I'm The Fake Heiress? Time To Reveal My 100 Identities! Novel - Chapter 71

Chapter 71 It Should've Been Mine Finished 雞 Wendy kept thinking she should've been the one sitting there, soaking up all the praise and attention from her family. All that glory that should've been hers ended up in Helen's hands. She was trembling with rage, so bitter and stifled she felt like she could choke. Meanwhile, the family showered Helen with compliments. "Luck is a kind of strength, too. This honor is yours by right." "Helen, you're too modest.

Dracovia recognized you for more than just a laptop." Every sweet word and kind gesture felt like a dagger stabbing Wendy straight in the chest. She was furious to the point of spitting blood. She should have been the one getting praised. She was the one who actually sent out the laptop and helped crack the spy case! But could she admit that? Could she jump out now and say she took Helen's laptop? She couldn't! Not only could she not speak up, but she had to pretend she didn't know a thing and force a smile while congratulating Helen with the rest of the family. It felt like a cruel joke.

She'd planned so carefully to expose Helen as a fraud and finally prove herself, but Helen ended up winning the highest honor from Dracovia. And Wendy could only stay in the background, watching Helen soak up all the praise that should've been hers. It felt like trying to lift a heavy rock and smashing her foot at the same time. She could only swallow her anger. It was suffocating. She didn't even want to imagine all the jealous stares Helen would get when she walked into the 1/3 Veridia elite circle as the Walcotts' heiress with that kind of honor. Helen would completely overshadow her!

"By the way, this is serious-it's tied to state secrets," Felix said, his voice getting serious again. "Since the official report kept Helen's identity hidden on purpose, we shouldn't spread it around. We can enjoy it ourselves, but no word to outsiders." Alexander nodded. "Dad is right. We shouldn't drag Helen into trouble. I'm more worried about those schemers. They might try to go after her." After all, Sakurath was full of sneaky people. If anyone found out Helen ruined their plan to steal Dracovia's secrets, they'd never forgive her. Helen was too capable and now connected to Dracovia.

They couldn't protect her every second. Staying quiet was the safest move. The Walcotts agreed. Rebecca held Helen's hand. "This is such a huge honor, but we can't announce it. It's a pity that we can't let the world see how incredible you are." "It's fine. I don't need the spotlight." Even if people from Sakurath came knocking, it'd just be to give her more awards. Still, what a pain. Wendy pouted. She doesn't need the spotlight? If she really doesn't care, then why not hand over the certificate and medal that should've been mine?! Want it both ways, huh? What a show!
