Chapter 281 Deciphering the Dream
Naomi had been sponsored and cared for by the Quinnells since young. She was adept in fine arts and literature, not to mention a graduate from a prestigious university overseas.
She was well-versed in finance, economics, and social etiquette, and
even knew financial law. In short, Naomi was the epitome of beauty
and brains.
Compared to her, Wynter was a local graduate who was neither
cultured nor taught the ways of a socialite.
In the dream, Naomi was kind and would take Wynter everywhere.
She even made it a point to tell others that the true heiress of the
Quinnell family had returned,
She didn’t want the public to confuse her identity with Wynter’s, lest
the latter was put in an awkward situation.
But despite all this, Wynter always felt like an ugly duckling at every
dinner party. It was as if she had crashed the party, and it showed.
Naomi could talk to anyone at the party about anything, but Wynter
couldn’t even tell what language Naomi was speaking, let alone join
the conversation.
As the differences between Naomi’s upbringing and hers became
clear, Wynter began to realize that she had no makings of an heiress
whatsoever. Everyone was saying how the Quinnells had brought
back a bumpkin.
Wynter didn’t fit into any social circle and eventually became the
laughingstock.
None of the socialites cared for her, and even the staff attending to her had started ignoring her requests in favor of Naomi. Even
Wynter’s parents, who had claimed to love her beyond all things, were growing embarrassed of her.
In the end, her parents hired a private tutor for her. Wynter dreamed she had toiled away on whatever art and subject the tutor taught her. But for some reason, she would forget whatever she learned.
One day, through bitter work, she finally mastered the piano and thought she could make her family proud.
However, Naomi won a prize for her performance in a piano concert abroad, and the Quinnells threw a feast to celebrate her achievement. During the party, they announced that they would officially adopt
Naomi.
From then on, Naomi and Wynter would both be heiresses to the Quinnell name. And just like that, Wynter fell back into the shadows
before she could even emerge into the light.
Wynter’s parents began to feel awkward around her. Her mother even seemed a little terrified of her. Thankfully, Fabian would drop by and visit her now and then, reminding her that she was his little princess.
