But Chloe wasn’t satisfied and learned many bad habits with the punk.
When she was 18 and graduated from high school, while her peers were playing on their phones at home or working part–time jobs, Chloe was taken abroad by dad and Auntie.
Auntie’s purpose was to hope Chloe could see the colorful world and broaden her horizons and knowledge.
Unexpectedly, after Chloe returned, she showed off everywhere that she had been abroad and posted many inappropriate xenophilic
comments on Twitter.
But these were not enough to destroy her.
What completely ruined her was that Chloe actually went to watch a burlesque show and posted photos with the performers online.
At the height of the controversy, Chloe was verbally abused at school.
Some people even dug up photos of her with dyed hair at 16, and netizens said she was misbehaving and worshiping foreign cultures at such a
young age.
The public opinion grew worse, and the school could no longer cover it up.
Near graduation, Chloe received a notice of expulsion from the school.
But even so, Chloe still had dad and Aunt Holly as her backup. As long as she was willing to repent, dad would still forgive her.
Who knew, the punk broke up with her at this time.
She snapped and posted online, pushing all the responsibility onto her stepmom Holly.
Just like that, Aunt Holly was also cyberbullied.
When dad’s family fell into a low point.
i, on the other hand, successfully graduated from college, had a decent job with stepdad’s help, and found a quality marriage partner.
Chloe went crazy.
She pretended to invite me to dinner, but when I left my seat, she poured poison into my drink,
Little did she know, I was just a puppet who had been brainwashed and manipulated all my life.
My early marriage was just a plan made by mom and stepdad to get rid of me so they could have their life together.
Mom didn’t love me.
Unfortunately, I only realized this at the moment of my death.
But now.
My closet is full of colorful and beautiful clothes.
I also have my own makeup table, filled with expensive cosmetics given to me by my stepmom.
For a moment, I thought my stepmom was being too lenient with me.
But until my stepmom said to me: “Emma, I don’t want you to be cautious and well–behaved because of my presence, worried that I’ll take away your dad’s love. I just hope you can live a vibrant and passionate life. In this family, your love won’t decrease. Because you’ll have the love of both me and your dad.”

“Thank you for choosing me. From now on, no matter how you choose to live, I’ll do my best to support you.”
I finally understood.
Oh, stepmom wasn’t trying to corrupt me.
She just gave me the opportunity to choose, the opportunity to become a free girl.
In my previous life, on the same day, what did my stepdad Daniel do?
He looked at my gradually developing body, his eyes showing a hint of inappropriate desire.
Then, he called me “shameless” and turned to go into the bathroom.
When the sound of flushing came, I still didn’t know what had happened.
It was mom who suddenly rushed at me, grabbing my hair and pushing me to the ground.
She said mercilessly: “You’re really a slut, you won’t even spare your uncle!”
That night, mom cut off the long hair I had been growing for three years with scissors.
From then on, I completely became a puppet for others to manipulate.
I was no longer a free girl.

Time flew by, and another two years passed.
Chloe’s 16th birthday was approaching. Guess what kind of gift her dear stepdad would give her?
Anyway, she would no longer be able to get tattoos, dye her hair, and traveling abroad was out of the question.
But she still seemed proud, subtly shading me again on Instagram.
She posted a photo of herself with long black hair, writing: “Pure high school girl forever! I really don’t understand why some people have to dye their hair and get piercings, looking neither human nor ghost, giving off total emo vibes.”
Haha, Chloe probably thought I had been corrupted by my stepmom now.
Because yesterday I did post a Tik Tok video of myself with heavy makeup and purple hair.
But I don’t think I mentioned that I was just cosplaying at the biggest anime convention in the country?
Yes, I’ve always loved watching anime since I was young, and even tried making cosplay costumes myself in high school.
However, this interest didn’t last long before it was discovered by my stepdad.
Stepdad and mom joined forces to throw away all the manga I had hidden, and the cosplay costume I made by hand was cut into pieces.
Mom said: “Are you one of those slutty cosplayers? Dressing up like that, are you planning to work the streets after graduation?”
Her words were really hurtful.
I couldn’t understand how a mother, as a woman herself, could humiliate her own daughter like this.
But in this life, I never tasted that pain again.
After Chloe posted her shady Instagram post, she received a lot of praise from relatives and friends.
She must have been very pleased, so after about fifteen minutes, she downloaded my Tik Tok video and posted it on her Instagram.
With the caption: “Look at my sister’s selfie video, do you guys think it’s pretty?”

Obviously.
All our relatives and friends started attacking me.
Saying I was misbehaving, being alternative, including comments from my stepdad.
“Dressing up like a foreign girl, really bringing shame to Chinese people!”
