The Mad Heiress Is Back For Blood

Synopsis

I'm a natural-born con artist, and manipulation runs through my veins like it's written into my DNA. My first boyfriend thought I was too poor, so he cheated on me with the richest girl in our class. I nodded like I understood, and then I faked a pregnancy. I made sure his guaranteed college admission got revoked, and I squeezed a fat hush money payment out of his family. The rich girl's brother came after me next and threatened to destroy my reputation. So I hacked into his company's system and anonymously leaked all the financial data he needed for his IPO to every single one of his competitors. One night, I sent him right back to square one. After that, nobody dared to mess with me anymore, but they all teamed up and had me committed to a psychiatric hospital. They wanted me to rot in there forever. Fine. If I'm going down, I'm taking everyone with me. I pretended the doctors had hypnotized me, and I gave them the location of some hidden treasure. The entire hospital staff and all the patients beat each other bloody trying to get to it first, and the chaos made national news. So when the wealthiest family in the country came looking for their long-lost daughter, the hospital director personally packaged me up and sent me home with them. My ex-boyfriend grabbed my birth mother's leg and sobbed, "Helena, she doesn't have a heart! Your family fortune is massive, but she'll burn through every cent of it!" Helena just thought he was jealous. But then we got home, and Emily Carter—her precious adopted daughter—blocked my path. "Charlotte, I know you just got here, but you're not going to have any ideas about the 30% company shares Grandpa left me, right?"
