Marie sat at the head of the table, in the place of greatest privilege, everyone looked directly at her, but there was something else, everyone was now also looking at the distinguished girl who sat next to Principal Chan.
Now, the surname Hong was known, but no one would know that she was the heiress unless she told them.
There was definitely no question of her telling.
People were ambitious and would most likely try to overtake the girl before she was even strong enough to create her empire.
Marie needed to be aware of this.
She had to be cautious about Hong Bo's real position.
A rich daughter? All right, many are and many come and go at the whim of their family.
Hong Bo can pretend to be just another one of them, prove your worth on your own merits and you'll prove enough for everyone.
Even your own father.
