The Resilient Heiress

Zara Adam, who willingly went abroad because of some issues, finally returns home after enduring a grueling 11 years to ensure her family's happiness. However, her adopted sister Olivia is far from thrilled about her comeback. Olivia has been trying everything in her power to erase Zara from her life, but all her attempts have either failed or backfired on her. Zara couldn't care less about Olivia's antics. To make matters more complicated, Zara quickly gets involved with Ethan Anderson, the heir to a wealthy and influential family who is rumored to be her fiancé. This infuriates Olivia, leading her to spread malicious rumors about them. As time goes by, society starts believing that the Adam family's upbringing is more virtuous and noble compared to those raised overseas, all thanks to the rumors. Olivia becomes green with envy, but everyone gets a rude awakening when Zara's true identity is revealed. Throughout her journey, Zara faces various challenges that she overcomes with the unwavering support of Ethan by her side. Along the way, she also makes new friends while cherishing her old ones. When false rumors start targeting Zara, her four brothers, who have an intense sister complex, step up and confront anyone who dares to criticize their beloved sibling. This leads to clashes with those who try to harm Zara, and when Ethan uses his influence to protect his fiancée, the Adam brothers become furious and tell him, "We don't need your help taking care of our sister." With a calm smile, Ethan responds, "It's my duty to protect the one I love." The brothers roll their eyes at his response.

Furious Andrew

 But Olivia was unaware of this. Because, even if the Adam couple remained in this house, Kylie was the one who shown motherly affection and spent most of her time with her.

 Andrew would spend time in his study or on the third floor, but only he and Kylie know what he does there. Andrew seldom spent time with Olivia. But it doesn't mean he constantly gave her the cold shoulder.

 But whenever Andrew went out to work, Kylie would always follow him. And they would always spend more time together than couples on their honeymoon period.

 As a result, Olivia will not disturb them or inquire about their travels, instead, she will cherish the things they bring home after their journeys.

 Olivia was still shocked by what had transpired in front of her. So she didn't even hear what Kylie said, so she didn't give it any thought. Gia was the same as Olivia, but her eyes widened with horror as she continued to hear everything.

 She thought to herself, "This means that everything this girl said in the morning is true. If Madam and Master are fine with this girl being in that room, it can only imply one thing. And that is The! Room! Belonged! To! This! girl!"

 Gia wanted to hit herself so hard or become invisible as if she didn't exist in this world. But she is unable to do so. She stared at her Young Miss, who was no different from her. She did, however, silently call out to Olivia, who awoke from her trance.

 Zara glanced at her parents, who were smiling with glee, and stated, "Sorry, Dad." Andrew gazed at his daughter, who had finally arrived home, and smiled. "What are you sorry about, Baby?" Andrew inquired, caressing his daughter's hair with a grin.

 "Sorry for putting your bodyguards unconscious." Zara responded without changing her look and with a little smile on her face, which she only had when she was among her family.

 Kylie and Andrew looked shocked and recalled something. Kylie frantically said, "Lia, are you okay? You weren't injured, right?"

 Andrew's stare became stern, and he turned to Ava and questioned, "Why didn't you inform us about Lia's return?" But Andrew recalled what occurred when they got home.

 He's not the type of person who doesn't comprehend how he got to this point. He has met many people while working in business or engaging with business people. How could he still not grasp the situation here?

 Ava tried to communicate with them from the outset, but Gia interrupted often, denying Ava the opportunity to do so. His expression darkened as he reflected on what Olivia had said and done.

 His steely glance darted across Gia and Olivia. Andrew's harsh look terrified Gia and Olivia, and their faces instantly became ashen.

 "Ava, get someone to bring those bodyguards to rest. They'll wake up after a while." Zara quickly spoke while glancing at Ava. Kylie was still holding her daughter's hand as she stared at her husband, whose face was completely black with contempt.

 To calm the situation, she remarked, "Honey, let those bodyguards rest today." "They don't have to work here anymore!" His voice was extremely hoarse as he continued to glance at Gia and Olivia.

 Gia was shaking with terror when she heard the statements, and she shrank back, refusing to look up by keeping her head down.

 Now she understood why Ava urged her, "You should be the one to be cautious from now on. When the time comes, do not cry and make a spectacle in front of Master and Madam."

 At this point, she wanted to cry and ask forgiveness from the Master and Madam.

 Kylie didn't know what to do, because she could handle her spouse in any other situation. However, when it comes to their daughter, she doesn't even have to attempt to manage him. Because she understands that he will go to any length for his daughter.

 Helplessly, she looked at Zara and motioned for her to do something. The only person in this household who can exert any kind of authority over the guys is her daughter.

 "Dad, I heard you still don't believe in third brother, which is why you keep going to the company. Is this true?" Zara glanced at Andrew calmly and inquired as she proceeded towards the sofa, holding Kylie's hand.

 When Andrew heard his daughter call for him, his expression instantly softened into that of a devoted father, and he responded, "Baby, how can you trust the words from outside? Don't you know your father?"

 Kylie sighed with relief as she looked at Andrew, who was simply looking at his daughter and talking. She decided not to bother the father and daughter pair, at least until Andrew forgot about what had transpired earlier.

 But she chose to discuss this with Olivia. She can't just watch as someone try to put their hand on their own daughter.

 He sat down on the couch after the two ladies. Zara sat to Kylie's right and Andrew's left. "But this is what everyone is saying, Dad."

 "Also, didn't you always state you wanted to spend time with your wife after delegating all the work to your sons?" Zara poured a glass of water for each of them and said as she gave the glass.

 "How can we be in the mood to enjoy when you haven't returned home? And it was dull at home without you, so I chose to continue focusing on work. Isn't that good? So, when you return, you'll have more money to spend?" Andrew stated as if it was a fact.

 Olivia didn't say anything for fear of upsetting her father again. However, when she heard this, she couldn't contain her emotions because the money she had was constantly provided to her by her mother or transferred by her brothers.

 Andrew would do the same thing, but not like what he said to Zara. She didn't feel like she belonged in this household. Kylie gazed at Zara before shifting her attention to Olivia, who was still standing with Gia behind her.

 Even though Kylie was upset, she had raised Olivia for 10 years straight, so she couldn't be mad at her. So she softly glanced at Olivia and called her, "Olivia, come here."

 Olivia wanted to go when her mother called her. But she remained still as she considered her father's gazes. Kylie smiled at her and waved her closer.
