Chapter 3Two Heirs, One Bride

Despite the impending engagement to Evan Patton, the true heir, I hadn't even met him yet. On my way to meet him, I happened upon my mother having afternoon tea on the ground floor.

"How is Evan?" I asked.

My mother set down her teacup and slowly looked up at me. "Don't worry. He's no less impressive than your previous acquaintance."

Her words sent a chill down my spine. Sure enough, my little secrets hadn't escaped my mother's notice. Fortunately, I had been diligent in my work all these years, so she had always pretended not to know.
