Too Ugly to Be Their Sister

Hated for her looks, Heather was abandoned by her wealthy family and raised by her grandmother in the countryside. At eighteen, she returned home with a competition gold medal — only to find her three brothers doting on the pretty adopted daughter, desperately searching for the pear-blossom girl in a photo. That girl was her. At a banquet, the adopted daughter dragged her into a champagne tower. Her mask fell off.

Her brothers finally recognized her. As thirteen years of letters and the adopted daughter's lies were exposed, they begged for forgiveness — but Heather was done waiting. She built a new home with her grandmother, stepped onto the award stage with her scientific achievements, and reserved her gratitude for those who had never looked down on her. Family came late. But she had already moved on.
