Chapter 1

The very day my father 'died', Liam Harrison called off our engagement.

He immediately turned around and got engaged to his childhood sweetheart, planning to kick me out of my own home.

He was sprawled on the couch in my family's mansion, his expression chillingly indifferent.

"Your dad's gone, so there's no need to hide it from you anymore. Amber's pregnant with my child, and I have to take responsibility for her."

"If you can just stay by my side, be subservient and take good care of Amber and the baby, I might still throw you a bone. Otherwise, get out!"

Liam's mother, Maureen, who used to be our household help, stepped forward, hands on her hips, jabbing a finger right at my face.

"I worked as a maid for the Vance family for twenty years. Your father just up and died, leaving nothing behind! This mansion? Consider it my compensation. From now on, you're the maid here!"

Looking at the arrogant sneers on their faces, a cold chill spread through my heart.

My father's 'death' was actually just a stunt, a strategic move in a brutal business war.

Who knew it would expose the true colors of this mother and son duo so perfectly.
