Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Once Shiloh accepted that the rumors were true, fear crept in—fear of losing everything she’d ever known.

Back then, Clarissa was still deeply attached to Shiloh and couldn’t bear the thought of sending her back to her biological parents to live a lesser life.

So, she kept Shiloh close, but not without consequence; Shiloh was no longer considered the successor of the Farrell family.

If any legal battles arose, the Farrell family would likely come out ahead, securing more of the estate.
