Qing Bao Romance

“After my mother passed away, my stepfather and his daughter took over our home and erased my existence. I was the only true heir to my mother's legacy, but I was pushed out. Five years later, I saw my stepsister trending on social media. She was flaunting the "Star of the Ocean"-my mother's seven-million-dollar sapphire necklace that mysteriously vanished from our family safe right after the funeral. I flew straight back to New York and crashed my stepfather's high-society birthday gala. When I publicly pointed out the stolen necklace on my stepsister's neck, my stepfather grabbed my arm, his fingers digging painfully into my skin. "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't ruin my party!" he growled, his face flushed with fury. He turned to the crowd with a fake smile. "It's just a misunderstanding between sisters. A simple family spat." My stepsister hid behind him, clutching my mother's necklace, playing the terrified, innocent victim while the crowd whispered about my dramatic return. It was sickening. They had stolen my mother's company, looted my inheritance, and expected me to stay quietly in the shadows while they climbed the social ladder using my family's blood and sweat. Did they really think I was still that helpless, grieving girl they could easily manipulate? I shook off his hand, pulled out the original certificate of authenticity from the auction house, and calmly dialed 911. "Yes, officer. I want to report a grand larceny. The thief is right here."”
