I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter

Ufikla’s public statement that Leonia should treat her well because she was going to be her new stepmother had already spread so thoroughly through the mansion that there wasn’t a single person who didn’t know.

The saying “bad news travels fast” rang true no matter where you were.

That’s how massive the uproar had been.

And that night—

“She got scolded hard.”

Leonia said to Connie, who was helping her into her pajamas.

“I was there too, you know.”

Connie replied with a wry smile as she fastened the buttons.

Standing just behind Leonia and Ferio at the time, Connie gave a faint shiver at the memory of that overwhelming moment.

Abipher’s voice—sharp enough to make someone flinch—still echoed in her ears.

‘Do you even know where you are, saying something like that!’

No matter how young Ufikla was—only six years old—it was a major offense to speak so informally and rudely to the Duke’s daughter.
