"What happened?"

Vessara did her best to keep her voice steady.

Beneath her sleeves, however, her hands had already curled into tight fists.

Mrs. Barclay stood there in silence for several moments before finally speaking.

"Is that really what your life was like?"

Her voice broke slightly.

"Were you really raised in a family like that?"

So she'd seen everything.

Before Vessara could respond, Mrs. Barclay suddenly pulled her into a tight embrace.

The older woman's shoulders trembled.

  • From Disgrace to Glory: Rise Of The True Heiress   Disgrace

    On the way to the Laurent estate, Vessara closed her eyes and rested against the seat.Fragments of her years in prison drifted through her mind.The memories only sharpened the coldness in her gaze.She didn't know the driver well enough to make conversation, so she remained silent for the entire ride.When the car finally stopped, she simply murmured, "Thank you," before stepping out.Standing before the familiar villa, Vessara paused for a moment.Then she walked inside without hesitation.At the same time, a passing car slowed near the entrance.Razen's gaze landed on a familiar figure.Something flashed through his mind.Before he could make sense of it, his body had already reacted.By the time he realized what he was doing, he was following the woman into the Laurent estate.Inside the villa, laughter filled the living room.Selena was nestled comfortably against Jason's chest, her voice soft and sweet."Jason..."She looked up at him coyly."Our company's stock has been climbi

They practically destroyed your reputation."Her arms tightened around Vessara."You must have suffered so much."Vessara froze.For a long moment, she didn't know how to react.Finally, she managed a weak response."I'm fine."Mrs. Barclay immediately shook her head.When she looked up again, the gentleness in her eyes had been replaced by fierce determination."I don't believe a sin

  • From Disgrace to Glory: Rise Of The True Heiress   Lucas Barclay's Returns

    The second day after Vessara returned to the Barclay family estate—Emilia had been unusually well-behaved.Whether someone had spoken to her or not, Vessara didn't know.At lunch, Emilia sat quietly at the table, eating her meal without so much as glancing in Vessara's direction.Frankly, Vessara preferred it that way.She had just finished eating and was about to leave when Emilia suddenly slammed her utensils onto the table and rose to her feet."How are you settling in, sister?"Vessara frowned slightly but stopped walking.Turning around, she met Emilia's gaze.The hatred in the other girl's eyes was impossible to miss."My brother is coming home today."She practically spat out the words."Just wait and see."A smug smile appeared on her face."This family isn't yours just because you showed up.""My brother adores me. He's a medical genius. When he gets here, you'll know exactly where you stand."The threat hung in the air.Vessara rubbed her temple.For some reason, she felt m

    Nathan blinked and pointed at himself."Me?"He looked utterly offended."You're talking about me?"Seeing Razen's expressionless nod, Nathan nearly lost it."Boss, have you completely lost your mind?" He pointed at the screen. "Do you have any idea who I am compared to who that is?""I'm barely hanging onto second place, and you want me to monitor the guy who's been sitting at number one for years?"Nathan looked genuinely horrified."That's basically asking a clownfish to stalk a shark."Razen raised an eyebrow. "Yeah?"The single syllable was enough to make Nathan nervous.Then came the fatal blow."Or would you rather spend a few months overseeing the mining project in Africa?"Nathan froze. His expression immediately collapsed."...I'll monitor the account.""Good."Nathan slumped back into his chair and pulled up several tracking programs.Silently, he offered a prayer.‘V, please don't take this personally. I'm being threatened into this. Whatever happens, blame him. Not me.’O

  • From Disgrace to Glory: Rise Of The True Heiress   A Legend

    Vessara studied the girl in front of her.Emilia was beautiful, impeccably dressed, and clearly someone who had grown up pampered her entire life.Which probably explained why she was saying something so stupid."What are you looking at?" Emilia snapped.She crossed her arms and glared."Don't tell me you think I can't do it."The next second—"Ah!"A sharp scream echoed through the room.Emilia suddenly fell to the floor.Vessara didn't move. She simply stood there and watched the performance unfold.Within moments, footsteps rushed up the stairs.The commotion had drawn everyone over."What happened?"Alexander frowned as he entered the room.He instinctively reached out to help Emilia up, but she immediately shrank away.Looking pitiful, she raised tear-filled eyes toward him."Dad..."Her voice trembled."I really wanted to get along with my sister." She sniffled dramatically. "I was just showing her the bracelet you gave me."She deliberately lifted her wrist, displaying the expe

    "What were the results?"Alexander Barclay brushed past Emilia and headed straight for the doctor.The doctor pressed his lips together, visibly emotional. Without saying a word, he handed over the DNA report.Alexander's eyes immediately landed on the final number.99.99%.His vision blurred.His hands trembled."We found her..."His voice cracked."We found our daughter."Across the room, Emilia froze.She had deliberately stumbled earlier to attract attention, but now she shot to her feet, her expression filled with disbelief."Dad..."Her voice shook."What are you talking about?"What did he mean, they had found their daughter?Wasn't she already the Barclay family's daughter?The sudden revelation drained the color from her face.She looked helplessly at Alexander.Unfortunately, all of his attention was on Vessara."Emilia, sweetheart, we'll talk in a minute."His voice remained gentle."Your sister has finally come home."After reassuring her, Alexander walked straight past Em
