The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 25 "It Awaits Them"
Harriet’s POV I woke up feeling a tingling pain in my neck. As I forced my heavy eyes opened, their dropped shut several times before the image of my surroundings went clear. ‘I am still inside the airplane.’ As far as I can remember, I am sitting on the seat between Cassius and Zion. Which means, if I fell asleep and found myself leaning my head onto my right sight, then I am leaning onto someone’s else shoulder and not by the window. ‘Who is it again?!’ Trying to regain my memory, Cassius’ image appeared inside my mind. ‘Oh my god. I am leaning to Cassius’ shoulder right now!’ Our present positions were almost the last that I could hope to happen. Grave embarrassment seized upon me, and the chill of shame made my head shut down above me like a pile of cloud. I felt the pounding of my heart, which wasn’t cause by being overwhelm but rather because of huge disgrace to myself. My brain is in the mess, like it sat on a chair without seat-belt and the roller coaster ride start
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 26 "Cassius' Return"
Sherly’s face lost its color the moment she heard that the first grandson of the chairman will return home. Worst, she heard it late at the day Cassius will return. The greedy madam of the household went on a run to meet her husband.“Is it true? That the kid will come?” she asked to Finn.With hands behind him, Finn stands by the window. He could not answer his wife, as he also could not believe if the news he heard is true.‘Cassius will come?’ he asked himself.Before Cassius went to New York, Sorren told Finn that there’s no way the kid will come back again. He would never forget that since it is also the time when his father treated him so coldly.

The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 27 "His Cure"
Zion, Cassius and Harriet have ceased their feet as soon as they saw Finn, Sherly and Madell waiting for them near the entrance. Sherly is wearing an angel mask to conceal her emotions for her unwanted nephew. Finn stared Cassius apathetically after greeting him, while Madell could not hide her astonishment towards her handsome cousin. She was so thunderstruck at Cassius’ beauty that Madell thinks she found the most gorgeous man in the world. Majority in this place shows great anticipation towards Cassius, except Finn, Sherly and Zion. But how about Cassius himself? His jet black her, tall nose, gray eyes, think lips, clenched jaw, and each particular hair of his skin, expressed intense disgust. Still, Cassius tried his best to maintain his expression as he stepped closer to Harriet. Heart pounded so hard. Just seeing the face of Finn and Sherly whom disgusted him so much, made him feel intense loathing. Now it is scarcely impossible to convey the extraordinary disgust which the
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 28 "Comforts"
The panic attack that Cassius had a while ago stayed vividly in Harriet’s mind. It is the same reaction she saw when they got trapped under the collapsed building. Cassius did not see a large portion of water. So what made him panicked? ‘It is his own relatives,’ Harriet answered the mystery in her head. The reason why Cassius does not want to go home is because he despise the Fabroa family; the family Harriet vowed to take a revenge. Slowly, Harriet stared at the man who’s sitting beside her on the same bench. When Cassius calmed, they went to the mansion’s back garden stayed under the shade for a long time. Harriet dared not to speak. She knows that during at this moment, the best comfort that she can offer is her presence and not a bunch of good words. She looked around, watching the lovely sights of the the garden that are truly a view to behold. There is color everywhere – bright color, subtle color – pinks, reds, yellows, oranges, purples, greens. As the wind blew, the f

