Branded a Liar Chapter 10 Too Late to Love
The next day, Dad drafted the divorce agreement, liquidated all the shares he held, and put the villa up for sale. He was going to take me with him and leave this filthy place behind for good.Mom tried to fight him in court over the division of assets. But Dad had irrefutable evidence—proof that she had transferred assets and cheated during the marriage.In the end, she left with nothing.When Adrian realized she had no money left, he took what little savings she still had and disappeared, leaving even the baby behind. Mom stood on the street, holding the crying infant, looking like a stray dog with nowhere to go.On the seventh day after my death, Dad took me back to the old house in the countryside. It was the house Grandpa had left behind—the place I had lived before I turned five.There were vast fields of rapeseed flowers, a clear little stream, and Grandpa's warm embrace. It was the only place in my memory that had ever felt warm.Dad set a full table of dishes in the cour
Branded a Liar Chapter 9 A Prince's Room for the Dead
The car started, carrying that once-arrogant, vicious child deep into the mountains.Word had it that his life there was miserable.When he slacked off and did not feed the pigs, our distant aunt would beat him and chase him halfway up the hills. When he complained about the food and smashed his plate, he would be left hungry for three days and nights.Very quickly, he learned to read people's expressions and to dig through trash for something to eat. At last, he finally understood what kind of life his brother had lived in that so-called luxurious villa.The only difference was that I had been bullied because I was obedient. He was being punished because he was cruel.This would be the rest of his life. There was no redemption for him, only endless labor and beatings, until that rotten heart of his completely decayed in the mud.…After sending Rylan away, Dad threw himself into renovations with a kind of desperate frenzy. He tore down the cramped little doghouse on the first f
Branded a Liar Chapter 8 His Turn to Play the Game
Rylan cried as he lashed out, grabbing whatever he could reach from the floor and throwing it around wildly. When his hand closed around the bloodstained digital watch, he glanced at it with open disgust. "What is this trash? Ugh, disgusting!"With a sharp yank, he snapped the cheap watch apart and flung it straight at Dad's face. "I don't care! I want a new game console! I want ice cream! Go buy them for me right now!"Dad stood frozen. The broken watch struck his face, leaving a small cut across his cheek.He stared at Rylan, who was rolling on the floor, throwing a tantrum without the slightest restraint.This was the flower he had nurtured with everything he had. Except it wasn't a flower at all—it was a man-eating plant. And he was the accomplice who had personally fed his other son to it.The surge of rage and grief hit him all at once. Dad coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing stiffly onto the floor.Rylan jumped in fright. However, instead
Branded a Liar Chapter 7 Realization
Just as Dad was drowning in overwhelming grief and regret, the sound of light, cheerful footsteps came from the doorway.Rylan was wearing that blue jersey and holding his newly bought game console in his hands while humming the theme song of a cartoon.He poked his head inside and saw Dad sitting on the floor, whose face was covered in tears and clutching the worn-out diary in his arms.Rylan did not panic or feel guilty the way anyone sane might. Instead, he simply tilted his head and asked innocently, "Dad, what are you doing? You look so ugly when you cry."Dad's sobbing came to an abrupt stop at those words. He slowly raised his head, his red and swollen eyes staring right at Rylan.Rylan felt uneasy under his gaze, but he ignored it. Then, he wrinkled his nose and pointed disdainfully at the diary in Dad's arms."Isn't that the trash notebook that the jinx picked up? It's so dirty. Dad, hurry up and throw it away. It must be full of germs." His tone was completely matter-of
Branded a Liar Chapter 6 The Diary
"Today, Dad told me to keep an eye on Rylan, but Rylan tricked me into playing hide-and-seek and ran outside by himself. No wonder I couldn't find him anywhere. He must have gone to the park to play. "However, he said I threw him out of the house. Dad was so angry that he hit me and made me kneel as punishment. He said I was a rotten liar, but it was Rylan who lied!"…"Today, Dad chased me out of my room and made me live in the stairwell. The stairwell is so dark and cold. I'm so scared, but I'm also afraid Dad will get even angrier if I say anything. Will Dad stop being mad if I keep being a good boy? Will he stop blaming me?"…"Today, Rylan broke the vase. It was Dad's favorite blue-and-white porcelain vase. Rylan cried and said I did it. Dad whipped my hand with a belt. It hurt so much. I didn't lie. I really didn't. Why won't Dad believe me? Is it because I'm not good enough?"…Dad's fingers brushed over my handwriting, as though he could feel the grievance and helplessn
Branded a Liar Chapter 5 My Room
Dad instinctively frowned and walked inside stiffly.The space was less than five square meters. It was so cramped that it felt suffocating.There were no windows, and the only source of light was the faint glimmer seeping in through the crack beneath the door.Several pieces of worn-out clothing were piled in the corner. They were Rylan's old clothes that he no longer wanted. I had picked them up, patched them, and continued wearing them.There was no desk, no wardrobe, and not even a proper bed. There were only a few discarded wooden planks put together to form a sleeping platform, with a thin quilt on top that had turned black and stiff.Matthew had been about to throw it away, but I begged him to let me keep it.Beside the bed sat a chipped enamel cup with a dried wild plant inside. I had picked it up by the roadside in spring.I thought it was like me, lowly and insignificant. However, it still wanted to live despite it all.Dad stood in the doorway, staring at everything
