Chapter 8

Peachy Fourteen
How could I not be heartbroken?

In my memories, Laurel gently cleaned my scrapes when I got hurt. She held me in her arms and soothed me while I cried.

She used to style my hair into pretty braids and smiled as she told me I was the most beautiful princess.

Baron used to protect me when I got into fights with other children. He would use his tiny hands to wipe away my tears.

The memories were what kept me going through all those dark nights in the orphanage.

But they gave all that love to

    Then, he realized something. “Oh, you’re that terrible janitor! I only looked at you because I was confused. I was wondering why you weren’t fired yet.”He then turned to me with a concerned look.“See what I mean? She’s so unprofessional. Did any of that coffee get on you?”I smiled and shook my head before walking up to Hannah and slapping her across the face.“If you’re going to accuse me of being awful to you, I might as well live up to it.“Hannah, go collect your last paycheck and get lost. If you ever try to pull something like this again, I will slap you until you’re red in the face!”This time, she was genuinely crying. She stepped forward and grabbed Silas’ sleeve.“Do you see? That’s who she really is! She’s cruel and heartless.“She’s putting on an act. If you’re into her looks, I’ve got the same face. I’ll treat you way better than she ever will.”Silas pulled himself out of her grasp and stared at her icily.“The last person who badmouthed her in front of me

    Jerry became anxious when I remained unmoved.“Just because you have a little money now, do you think you’re above everyone, even your own family? How can you live with yourself?”His anger almost made me laugh in exasperation.“Companies hire people based on their skills, not their last names. If Hannah can actually earn her way into Quill Enterprises, she’s welcome to it.“But does she have what it takes?”With that, I picked up my bag and walked away. Jerry’s voice came from behind me.“Those are your words! When the time comes, don’t you dare make things difficult for her.”It was laughable. The Quill Group only hired graduate students from prestigious universities. With her high school diploma and her SAT score of 850, there was no way she could get in. I had no idea where he got his confidence.The very next month, I ran into Hannah.She had actually applied to be a janitor at our company.For a moment, I was genuinely confused. If she had only wanted a job, Jerry

She said it was an engagement gift from her.Inside the box was a pair of diamond bracelets. At the very bottom lay a note with my birth date written on it, along with a few words.[I’m sorry.]I placed the box on the highest shelf of my bookcase. I was unable to forgive them so easily.My university studies passed by quickl

    Near the end of the party, Clement confronted me.“Kaitlyn, no matter what happened, you had no right to treat Hannah and the Johnstons that way. They’re still your family. How could you do that to them?”Silas walked over with a wine glass in hand. He stared coldly at Clement.“Mr. Carey, you’re awfully concerned about other people’s families. Shouldn’t you be putting out the fire in your own backyard first?”Clement was close to losing his temper, but he held back because of Silas’ status. In the end, he could only walk away dejectedly.As I watched his retreating figure, I asked curiously, “What did you do to his family?”“I didn’t need to do anything. His family already had their hands dirty to begin with. “I just exposed what was already there. He shouldn’t have talked about you like that.”He took my hand and added, “Come, I want to introduce you to my childhood friend from Pranceton City. He wants to meet my genius fiancee.”Soon, word spread through the social circl

    “Oh? I wasn’t aware that anyone had the authority to kick my son and daughter-in-law out of a Quill family party at the Grandeur,” Victor’s deep, resonant voice said from behind the crowd. Everyone turned to look in his direction.Jerry’s expression flipped from shock to eager delight, with just a flicker of caution. He was too rattled to even hear what Victor had just said.“Mr. Quill, are you here for my daughter’s party, too?“There’s a small misunderstanding here. Just bear with me. Let me introduce you to my daughter, Kaitlyn.”With that, he reached out to pull Hannah forward.Victor, however, seemed grim and looked at him in contempt.“Don’t treat everyone in this room like idiots.“I hosted this party for Kaitlyn. You’re welcome to stay if you’re here as her biological father. But I won’t have some cheap impostor and a bunch of strays crashing my event!”Upon hearing this, Hannah’s eyes welled up with tears, and she was about to cry. Laurel quickly stepped forward to

    Victor and Rosemary also prepared the same party for me. It was held at the very same hotel that the Johnston family had booked.They also decided to announce my engagement to Silas at the banquet.When Jerry and Laurel led the fake Kaitlyn into the banquet hall, she saw many business tycoons who were rarely seen in public. She was especially thrilled.She silently marveled at how useful the title of Pranceton City’s top exam scorer really was. She was so glad that they had given it to Hannah.Since the Quill family had initially announced that the party was to celebrate their future daughter-in-law’s college admission, no one suspected a thing when Jerry and Laurel brought Hannah in under Kaitlyn’s name. She went around the room like a social butterfly, mingling with everyone. The guests were gushing about how brilliant and gorgeous she was.Jerry and Laurel were basking in it. They were so puffed up with pride they could hardly contain themselves.Just then, I stepped onto th
