Freya Maiden always believed she was unlucky. Her mother passed away from cancer, leaving her completely alone. She couldn’t afford tuition or living expenses, so she had to take on part-time jobs. To make things worse, after entering university, she encountered a notoriously strict professor—Clarence Finerman. He monitored her every move, harshly scolding her for the smallest mistakes. Even when she was bullied by her classmate, Stella, Clarence insisted it was Freya’s fault.
Until one day, Freya discovered Clarence’s attention had a purpose. He was the legal advisor to billionaire Jack Ramaswamy, who had died months earlier, leaving behind a will that entrusted his trillion-dollar fortune to an illegitimate daughter.
The heiress’s name?

Now everyone was looking at her like she might actually be the victim.
