Chapter 78: Guardianship Rights

As soon as I asked, Anessa replied,

“At present, Sumire’s guardianship has been transferred to the Child Protection Association, but this is not a long-term solution. Madam, have you considered what you plan to do next?”

We had pushed Kathy into the hands of the law, but Sumire’s life still had to continue.

She was a genius actress. That was an undeniable fact. So I did not wish for her to abandon the career she had worked so hard to build just because of people

  • Married To Him Again, No More Devotion   Chapter 79: Come Play at the Dominic House?

    Chapter 79: Come Play at the Dominic House?I fell silent.Well, that was the truth, but how exactly was I supposed to say it to her? A stranger had suddenly appeared and shattered the peace of her small family, and now she could not even go home. Sumire was surely very confused.I sighed and asked Sumire,“Do you really want to go back there?”Sumire was startled. She seemed surprised that I would ask such a question, and stammered for a long while.Going home was the natural thing for every child, but Sumire was probably smart enough to understand her current situation.She looked at me with a conflicted expression. It was obvious that she did want to go home, but did not dare say it aloud.Even if that place exhausted Sumire just like the Maxim couple did, the truth remained that she had grown up there.It would be difficult for her to begin living in a strange place all alone.Lilya grabbed Sumire’s hand and casually said,“Why would you go back there? If you don’t have anywhere t

    Chapter 78: Guardianship RightsAs soon as I asked, Anessa replied,“At present, Sumire’s guardianship has been transferred to the Child Protection Association, but this is not a long-term solution. Madam, have you considered what you plan to do next?”We had pushed Kathy into the hands of the law, but Sumire’s life still had to continue.She was a genius actress. That was an undeniable fact. So I did not wish for her to abandon the career she had worked so hard to build just because of people so undeserving.Sumire’s future would face many hardships because of her parents’ mistakes. Though she had done nothing wrong, against the cruelty of public opinion, Sumire needed someone by her side to protect her.The association could only ensure Sumire’s normal development. It could not provide her with the best conditions or guide her to go further.Stripping the Maxim couple of their guardianship was only the first step. Finding the right person to become her guardian was the real long-ter

  • Married To Him Again, No More Devotion   Chapter 77: Exploitation and Forced Child Labor

    Chapter 77: Exploitation and Forced Child LaborKathy was stunned, completely unable to believe what was happening before her eyes. She stammered as she tried to explain.“I don’t understand what you people are talking about at all. Exploiting a child? Are you talking about Sumire? She’s my daughter!”Looking at Kathy now was truly pathetic. She probably had never imagined that one day she would face accusations like this.Until now, Kathy had likely always rationalized everything Sumire had to do as a duty, and believed she was only doing what was best for the girl. That was why, at this moment, she could shamelessly bring out all that twisted reasoning to defend herself.“This is completely ridiculous! My daughter does so much because she wants to. She dreams of becoming a famous actress. Is it wrong for me to help her achieve those things?”As Kathy defended herself, she looked around, seeking agreement from everyone present. But unfortunately, no one would accept such warped and d

  • Married To Him Again, No More Devotion   Chapter 76: Please, Save Me!

    Chapter 76: Please, Save Me!After everything that happened today, even if Sumire did not want to believe it, she was forced to admit one truth: she would slowly die in the hands of her own parents.The father and mother she loved with all her heart were ruthlessly tightening their grip around the child they had given birth to. If Sumire continued pretending not to know, then she would be the one strangling her own life with her own hands.That painful truth was something Sumire had no choice but to face. She had to choose, either break free and save herself, or let her life shatter into pieces beneath her parents’ hands.I knew that no matter which choice she made, it would not be easy.This was the very boundary of morality that even adults could not judge easily, yet such a tiny child had to bear it.I sighed, rubbed Sumire’s head, and softly said,“I know it’s hard to choose. But I hope you understand that children have never had the duty to become a perfect version of themselves

    Chapter 75: A Pitiful ChildSumire suddenly collapsed with an expression of intense agony, throwing everyone in the room into complete confusion.Not only did the panel of judges exchange bewildered looks, even Kathy was so shocked that she seemed frozen in place, completely motionless with a pale face.That was right. She knew absolutely nothing about Sumire’s condition, so of course she was stunned.I had noticed it since last time. Kathy brought Sumire to and from class, but her mind had never once been on the child. She only held Sumire’s hand and took her there as if it were a task that had to be completed for the day, then quickly left, showing no concern at all for whether the girl was alright or not.Poor Sumire. Such a tiny child, yet she had to struggle alone with every wave of pain in her body without being able to rely on her own parents.Even at a moment like this, instead of worrying about Sumire’s health, Kathy only cared about outward appearances. She fumbled awkwardly

    Chapter 74: DisappointmentApplause rang out from inside after Lilya finished her performance, and the director’s expression was full of satisfaction.Sitting outside, Sumire nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard the applause, and the confusion on her face could no longer be hidden.“What exactly happened there? How did Lilya perform?”Sumire’s mind was now filled only with confusion, as if she had already imagined a series of scenes where Lilya acted like a genius, then received endless praise, with even the strict director complimenting her nonstop.Sumire clenched her hands. The pain in her stomach twisted sharply again, so painful that she had to wrap her arms around it.“Could it be that Lilya was really chosen already? Did I fail? How disappointed will Mom be in me!”Sumire was so afraid that she wanted to run away from here immediately. She did not dare imagine what kind of expression her mother would have.At that moment, Kathy strode over aggressively with a furious ex
