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.

Everything Shiloh had was thanks to the Farrells.

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

Kathryn sighed.

“People will do anything for money.” Money reveals a person's true nature, showing the worst sides of humanity.

When they reached the hospital, Kathryn turned to Pedro.

“Wait for me here.

Don't come in.” Pedro nodded and stood outside the ward as Kathryn walked down the hallway, steadying her breath before stepping inside with the bouquet.

The moment she entered, she overheard her father, Holden, griping to the staff about her coldness and Clarissa’s favoritism.
