Jilted Bride 22

Chapter

22

Emily sat curled up on her bed and hugged her knees, her head down, her face pale and lifeless. She looked like she'd been dealt a huge blow

Heather's heart broke at the sight of her little princess-once so full of life-now reduced to this. She wrapped her arms around Emily and softly whispered words of comfort, "Honey, I swear, I'll find out who did this to you. They'll pay for what they did. But first, eat something, please? Let me feed you."

Find out who did this? Yeah, right. You're all talk and no action, Emily thought bitterly.

Heather called for the maid to bring some porridge and carefully brought a spoonful to Emily's lips. But Emily turned her head away and kept her mouth tightly shut. She refused to take a single bite

Heather pleaded with her in tears, Owen, unable to stand watching any longer, dismissed Heather with a few stern words and took the bowl from her. "Emily, is this how you carry yourself as my daughter! You can't even handle a little setback? Owen said in a serious tone

Emily's emotions flared as she heard her father's words. She had been pampered her entire life and had never faced such humiliation

"It must be Ophelia, that bitch! She's jealous of everything I have, so she's trying to destroy me. Dad, why couldn't I be your only daughter?" Emily's eyes burned red as she stared at Owen. She couldn't figure out why she had to share what was hers with someone else, and why Ophelia had to compete with her. She wanted Ophelia gone for good.

for yourself Seeing his daughter so distraught softened Owen's heart. He sat beside her on the bed and said, "To me, Emily, you are my only daughter. Everything I have will be yours. But first, you gotta win back your dignity. Sitting here feeling sorry isn't going to fix anything. I know you want to get close to the Sinclair family, and I support that."

Emily's eyes instantly lit up as she asked, "Really, Dad?"

"Of course. But first, you need to keep things steady with the Lewis family. Let's take one step at a time, alright? Come one, cat something, and I'll tell you what to do next," Owen said with a gentle smile.

Emily obediently took the bowl and began eating the porridge, her movements robotic. But there was something else- something she was too scared to admit to Owen
