Ha!

Nonsense was coming more and more easily from her mouth, dripping with a honeyed sweetness, but her face was full of disdain. Still, Evander didn’t expose her—he just looked at her with a faint, almost-smile.

“Alright, whatever you say, I won’t tease you!”

Esther: “???”

“I won’t tease you!”

“…”

“Cough, cough…”

At this, even Alan, who had come fully prepared to curry favor with the Westvale family, couldn’t hold back anymore. After all, it was the Westvale family who had invited him here, but once he arrived, they completely ignored him, acting as if he was invisible air.

Anyone would be upset. Besides, based on the ancestral gratitude between the two families, it was really the Westvale family who owed the Davenier family.

“Let me interrupt—Mr. Westvale, Old Madam Westvale invited us here today mainly to discuss the marriage alliance between the Westvale family and our Davenier family!”

    Yet, compared to her shock, the father and daughter opposite were practically steaming with anger. Alan’s face alternated between red and purple. If it weren’t for the huge status gap, Esther thought he’d have already exploded by now.Sure enough, the next moment, Alan abruptly stood up from the sofa and looked straight at Madam Westvale. The cultured gent who had been polite all night finally snapped.“Madam Westvale, did you invite us here today just to listen to your Westvale family insult us? Yes! Compared to your Westvale family, our Davenier family is small and humble, but small or humble, we still have dignity. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Besides, the ancestral debt between the Westvale and Davenier families means the Westvale family owes the Davenier family. Such humiliation—aren’t you afraid of being mocked if this gets out? The prestigious Westvale family, the richest in the capital, is this how you treat your benefactors?!”Now, he h

  • Forsaken Daughter Turns the Game Upside Down   Not Suitable

    Alan feared she wouldn’t cooperate, so he didn’t give Esther what she asked for immediately. Instead, only after they entered the Westvale family’s estate did he hand her a key—one for a bank deposit box where her mother’s belongings were kept.Esther didn’t ask why she was only receiving it now; she knew some answers aren’t found by asking.The Westvale family’s old mansion.The servants came and went with strict solemnity. Seeing this, Alan straightened his back and glanced at his own daughter Chloe.“It looks like the Westvale family still values our visit. Watch your manners, don’t say anything reckless. Remember, you’re a lady, not a shrew!”“I know, Dad!”Having already lost face because of her uncontrollable temper around Esther, this was Chloe’s golden chance to turn things around. She had to behave well and change her fate.Alan thought the Westvale family would be fully present, but to his surprise, only the matriarch was in

  • Forsaken Daughter Turns the Game Upside Down   Settle the Marriage

    Inside the car, Zoe hugged the phone, pouting as she complained to Evander, “Then Daddy, hurry up and marry Auntie so I don’t have to keep bothering her, okay?”Evander hummed in response, unsure how to answer his precious daughter. After a while—the car had been driving for some time—he said, “Alright, but you’re not allowed to cause trouble during this time!”“Okay!”Seeing that Daddy had agreed to pursue Auntie, little Zoe quickly agreed, “I’ll give you half a month!”Evander: “...”Why not just say one day?!As soon as Esther got home, Élodie’s call came through. “You leave right away?”“So what?” Esther gripped the steering wheel, eyes on the road, “I’ll find you again when I have time, maybe to slap you once more!”“Esther!!!”Hearing that, Élodie instantly exploded in anger, “You bitch, how dare you bully me! My brother won’t let you off! My boyfriend’s coming back soon—just wait! That slap? He’ll repay you t

    Esther gave the kid a look, half amused, half exasperated. “Come on, tell me—why are you playing the victim?”“Because I don’t have a Mommy!”The little girl’s voice was soft and sweet. Her big, bright eyes blinked shyly, and her long lashes fluttered almost brushing her nose like she was afraid Esther might get mad. Then, her head dropped and the hands around Esther’s neck slowly loosened.“I’m sorry, Auntie. Did I make you dislike me?”Then she struggled and slid out of Esther’s arms. “I won’t make your life harder. I just want to help you…”The simple words I don’t have a Mommy pierced Esther’s heart. What had started as annoyance at the kid’s little con softened instantly. She bent down and knelt before the girl. Reviewing the conversation with Mathieu, everything clicked.“You want to help me get that lead female role, don’t you?”Mathieu had first picked her. The little girl was just a bonus, but only if that face got f

    As soon as he spoke, the whole room stirred.Did he just openly say he liked Esther’s name? Wait—could he actually be interested in that ugly girl?This man was a global icon. In the entire capital, only Evander’s circle could rival his. With so many gorgeous women standing around, how could he be interested in the least attractive one?Élodie dug her nails so hard into her palm that they nearly pierced her skin.“Get away!”Zoe, whose head had just been pushed aside, snapped it right back into place like a fighter jet locking onto a target. She firmly blocked Roger and Esther’s line of sight, her wide black-and-white eyes full of fury. She puffed up fiercely like an angry kitten. “One more creepy move and I’m calling the cops!”Roger: “…”So young… Cough, no need to stoop to a kid’s level.“Why call the police over this?”For some reason, Roger actually felt like bantering a bit with
