Semua Bab Forsaken Daughter Turns the Game Upside Down: Bab 21 - Bab 30

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

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

Being unable to dump Evander? What a joke.“If you’re not afraid you can’t dump me, then what’s so ‘not suitable’ about it?”Evander shot her a sharp glance. “I’m not a rogue. It’s just an engagement, not a marriage. Why worry about wedding night stuff?”“But...”“But what ‘but’?” This time, before she could answer, Alan cut in, “If you get to marry Mr. Westvale, it’s because my family has earned good karma for generations. You better show some respect.”In just a few minutes, Alan had already figured it out. Old Madam Westvale had spoken clearly, and what she proposed was unquestionable. The marriage alliance between the two families was set, and naturally, Chloe could never be married off to that no-good adopted son in Westvale’s third branch.The Westvale family business was controlled by Evander, head of the main branch. The third branch—just the couple—didn’t even hold nominal positions in the Westvale Group.

“Well...” Amelia hadn’t expected Elena to make such a request. As a regular doctor, she could have easily refused such cosmetic demands and recommended a well-known plastic surgeon. But now, bearing the title of a miracle doctor who revived someone from death, it would be hard to avoid suspicion if she said no. “I know it’s difficult—after all, it’s been a long time. But as long as it can be treated, money is no object!” “Mrs. Westvale, it’s not about money. This scar is an old one. Scars like this are almost impossible to remove. It has damaged the underlying muscle and can’t be repaired. If you cut it out, this cheek would be ruined!” Amelia spoke confidently, but she was basically making things up. She knew if it were that easy to fix cosmetically, Esther would’ve had it done long ago and wouldn’t have the scar shaped like a rose. That’s why she dared to say boldly, “My surgical skills are excellent, but my plastic surgery skills are lacking. However, there is

The driver didn’t even glance at Amelia and respectfully addressed the man still sitting in the car, as if he were the one who called the shots and ruled the world.“Why is it that whatever number you say is the number it has to be?”It was eighty thousand at first—now it’s three hundred thousand.“Are you trying to rob me in broad daylight? Three hundred thousand? Why not just say a million for your car?”“A million wouldn’t be enough!”Esther couldn’t help but whisper into Amelia’s ear: if she kept acting reckless like this, she’d be ruined. The other side initially offered eighty grand, or they could just go through insurance and settle it. If she gave in and softened, kept it within the insurance coverage, that would be the insurance company’s business. But instead, she kept provoking the other party, and if things escalated, those people might even claim compensation for lost wages, which would truly make her cry.People who could affor
