The Richest Family In My Town Claims I'm Their Daughter

hey there I'm Liz from small town USA please like And subscribe growing up my life was a series of patched up clothes and hand-me-down shoes Dad worked long hours at his construction job just to make ends meet our tiny house creaked and groaned like it was about to collapse any minute meals were simple and repetitive beans rice and more beans I shared a bed with my parents because we couldn't afford a separate one for me once when I was seven I had an accident in the middle of the night and wet the bed as I

woke up and I realized what had happened I started to cry but instead of getting frustrated dad just hugged me and wiped my tears away it's okay Liz accidents happen we'll clean it up and everything will be fine life was tough but I always felt loved when I turned 16 things became tougher as dad got super sick and he needed heart surgery he couldn't work anymore and I got a job as a waitress to help Mom out a few weeks later I noticed this Rich looking guy around my age who would come into the restaurant

daily and I'd always catch him staring at me I ignored it for the first few days but then I'd had enough hey what's your problem whoopsie you don't need to clean it I wasn't going to clean it oh okay yeah I mean you don't work for me I mean I'd be lucky if a pretty girl with those pretty eyes worked for me but only old people work for me now not that I'm against old people like ageism is bad just tell me why you're here and why you keep staring at me are you a pervert

oh no I'm not I'm here for a reason but I'm not sure I can talk to you yet and then he just left that was so weird he disappeared for a few weeks and I thought that was the end of it but then one day he came back and said he was ready to talk okay my name is Steve and I think you're my neighbor's granddaughter the Richard family your dad was super wealthy but he had problems with his family and was cut off you're supposed to be super wealthy too it hurts to see you

struggling like this so yeah it just can't be quiet anymore I obviously thought it was a prank but then he showed me pictures that made me stop short that was my dad in his younger years looking happy with some people in front of a mansion there's more maybe we can talk after your shift look I don't know who you are and what you're trying to do but please just leave me alone and I left before he could say another word but all this information was making my head spin and I asked Mom about it that

night oh Liz it seems like our situation will never get better so I think it's time to tell you your grandparents are super wealthy but your dad thinks they're dishonest people maybe even thieves he tried to expose them once but when they found out they cut him off for good please don't talk to him about any of this I have their address just go there and try talking to them maybe their hearts will soften when they see you and they'll help with Dad surgery it's worth a try this was a lot to process but Dad's

health wasn't gonna get better and we needed money so after a week I made a decision to go we told Dad that I got accepted for a free college course and that I would be away for some weeks the next day I took a train to the state where my grandparents lived and went to the address Mama given me I nervously rang the bell and a butler opened the door yeah may I help you hi I'm Liz I I think I'm related to the people who live here I'm their granddaughter that's impossible their granddaughter already

lives here she's been with us for months you better leave before I call security the putlers slammed the door in my face I started walking away feeling so confused I'd just gone down the block when I bumped into Steve Liz what are you doing here what do you think I'm doing here no no you can't be here come with me Steve took me to his mansion and sneaked me inside his bedroom quick get in here what's going on who saw you at that house just the Butler and he said the family's granddaughter already lives there

do they have more grandchildren no your father is their only son that girl is an imposter your grandparents have hired to be you listen I can't explain more right now I just wish you told me you were coming so I could have planned better okay nothing is making sense and why are you hiding me no one should see you around here and you need a place to stay right just stay here and please trust me by the way your eyes are beautiful yeah you told me before oh okay well thank you I mean you're welcome

I'll get you some food don't come out that night I slept on Steve's bed and he slept on the couch except I didn't sleep much I had so many questions why would my grandparents hire an imposter and not contact me instead in the morning Steve suggested that I leave the mansion in Disguise to avoid being recognized he pulled out some baggy clothes and a boy's wig from his closet are you serious who would recognize me around here anyway the butler might have told the Richard family that a girl with your description turned up yesterday claiming

to be their granddaughter we need to be careful there is no way I'm wearing that go buy me a girl's wig it's your plan so it's your responsibility yeah yeah sure sure I'll go get one right away he got me a blonde wig glasses and some dresses and we sneaked out of the house to have breakfast at a cafe look I need some answers now why would my grandparents hire a girl to pretend to be me okay I'll explain everything everyone around your nose that your dad's great aunt threatened to cut your grandparents off from

her unless they said things right with your dad and everybody expected that he would reject them and then a few days later boom they suddenly had a granddaughter living with them they introduced her to your great aunt as proof that they'd mended relations with your dad they even faked her DNA test oh how did you figure out she's fake because I heard her arguing with your grandparents one night she was asking them for money and they were shouting at her that she'd get it as long as she kept acting like their granddaughter that's when I

