The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 349

Yesterday's malicious anonymous email flashed through Nora's mind once again.

Seeing the innocent, sweet smile on Giselle's face right now—as if she wouldn't even hurt a fly—Nora felt an indescribable chill run through her.

Who else but this arrogant heiress would be so eager to trample her, the in-name-only Mrs. Hayes, completely into the dirt at her own home-court gala?

Giselle played the part of an innocent angel in public, yet behind the scenes, she was capable of bribing suppliers to drug drinks and sending vicious emails to threaten her.

Giselle was an absolute master at being two-faced.

The lights in the hall suddenly dimmed, leaving only a single spotlight shining on the center of the stage.

Amidst the applause and well-wishes of the guests, Giselle closed her eyes and made a birthday wish in front of a massive nine-tier cake.

Soon after, a melodious waltz echoed through the banquet hall.

Gideon gave a slight bow, extended a perfect hand in invitation, and led Giselle onto the dance floor.

Julian waited nearby with a smile, ready to take Gideon's place for the next song.

All focus was centered on the dazzling siblings in the middle of the dance floor.

Nora turned her head, looking out across the banquet hall.

Giselle stood in the brightest light, surrounded and praised by everyone.

She possessed the most luxurious jewelry in the world, Gideon's boundless favoritism, and Julian's meticulous care.

She was utterly radiant, like an unreachable princess.

Nora looked down at her own hands, covered in tiny cuts from severe overwork. She looked at her dull, plain black dress, and felt the unloved new life growing deep within her womb.
