Kneel Down to Win Back the Heiress Queen novel Chapter 1

Just above the rooftop of Moore Group's Riversdale subsidiary, a helicopter hovered, descending with deliberate slowness.

As it approached the landing, the door slid open, and a tall, striking woman sprang lightly onto the roof. Close behind her came Hannah Hawking, her assistant.

A man in a suit hurried forward, his voice taut with nervousness. "Welcome, Ms. Moore. It's been a long journey. Would you like something to eat before we move on?"

"No. Take me straight to the office," Nancy Moore replied with a detached calm.

Her sculpted, striking face held no expression. Her eyes seemed distant, but the effortless poise of a high-born lady remained, impossible to hide.

But the truth was, the Moores had adopted Nancy from an orphanage when she was still a child.

The first few families who had adopted her despised her once they found out she couldn't speak. So, they had her returned to the orphanage soon enough.

The other children in the orphanage were jealous of her due to the fact that she was adopted multiple times. Hence, they'd bully and push her around even more.

But Lady Luck smiled on Nancy when she accidentally saved Freya Lindt, the lady of the Moore family, leading to the Moores adopting her. In order to repay the Moores for their benevolence, Nancy worked hard in her studies.

While the other children played, Nancy spent her days learning various skills for fear that she might get abandoned by the Moores again. Thankfully, the Moores were really nice to her, allowing her to grow into a confident young woman who carried herself well.

A year ago, the Moores had tracked down Nancy's birth parents for her. Her journey to Riversdale was about more than just nurturing the subsidiary. She had come to meet her birth parents. As that thought took hold, a sudden, unexpected nervousness began to stir.

"Is everything ready?" Nancy asked.

Hannah answered promptly, "Don't worry, Ms. Moore. Everything is prepared. When would you like us to leave?"

After hesitating for a moment, Nancy said, "We'll set off after I freshen up."

"Understood," Hannah replied.

Once showered and changed into fresh clothes, Nancy emerged to find the company's files and project documents already laid out on the desk.

Her eyes caught a familiar name, and she murmured, "Lidell Group..."

It was a project from her birth parents' company, seeking to form a partnership with Moore Group's subsidiary.

Nancy leafed through the documents swiftly. Lidell Group didn't meet the criteria for partnership by any usual standard. Yet after some thought, she approved the project and handed it to the executive manager.

Soon, she was ready to set off toward the Lidell household. When it came to choosing a car, she paused and weighed her options before deciding on the plainest one.

The Lidells were a relatively insignificant family next to the Moores, and Nancy feared that arriving in a flashy vehicle might make her birth parents uneasy.

…

As one of the five great families of Riversdale, the Lidell residence was undeniably grand.

Today, it was adorned with sumptuous decorations, honoring Raine Lidell, the family's heiress. She'd been crowned first in Riversdale Piano Competition and was now preparing to compete nationally.

Warmth lingered in the living room, soft and inviting.

Regina Olcott, Raine's adoptive mother, spoke with admiration, her eyes bright with love. "You're amazing, Raine."

Raine's lips curled into a faint smile, but it vanished almost at once, her brows drawing together as a shadow of worry darkened her features.
