Summary
Elodie’s life began as an illegitimate child in a notoriously villainous family, a clan infamous for their ruthlessness and complete lack of familial warmth. With a frail constitution and a timid demeanor, she knew her days were numbered. In three years, a charming adopted sister—the true heroine of this tale—would arrive, destined to melt the hearts of her cold father and the entire household, leaving Elodie utterly forgotten. Her plan was simple: amass enough funds and secure her independence before the ‘real’ family member showed up. But when Elodie finally declares her intentions, her supposedly heartless relatives react with an unexpected fury. ‘Independence? What kind of nonsense is that?’ they demand, their possessive gazes fixed on her. It seems this villainous family is vehemently against letting their little Elodie go. Dive into Chapter 1 to uncover the truth behind their surprising opposition!
