Faux Vows, True Desires

"Ruby."

Megan immediately rushed to support her daughter.

"Ruby, how are you doing? Are you okay?"

Ruby leaned on her mother, barely managing to stand.

She bit her lower lip hard, the pain sobering her. Clenching her mother's hand tightly, she spat out angrily: "No way! No way! How could Lucinda be the daughter of the Blue family from Skywatch? Stefan must have hired someone to make this up."

She had always felt that Stefan was hers alone, that country bumpkin Lucinda wasn't even worthy to shine Stefan's shoes.

She always considered herself far more noble than Lucinda.

And now they were telling her that Lucinda's status was many times more noble than hers. How could she accept this?

This was like a punch to the face, smashing her pride.

The head of the Blue family even said Lucinda could inherit around seven billion dollars from him!

The entire wealth of the Scott family didn't even reach a hundred million dollars!

Lucinda could inherit around seven billion dollars! The difference was astronomical.

She felt an unbearable gap.

If all this was true, she was not only inferior to Lucinda, and she wasn't even worthy to polish Lucinda's shoes.

She had always thought of herself as a noble girl. In front of Lucinda, who could inherit around seven billion dollars, she was the country bumpkin!

Megan also hoped all this was a farce, a show put on by Stefan's hired help.

But her experience told her it wasn't a show, it was real.
