Heiress Came Back Home: Begone, Vicious Stepmother

Synopsis

I was performing as a storyteller, disguised as a man, when the lord, Edward Harrington, sent men to fetch me for the so-called family reunion. When it was confirmed that I was his child, he wept with joy. "The resemblance alone tells the truth," he cried. "You are my son. I never abandoned you. Your mother fled the capital while carrying you, and I could not find her." He didn't admit how his favorite concubine destroyed my mother. Neither did I reveal my true gender. I would shatter his dream of an heir and humiliate him at the homecoming dinner. But before I could act, Cathy Quinn, the homewrecker who ruined my mother, struck first. At the celebration, while I stepped away from the table, Cathy suddenly pressed a scrap of her skirt into my palm and shrieked, "Parker! How dare you force yourself upon me! I am your stepmother! "I cannot live with such shame." She threw herself into the lake. As she flailed in the water, I nearly laughed aloud. She had delivered the perfect weapon into my hands.
