My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Ever since Cathy found out about the hidden past between her mother and Vincent, she has never been able to live in peace. In her heart, she blamed her mother for making Vincent grew up abnormally. At the same time, she was grateful that Vincent was there by her mother's side so that Chloe could survive.

She blamed herself for feeling grateful towards Vincent, even though she knew that Vincent's bright life turned upside down because of her mother.

Not only that... now she realized something she had previously denied.

Cathy... kind of blamed Vincent for being a brat and fought with Chloe. She did not like the man's curse about her mother to Paul. If Vincent didn't argue with Chloe, if Vincent didn't make Chloe desperate to leave the house, Chloe would still be alive.

Is it possible... because of this... because she blamed Vincent, one by one she forgot something about him? First was his voice, then the man's smile… now she couldn't even remember how her heart would skip a beat for him the first time.

Cathy continued to cry, and she fell limply while hitting her aching chest.

"I don't know what to do. I want to meet him, but I don't want to see him at the same time. I... I don't know... I feel lost and abandoned."

Felicia immediately hugged Cathy, who was crying harder and harder, while patting her back gently. She felt sorry that she had asked Cathy a tough question. She knew very well what it was like to be abandoned.

Benjamin rejected her for reasons that did not make sense, while Vincent disappeared for every critical reason. Felicia knew her best friend was gone because of one goal. To ensure Cathy's safety and nothing else would hurt her.

Felicia should have given mental support to Cathy or ensure her that everything would be alright. She didn't help because of Vincent's request, who collected her debt when his best friend gave her photos of Benjamin last year.

Felicia sincerely wished to make the two happy together because he didn't want her best friend nor Catherine to have a tragic end like her and Benjamin.

"I'm sorry. Calm down. I didn't mean to make you worse off. I'll tell you everything. Before that, let's go up to the third floor. I have something to show you."

Cathy began to feel calm after crying for a few minutes, still only a few small sobs. Even though Cathy was not a crybaby, somehow, she became one every time Vincent's name was mentioned.

Now they passed dozens of photos hanging on the wall and the table. This time Felicia didn't explain each one and immediately took Cathy to the third floor.

Unlike the two previous floors, there weren't any photos on the third floor. There were only seven large canvases with different paintings.

The seven canvases stood in line to fill the room. Cathy saw six canvases with paintings of different women. In fact, in one of his paintings, a child was walking while holding a balloon floating in the air. Cathy could also see Felicia's face in between. Surprisingly, there wasn't any painting on the seventh canvas. The canvas was still clean and white.

"Vincent never wanted to deal with women, especially if the girl came from an unknown background. He always avoided any woman who approached him. In this world, there were only six women he cherishes." continued Felis. "The first one," she pointed her finger to the painting of the woman on the first canvas, "Mrs. Flourence Regnz. She was Vincent's grandmother. She was one of those people who pampered and educated Vincent in his childhood days. The old lady doted on him very much," explained Felicia.

Then Felicia pointed to the second painting. The woman was Vienna Regnz, Vincent's biological mother, followed by Vanessa Regnz in the third painting. Felicia was the woman in the fourth painting, and Abigail was in the fifth painting. All of the women in the five images were members of Vincent's dearest family.

"Then she is..." Felicia pointed to the woman on the sixth canvas. The woman stood with her back facing her with her face turned to the side. The woman had wavy waist-length hair. Cathy couldn't see the color, but she could still feel the sadness radiating from the woman's back in the painting. Did the painter experience deep sorrow while painting it?

"Your birth mother, Chloeny Paxton."

Cathy gasped at the continuation of Felicia's sentence. She was shocked that her mother was one of the women that Vincent admired. But the shock was not worth it when she realized Felicia found out that she was Chloeny Paxton's real daughter.

"H... how do you know I'm Chloeny's daughter?"

For a moment, Felicia didn't answer and just stared blankly at Chloe's painting before looking straight into Cathy's eyes with a smile.

"My name is Felicia Bernz,"

Cathy was confused why the woman in front of her introduced herself when she already knew the woman's full name.

"The daughter of Welly Bernz, chairman of one of Lion Stealth's core teams."

Cathy's eyes widened, completely unexpecting her next words. Felicia is Welly's daughter? All this time, she had been trying to find Lest or Welly, which had come to nothing, while she could have met Welly's daughter if she would have taken the time to read her message!

"You... you are a member of the core C team?"

"You can say that."

"So, do you know where Vincent is now? I mean... can you find him?"

"You want to meet him?"

"..." Cathy herself didn't know the answer either. Does she want to meet him? She wanted to meet but also didn't want to.

"Sorry. Even though I wanted to tell you, I couldn't find him. To be honest, I just found out that my parents are part of the LS team, and I've only been studying it for the last two months. So I don't know how to track Vincent's whereabouts yet."

Cathy lowered her head in annoyance with herself. Why was she relieved that she didn't have to see Vincent now? Has she started hating him secretly? Have her feelings changed?
