When Loredana was eight years old, her father left the family for his mistress, leaving them to fend for themselves abroad. Loredana and her mother, Maxina, worked multiple jobs to make ends meet. Tragedy struck when an accident claimed her little brother’s life and left her mother severely injured. Desperate to cover the hospital bills, Loredana resorted to sacrificing herself, losing her innocence in the process.
Loredana’s father returned with what he deemed “good news”: a proposal to marry Loredana into the wealthy Mendelsohn family. Despite knowing it was a ploy—given the groom’s paralysis and the inevitable unhappiness that awaited—both Loredana and Maxina understood the ulterior motives behind the offer. Her father sought personal gain at the expense of his daughter’s well-being.
Despite the circumstances, Loredana agreed to the marriage, having struck a silent agreement with her father solely for her mother’s sake.
Just then, the lift returned to its original position. The door of the lift opened. In the lobby, Loredana did not go to the VIP room while she stayed there and talked with Charles. Cormac stayed far away from them, he could not hear what were they talking about. He changed his expression when seeing…
Cormac pinched her daughter’s tender face and spoke. When talking, he looked at the bottom of the table. He saw Loredana’s legs, her ankles did not have any obvious scar. Where did she hurt herself? When waiting for their meal, Charles talked with Loredana, “Are you free tomorrow? Can I take you to see the…
Loredana grabbed the dress she took off, “You see.” Cormac was not an expert in the aspect, he could not see any difference. “The material is tea silk, it is not available in the market anymore but he knows the master that is excel in making the material. I want to hire him,” she would…
Samuel had the best dreamless sleep and he was the first to wake up in the morning. When he saw Cormac hugging Loredana, he frowned and sat up in bed as if he was angry. He finally couldn’t hold his anger and took away Cormac’s arm and got in between them to separate them. His…
Loredana felt that the people who came from a poor family would act arrogantly if they had a backer, just like this salesgirl. As the salesgirl spoke with Loredana, she sized Loredana up. She thought that the dress that Loredana wore was cheap and she was wearing a pair of disposable slippers used in the…
Loredana was just about to open her mouth to explain the situation when she was interrupted by the waitress, “Lacey, don’t listen to her. She’s the one who got these people and smashed our store like this. You’d better get someone quickly and arrest them all.” Loredana frowned. Cormac handed his daughter to Loredana, “Go…
The waitress looked down on her at first and thought Loredana was someone who couldn’t afford to buy clothes. Then she pulled Loredana, didn’t let her go, and insisted that she had to buy them, and even mentioned Charles to scare her, saying she was a prostitute … But Loredana just ignored her. When she…
“Enough!” Lacey interrupted her in a stern voice, “I returned these favors long ago!” After she grew up and was able to support herself, she often gave them money and even gave her a job. And how did she do it? She made her lose face in front of Charles. Charles waved his hand, indicating…
Loredana patted her shoulder and comforted her, “It’s okay, it will be fine.” When she managed to hire the master who knew how to make gambier canton gauze, the store was bound to have many businesses.
