“If we don’t let you taste some hardship, you’ll only go further off track later!”
Dad nodded coldly. “That’s right. Only by letting this charge stay on you will you stop having any wild hopes!”
“I didn’t!!”
But my parents had no plan to hear a single word from me. Only Brielle.
As she walked off, she coldly smirked. “Didn’t sister act so proud that night? And now?”
On the day the judgment came, Western Meridian University withdrew my admission.
My parents wailed wildly in front of the reporters.
The headlines all praised them. [The Hopkins couple chooses law over family, even a daughter admitted to Western Meridian University cannot be allowed to be a thief!]
The Hopkins family’s stock price shot up.
Brielle turned into a rising figure, the flawless contrast to me.
Hearing this, Ivy’s eyes went wide.
“So that means… that fake daughter is still going to run your parents’ company?!”
I handed off the last flower, brushed my palms, and before I spoke, the Rolls-Royce rolled up before us again.
Mom and Dad stepped forward, eyes swollen.
“Hattie, we talked it over. We can hand you some company stock. Will you come back now?”
I took off my apron.
A line of guards moved in and quietly helped me slip on my coat.
My parents stared, stunned, at the guards who appeared out of nowhere.
“Th-this… what is…”
“No need, you two.”
I answered coldly, The Hopkins family’s little worth isn’t even qualified to be my competitor.”
