Chapter 335 I Do Not Have A Daughter
- “She ruthlessly exposed my lies and berated me harshly in front of my classmates! I felt guilty, resentful, and furious! I hated her! But I didn't dare to talk back to her because I was young at that time, and the consequence of fighting back was her targeting me. With no one to help me, my situation would only get worse. Seeing that we were about to be late, my stepmother didn't cease her harsh scolding. My classmate, in a very soft voice, said, 'Ma'am, we're sorry. We won't lie again. We're about to be late. Could you let us go to school now?' To our surprise, my stepmother turned to glare at her. From her attire, my stepmother could tell she wasn't from a wealthy family. She began with her signature mocking and sarcastic remarks. 'Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. You're defending her lies; you're no better. I'm going to tell your teacher to have you reflect on your actions in front of the entire school!' Her words terrified my classmate...”
- Calista couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth. She noticed Wilbur looking at her with such an expressive gaze. It was undeniable that even his sympathy seemed more acceptable than most people's. It was as if he understood her and genuinely empathized with her, and he felt sorry for her.
- “The classmate kept apologizing, even breaking into tears. She had worked so hard to get into that school. She was terrified the teacher might not like her. I could tell she must have regretted interacting with me, and even more so, coming to my house... Because my stepmother had something to hold over us, she belittled both me and her to the point where we felt worthless. All we could do was cry. We were unable to utter a single word in our defense. This continued until school had already started. My stepmother, still not satisfied, finally stopped. She pulled out nine hundred from her elegant purse and harshly threw it at my face! At that moment, I found myself longing to grab the knife lying not too far away and thrust it into her throat.”
