"Even if you are your parents' biological daughter, so what? They love me the most!
"Dad said a long time ago that he would reward me with 10% of the company's shares after the college entrance examination. It was just transferred to my name today. Dad even said that I will inherit the company in the future."
Martina seemed dissatisfied with my lack of reaction after listening to me and frowned.
“To be honest, I don’t care about the college entrance examination at all. When you didn’t come back, Dad had already arranged for me to study abroad. But that doesn’t mean I’ll allow you to outshine me!
“Oh, you probably don’t know yet, do you? The people who took you away at the school gate were sent by your own parents and even those photos of you covered in bruises were posted online by them.
“Whoever dares to upset me, they’ll make sure to eliminate the obstacle for my sake.”
I still had no expression on my face and my heart was numb.
When I decided to leave, I had already sentenced this relationship to death.
Martina stood up suddenly, grabbed the clothes on my chest and her eyes were as vicious as poison as she cursed, “Lindsey, I truly wish you were dead. But if you were gone, life would be far too dull.
“Oh, and I almost forgot to mention. Dad only instructed that man to tie you up and keep you from taking the exam. I was the one who paid him to torture you.
“I want you to be nothing but a useless, broken shell for the rest of your life, not even worthy of being my stepping stone.”
I raised my head suddenly, with only one thought in my mind, ‘I will kill her!’
But before I could react, Martina's mouth curled up into a mysterious smile. She quickly picked up the kettle at the bedside and smashed it at her feet.
"Ah! Don't hit me!"
"Martina, are you okay?"
The door of the ward was pushed open vigorously and my parents rushed in and hugged Martina into their arms.
The broken pieces of the kettle splashed onto Martina's feet, leaving several bloody marks.
The wound was not serious and there was no hot water in the kettle.
But the look in my father's eyes when he looked at me was still very angry.
“Lindsey! Martina came to see you out of kindness, why did you hit her? You cannot take your misfortune out on her.
“If anything happens to her, don't blame me for not recognizing you as our daughter anymore!”
