“I said—dad’s not home!” Yelena smirked victoriously.

“Dad forgot all about your visit today! I mean, given the kind of man you got married to, is it really necessary for dad to welcome you back? Please, it’s embarrassing enough as it is!”

“I don’t need any welcoming!”

Cordelia sprang up to stop Yelena. “I want my wedding gift!”

“Wedding gift?”

Yelena arched a brow and smirked vilely at her. “What wedding gift? Never heard of it!”

Cordelia was stunned, but her heart beat fast. At that moment, all the reluctance, indignation, and resentment she felt rushed through her. She knew that she did not have a high starting point. The second she had come to this world, she had been stamped with the label of an illegitimate daughter.