“Harriet!”Harriet and Cassius tilted their heads. They saw a woman approaching their side with an angelic smile on her innocent face.As soon as Harriet saw Reese, her hands around Cassius have tightened. Cassius felt the sudden rage. He looked at her hands and to Harriet’s sharp eyes which were fixed to the coming lady.“I didn’t know that you will go back home now!” Reese gasped then she deliberately stared alternately at Cassius and their hands. “But… who is this man you’re holding?”Harriet quickly let go of Cassius hand. She cannot let Reese create a malicious rumor about her and Cassius.“R-Reese,” Harriet murmured. “Where did you go from?”“Ohhh, w-well…” Reese scratched her nape awkwardly.She cannot let Harriet finds out that she planned on meeting her father. Not yet.‘I still cannot decide whether I’ll say the truth or not,’ Reese told to herself.Reese smiled at Harriet and changed the topic.“Hey! That is not important!”She grabbed Harriet’s hands and held it tightly. A
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 30 "Who is More Desperate"
“You followed Harriet on the way to New York?” Finn asked his son, Zion.The members of Fabroa family were seated together inside Finn’s room. They gathered here after meeting Cassius, who returned home after a long time.“Yes. I followed her,” Zion proudly answered. He crossed his long legs, wrapped his hands on his knees and smiled at his parents.“Why did you follow that lowly woman?” his mother, Sherly, rebuked.“Harriet got into an accident. And she is my secretary. So I don’t see any wrong with following her to New York.”“Huh,” Madell suddenly laughed. She mockingly stared at her brother and said, “The boss followed his secretary. This is so rare. Brother, you look like an owner who followed his dog. It will be funny if the owner wag his tail in front of the dog.”Zion’s arrogant eyes shot straight to his sister. He sneered at her first, then replied, “As far as I can remember, you are still under provision, right?”The smile on Madell’s lips vanished.“Why don’t you act as if
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 31 "Being a Villain like You"
There are no CCTV around my room. It is obvious that Madell asked the servants to take out all cameras so that she can abuse me whenever she wanted. I remembered times when she will knock in my room just to give me a good slap. Well, I tolerated her craziness before because I was stupidly in love with her brother. Yes. I was an idiot who hoped that we can still be family if only I tried. But not now. After the second slap on her face, Madell is now on her hands and knees on the ground. When she turned back to me, I could clearly see how red her cheeks are. ‘So satisfying to see.’ “How dare you?!” she shouted, shooting laser with her sharp eyes. All of her body are trembling, not because she’s frightened, but because she’s so eager to hit me back. “I only did that to remember if I hit miss Madell or not,” I answered with sarcastic smile on my lips. “But I guess, it is such a hard job. Maybe, if my hand turned numb from hitting you, then I can remember.” I showed her my right
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 32 "The Best Actress"
Both of cheeks got swollen red and I could feel the tingling pain spread out all of my face. It feels like something is burning and they went as big as two burger buns. Nevertheless, I am so used of receiving physical pain so this does not much worry me at all. I practiced how to treat myself too.To aid my reddened cheeks, I went to the mansion’s kitchen. I put ice cubes inside a clean towel and pressed them on my face. It’s cool enough to subside my anger.As I pressed the ice and stared at the blank space, I recalled how shocked the chairman was when he saw me sitting on the ground in front of his granddaughter. Actually, I already expected that the chairman will walk around that area because he always feels thirsty during that time. It is his night routine, which I won’t forget because I’ve served him for long years. That was why I purposely slapped myself and pretended like a victim.‘Well, I am indeed a victim of Madell’s abuse. It just that I found a way how to fight back and t

In exchange, Zion had to marry Reese even if she’s an impostor. Zion gambled his whole life just to protect Harriet. But in the end, Harriet died. Why didn’t he hear anything about this beforehand?

But soon, they decided to rest.I took a deep breath as the water closed in around me.‘I’ll never see my father again.’‘And Cassius, he will cry if I die, right?’The light filtering down through the water mocked me.

