Chapter 9

مؤلف: Sixth Hour
Life gradually settled into a peaceful rhythm. Free from the shackles of my toxic family, I could finally focus on my career and my own life.

Even though the trauma from the past still crept up on me on some nights, the pain was slowly being washed away by the flow of my new reality.

One evening, while I was working late, my phone rang. It was Jessica Hayes, my best friend from high school.

She had always loved digging up gossip, and she'd been particularly obsessed with my family's "true and

  • I Gave Up My Parents' Love First   Chapter 11

    Martin stared at my outrageous asking price, his teeth clenched as he counted all those zeros. In the end, he agreed, but it was obvious he felt like he was cutting into his own flesh to do it.He thought he'd struck gold, but a few months later, my pharmaceutical company nearly gave him a heart attack.I had used the Klein family's own money to quickly set up a brand-new production line, turning that secret formula into a mass-produced pharmaceutical.In the blink of an eye, what was supposed to be an exclusive, ridiculously expensive drug became a cheap, over-the-counter medicine available on every street corner. And the cheaper version worked just as well as the one he'd paid a fortune for.Even though he was seething inside, he couldn't say a word about it publicly. After all, nothing mattered more to him than keeping his condition a secret.As my production capacity grew, I used the same playbook to bring the other secret formulas to market.Unlike other pharmaceutical com

  • I Gave Up My Parents' Love First   Chapter 10

    During the few years I spent working abroad, I devoted myself entirely to my career. I gave it my all, proved my worth through results, and earned the respect of both upper management and my peers.During my time away, I finally broke free from the shadow my family had cast over me.Without the constant oppression and restraint, I realized for the first time just how freeing life could be. More importantly, I met someone who actually made my heart flutter.He wasn't some wealthy heir with crazy ambitions or desires. He was just an ordinary guy who made me feel safe enough to let my guard down completely. But to me, he was the only person who truly understood me and respected me.It was right around then that I received another call from my parents. Dad's tired voice came through the phone.That whole ordeal had taken a heavy toll on them, both physically and mentally. They were now a far cry from the confident, spirited people they used to be."Danielle, come home. The company

    Life gradually settled into a peaceful rhythm. Free from the shackles of my toxic family, I could finally focus on my career and my own life.Even though the trauma from the past still crept up on me on some nights, the pain was slowly being washed away by the flow of my new reality.One evening, while I was working late, my phone rang. It was Jessica Hayes, my best friend from high school.She had always loved digging up gossip, and she'd been particularly obsessed with my family's "true and fake heiress" drama recently. "Danielle, do you know what happened to Suzanne?"Jessica's voice held a hint of excitement and smug satisfaction. "I haven't really been keeping up with her," I replied."Oh, come on, you know you're curious! Remember when she first married into the Klein family and tried everything to cement her status as Martin's wife?"She even paid for all kinds of promotional articles tying herself to the Klein family. Well, now she's had a breakdown and wants out, but s

  • I Gave Up My Parents' Love First   Chapter 8

    A few days later, I was stopped outside my new company.To my surprise, the person blocking my way was Suzanne. She stood there looking completely travel-worn. "After sending me to a hellhole like the Klein residence, you ran off here to enjoy some peace and quiet yourself, huh?"Clutching her handbag, she closed the distance between us. Only then did I notice that her eyes were slightly red. She had clearly been crying for a long time."Did you find out beforehand that the Klein family was awful, and that's why you deliberately dumped that engagement on me?"I slowly raised my head and looked at her. "How can you say I dumped it on you when you were the one who snatched it away from me?"She pointed a finger right at my face, snapping, "Don't play dumb with me. You're that couple's daughter, so you're every bit as shrewd as they are. You'd never willingly do something that puts you at a disadvantage. I know you did this on purpose."I paused for a moment before speaking. "I've n

  • I Gave Up My Parents' Love First   Chapter 7

    Suzanne had believed marriage would elevate her social status. It was only now that she saw everything for what it really was—a matter of mutual benefit.The Klein family's dissatisfaction with her was starting to show, and her life was no longer smooth sailing.Between their pressure and the sheer greed and ruthlessness of her biological parents, she was cracking under the weight of it all.And finding out that the adoptive parents who once doted on her now wanted to "swap her out" was the final straw that broke her.Suzanne brought Trudy and Stanley to Mom and Dad's place. "You think you can have your real daughter replace me? That's not happening!"While Suzanne screamed at Mom and Dad, Trudy and Stanley stormed in and started smashing things. "You think you can use our daughter as your little pawn? You've got some nerve!"Mom finally lost her cool and exclaimed, "Your daughter can't even be considered a pawn. She's barely even human. She's just an ungrateful wretch!"Suzanne

  • I Gave Up My Parents' Love First   Chapter 6

    After Suzanne hung up on Mom and Dad, the guests around them began whispering, and their faces grew uglier by the second.Unable to hold back, they immediately had someone track Suzanne's phone.When they finally arrived, panting and out of breath, at the reception held at Stanley and Trudy's place, the scene before them practically short-circuited their brains.The spread over there was just as lavish as the one they had painstakingly prepared. Suzanne was dressed to the nines, laughing and chatting happily. Furious and indignant, they stormed over."Suzanne, why are you attending a reception hosted by people like them?"Stanley and Trudy looked deeply offended. "Watch your mouths. Suzanne is our daughter, after all. And after today, she'll officially be returning to her real family. She's going to change her last name tomorrow."Suzanne kept that same matter-of-fact expression. "Mr. and Mrs. Weston, they are my real parents."Mom and Dad clearly couldn't accept that response.
