Heiress by Blood, Not by Mistake

Lila Hale had been with Colton Voss for five years—and had been treated as a stand-in for those five years—enduring his constant contempt, mockery, and all manner of neglect. Colton Voss had always believed Lila Hale to be an orphan with no redeeming qualities. He callously trampled on her dignity and even mistakenly suspected her of deliberately infiltrating the Grant family to climb the social ladder, constantly making things difficult for her and plotting against her. Little did he know that the very Lila Hale he so casually looked down upon was actually the long-lost daughter of the wealthy Grant family—and the younger sister of Savannah Grant, the woman he had been pursuing for years. After the sisters were reunited and Savannah Grant learned of the injustices Lila Hale had endured for so many years, her protective instincts kicked in, and she was consumed with rage. Determined to see justice done for Lila Hale, she transferred all corporate shares, high-end shopping malls, and luxury retail stores into Lila Hale’s hands, standing by her side in every matter. The family will stipulated that Lila Hale must become engaged before turning 24 to inherit her rightful share of the estate. Her stepmother, Priscilla Grant, has been waiting for an opportunity to seize the family fortune. Sebastian Carter, the heir to the Carter family—who had been betrothed to the Grant family since childhood—has been eagerly awaiting Lila Hale’s return and is willing to spend his entire fortune to marry her. Under Savannah Grant’s protection and Sebastian Carter’s unconditional affection, Lila Hale no longer chose to endure or back down. She repeatedly exposed the greedy schemes of Priscilla Grant and Colton Voss, publicly unmasking their plot to seize the family fortune. Lila Hale finally breaks free from her humiliating past as a stand-in and, armed with family love, immense wealth, and sincere affection, embraces her own moment of glory.
