Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

Sharon did not think that she was an unfortunate child. 

In fact, it was the opposite. She always felt that the luckiest thing that ever happened to her was Leonard bringing her back to the Lefebvre family. 

Ever since Leonard had brought her back with him, he had given her the utmost care and tried to satisfy her every need. With him, she finally felt the warmth of having a family again and sometimes, she would even forget that she was an orphan. 

...

However, Sharon still lived her life to the fullest and always tried her best, never slacking off. 

While she may not be the smartest kid in the room, but just like the tortoise and the hare, she believed that as long as she put in the effort, everything was possible. 

...

Therefore, despite having such a powerful family supporting her, Sharon studied hard to maintain her outstanding results.

They had given her wonderful education and a comfortable life, so how could she bear to let their efforts go to waste?

Yet just because the Lefebvre family was such an influential household, most people would ignore the hard work of those who put in the effort. 

That was the reality, and there was not much she could do about it. 

"Just because some people don't work hard enough and don't have the luxurious life they want, they blame it on not having rich parents. Tsk, tsk. How pathetic."

Melanie flung her bag onto her desk with a loud thud. Her voice had not been loud, but everyone in the classroom still heard her clearly and immediately quieted down. 

...

Sharon peeked at Melanie, who stood next to her, breaking out into a small smile. "Have you eaten breakfast?"

Melanie shrugged and sat down. "Nope. I heard dogs barking and thought I got the wrong place." She taunted. 

Sharon said nothing. 

"Who speaks like that?" A girl hissed.

Melanie rolled her eyes and turned to look directly at the girl who had spoken. "Well, karma is a b*tch!" she sneered.

"You—" the girl started.

"The lecturer is coming." a student said in a hushed tone.

...

The girl's face was red as she bit her tongue. 

Melanie smirked and straightened her back, her facial expressions regal and feisty. 

Sharon nudged her with an elbow and joked. "You must have watched too many villain movies." 

"Oh, shut up!" Melanie chuckled, looking pointedly at Sharon. "Who do you think I'm doing this for?"

Sharon grinned and pulled out a lunch box with a cartoon design, handing it to Melanie. "Here, it's for you."