started tracking you down oh God this is too much to process and my grandparents aren't gonna help me are they they'll never admit I'm their granddaughter now when everyone thinks the other girl is yeah they're terrible people and they won't help you out but the Imposter girl Lily she goes to my school maybe if we can get close to her we can get her to admit that she's only acting as their granddaughter if we have some proof we can go to your dad's great aunt with it I'm sure she'll help you out Steve offered to

let me stay as long as I needed and even got me enrolled in his school where everything was so fancy and intimidating during lunch I was sitting with Steve and his friends in the cafeteria when suddenly a girl plopped her butt next to him oh hi Steve you look so good today who's this girl with you don't tell me she's your girlfriend God forbid you promised you'd date me soon yeah no Lily I didn't and uh this is my friend Liz Liz this is Lily remember I told you about her oh you've been talking about

me how sweet Liz please knock some sense into your handsome friend and tell him that we're meant to be okay and by the way you look ugly which is good because I don't have to worry about you being a threat really well I think I look super pretty and that's bothering you which is why you're insulting me for no good reason no I'm insulting you for a good reason which is that you're ugly anyway Liz why are you here at our school just here to get a good education like everyone else ah wow I bet

you don't even know the latest dance craze that's been going around the school how can you even call yourself a student here a dance craze oh I'd love to see you demonstrate it Lily Lily hesitated then stood up in the middle of the cafeteria she began to do a bizarre dance that looked like a mix between the chicken dance and the Macarena everyone in the cafeteria stopped to watch and laughter erupted as Lily flailed her arms wildly realizing she'd made a fool of herself Lily stopped dancing and glared at me well I hope you're happy

you just made me look ridiculous in front of the entire School actually you did that all by yourself Lily but don't worry your dance moves were definitely memorable suddenly Lily attacked me and I wasn't taking it we fought like wild cats till Stephen some other boys pulled us apart I'm coming back for you you lizard you're gonna regret this whoa I didn't expect you to fight like that are you okay also the plan is to get closer to Lily and now she hates you I know I know but she's so annoying and she attacked me

first but I should have kept my cool I guess all the recent stress has just gotten to me I'll go apologize to her the next day I decided to visit Lily at her house because I was also curious about my grandparents I got her a stuffed Flamingo as a gift and made my best I'm sorry face hey Lily I just came by to make things right between us no like leave shoe oh wait is that a flamingo how'd you know it was my favorite fish okay okay you can come in and get get to know

me because yeah I'm amazing but remember I'm watching you like a hawk a hawk with glasses because I don't trust you okay then by the way I love the Roses on your dress thanks I water them every day but don't think I'm fooled by your compliments I still don't trust you weirdly enough I didn't have the worst time with Lily even though she was crazy she challenged me to a game of speed chess and beat me every round Checkmate you suck at this Checkmate loser then she wanted us to play Scrabble and when I beat

her she flipped the board over I don't like this game let's get something to eat I went down to the kitchen with her and I started feeling angry at my grandparents they had enough food here to feed an army how could they let their son suffer in poverty just as Lily and I were taking a tray of food upstairs we came across my grandmother who was going bonkers on a maid how dare you step on my dress didn't I scold you just this morning it's like I need to scold you three times a day maybe

I should just fire you a grandma I like this made please don't fire her and also um we have company my grandmother glared at me coldly then turned to Lily didn't you ask my permission to have company over I don't want some greedy leech stuck to you because of our status and money piling food onto a tray like she's never even seen food before what no I didn't leave leave this very instant I looked at Lily who was red-faced and silent and I just ran out of there Steve my grandma is a mean awful witch

and I don't think I'll get Lily to admit anything I should just go home no you can't give up so easily you need to expose these horrible people to your great aunt you deserve to have a better life Liz I don't know Steve why do you care so much because I don't know maybe I'm like your dad and I can't see evil and do nothing like a truth Warrior kind of thing maybe I'm like Robin Hood but I don't steal from the rich and give to the poor so I'm not like Robin Hood but come

on smile girl oh no I can't see your blinding smile lit up the entire room I mean the entire house no the entire neighborhood oh no the entire shut up and let's go for a walk as we walked around the neighborhood Steve's easy-going nature made me feel relaxed and comfortable like we'd known each other for ages suddenly I grabbed him and kissed him and he kissed me back but the next day at school we'd just walked into the hallway when Lily came running and threw her arms around me I'm really sorry about Grandma yesterday she

was just PMSing isn't she like 70 years old yeah so listen she's really not that bad but I'm so sorry she screamed at you I was having such a good time and for the first time since I came here I felt like I had a friend please don't stop being my friend fine I won't but I'm not hanging out at your house again deal I hate that place anyway so bestie have you talked to Stevie here about how he should stop resisting my charms uh yeah still working on it if I wanted to stay close

