The Heiress' Return: No More Pretending
At twenty, Sophia discovered she was the true heiress of the wealthy Richmond Family in L.A. But instead of a warm welcome, she returned to find a family that had lavished love on a fake heiress—and a disabled fiancé that nobody wanted. Sophia had plenty to say. But the orphanage director had warned her to keep her mouth shut, so she played the role of the silent, country bumpkin. It wasn’t until she met her disabled fiancé in private and realized she wouldn’t be easily cast out of the Richmond Family that she finally spoke her mind at the family banquet. To the fake heiress, still adored by the Richmonds, she sneered, “Seen your real mother? She begged me for money because she has AIDS.” When a cousin slapped her for the fake heiress, she retaliated by smashing a glass in his face: “Who are you to deny me? With a face that ugly, better check your DNA; you might not even be a real Richmond.” To the grandmother who cursed her with a hand on her heart, she retorted: “You’ve never raised me, and you dare act like an elder? I gave the orphanage director a concussion before I called him grandpa. Let me hit you once, and I’ll acknowledge you as my grandmother.” L.A. was rocked! The real Richmond heiress, freshly returned from the countryside, was a madwoman who could offend the entire world with just a few words. Just when everyone thought she was doomed, the eldest son of the prestigious Carrington Family, long believed to be disabled, suddenly stood and walked towards her on perfectly healthy legs. “From now on, take care of me, my fiancée,” he declared.
