Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

But they weren't satisfied. They refused to accept it. They couldn't resign themselves to their fate or simply give up.

It's easy to go from hardship to luxury, but going from luxury back to hardship? That's unbearable. Born into the Farrell family, they had come into the world with silver spoons in their mouths.

Even if they couldn't inherit everything, their mother was still the head of the Farrell family, making them young masters of privilege.

They had never known struggle or poverty. From childhood, they lived in comfort, indulging in

extravagance, spending money like it was endless. Wherever they went, people flattered and catered to them.

And then suddenly, it was all gone.

No more admiration.

No more protection when they made mistakes.

They could barely make any money on their own, and their days of carefree spending, of never having to think about the value of a dollar, were over.

They couldn't accept it.

Even with more wealth than the average person, it still wasn't enough.

They wanted it all back-the admiration, the power, the life where one word from them commanded a hundred responses.

They wanted to bask in that glory again.

Their resentment toward Kathryn had been simmering for too long, and finally, it boiled over. They took a risk.
