Chapter 596: Chapter 595: What Wrong did the Woman Do?_1

Yan Ling found it mildly amusing. These so-called people of high society, who always thought they were a cut above everyone else.

But when it came to licking boots and brown-nosing, how were they any different from the people they looked down upon?

They were nothing more than profit-chasers!

Yan Ling, slightly bored, shifted her gaze and noticed a lonely, solitary figure standing in the corner of the party.

Selena?

The moment she saw Selena, Yan Ling’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

This was a party hosted by the Leo Family. Logic would have it that Selena, surrounded by many, should have been the center of attention.

But now, the main character was being ignored, while the supporting character was surrounded by endless admirers.

It was not that Selena lacked merit, rather, she appeared too modest in the eyes of these Sicilian aristocrats, and moreover, she was a female heir!

Except for essential social events, she seldom attended any aristocratic gatherings.

Belka, however, was different!

He was a smooth operator, sophisticated in the ways of the world.

Despite being the fourth in line to succeed, he was always quite active in the circle of Sicilian aristocracy.

What’s more, he was now likely to form a marriage alliance with the Luca family, a family on par with the Leo Family!

A marriage alliance of such powerful families was bound to elevate the Leo and Luca Families to even higher positions.

Mr. Leo, as long as he retained a shred of sanity, would never pass the heirship to anyone other than Belka!

Watching the scene, Yan Ling couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

No wonder Mr. Leo once said that whoever could cure his illness would be the new family head of the Leo Family.

With an ambitious opponent like Belka lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity, it would indeed be very difficult for Selena to smoothly become the new head of the Leo Family without a powerful ally by her side!

Not only did Yan Ling notice Selena, forgotten by the crowd, but Belka did as well.

Of course, the reason he noticed Selena was because everything was playing out just as he had meticulously planned.

Seeing Selena being forgotten in the corner by the crowd, Belka couldn’t help but think of everything that had happened at the manor that evening.

He was both angry and annoyed, and even now, he still felt a nagging pain in his groin.

Damn Selena!

No matter what, he was still the fourth in line to succeed in the Leo Family!

It was bad enough that she wasn’t helping him, but she even went so far as to help others instead of her own family.

Did she really think she was great just because she was the first in line to succeed?

Compared to the man Selena favoured who was good-for-nothing, Aliya was far superior!

Thinking of this, Belka looked at Selena in the corner with a scornful glance.

Then, he held Aliya’s hand and strutted pompously over to Selena’s side.

"Selena, even though you are the first in line to succeed in the Leo Family, it doesn’t mean that you can really become the new family head! The world is fair. God gave you a noble status but also gave you the unchangeable gender. In Sicily, even though women still have the right to inheritance, to date, very few women have actually become family heads! After all, a woman’s destiny is to get married, have children, and center her life around her family and children..."

Belka’s words made Selena feel oddly uncomfortable.

While she felt angry, she also felt a sense of sorrow.

So what if she was a woman?

What had women done wrong?

Was it because of their gender that they should naturally be looked down upon?

Since childhood, she had been brought up as the legitimate heir of the Leo Family, she was nobly-born and well-educated.

Not to mention the basic social etiquettes a lady should have, she even excelled in financial knowledge and management skills.

Although the Leo Family had been declining in recent years, it remained immensely vast.

It would take an enormous amount of effort to manage such a large family.

And she, having received her elite education since childhood, with her rich financial knowledge and outstanding management skills, had all these qualities ingrained in her.

In terms of status, she was above Belka, a hundred times nobler than him;

And in terms of talent, she was no less than Belka, even superior to him.

No matter how you looked at it, an heir brimming with talent and rightful claim was surely better than a mediocre contender, right?

Why did these people all believe that Belka was more suitable to be the heir of the Leo Family than her?

Just because Belka was a man and she was a woman?

Seeing the desolate expression on Selena’s face as delicate as a blooming flower was, Yan Ling’s heart ached for her.

She smoothed out her clothes, ensuring nothing was amiss, before slowly emerging from the corner of the party.
