From Maid to Heiress,His Secret VengeanceChapter 1
Back then, I was still the untouchable heiress of the Graves family.
I paid off his father's gambling debts, and he became my most obedient dog.
In the three years we were together, his eyes were always dark and unreadable.
Then my true origins came to light. I was thrown out of the family overnight and became the laughingstock of the entire city.
And he knelt before the real daughter, pledging his loyalty.
Now I made my living changing hotel sheets. He was the soon-to-be son-in-law of the wealthiest family in the city.
He asked me, "Accepted your fate?"
"What else would I do?"
"...I won't allow it."
——
Won't allow it?
How laughable.

The boy who used to stand in the rain in his school uniform, waiting for me to come pick him up, now wore a tailored suit and looked down at me from above.
"Mr. Henson, I'm Employee Number 0932 at this hotel."
I tossed the rag into the bucket. Dirty water splashed up and speckled the hem of his trousers.
"My job is scrubbing toilets and making beds. I've finished cleaning this carpet for you. Is there anything else you need?"
