Chapter 3

Draco continued, "Jenny behaves more like a young lady of the Lowe family than you—" The moment those words left his mouth, Howard glared vehemently at him. Having also realized that he had misspoken, Draco left the room. He slammed the door behind him. I knew that all the tolerance and restraint they were showing was for the sake of swapping Jenny's soul for mine and thus getting her back. It was a pity that I had been too blind to see through their act in my past life. However, I was determined to put on an equally good performance for them in this life! Over the next few days, Jenny quieted down a lot. She obediently stayed in the room that Howard had arranged for her and did not cause any more trouble. It was likely that she really was afraid of me carrying her off to a breeder. How could I possibly let her off so easily, though? I secretly visited a pig farm and obtained more than a dozen packets of sow hormone boosters. Then, I added them to the meals that Howard prepared for Jenny. The owner of the pig farm assured me that the boosters would greatly accelerate a pig's maturity. Even a micro pig that weighed only a few dozen pounds after reaching adulthood would be able to experience rapid weight gain and enter estrus. A plump and healthy pig would naturally be more lovable in people's eyes. After all, I had already prepared a mysterious birthday gift for Jenny, so she should certainly take care of herself until then. As expected, Jenny visibly gained weight, and her body became plump. Howard would watch over her whenever he had the time as he was scared I would do something to her. The night before my birthday, I went to the kitchen to find something to eat as I had gotten hungry in the middle of the night. However, as soon as I took a bite, I felt that something was off. The sandwiches I had made during the day had obviously not gone bad yet, but they tasted strange, and even the fruit juice had a strong fishy odor to it. I hurriedly rinsed my mouth as my anger shot through the roof. Jenny had to be the one behind this! I was going to settle the score with her! I rushed toward the door of her room only to hear Howard's voice coming from inside. "Just endure it for a little longer, Jenny. I'll definitely help you get everything back! "Back then, I secretly swapped you with Juniper because I was afraid that you would have to suffer alongside our mother. I never expected our parents to actually find her and bring her back. "I know you've been miserable during this period of time. Once tomorrow's over, you'll be able to exchange bodies with Juniper and become a normal human again! That bitch will also disappear, so you'll have sole claim to the position of daughter of the Lowe family!" I was incredibly shocked. I had been wondering why Howard wanted to harm me so badly. It seemed like he was possessed as well. It turned out that he was my father's illegitimate son, and Jenny shared the same mother as him. I seethed in anger, wanting nothing more than to rush into the room and tear those bastard siblings apart. However, I knew that I had to endure it for now or risk disrupting the revenge plot I had planned for tomorrow. After waking up the next day, I discovered that the layout of the house had changed the moment I stepped out of the bedroom. Howard was holding a bouquet of fresh flowers and a cake. His smiling face was a stark contrast to his usual cold expression. "Today's your 18th birthday as well as your first birthday since your return to the Lowe household, Juni," he said. "Our parents are abroad and can't come back for your birthday, so I specially prepared a birthday party for you. I hope you like it." Draco, who was also nearby, could not hide the expectation and excitement on his face. "I also prepared a gift for you. I hope you'll experience a special 18th birthday." The two of them had also said the same thing in my previous life. I had been so touched that I was a crying mess back then. However, I only felt a chill in my heart in this life. It was probably not my birthday that they were looking forward to celebrating, but Jenny's new life. Seeing their eager looks, I forced a smile and pretended to respond positively to their words. "Alright, but since you want to help me celebrate my birthday, how could you not buy my favorite premium diamond chocolate cake? How about you go and buy it for me now, Howard?" Upon hearing my words, Howard looked as if he was about to reluctantly call for delivery, but I quickly stopped him.
