Chapter 21

After Owen came out of the ICU, Katie stayed by his side constantly, not wanting anyone to come and disturb Owen’s recovery.

So when she came out of the hospital that day and was ready to go home to change clothes and take a shower, she noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely.

It wasn’t until she took out her phone that she realized the internet was flooded with posts about herself.

The things that had always been intentionally covered up by the Morley family are now being magnified and displayed in front of everyone.

There were those who saw her confess her love to Nathan when she was 18, those who witnessed her attempt to enter Nathan’s room only to be turned away, those who saw her beg without dignity at the auction, and those who knew she was not the biological daughter of the Morley family.

There was a lot of online abuse, indicating that there was such a good opportunity to become crazy like a sparrow, but some people insisted on ruining their own future.

Netizens were also led by the water army, starting to imagine that Katie knew her bloodline was impure and was unwilling to give up the wealth and glory of the Morley family, so she deliberately seduced Nathan in order to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory.

In fact, Katie had heard these words many times before, even worse ones. But there was one thing she couldn’t stand.

The above mentioned that Katie embarrassed the Morley family, ultimately it was Owen’s fault. His illness was a punishment from the

Morley family ancestors. If he continues to protect Katie stubbornly, he will not live for much longer.

Katie was furious and immediately made a phone call, wanting to find out. who was behind the mischief.

But on the way home, she couldn’t help but wonder if Owen’s illness was indeed related to herself.

Even though his illness had nothing to do with me, this time his fainting was also triggered by something related to me.

Katie’s mood suddenly plummeted. She remembered the morning of her 18th birthday when Owen called her to the study and handed her a jade pendant from the drawer, which, while not very expensive, was of decent quality.

At that time, he said the jade pendant was taken off by his grandmother from her neck before he joined the army, saying it was for his safety.

Later, Owen carefully put it away. It was his old comrade–in–arms, in need of a good rest.

Now that she has turned 18, many things can be decided by herself in the future. Owen’s suggestions were becoming less and less, but no matter what choices she made, he hoped to have this jade with her, helping her turn bad luck into good fortune.

Katie then placed the jade in the small drawer next to the bed.

It was on that day that Owen suddenly fell ill.

Katie was extremely anxious and hurried back to look for the jade, but the drawer was clean and empty, with nothing inside.

She thought of Emelia and rushed to her house in one breath.

Chapter 21

When Katic pushed the door open, Emelia was standing in front of a huge dressing mirror, wearing Katie’s custom–made dress from when she was 18, limited–edition jewelry from when she was 16, and an out–of- production handbag from when she was 14.

It’s no wonder Emelia now has a black card in hand and still wears Katie’s clothes. The Morley family has spoiled her too much, every item they bring out is a rare treasure.

But Katie didn’t care at all, and decided to move out the moment she had already let go of these things.

She simply asked, “Where is the jade in my drawer?”

Emelia ignored her and busied herself taking photos with her phone.

When Katie faced her, she had little patience. She walked up and snatched the phone, then threw it directly on the ground, asking coldly, “Where is the jade?”

There was a hint of malice in Emelia’s eyes, but she concealed it very well. “It was packaged so nicely, I thought it was some kind of treasure. I spent thousands to have that material identified, only to find out it was worthless. I threw it away immediately.