The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 206 "Dying Again"
Cassius shoved his hand inside his pocket. He made sure that he brought the ring with him before going to Harriet’s mansion. He wanted to rent a huge place to do his proposal. But he changed his mind. If there’s one good place to do it, then it is the Wyatt’s garden. Smiling, Cassius entered the mansion. As he stepped inward, Cris, the maid, stopped when she saw him. “Sir Cassius!” she gasped. Cassius looked at the maid who called him in a surprised tone. Cris ran towards him. She was very confused. “W-Why are you here, Sir?” Cris asked. Cassius forged a cough as he shyly answered, “W-Where’s Harriet? I came here to meet her.” “Huh?” That’s weird. As far as Cris can remember, it was Cassius who texted Harriet to meet him in the Damsel park. But, here he is, looking for her. “This morning, I lost my phone. So, I was worried if Harriet was waiting for my text or call,” Cassius added. It was true that he lost his phone this morning, but he was only saying an excuse to see Harr
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 206 "Damsel Park"
Harriet couldn’t sleep well that night. She rolled onto her bed, thinking how and when would Cassius propose to her. She was very excited. “You look like you’re in a good mood,” Astell noticed while eating breakfast with his daughter. Harriet smiled at him and said, “Yes. It is because I found something that I shouldn’t see. Now, I am excited.” Astell chuckled. Despite everything that happened lately, he was glad that his daughter is feeling alright. “What is your plan today?” Astell asked. “I am going to check the new project you are working on. You told me to learn more, so I am doing my best to follow your steps, father.” “Really? I don’t want to force you to take this path. If you want something to achieve, you can have it.” “No, father. Ever since I worked as Grandpa’s secretary, I knew that I love this job. Please, let me enjoy learning from your line of work.” At first, Astell doubted if Harriet would really like to continue his journey as the owner of Wyatt corporation
The Billionaire's Real Daughter Chapter 205 "Unfinished"
Harriet’s POV It’s been one month since that day. I would never forget the time I saw the truth in my own eyes. That moment when Zion was begging his father to come back. [“Poor child. I did my best. But I guess you are more qualified to teach him.”] Those were the murderer's last words before disappeared. All along, we suspected Sherly, Finn, Madell or Reese. In the end, we discovered that the murderer was neither of them, but residing in one of them. It was Finn’s personality, Victor. When Cassius and I arrived in the mansion to save the Chairman, we only saw Grandpa gasping for air on the floor while holding his neck, and Zion begging his father. It was quite a sight to remember; the sight where the future changed and no one died. The Chairman was taken to the hospital. Finn either, before the police took him and interrogated. When Grandpa regained his consciousness, he told us everything, from the fact that Victor killed Diana in order to protect the police. Until now, Gran

Sorren called Finn after meeting Elona. The prosecutor was still interrogating Madell, and Reese was on the run. Yet, Sorren does not want another day regretting not knowing the truth. More than the corporation’s reputation, Sorren prioritized saving his son from the nightmare and protecting the people around him. Thus, he sat in front of Finn, with Jasmine tea settled on the center table. No one took a sip as they talked in silent arguments with their eyes. Just like in the original future. “Why did you call me? I was very busy, father. Also, it is also weird for you to look for me when I know how much you hate me.” “Why did you do that, Finn?” Sorren asked. Finn stared at his father and tilted his head. “What do you mean?” Sorren gritted his teeth as he stared at his son. “Why did you kill Diana?” Finn’s eyes widened. He lowered his head and acted, “I don’t know what you are talking about. Diana left me a long time ago. She’s not dead!” “W-What?” Then with his head ha

A week ago, Zion met with the owner of Elona boutique. Sitting across Zion, Elona smiled. She stared at the young man who resembled his parents, the handsome Finn and the gorgeous Sherly. Then, with a grin on her lips, she said, “It seemed that everyone from that family came and visited my shop. The father, the mother and the daughter. And now, It’s you. It made me feel like I am already part of the family.” Zion observed Elona’s sneer before he mimicked her expression; the kind of beam that wouldn’t reach the eyes. “To be a real part of our family, meeting my father, mother and sister isn’t enough. There is one person you should meet,” Zion responded. “Do you mean you?” “Somehow. But there’s one more person. That’s the head of the house, my Grandpa, the Chairman of Fantell group.” Elona stopped for a moment before she chuckled. “Wait a minute. Is that a threat? Did you come here to threaten your father’s mistress?” “No. Even if you are his real mistress, I wouldn’t waste my
