THE HEIRESS RETURNS

As Kim Ha-eun walked into the Kim family reunion for her welcome party, all eyes turned to her. "I am the Real Heiress of the Kim family, missing for 20 years. Because she longed for her daughter's happiness, my foster mother swapped me at the hospital. Since then my life has been miserable while you took my place and enjoyed all the love from my family. I am back to take what's mine." The banquet was packed, everyone was focused on the fake heiress, that no one noticed when the real heiress came in. The moment they saw her they whispered. "The real heiress of the Kim family just came in?" "Real heiress?? I heard she has a bad reputation. Like her foster mother, she actually seduced her foster father..." Humor faded as Kim Ha-eun heard them, then she remembered the incident. FLASHBACK Kim Ha-eun ran back from delivering goods when she saw her foster brother. She decided to change her clothes. "I didn't know this little b***h actually has a nice body," her foster brother Park Doo-joon said as he watched her change. He then sneaked and grabbed her from the back. "My family raised you for 20 years, today let me have some fun with you." "Let me go! Ah! Ah! Let me go!" She hit him in the groin and he screamed from pain. "You b***h, you live off us, what's wrong with letting my son touch you?" her foster mother Park Mal-sook said viciously. "See that, you are just a foster daughter, I am his biological son. You think my mom would side with you? Today I'll teach you a lesson!" Kim Ha-eun grabbed a knife from the fruit plate. "One step closer and I will cut you!" He stepped closer, she cut his stomach. "Since I was a child because I was a foster daughter, I suffered nothing but abuse at home, I realised then that only by being strong enough can I avoid being trampled upon." END OF FLASHBACK "Look, President Kim and Madam Kim are coming with Kim Yoo-na?" Kim Yoo-na is dressed in a Synethee Sleeveless gown with her hair tied up in buns like a princess. A second heiress. Chairman Kim Hyun-ki couldn't hide his excitement. "Soo-jin, look, she looks just like you when you were young." "Yes, it's been twenty years, come give mom a hug?" Kim Yoo-na couldn't hide her disgust and immediately hugged Lee Soo-jin instead. "Mama, today is my birthday too, the first hug should be for me." "Oh mine, actually girl, your sister has been spoiled by us, don't be mad," Lee Soo-jin said to Kim Ha-eun. "Oh, I'm quite used to it, it's just a hug, everyone, you wouldn't be so petty, right?" Said by Kim Yoo-na like a white lotus. Of course I would, unluckily for you, I... [Kim Ha-eun inner thought]: I am not just petty, I also hold a grudge. "Today is your birthday too, your mom bought you new clothes, go and put them on," Chairman Kim Hyun-ki said breaking the tension. "Take the young lady upstairs to change." "Yes, Chairman." As Kim Ha-eun reached the second floor, she saw a room filled with elegant dresses. In middle of the room was a white-silver dress with sleeves like fur and neck. "Your room is inside the other room," the maid quickly said. The maid took Kim Ha-eun to an ordinary looking room. "Second miss, the clothes madam prepared for you, please not the main." "Second miss?" "Yes. After the truth about you and miss really came out, master and madam couldn't bear to let her suffer so they decided she will be the eldest miss and you will be the second miss." "Oh I see, why are there so many clothes in the room next door?" "Oh that is the eldest miss's closet, that is just one of them, more on the third floor." "I got it." "Second miss, the eldest miss has been pampered since childhood. Even their biological son is secondary to her. If you want to survive in this house, you must never try to compete for their favour." "I know," the maid nodded and left. Kim Ha-eun stared intensely at the clothes prepared for her, clearly wanting to humiliate her. She dropped the clothes with disgust and her eyes glinted with a sharp gaze and walked into the Kim Yoo-na closet and took the gown dress she saw earlier. "What's the point of fighting for favours. Fighting for power and profit is more practical than fighting for illusory love. It's been twenty years, it's time to take back what's mine." ----
