The flesh and blood I once cherished more than my own life had become the one who hurt me the deepest.
Looking at Lily before me now, in my heart I already saw her as a complete stranger.
Just as I was lost in thought, Jack and Lily kicked aside the dog Yellow that had accompanied me for years, and roughly dragged me into their
car.
I struggled desperately, wanting to check on Yellow’s condition, but was no match for the fulle
Lily even took out a fruit knife from the car and waved it in front of my face.
“You ugly freak, you’d better behave. Otherwise I’ll disfigure the other side of your face too!”
of them.
Even though I had long decided to cut ties with her, seeing her vicious expression still made my heart ache.
No matter what, I was still the mother who gave birth to her and raised her. Yet she treated me like this.
I obediently stopped struggling and sat quietly in the car.

Because I knew Lily wasn’t simply threatening me.
If I continued to make a fuss, she really would follow through on her words.
After all, in her eyes, her own birth mother was no different from a beggar on the street.
“That’s more like it. As long as you obediently listen to us, we won’t let you keep wandering homeless. We’ll keep you in the Jiang house like a pet, since Grandpa still needs you.”
“You probably don’t understand the wealth of our Jiang family now.”
She held up the Cartier watch on her wrist, waving it in front of me like she was showing off.
“This watch was a gift from Aunt Olivia. It cost over $70,000. You could never afford something like this in your entire life.”
“As a poor beggar, you need to know your place. Don’t try to put on airs in front of us. It won’t do you any good.”
Even though I was Lily’s birth mother, it didn’t stop her from lecturing me with the attitude of an elder.
Listening to her words, my whole body started trembling with anger.
I really didn’t
what kind of environment the Jiang family was raising Lily in, to make her so utterly disrespectful.
Arriving at the Jiang house entrance, I immediately sent a message to my two adopted sons, telling them to come pick me up from the Jiang house right away.
1 didn’t want to stay in this place for even a second longer.
Just as I sent the message, a familiar figure walked out of the house.
“Sister, it’s been so many years. How did you end up in such a sorry state?”
“You’re bringing shame to our whole Lin family!”
The speaker was my sister, Olivia Lin.
Olivia’s eyes were still full of disdain for me, and she even tilted her head up slightly as she spoke.
She seemed to have forgotten that she only got everything she has now because of my generosity.
“Olivia Lin, let go of me, and let go of yourself too!”
I tried to use a calm tone to communicate with Olivia.
She had always been strong–willed since childhood, liking to compete with me on everything.
For her sake, I had already given up too much.
My education, my family, even half my life I had given to
But she didn’t seem to appreciate my good intentions at all.
She was still as arrogant as before.
Olivia looked at me mockingly.
“Let go of you? Do you even deserve to say such things in your current state?”
“Know your place. You’re no different from a beggar now. From now on, as long as you behave like a good dog in our Jiang house, you can still enjoy some of the Jiang family’s glory and wealth.”
As she spoke. Olivia lightly clapped her hands having a servant bring an ovquisite siết kovi
