The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 510

Citrine continued, her tone unwavering. “The Glenwood family took you in, gave you a name, status, and a life of comfort. After everything they’ve done for you, your actions are nothing short of heartless. Frankly, calling you ungrateful would be letting you off easy.”

A hush fell over the guests. In just a few seconds, the admiration they’d felt for Kali turned to open contempt.

“Everyone says Ms. Glenwood isn’t just a top student, but the most sought-after socialite in Crestwood—had all the city’s rich heirs eating out of her hand. Turns out, she’s not just calculating, but downright vicious.”

“I can’t imagine what the Glenwood family was thinking, taking in someone so ungrateful.”

“She’d rather give life-saving medication to a sister she barely knows, without any blood relation, than to her own grandfather. Honestly, what kind of granddaughter does that?”

“I heard Mr. Glenwood adored her, gave her anything she wanted. If he realized his precious granddaughter would rather save someone else than him, it’d break his heart.”

“Even a dog knows to be grateful. The Glenwood heiress is worse than a dog.”

“I always thought the Glenwood heiress was Crestwood’s leading lady, with impeccable character. Well, consider the illusion shattered.”

“If you ask me, neither of the Glenwood sisters is worth much. One’s a heartless ingrate, the other lets us all think she has access to Vitaflux’s resources, when in fact it was Kali who sent the gift in the first place.”

…

Kali had been groomed by the Glenwoods to perfection—music, languages, etiquette, academics—she excelled at them all. From an early age, she’d been the role model every girl in Crestwood aspired to, yet none could match.

The older generation adored her, and more than a few of Crestwood’s young heirs had fallen under her spell, idolizing her as their unattainable muse.

But in this moment, her reputation among the elders was in tatters, and the pedestal she’d stood on in the hearts of those young men crumbled to dust.
