Chapter 10

The tense atmosphere in the living room dissolved the moment Evelyn Laurent descended the stairs.

Victoria Langley's face instantly brightened. She rushed forward in three quick steps and seized Evelyn's hands. "My darling Evelyn, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit!"

The icy expressions on Richard Langley and his six sons melted away instantly.

Evelyn was momentarily dazed by the sudden warmth. Before she could react, she was gently pulled onto the sofa.

Six strikingly different brothers stood before her in a perfect line.

"Evelyn, I'm your eldest brother, Alexander Langley."

"I'm Sebastian Langley, your second brother."

"Julian Langley, your third brother."

"Nathaniel Langley, the fourth."

"Dominic Langley, number five."

"Theodore Langley, your sixth brother!"

The youngest, Theodore, beamed. "Finally, I'm not the baby anymore!"

Evelyn pressed her lips together softly. "Hello, Mom, Dad... brothers."

That simple greeting made the entire family's eyes glisten with emotion.

Who would have thought these formidable figures, each a titan in their own right, would now revolve around one young woman?

"Evelyn, Mom bought you ten luxury villas."

"Dad's giving you a few companies to play with."

"Sebastian designed a custom wardrobe and jewelry collection just for you."

"Julian's card here has half a billion."

"Nathaniel's private hospital is yours now."

"Dominic prepared another half billion."

"Theodore got you ten limited-edition sports cars."

In moments, property deeds, black cards, and car keys piled around Evelyn.

Victoria was still calculating. "In a few days, I'll buy you a private island."

Evelyn waved her hands hastily. "Really, that's too much."

She gazed at these priceless gifts, her heart swelling with complex emotions.

This was warmth she'd never known in her seventeen years.

Victoria embraced her gently. "My poor Evelyn suffered so much. Those who hurt you will pay dearly!"

A cold glint flashed simultaneously in the six brothers' eyes.

"How would you like to deal with the Vincent Lowell family?"

At that name, Evelyn's eyes turned glacial. "I'll destroy them myself."

Victoria smiled approvingly. "That's my daughter! We'll host your homecoming gala in three days. The world will know the seventh Langley heiress has returned."

Evelyn hesitated. "But..."

Victoria was firm. "Everyone must recognize your status."

Evelyn stopped protesting, warmth flooding her heart.

She studied her family discreetly:

Father Richard Langley, helm of the Langley conglomerate.

Mother Victoria Langley, empress of a global cosmetics empire.

Eldest brother Alexander, venture capital legend.

Sebastian, ruler of elite fashion brands.

Julian, Oscar-winning actor.

Nathaniel, medical prodigy.

Dominic, top-tier attorney.

Theodore, founder of a luxury automotive empire.

A faint smile touched Evelyn's lips.

She couldn't wait to see Vincent Lowell's face when the truth came out.
