that she wasn't a true member of the Stark family. They took her back from an orphanage.
