Chapter 1 Overnight , everyone could hear the fake heiress's inner thoughts . She called my mom an old hag and an ugly monster . She pitied my dad for being henpecked . She mocked my brother as a sissy , saying he was clingy and wimpy . She even coveted the school hunk in front of her boyfriend . Everybody exchanged uneasy glances , utterly sickened by her cutesy act . 5 vouchers I was the Sharpe family's true heiress , separated from them for eighteen years . On my first day back , Emily Sharpe fell down the stairs and accused me of pushing her . Right then , my mom , Millicent Sharpe , slapped me across the face . My dad , Brogan Sharpe , glared and scolded me , while my brother , Milo Sharpe , cursed me viciously . Even Sharon Zamora , the housekeeper , held a grudge against me , and from then on , she stopped providing me with meals . I thought this must be rock bottom . My life couldn't possibly get worse . However , I didn't expect Emily to spread rumors at school , making me a bullying target . They cornered me in the restrooms , forcing me to bow my head . My desk was perpetually drenched in cooking oil waste , reeking of rotting food . I drank toilet water and swallowed sludge from the gutter . They cut my hair , which became scraggly . My clothes were torn to shreds . I sought help from my family , hoping to find understanding and support . However , to my dismay , they thought I had persecution paranoia , convinced that I was just jealous of Emily and having a mental breakdown . ཤ་ འཟོ་ ༄ ན་ཚ་ ཁ " Jocelyn , no matter how you hurt me , I've always defended you in front of classmates , teachers , and family . But look what you've done to me ," Emily complained . Her eyes reddened slightly , and her soft and fragile look instantly won everyone's sympathy . I clutched my emptied bank card that Emily had secretly drained as my tears streamed down my face . I wanted to explain , but nobody gave me the chance . Millicent said , " You claim Emily stole your card and spent the 650 dollars you saved from part - time work ? That's ridiculous . Emily gets a monthly allowance of 6,500 dollars . Why would she care about your petty cash ? " Brogan declared , " We never gave you allowance , and you're in Grade 12 , buried in schoolwork . Where did you find time to earn 650 dollars ? Stop this petty scheme against Emily ." Milo sneered , " Two years in the Sharpe family and two years of constant drama . Your reputation is trash at school , and you've disgraced our home . You really inherited your foster parents ' cruelty and greed . Why don't you just leave our family ? " Emily sniffled , tugging Milo's sleeve . " Don't be harsh . Jocelyn wants your love too much . I'm fine , really . " Her words , accompanied by tears streaming down her cheeks , only fueled Brogan , Millicent , and Milo's verbal attack on me even more . Milo told me to get lost . P P Chapter 1 Millicent then said the Sharpe family could no longer keep me . Brogan took a deep breath and said they'd send me back to my adoptive parents the next day . But I'd rather die than go back to my greedy adoptive parents . I swallowed the lump in my throat , locking away every trace of emotion . 5 vouchers I bowed deeply to them and said , " Mr. Brogan Sharpe, Mrs. Millicent Sharpe , Mr. Milo Sharpe , Ms. Emily Sharpe , and Sharon , thank you for sheltering me these two years . I'll leave tomorrow . " With that , I went upstairs to my room , which was converted from the attic . I buried myself under the blanket , crying while listening to their gentle murmurs downstairs . " Emily , don't feel bad . She's so ungrateful . Even though she's our daughter , we won't keep her anymore , " Brogan said . " Don't blame yourself . She's inherently greedy and selfish . With her gone , our home will have one less problem , " Millicent added . " Emily , from now on , you'll be the only young lady of the Sharpe family , " Millo assured her . 2/2 ミアム DEAT
