All Chapters of From Disgrace to Glory: Rise Of The True Heiress: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Inmate 1151, you're free to go. We wish you a fresh start."The guard's voice echoed through the corridor as he escorted a young woman toward the prison exit.Outside, rain hammered against the ground.Vessara Barclay stood silently at the end of the narrow iron passageway, her oversized prison uniform hanging loosely from her slender frame.Five years.Five years trapped behind these walls.As she stared at the storm beyond the gates, memories she had spent years burying surfaced once more.Eight years ago, when she was only fifteen, Selena Laurent had shown up at the Laurent estate with a DNA test in hand.Overnight, everything changed.The Laurent family welcomed Selena back with tears of joy, celebrating the return of their long-lost daughter.And Vessara learned the truth.She wasn't their biological child.She was nothing more than a baby who had been switched at birth.Even then, Vessara had never blamed Selena.She had tried her best to make up for the years Selena had lost.

At that moment, Mr. Laurent finally snapped out of his shock and hurried over.“Manager Parker,” he said carefully, “there has to be some kind of misunderstanding. She isn’t some ‘Miss Ve.’ She’s my useless daughter.”Disgust filled his face.“She went to prison years ago and only got released today—”“How dare you.”Manager Parker’s expression instantly turned cold.“Someone like Miss Ve means nothing to you?” He let out a mocking laugh. “No wonder the Laurent family has never made it into the real upper class.”Mr. Laurent’s face turned red with humiliation.Before he could react, security guards had already entered the ballroom and started escorting guests out in an orderly line.The smarter guests immediately realized something was very wrong.One by one, they found excuses and left.No one wanted to get caught in the middle of this.Selena stood frozen as her carefully planned engagement party fell apart around her.Her nails dug deeply into her palms.Then suddenly—“Vessara Lau

For the first time, Vessara hesitated.Because years ago—After the Laurent family discovered she wasn’t their biological daughter, they treated her worse than a servant.Her adoptive older brother had even attempted to assault her more than once.And in her desperation, she had fled to the Valdis estate.Chairman Valdis had been the only person who ever gave her warmth.The only person who treated her like family.And Razen Valdis—He had been the one who personally took her away from the Laurent family.A flicker of emotion passed through Vessara’s eyes.Without another word, she tore a piece of paper from nearby, scribbled down a number, and tossed it toward him before leaving....Inside the hospital room—Razen stood beside the bed, staring at the sleeping old man quietly.Then he let out a slow breath.“Old man,” he muttered, “if you don’t wake up soon…”A dangerous look flickered through his eyes.“I’m going to start cleaning out the Valdis family myself.”Nearby, Nathan finish

"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

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
