The Heiress No One Chose

I, Penny Sullivan, am the only heiress among the five great families, and the heirs of the other four families are all my fiances. I once thought I could spend the rest of my life with one of them, but everything changed after Julia Leonhart appeared.One night, at the bar, I see the usually cold and distant Ethan Quinn kneeling at Julia's feet, kissing the back of her hand."You're the only one I'll ever love. Even if Penny chooses me, I will still be with you. On her birthday, no matter who she chooses, we will refuse her for your sake."The other three also surround Julia, echoing his words.Julia is touched, tears welling up in her eyes. "If Ms. Sullivan were to find out that I was the reason behind her car accident on the day of the design award, she'd blame all of you."Ethan gently wipes the tears from her face.As if trying to make a point, Xander Schneider quickly answers, "She already has more than enough. It's just a design award. You need it more than her."I clutch my chest at his words.Design has always been my dream. If I had won that gold award back then, I could have gone abroad to study design. I, however, got into a car accident, simply because Julia also wanted that award.Julia is only a housekeeper's daughter, yet she has all of their hearts.I don't know what has gone wrong, and I'm in despair.Just then, a drunkard suddenly shows up at Julia's side.
