Love Deceptions and Rebirth Novel – Chapter 5
After the breakup, I quit Nathan’s company and returned to the Harper family to take over our wealth and business.
The Harper Group was massive, and as the heiress, it was time I stepped up.
Back then, Ethan thought I was just some ordinary girl—struggling with part-time jobs and scholarships. He felt pity for me, which made him extra gentle. I was afraid he’d be angry if he found out who I really was, so I kept it hidden.
In my past life, I had planned to tell him after we got engaged. But he chose Chloe instead, and I forgot all about it.
Now, it didn’t matter—I was done with him.
Chloe was a heiress too, but the Brooks family was fading, aiming to climb via the Parkers. They sent her back to snag Ethan and climb the social ladder.
With Ethan, Chloe was a delicate flower; without him, her true colors showed.
She studied dance abroad, and online, she was praised as a talented, hardworking dancer. With her heiress status, fans called her a kind, diligent princess.
Now, Chloe posted online:
“My crush and his girlfriend broke up. Should I confess? I’m too scared.”
Comments exploded:
“Go confess! Don’t miss your chance!”
“Wow, a heiress like her crushing on someone? He must be amazing!”
“Same!”
“Anyone else curious how they split up?”
“Insider here! Her crush is a certain Parker Group heir.”
“Wasn’t he engaged? Heard he fought his family for her.”
“How’d they split?”
“Gotta be the fiancée’s fault. He fought his family for her—if they split, it’s not his fault.”
“So the heiress has been pining, loving him in vain?”
“Wait, look! Parker heir reposted her post!”
Ethan: “I misjudged, loved the wrong person, but I promise, I’ll love you right from now on.”
Fans cheered: “My ship’s sailing!”
Soon, Ethan and Chloe’s “epic love story” went viral. Netizens bashed me, saying Ethan truly loved me, but I didn’t cherish it—that I wasn’t worthy of him.
In my office, buried in paperwork, my assistant cautiously brought me updates.
“Miss Harper, should we respond to this?”
I glanced up, slowly sipping my coffee. “No. Let it brew.”
Chloe may have won everyone’s sympathy with her innocent act—but not everyone’s a fool.
One slip-up, and her mind-reading would become her downfall.
“With this online storm, the Parkers and Brooks announced their engagement. Save the invitation for me.”
“I’ll slap their faces myself.”
