The Heiress

Chapter 2

***

The wind was howling outside. Rain hammering on the window pane.

Another sound of shattered glasses could be heard. Sunmi was panting, curses flying everywhere. She reeked of whiskey and resentment. She wanted to vent her anger and hurt someone!

"AHHHHHH!!!" Another shout could be heard, followed by a string of curses.

"HOW DARE SHE!? How dare she disrespect me like that?"

Then she laughed like a mentally deranged woman.

"Chaeyoung ah! Chaeyoung! Very good! Let me play with you!

…

Meanwhile, Chaeyoung was sleeping comfortably in her room.

The sun was already high when Chaeyoung decided to get off her bed. She immediately dialed Wang Bolin's number telling him her itinerary for the day. She didn't want to spend any more time in the Park's mansion.

True, the mansion is listed under her name, but she felt that there is too much negativity in this house. And Chaeyoung doesn't need any negativity in her new life.

She quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth. She picked a knee-length black flared dress to wear. Then she made her way out of her room with her duffel bag. However, fate had another plan for her. She was already in the foyer when she heard her father's voice. She couldn't help but roll her eyes.

'It's just morning. And luck is already not going my way,' she thought.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?" Jacob's voice echoed.

This brought Chaeyoung back from her thoughts. She looked at her father. He still had the same sharp features. To be honest, if someone asked her, she wouldn't say that her father was good-looking. Now that she thought about it, she couldn't help but notice that they actually have no resemblance whatsoever.

"Hey! Are you deaf? Are you ignoring me? So this is what you get by staying abroad?" Her father lashed out. Chaeyoung tried to remember the words that her father said earlier. But it seems she couldn't remember anything. She wondered how she become so absent-minded lately.

"Sorry, I didn't hear you." Chaeyoung shrugged without halting her steps as she continued walking down the hall.

"Good! Very Good! You are showing just how ungrateful you are. The gods must have punished me for not raising you well. You are a bad egg to this family! How embarrassing. You are just like your mother!" She heard her father say.

"Dear, calm down. Chaeyoung is tired from her flight yesterday. She just forgot to inform you."

She heard Sunmi's high pitched voice trying to comfort her father and smiled inwardly. Chaeyoung stopped walking to stare at the couple sitting in the dining hall. She was waiting for a good show.

"Chaeyoung come here. I didn't ask the servants to call you because I know you were exhausted. Come sit down and eat with us." Sunmi said with a big smile on her face as she gestured Chaeyoung to sit.

Chaeyoung obediently sat across Sunmi. She didn't say anything and just waited for the servants to prepare some utensils, then she started to eat. She was indeed hungry.