to Lily Stevie and I had to hide our feelings for each other in school but afterwards we would have the most amazing time together and really got to know each other one morning he surprised me with a hot air balloon ride we climbed into the basket and took off watching the sun rise over the horizon Liz I never thought I could feel this way about someone I can't imagine my world without you now Steve I feel the same you've been my rock through all of this as we shared a tender kiss it felt as if

the whole world had melted away leaving just the two floating in our own little Universe Lily and I were growing closer too and one day we were supposed to go to the mall after school but she blew me off saying something important had come up I saw her leave and decided to follow her she took a bus to the other end of town and then ran to a woman waiting at the bus stop oh mom I've missed you so much I started recording everything on my phone breathlessly here's some more money mom I have to

stay for a few more months before the Richards give me the last payment will it be enough for now yes honey thank you I know how hard this has been for you well at least I sleep on a nice bed eat nice food and go to a nice school but yeah it's so hard that rich old couple is horrible and I hate it when I have to meet people and pretend to be their loving granddaughter I hope all their teeth rot soon so they can never enjoy food again I snuck away before Lily could spot

me the video would be enough proof to convince my great aunt this is everything we need Liz your great aunt is hosting a big charity gala next weekend and many influential people will be attending it'll be the perfect opportunity to expose your grandparents to her in the world but but what about Lily I'm exposing her too right and it seems like her mom needs money too but you are their actual granddaughter and you deserve the help your radon can give you you can't worry about other people right now maybe he was right and I don't

know how much longer Dad could go without the surgery that weekend Steve and I went to the event I felt super nervous but Steve reassured me that everything would be okay soon after we entered the hall Lily grabbed a mic from the stage testing testing Lily is pretty it works fine and then she approached me and suddenly she pulled hard at my wig and took it off look everyone see how fake this girl is and I thought she was my friend but I've discovered she's a fake snake oh yeah I saw you kissing Steve in

the park one day you big liar okay so Steve doesn't like you and you're gonna call me a liar when your entire existence here is fake someone from the crowd shouted who are you girls and why are you causing so much drama let me tell everyone who I am I'm Liz the real granddaughter of the Richard family and this girl right here she's a con witch the Richard family are liars they cut off their own son because he couldn't stay quiet and wanted to expose them for their stealing and Corruption this innocent girl has been

living with her sick dad struggling to make ends meet while her grandparents are billionaires who hired a girl to steal more wealth from their great aunt everyone stared at the Richard family in shocked silence just then the great aunt stepped closer to me you do look like your father but how can I know you're telling the truth I showed her the video of Lily and her mom and even my DNA test really you will believe this lying dishonest beggar shut up how dare you you're the Liars you thought you and your wife fool me and

get away with it get lost both of you now my grandparents started crying and begging but my great aunt stood firm and they both left and suddenly Lily turned into a mad woman oh Liz there's something Steve didn't tell you about himself the Richard family and Steve's dad were business partners and they stole from his dad almost ruining him completely so my guess is that Steve brought you here to expose them for his own Revenge not because he cares about you I looked at Steve stunned no you did all this because you're a truth Warrior

and because you love me right Steve Steve silently looked down and tears filled my eyes at that moment my great aunt stepped in come with me dear through my tears I choked out what now life can't stay and to see me happy I just want to go home I'll take you home love you're my family and I'll take care of you now the next day everyone was talking about the Scandal Lily and my grandparents were arrested for fraud and I returned home with my great aunt I missed you so much guys my great aunt immediately

took care of my dad's surgery which was a success after he had recovered completely she insisted that we move in with her and that my dad join her business she wanted someone honest and hardworking like him dad gratefully accepted the offer and our lives turned upside down we were Rich healthy and happy but I couldn't stop thinking about Steve although the jerk didn't even try to contact me one day we heard a knock on the door and it was Lily looking miserable please I'm begging you forgive me I just got out of jail on bail

my mom spent everything she had to get me out she used to work for the Richard family as a made once and we needed money so desperately so I agreed to pose as their granddaughter please she can't afford to fight this case I couldn't help it her she was just a poor girl who had needs and my grandparents exploited them my great aunt dropped the case against her and we even helped her with the money a few weeks later dad came home with a guest Steve Liz I I don't have much to say but yes

I brought you here to expose your grandparents because I badly wanted Revenge but I think I fell in love with you in the process all I've come to ask for now is a second chance Steve I was really hurt when I found out about your intentions but deep down I feel something special between us too and if it wasn't for you my family would still be struggling so can we just take it slow and see where this goes sure we can take it slow like a turtle doing yoga or a snail on vacation but seriously

I'm ready to put in the effort to rebuild your trust and make this work if you are I smiled at him and he smiled back [Music] good
