NovelEnglishChapter 510 Citrine continued, her tone unwavering. "The Glenwood family took you in, gave you a name, status, and a life of comfort. After everything they've done for you, your actions are nothing short of heartless. Frankly, calling you ungrateful would be letting you off easy." A hush fell over the guests. In just a few seconds, the admiration they'd felt for Kali turned to open contempt. "Everyone says Ms. Glenwood isn't just a top student, but the most sought-after socialite in Crestwood-had all the city's rich heirs eating out of her hand. Turns out, she's not just calculating, but downright vicious." "I can't imagine what the Glenwood family was thinking, taking in someone so ungrateful." "She'd rather give life-saving medication to a sister she barely knows, without any blood relation, than to her own grandfather. Honestly, what kind of granddaughter does that?" "I heard Mr. Glenwood adored her, gave her anything she wanted. If he realized his precious granddaughter would rather save someone else than him, it'd break his heart." "Even a dog knows to be grateful. The Glenwood heiress is worse than a dog." "I always thought the Glenwood heiress was Crestwood's leading lady, with impeccable character. Well, consider the illusion shattered." "If you ask me, neither of the Glenwood sisters is worth much. One's a heartless ingrate, the other lets us all think she has access to Vitaflux's resources, when in fact it was Kali who sent the gift in the first place."

The older generation adored her, and more than a few of Crestwood's young heirs had fallen under her spell, idolizing her as their unattainable muse.

Suddenly, she sensed a gaze fixed on her from above. She looked up, and her heart plunged-there, on the second-floor balcony, sat Scale's, who had been watching the entire spectacle unfold.
Scales had been seated upstairs for stand had witnessed everything. Now, as he looked at the granddaughter he'd cherished most, his disappointment was unmistakable; all warmth had drained from his eyes.
'we' The Glenwood family might be under Talbot's control, but Scales still held a significant share of the estate- enough that even Talbot had to treat him with respect.
Citrine had always known that Kali and Dick's brazen behavior was tolerated only because Scales favored them so much.
But after today, their protector was gone for good.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKali was no fool. She understood exactly what today's events meant.
With Scales' affection lost, her standing in this family was about to plummet.
Talbot cared only for profit; he had never had a shred of affection for his adopted daughter. The only reason he'd forced Citrine to act as Kali's donor in the past was to please Scales. Citrine Carmichael-what a masterstroke.
Kali's stare drilled into Citrine, her composure shattering. With a strangled cry, she lunged at her. "I'm not ungrateful! Citrine Carmichael, you setup!"
Her hand was just inches from Citrine's face when Hilda and Monica, brother and sister, leapt in front of Citrine, shielding her.
At the stime, Hastings caught Kali's arm in a vice-like grip and m shoved her back, hard. His face twisted in irritation. "Kali, that's enough. Stop making a scene."
