The Stolen Life

When she woke up again, she was no longer in that cold utility room. Instead, she was in her familiar luxury apartment, which Goden had bought for her.

"Aya, you're finally awake. When I found you in the utility room last night, you were burning up and unconscious. You nearly scared me to death," Goden said.

"Thank goodness I had my private doctor come over right away to treat you during the night. You've finally broken the fever."

He placed his hand on her forehead, his expression filled with great concern.

But when Aya thought about what had happened last night, she immediately turned her head to the other side.

"Aren't you supposed to be by Mikss Keats's side right now? What are you doing here with me?"

"Aya, I'm sorry. I didn't stand up for you right away last night. My parents were watching me, and if they knew that I'm in love with you, they definitely wouldn't approve. Give me some time. I'll try to persuade them properly. Don't worry, you'll be the only woman I'll ever marry."

At the Keats villa, a dramatic scene was unfolding at the moment. There were shattered cups and saucers scattered all over the floor. Some precious jewelry was also broken and lying in pieces on the ground. It was clear just how enraged the eldest daughter of the Keats family was.

The servants nearby were trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.

They all knew that the eldest young lady wasn't as kind as she pretended to be.

"Aunt Sarah, how could you mess this up?"

Selina shrieked.

"How could you let Goden take that slut away? You need to make her come crawling back right now!"

Selina was screaming hysterically.

"Miss, that little bitch's phone is turned off. But don't worry, she's always listened to me since she was a kid. Look at this banquet. When I asked her to help out, she obediently came back, didn't she? In a couple of days, I'll make sure she comes to you in person and begs for forgiveness with a thorny branch on her back," Aunt Sarah said nervously, bowing and apologizing continuously as she stood beside the eldest young lady.

Mrs. and Mr. Keats were worried seeing their daughter so worked up. "Darling, don't get so angry that you make yourself ill. People of your noble status are leagues above those lowly servants. And a prestigious family like the Browns would never in a million years allow a wild girl from a servant background to join their family," Mr. Keats consoled his daughter.

"Even if that brat Goden doesn't know any better, his parents would never in a million years allow it. Don't be angry anymore. I've made an appointment for you to have afternoon tea with Mrs. Brown," Mr.Keats said. Seeing the confident look on Mrs. Keats's face, as if she had everything under control, Selina gradually calmed down.

Yeah, the difference between her and Aya had been determined the moment they were born.

She was born into nobility, the only daughter of the Keats family.

In this world, whatever she wanted was within her reach.

On the other hand, Aya was only fit to live like a rat, scrounging around in the gutters.

After thinking it through, she took the gift her mother had prepared for her and went to meet Mrs. Brown.

In an upscale coffee shop in the shopping mall: "Auntie, look. I specially brought this top-notch pearl necklace for you all the way from abroad. It's a limited edition worldwide, and only someone as noble as you, Auntie, is worthy of wearing it," Selina said.

Selina put the necklace on Mrs. Brown herself.

Mrs. Brown patted Selina's hand affectionately, clearly in a good mood. "You're so thoughtful, Selina. If our unruly son could marry you, it would be a great blessing for our Brown family!"

Upon hearing that, Selina feigned shyness.

"It would be my great honor to marry into the Brown family, but I'm not sure what Brother Goden thinks about it," Selina said demurely. Upon hearing this, Mrs. Brown's smile was so wide that it almost split her face, and she was overjoyed.

The Keats family was an established name, with deep roots and an illustrious family background, making them the perfect candidate for an alliance through marriage.

What's more, Selina was the only daughter of the Keats family.

If her son could marry her, then all of the Keats' vast wealth would eventually become part of the Brown family's assets.

This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

She was eager to finalize the marriage arrangements with Selina right then and there.

But at that moment, Mrs. Brown happened to glance out through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the coffee shop and witnessed a shocking scene...
