Odessa liked Luca Jennings.
She fell crazily in love with him the moment she laid eyes on him.
But she also understood that as the elder son of the Jennings Family and the family heir, it was impossible for her to marry him with her family background. free𝑤ebnovel.com
The Jennings Family would not accept an "actor" as their daughter-in-law.
So she settled for second best, taking the initiative to pursue his brother.
Compared to Luca, the eldest, Michael Jennings was wholeheartedly chasing his so-called music dreams, proud of his talent, an advocate for free love who disliked restrictions.
Such a person would not be too fussy about family background and social status.
Odessa grasped this point and let him believe he had found love, using it to marry into the Jennings Family.
Over the years, to outsiders, Michael always posed as a successful musician, but in Odessa’s view, his so-called talent was nothing but the result of the Jennings Family splurging money on packaging him.
However, it was a strength in itself to become the second son of the Jennings Family, the brother of Luca.
Odessa became his sister-in-law, and even though she could not possess this man, it was good enough to see him every day.
The first time she felt aggrieved was when Luca got married to a woman from an ordinary family against the opposition of the two Jennings elders.
Only then did she realize that even the heir of the Jennings Family could marry a woman of unequal family background, as long as he wished to.
If only she had known earlier... that position should have been hers.
Later, the woman gave birth to Donovan Jennings and Scarlett Jennings.
Fortunately, Scarlett went missing shortly after she was born, and the woman’s whereabouts became unknown, her life or death uncertain.
For many years, everyone assumed she was dead.
After losing his wife and daughter, Luca became increasingly stern; besides mentoring Donovan, he turned into a heartless money-making automaton, investing all his energy in work.
Sometimes, Odessa felt incredibly sorry for him.
But she was also grateful.
How wonderful it was that there were no other women by his side.
Later, Madame Jennings brought home Azura Loomis, explaining that since the house was full of boys, a little girl should be added.
In her heart, Odessa knew that Madame Jennings wanted Azura to replace Scarlett as Luca’s daughter.
But Luca had not given in for many years.
Odessa also gained insight from this.
If Luca wanted a daughter, she could give him one.
Odessa knew the rules of the Jennings Family and dared not do anything inappropriate.
After all, with Luca’s temperament, once he sensed her feelings for him, she would definitely not be able to stay in the Jennings Family.
Of course, she wasn’t that foolish.
What she wanted was to let her daughter replace Scarlett and become his child.
Rounded up, that would be a child she shared with him.
With this little scheme in mind, after several years of striving with Michael, they finally had Ismeria Jennings.
From the time Ismeria was cognizant, she always encouraged her to get close to Luca.
Even when Ismeria was two years old, she had hinted at wanting Ismeria to move into the Princess Room that Luca had prepared especially for his daughter.
She wanted Ismeria to gradually take the place of that woman’s child in the depth of Luca’s heart.
Unfortunately, Luca did not agree.
After losing his daughter, that room became his only consolation; even if he never stepped foot in it, it was always the place he left for his daughter.
Even for his own niece, he did not want her to take over what should belong to his daughter.
Of course, after his biological daughter came back, that room became comparatively less significant.
