Lahat ng Kabanata ng High-Maintenance Heiress Has a Deadly Meltdown: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

My eldest brother, Adam Chapman, was the first to snap out of it. He shoved Sunny Sinclair aside and dropped to his knees beside me, trying to ease me down flat on my back."Nance! Nance, look at me! It's me, Adam! Take a deep breath!"My second brother, Beau Chapman, came scrambling over, practically falling to the floor beside me. His hands shook as he frantically dug through my bag, searching for my medication.My third brother, Claude Chapman, was a doctor. His face had gone pale as he pressed a finger beneath my nose, his voice trembling with panic. "Oxygen! Get the portable oxygen tank now!"Sunny, who had been protected behind my brothers just moments ago, was now curled up in a corner, petrified. Tears streamed down her face."I-I didn't know Ms. Chapman would react like this. I just wanted to touch the bracelet. Is she mad at me? I-I'm so scared."Hearing that fake, overly sweet voice of hers made my breathing grow even more labored.I had always suffered from severe se

The top floor of the Chapman Group building echoed with the deafening sound of shattering glass. I was like a madwoman, tearing the entire lounge apart.When someone with a condition like mine reached their breaking point, the destruction caused could be terrifying.My whole body trembled with every breath. Tears streamed uncontrollably down my face, but I couldn't stop smashing things.Adam and the others dared not come near me. They were afraid the golf club would accidentally hurt me. They could only stand there and watch until I was completely worn out.The club slipped from my hand. I leaned against the wall, drained of all strength, gasping for air.Sunny hid in Beau's arms, trembling. "Ms. Chapman is terrifying… I only drank some water, and she reacted like she was going to kill me for it."She looked at Claude with pitiful eyes. "Claude, I'm so scared. My leg hurts."As a doctor, Claude instinctively felt the need to tend to her wound. He walked over, tore open the fabri

My smile made the smug expression on Sunny's face freeze in place.She probably thought I would react like I always did, that my overwhelming episodes would cause me to break down or scream in panic. But I didn't.I simply got out of bed, reached for the fruit knife Sunny had left on the bedside table, and picked it up.Sunny yelped, and the apple slipped from her hand and rolled across the floor. I cornered her against the wall. "You enjoyed adding peanut butter to my oats, huh?"She trembled uncontrollably. Lost was the vicious and confident expression she had worn moments ago. "Ms. Chapman, please spare me… I was wrong. I'll never do it again!"I leaned close to her ear, but my voice was strangely polite. "Weren't you just so cocky? Come on. Keep taunting me."Just then, the hospital door was kicked open. Adam rushed in and roared, "Nancy, what on earth are you doing?"Beau and Claude followed right behind him. When they saw the scene, their faces dropped. Claude reacted th

When Adam, Beau, and Claude saw the document, their expressions shifted. Beau stepped in front of Sunny, shielding her behind him as he glared at me."Nancy, haven't you caused enough trouble? You were the one who said those sketches were waste paper. She was only trying to help you clean up."You even signed the designs away and gave them to her. Now that she's turned them into a finished collection, you've seriously come to steal her spotlight?"I looked at his self-righteous expression, finding it almost comical. "I signed them away?"I sneered, my eyes landing on the document in Sunny's hands. "Signature forgery is a criminal offense, Sunny."She shrank back in fear, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I didn't! That day, after you poured paint over my head, I was cleaning the floor when you threw the agreement at me. You said that as long as I signed it, those waste papers would belong to me."Claude wrapped an arm around her protectively, his face full of pity. He then turned

After that night, the Chapman family became the city's laughingstock.Sunny, whose real name was Mary, was officially arrested on charges of commercial fraud, document forgery, and attempted murder.Inside Chapman Group, Elliot took the shares I had authorized him to utilize and intervened with ruthless efficiency.The veteran shareholders behind Mary's scheme, who manipulated everything from the shadows, were uprooted. He sent them all to prison.Chapman Group's stock price plummeted. Adam, overwhelmed by guilt and anger, spent two weeks hospitalized.On the day he was discharged, he, Beau, and Claude blocked the entrance to Elliot's estate. Rain poured from the sky. The three once-untouchable heirs of the Chapman family stood outside like stray dogs.For an entire night, they stayed there in the rain.The next morning, I walked outside holding an umbrella. The moment Beau saw me, he stumbled forward. "Nance, you finally agreed to see us!"His body was soaked through. His lips
