Chapter 5

Author: Jersey Wind
Everyone fell silent.

The smug smile on Lucille's face slowly froze.

Sawyer's brow furrowed. The calm, superior composure he had worn moments earlier cracked almost instantly.

The Hearst family was the wealthiest family in Aurelia. Their business empire stretched across the globe, and even a single Hearst project was enough to send the local elite scrambling for a chance to get involved.

Compared to the Hearsts, the Kirk family was barely worth mentioning.

And yet, here stood Horace Ca

  • My First Love Tossed Me into a Happy Ending   Chapter 9

    Lucille was formally arrested and charged with assault with a weapon and intentional injury. News of the Kirk family's bankruptcy spread throughout the city that same day.The so-called "male lead who appeared out of nowhere" and the "spoiled female lead" everyone had once adored had completely strayed from the paths their story was supposed to take.Even the audience who had once cursed me began to change their minds. "Who would've thought Clement never liked Lucille in the first place?" "He wasn't chasing the female lead. He was chasing the true heiress all along!""He fell for her ten years ago. What kind of mutual-salvation love story is this?""So, we completely misunderstood him all along?" I stopped reading the comments after that. I helped Mabel into the car and carefully bandaged her arm myself. The wound wasn't deep, but it was long enough to require a few stitches. The doctor took care of it while Mabel sat quietly through the entire procedure without making

    Lucille's face went deathly pale the moment she felt the blade against her. Mabel rushed toward me and threw her arms around my waist, burying her face against my chest. Her arm was still bleeding, and her entire body trembled violently. I could feel how tightly she was holding her breath, as though she were afraid that even the slightest movement might make me disappear. It was only now, in this moment, that she finally let down every wall she had built around herself. She was no longer the quiet girl everyone could push around or the girl who endured every humiliation without saying a word. She was simply a terrified girl who had just realized how afraid she was of losing me. I wrapped my arms around her protectively and gently rubbed her back. "I'm okay." Instead of letting go, she only tightened her grip on me. "You can't get hurt." Her voice was low and hoarse, but every word came through clearly. Something in my chest tightened at those words. The sound of a

    The comments, which had been scrolling nonstop just moments ago, suddenly froze.Then the screen exploded with a barrage of comments. "OMG!""Bankrupt in ten minutes! Is that even real?""Now this is what it looks like when a real powerhouse takes down a rich family!""Who was calling Mabel useless earlier? Come out and take your beating!""Lucille was acting so smug just a few minutes ago. Look at her now!"Lucille collapsed to the floor, her face deathly pale. As if she'd lost her mind, she clutched at the leg of her father's pants. "Dad, do something!"You said the Kirk family could never fall! You said the Hearsts wouldn't care about a child who'd been missing for years!" Bryce didn't answer. Instead, he stared at Mabel, finally realizing what he had thrown away. The girl he had always dismissed as nothing more than the driver's daughter was actually the true heir to the Hearst family. And he had personally allowed his own daughter to drive her away, humiliate her,

    Mabel opened the box. Inside lay a stunning black diamond ring. The name "Mabel" was engraved on the inside of the band. "Mrs. Hearst Sr. left this for you herself," Horace said softly."Before she passed away, she kept calling your name. She missed you more than you could ever know."He paused, his expression softening."It's a shame you never got the chance to meet her. I'm just grateful that Julian gave you the name Mabel." Mabel stared at the ring, her eyes slowly reddening. I reached out and gently took her hand.She turned toward me. Once I was sure she was looking at my lips, I spoke slowly so she could understand. "You still have a family. They've been looking for you all these years."Mabel pressed her lips together before asking softly, "What about you?" I froze for a moment. "I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." She lowered her eyes and curled her fingers around mine. Her grip tightened, as though she were afraid that if she let go, I might dis

    Everyone fell silent. The smug smile on Lucille's face slowly froze. Sawyer's brow furrowed. The calm, superior composure he had worn moments earlier cracked almost instantly. The Hearst family was the wealthiest family in Aurelia. Their business empire stretched across the globe, and even a single Hearst project was enough to send the local elite scrambling for a chance to get involved. Compared to the Hearsts, the Kirk family was barely worth mentioning. And yet, here stood Horace Cabot, the Hearst family's butler, standing respectfully before Mabel and addressing her as the heir to the family's trillion-dollar empire. Bryce was completely stunned. His lips trembled as he stared at Mabel. "W-What's going on?" Horace ignored everyone else and kept his attention fixed on Mabel. "Ms. Hearst, Mr. Hearst Sr. has been waiting 18 years to meet you."When your mother gave birth to you, you were accidentally switched with another baby. Later, you were involved in an acciden

    Mabel didn't respond. She couldn't hear Lucille. But Lucille suddenly seemed to find a target for her anger. She lunged forward and violently ripped the hearing aid from Mabel's ear. "Can't hear me? Fine. Then maybe you'll learn to listen!" The hearing aid came away with enough force to leave Mabel's ear slightly bleeding. Mabel staggered but quickly steadied herself. She clenched her teeth and refused to give Lucille the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Lucille tossed the hearing aid onto the floor and brought her heel down hard. The hearing aid Mabel had relied on for years shattered beneath her foot. And the comments section before my eyes exploded. "The female lead is finally putting the side character in her place! I love it!""Good for Ms. Kirk! Maybe now she'll finally learn her place." "The male side character finally learned who he shouldn't mess with." My blood boiled at the sight. I strode forward and kicked the back of Lucille's knee. Caught compl
