Semua Bab Forsaken Daughter Turns the Game Upside Down: Bab 11 - Bab 20

When Chloe got the message from Kendall, she was still fuming from being scolded by Alan. Ever since she came home, Alan had pinned huge hopes on her. Right out of the gate, he appointed her executive president of the company.Previously, Esther had only been a finance clerk—officially “starting from the bottom” since she wasn’t a biological daughter. Of course, the company’s key roles wouldn’t go to her. Even if Chloe never came back, he still had a son, so the family fortune was never meant for her.But when Chloe returned, Alan felt like heaven was smiling on him—two kids, a boy and a girl. He immediately handed her the executive president title, planning to retire soon and pass the chairman role to his son. That way, the family wealth would all stay “in-house.”Since his son was young and clueless, the real responsibility fell on his daughter. The moment Chloe took office, Alan entrusted her with the huge task of negotiating financing—trusting his own flesh

She clicked to read the message:[Esther, it’s me, Kendall. My brother offended Levi’s girlfriend and got locked up. Can you ask Levi to let him go? He listens to you!]…What the actual hell?!She wanted to hurl her phone across the room.Hadn’t they already cut ties? Hadn’t she blocked her?Where did this woman get the nerve to act like she was still entitled to anything?She handed the phone to Judy with a sarcastic smile. “Here. Check out the ‘friend’ that Chloe stole from me.”Judy’s eyes darkened the moment she read the message.“What the hell? Chloe actually thinks I’m in the same category as this?”She angrily typed a reply with Esther’s phone: [Didn’t we cut ties? Go ask your Davenier Family princess to help you!]A response came almost immediately:[Levi only listens to you. The Westvale family hasn’t denied your engagement to Evander, so he still recognizes

Originally, everyone had been reading their scripts or spying on the competition. After all, there were only so many roles to go around, but a whole pack of wolves vying for them. Before fighting for the meat, they had to tear each other apart first—any less competition was good competition. So when Élodie shouted like that, everyone’s firepower instantly turned toward Esther.“What’s up with that face? Got beaten up for being a homewrecker, huh?”“This clown-faced thing dares to compete with us for the lead role? Isn’t she just wasting the director’s time?”“Someone call security and get her out of here already…”“Throwing her out isn’t enough!”The jeering hadn’t even faded when Sabine snapped, “What is this, some amateur street play? No audition invite, yet you sneak in like you’re owed something. These days, every girl thinks she can be a star—cling to someone famous, ambush the director in the bathroom, and boom, she lands the role. How’s that

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

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
