Reborn to My Engagement Night

Chapter 24 Afraid You Have Been Wronged

Over the years, Janessa mostly felt jealous of Madelyn.

+8 Pearls

From a young age, Madelyn was born into affluence, living a life of luxury and high regard. Everything she desired, she could effortlessly obtain.

Janessa, on the other hand, although her father was from a wealthy family, was merely an illegitimate daughter who was kept in the shadows and scorned since childhood,

From an early age, her father had kept her and her mother hidden from the world. He was terrified that outsiders would discover them and look down upon their family’s lack of honor.

Therefore, from a young age. Janessa had to endure countless hardships alongside her mother.

Eventually, unable to bear the hardships of life, her mother passed away. It was only then that her father reluctantly brought her back to the Sherritt family to raise her.

Yet, being an illegitimate child was still a fact she couldn’t escape. Even after returning to the Sherritt family, Janessa was subjected to daily torment.

Her father’s first wife not only exploited her allowance but also constantly made things difficult for her, forcing her to do all the exhausting chores.

Over the years, Janessa felt that she had been living a life even worse than that of a servant.

Had she not been silently enduring all this while, she would have likely been driven out secretly long ago. Her background was tragic as such, let alone having any family inheritance.

Based on what Janessa knew, the Thornton family’s wealth was largely destined to be inherited by Madelyn.

Usually, it didn’t bother her much, but the moment she started comparing. Janessa’s dissatisfaction grew even stronger. Her resentment toward Madelyn also intensified.

Why is it that Madelyn, who already has so much, is also bestowed by the heavens with an outstanding man like Sebastian? Why has Lady Luck not favored me in the slightest considering how tragic my life has been? This is so unfair! Unbeknownst to her, Janessa found herself lost in thought, remaining in a daze until Madelyn lightly nudged her, snapping her back to reality.

“What are you thinking about?” Madelyn asked Janessa, curiosity evident in her gaze.

“Oh, it’s nothing…” Janessa gave a somewhat dazed smile, then put on a pretense of understanding. “Madelyn, I actually understand your difficulties. What said earlier was just out of concern for you. I’m just afraid that you’ve been wronged. Please don’t misunderstand.”
