On the way to Myanmar, Charlotte seized the opportunity when the kidnappers weren’t paying attention, stole their confiscated phone, and sert a messi asking for help
It was this clur that led the police to capture the kidnappers and recover
I was awarded a prize and received a large sum of money.
With my plane ticket in hand, I boarded the plane feeling despondent
In the past, I yearned to study abroad, simply hoping to achieve success and urn home to give my parents a better life.
But this time, I was doing it solely for myself.
That shabby, impoverished home had nothing worth missing.
And these wealthy parents who only pretended to be poor weren’t worth my detachment either.
The only person was reactant to leave behind was my boyfriend., James.
Before leaving for abroad, called him to reassure him and told him that one graduated and settled abroad. I would arrange for him to come and live with me
After arriving oversos, due to my excellent grades before the recommendation, I quickly joined a research group and immersed myself in my project, undistracted.
Here, everyone was focused solely on their research, without any concern for the social status or wealth of the team members.
Here. I met many people, and my mentor praised me, making me feel welcomed and cared for in ways I had never experienced before.
I thought that by going abroad, I emild sever all ties with my parents. But to my surprise, their connections were so extensive that they still managed to find me.
Just after leaving the research institute, several luxury cars appeared in front of me.
A group of bodyguards reshed out, escorting two figures toward mo

Iraised my eyes and saw them.
One was dressed in a suit, with polished shoes, and the other wore a qpan adorned with pearls and jewels.
The unhealthy pallor had long vanished from their faces. My father’s once–be back was now upright, and my mother’s once–submissive expression was gone.
They were the proud, high–standing, and invincible couple of the wealthy elice
But when I saw them, there was no warmth in my heart, only a deep sense of humiliation
I pretended not to see them and turned to leave.
My fath

“Mbg, I’m sorry, but the boss has given orders. We cannot let you

Trecognized him immediately. He was one of the people who had hit me the hardest in front of the hotel.
I suddenly

en hand?
As soon as I said this, the bodyguard was stunned, and both my parents frore
“That day was that beggar… ymu, mbs?”
The bodyguard turned pale, lis voice trembling as he spoke.
My father rushed in front of me, his Ence filled with disbelief.
“Daughter, that day, really was you? You say us celebrating Mia’s birthday?:
I sneered.
“Yes, Mr. Parker, that day you were hobling Mix, pointing at me, and calling a beggar, a pitiable and lowly person, as worthless as a dog.
My father, upon hearing this, was struck damb with shock.
… I didn’t know it was you. If I had known, I would never have spoken that why shout my own daughter.”
My mother hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
“Your father didn’t mean it. It was dark, and you.. looked that way…
1 interrupted their explanations
“Yes, I’ve been poor for over twenty years. He could deserve to be your daughter? Besides, have scars on my face.”
My parents were left speechless by my words. They kept apologizing and explaining, but I refused to listen, taking a taxi and leaving.
In the rearview mirror, I saw my father furious, taking his anger out on the boyguard.
You bastard! You should have your eyes gouged out! How dare you hit my daughter! How dare you insult her!”
The bodyguard kept begging for mercy.
In the following days, my parents appeared every day, trying to meet me, eve offering to sponsor the research institute to see me.
But once the research institute learned about my situation, they refused.
“Mr. Parker, we know you’re wealthy, but Parker Charlotte is the most proming researcher here. We cannot let such a talented individual feel disappointed just for the sake of your money.”
My father still tried to argue, but he was ruthlessly kicked
I grew tired of it all and decided to live at the research institute.
After a month, my parents realized I was determined and left in frustration.
They knew I wouldn’t forgive them, so they turned to James as a last resort
But James, due to what my mother had done in the past, refused to help them matter what.
Then, one day, a year later, my parents‘ butler called to say that my father has terminal iness and didn’t have much time left
James, upon hearing this, urged me to return home to visit.
Jagreed to go back, but not for thear–only to celebrate James’s birthday.
Chapter 8
After returning to the country, as I walked out of the airport, James was there holding a muquet of flowers to greet me
While celebrating his birthday at a restaurant, I noticed that the entire place empty
It was only after James asked the manager that we learned the restaurant had been booked by the Parker family.
He looked at me with a guilty expression
“Charlotte, I didn’t tell anyone you were coming back, and I don’t know how your parents found out we were here.”
I smiled and teased him.
1 believe you. With their financial power, it’s easy for thein to gather information about me.”
Sure enough, at that moment, my mother walked into the restaurant.
“Dear daughter!“
He cry made my heart tighten, and I felt a strong urge to cry.
But soon as I remembered how they had treated me, the bear that had slowly started to heal once again died within me.
She hurried over to me, and when I looked at her, her once jet–black hair now had many strands of white, and there were more wrinkles
she reached our to huge, but I stepped back quickly.
My mother froze in place, staring at me
Finally, with a fare full of regret, she cried out.
Tear, after a year, you s
ar, you still can’t forgive your father and me?
Icoldly responded.
“Sorry, I’m not your daughter. Your beloved precious daughter is Mix.”
“Dear, don’t say that. She may not be our biological daughter, but you carry of blood, you are our real daughter!“
Istood up, took James’s hand, and prepared to leave when my mother sudden knelt down
“Charlotte, your father and I were wrong. We shouldn’t have treated you that way. Please come back. Your father doesn’t have much time left. His biggest regret is not being able to see you?”
“When you were born, your parents believed in fortune–telling, saying you were unlucky for us and that you wouldn’t have great wealth. They even said we had to find someone to take on your misfortune, or you would die young. That’s why we treated you the way we did and adopted your sister. None of this was what we truly wanted!”
“Mia has already been kicked out of the family. You are the only hear to the Parker family now. If you accept us, you can inherit the family b
ng her cry as she revealed everything, and then offered these tempting conditions, my heart stirred not at all.
Watching!
Family is not a transaction, and I calmly refused.
Sorry, I’m used to a hard life. The Efestyle of the rich is something I’m not used to. You should find someone else.”
After Theh, my mother cried out in agony.
“Dear, no matter what you are still the most beloved daughter in our hearts!“|
Three years later, James came abroad to join me, and we worked hard togeth. He had some success, and we got married and settled abroad.
