“How could I not blame her?”

Once again, I became the target of the audience’s fury.

“Can everyone stop making excuses for Fiona? There’s clearly something wrong with her character. What gave her the right to look down on Lily?”

“The things she said were disgusting. How could she be so vicious to her own brother’s girlfriend? Wishing death on someone? She was insane.”

“Charlotte really is a good person. Anyone could understand why she wanted praise. If she hadn’t comforted Lily, Lily might not h

  • The Real Heiress Knows How This Story Ends   Chapter 11

    After everything that happened, everyone looked at me with pity. They kept pressing premium recovery drinks to my lips as if cost were no concern, and I finally came back to myself a little.The prosecutor spoke to me gently. "Under the law, now that the convicted parties have forfeited their inheritance rights, you are the remaining eligible heir to the Shaw family assets. How would you like to handle it?"I was still weak, so I said softly, "I don’t know how to run a business. Could they be liquidated and paid out to me in cash?"The prosecutor nodded.That meant there would be no Shaw Group left in this world. The empire my father spent decades building would be reduced to nothing but a sum of money.My father nearly lost his mind. He lunged forward, trying to stop me. "Fiona Shaw! You can’t do this! That was decades of my life’s work! How could you do this?"My mother cried as she tried to hug me. "I’m sorry, my good daughter. I was wrong!"My brother was probably a true love-add

  • The Real Heiress Knows How This Story Ends   Chapter 10

    "She was the Shaw family’s true heiress, yet no one loved her. They even accused her of murder.""Fiona really did so much for them. I shouldn’t have insulted her earlier. I’m sorry...""She was allergic to dogs, yet she still took Lucky with her when she left. I’m actually going to cry."My brother, Ethan Shaw, looked confused.This was not what Charlotte told him. Wasn’t I the one who drove Lily Hart away? Hadn’t I threatened to ruin her?Why did Lily look as if she and I were actually close?Even his girlfriend had been part of Charlotte’s scheme against me!And then...His face suddenly went paper white, and he murmured, "There was poison in that bottle..."The poison in the wine only took effect when combined with something in that night’s dinner. No one expected Charlotte to snatch my wine, and no one imagined I would leave the Shaw family so decisively.In the end, by a cruel twist of fate, he killed the person who actually drove Lily away, but he refused to accept it.He had

  • The Real Heiress Knows How This Story Ends   Chapter 9

    Charlotte stood beside him with a grief-stricken expression.This wasn’t the first time they had acted this way, so I was used to it and paid little attention.For the first time, my brother gave me a bottle of red wine. He said no one in high society could avoid drinking, so I needed to learn how to appreciate wine.I didn’t think much of it. After he left, I sat on the couch and opened the bottle.I knew nothing about wine. It smelled rich and fragrant, but before I could take a sip, Charlotte walked over and snatched the glass from my hand.With no one else around, she mocked me without holding back.“You think you’re worthy of drinking wine this expensive? Country bumpkins like you should stick to tap water.”She drained the glass I had poured and tossed the rest of the bottle into the trash.“Get this through your head. I’d rather throw it away than let you drink it. You’re. Not. Worthy.”She emphasized every word.Suddenly, I felt utterly drained.I had lived a hard life ever si

    “How could I not blame her?”Once again, I became the target of the audience’s fury.“Can everyone stop making excuses for Fiona? There’s clearly something wrong with her character.

She was insane.”“Charlotte really is a good person. Anyone could understand why she wanted praise. If she hadn’t comforted Lily, Lily might not have simply disappeared. She might have taken her own life.”Everything I had done before was dismissed in that moment.I could be difficult and spoiled, but I couldn’t disregard human life or forget where I came from after growing up in the countryside.Someone shouted, “Even if Fiona didn’t kill Charlotte, someone should investigate what happened to Lily. What if Fiona killed her too?”The audience was thrilled.They couldn’t wait to brand me a criminal and see me receive the punishment they th

    But Charlotte knew it hadn’t been her, and she knew exactly who made the deposit.She leaned against my father’s chest and glanced up at me, raising one eyebrow.It looked half like a boast and half like a challenge.Onstage, my father looked utterly defeated. His precious daughter had gotten pregnant after sleeping with another man, while the daughter he despised had scrimped and struggled, selling her clothes and taking on part-time work to raise money for him.To make matters worse, Liam Lawson and his fiancée were standing among the audience.A sharp slap rang through the room as Liam’s fiancée struck him across the face. He tried to grab her arm and explain, only for her to slap him again.“Liam, what did you tell me back then? You said you were drunk and mistook her for me. I forgave you because I didn’t want to destroy the alliance between our families.“And what happened afterward? You kept meeting Charlotte behind my back, got her pregnant, and then refused to take responsibi

    “Don’t slack off, okay?”I didn’t know why my eyes suddenly stung, but I quickly nodded. “Of course!”By the time I finished tutoring and returned, my mind felt like mush, and my stomach was cramping badly.The last time I got too busy and forgot to eat, the doctor warned that continuing this way would damage my health.But I had no choice.I had so little time to earn money that I temporarily moved into the dorms.I once ran into Charlotte by accident. She was alone for once, without her usual entourage, hiding in a small grove while making a phone call.“I’m pregnant! Who else could the father be?” Her voice was frantic. “Even if nothing happened that first time, there’s no telling what happened during the other times you called me over. If you refuse to take responsibility, I’ll tell your fiancée. “Once the wedding is called off, we’ll see whether your mother gets angry enough to disown you!”The fragments of the conversation made me realize that the person on the other end was
