The Han Mansion.

The living room completely perished. All the valuable vases and showpieces lied on the floor broken into a thousand parts. Mrs. Han stood in the middle of the mess in her angry state. She had pulled many strings to get into this rich family but now everything was ruined. She felt desolated and wasted.

After a while, the door opened and a petite figure walked in. Jia stopped in her tracks as she saw the messed up living room. She spotted a person who was curled into a ball at a corner. She carefully walked into the room with the fear of getting hurt by the small glass fragments. She stood in front of her mother and looked into her reddened eyes. It looked like she had cried for a long time.

"Mom...." Jia said as she felt sympathetic for the woman. The woman raised her head to trace out the blurry face of her daughter. "Jia... Jia....." Mrs. Han called out as she hugged her daughter. She felt relieved and tears started flowing from her eyes.

Jia comforted her mother and asked the servants to clean up the room. Jia helped her mother sit on the couch. She felt sad and disheartening to see her mother in this state. The last time her mother cried her eyes was when her father fought with her on some matter. She was barely four and did not remember a lot. There was just a vague memory of a woman crying and a man shouting at her mercilessly.

After her mother had calmed down, Jia passed a glass of water to her and asked in a low voice, "are you fine? Had another fight with dad?" Jia was already aware of the company'ds situation as it was all over the internet. She was worried about it but was sure that there would be a solution after all Jessica was the fiancee of Steve.

"It's all that Jessica's fault. She did not lend any hand to the company and now when we are bankrupt she is nowhere to be found. If not for her and her mother I would have been the mistress long time ago. You would have been born into a loving family. She is a bad omen for us. Today your father defended her... I just so hate them." Mrs. Han was filled with anger.

On the mention of the past, Jia's eyes turned cold. She was the illegitimate child born and grown with no love or care. Even when she entered the family legally she still had to face the disgusting looks given to her by the people. She was jealous of Jessica who was loved and cared for after and before her birth, while she was always left alone.

**Flashback**

The nurse passed a wrapped-up baby to the woman as she smiled brightly, "Congratulations, it's a girl." Hearing the word 'girl' the woman's eyes turned dark. "How could it be a girl. It should be a daughter. It's not right. The man would not accept me in his family." The woman shouted like a mad person as she tried to push her baby on the floor.

This child was no one else bur Jia. The child grew up to be a beauty like her mother. She had good remarks in the early school years, but soon her marks started to decrease and the child turned lonely.

After the birth, she left her child to her mother to look after. She would frequently go to bars and when she returned she would curse her daughter for even being born. This dispirited the child and her heart yearned for love from her mother, which she received only after her becoming the official heir of her father's property.

Jia was not aware of her mother being a mistress to her biological father and not even about her father's official daughter. Once in her drunk state Jia's mother showed her the heir of the Han family and said it was her father. Beside him stood a beautiful lady and a timid little girl hugged the lady's arm as the man looked lovingly at them. The loving gaze pierced through the heart of Jia. She felt even more lonely and hurt as her heart bleed.
