Poppy was terrified.

Only she and her brother, Finley, knew about her switching the girls!

She had never mentioned it to her real daughter, Isla.

Poppy’s face hardened, her façade crumbling. She glared at Keira, “That’s right, huh? I worked so hard to give birth to you. You climb the social ladder, and now you won’t respect me anymore?!”

She plopped down onto the ground, crying out, “If you don’t help me today I won’t get un! Everyone come
