Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Shiloh's brothers sat in silence.

Marco let out a low hum. "It's good that you're feeling better. There's no point dwelling on sadness. What really matters is avenging Shiloh and getting justice."

The two brothers remained quiet. They were never particularly capable. Back when their father worked as the butler for the Farrell family, their family lived comfortably. They had a high income, excellent benefits, and were the wealthiest household in their village. Believing their wealth would last forever, the brothers never cared for education. Instead, they wasted their days running around with bad company, spending recklessly on alcohol and women.

It wasn't until they got married and had children that they finally grew more responsible. But by then, their father had been imprisoned, and their younger sister, Kathryn-whom they had mistreated-had returned to the Farrell family.

She wanted nothing to do with them. The most she did was give them some money.

With that money, and some of their parents' savings, the brothers built houses in the village and furnished them well. But soon after, their financial situation took a drastic turn for the worse.

Once Kathryn rejoined the Farrell family, they thought they could use her to gain control- just as their father had once manipulated the family. They assumed that through Kathryn, they could reap the same benefits he once had.

Their father had been determined to make Shiloh the head of the Farrell family so that he could rule through her, securing power and wealth for their family. His plan nearly worked until everything fell apart. Kathryn left. Shiloh never came back.
