The Heiress Fights Back: They Called Her a Fake

Surgeon Ava Carter battles three brothers who deny her identity and crush her hand.

Chief surgeon Ava Carter arrives home after a São Paulo lecture expecting her father Edward, but finds the Langston brothers Pierce, Derek, and Ethan waiting to force her into choosing a husband. Derek and Ethan ambush her at the school gate, shatter her mother's pocket watch, stomp her right hand, and beat Professor Charles unconscious when he intervenes. Pierce later chokes Ava and snaps her injured hand. The brothers repeatedly deny she is the Carter heiress, even after her assistant Arthur presents the family power ring. Ava uncovers their hospital profiteering with Charles's help, then reveals her identity at a banquet. Only Edward's personal confirmation forces the brothers to kneel. They are arrested; their father Marcus attacks Ava and is jailed for attempted murder. Her hand heals, she takes over the Carter Group, and love grows with Charles.
