The Villainess's Maniacal Aesthetics - Chapter 9

Back in my room, I closed the door and slid down against it, slumping to the floor.

How ridiculous.

No wonder after my mother passed away, my father’s attitude towards me and Jiang Huaning did a complete one-eighty. He became cold and distant with me, never showing me a pleasant expression. But with Jiang Huaning, he was endlessly indulgent, as if she were his real daughter.

It turns out… she was.

And my mother died without ever knowing.

I closed my eyes, a bitter taste rising in my throat.

The Jiang family was no safe harbor for me.

But thankfully, I had a mother who loved me more than anything.

I stood up and walked to the safe hidden behind my wardrobe, entering the combination. Inside was a trust fund agreement-the very thing my father had always wanted to get his hands on. My mother had converted all her assets into a fund for me. According to the agreement, the money would only be officially transferred to me when I turned twenty.

And tomorrow…

Was not only my engagement party.

It was also my twentieth birthday.

My fingertips gently traced my mother’s signature.

An engagement party, is it?

Fine.

Let’s see whose nightmare tomorrow will truly be.
