My Elite Parents Called Me an Idiot and Chose a Genius Daughter Instead Chapter 10
My funeral was simple.Only Grandma, Mom, Dad, and Jacey, who did not want to come, were there.Grandma insisted on burying me beneath the old oak tree.She said I was afraid of the dark, and this spot was close to home, where I could still see the lights.During the burial, Dad placed the lump of candy sludge inside a crystal box and put it in my coffin."Anna, I ate it. It was sweet."He stroked my face, his fingers trembling."If there is a next life, don't be born into our family. Find parents who are a little less clever. As long as they love you, that will be enough."Mom covered me with a brand-new pink puffer coat.She went to the mall and bought it after staying up all night for several days.She used to think pink was tacky and only dressed me in old gray clothes.Now she bought me the brightest, prettiest pink one."Anna, I put new clothes on you. I will never call you ugly again. You are my most beautiful little angel."She cried so hard that she could not stand. She collap

Grandma woke up.After spending three days in the intensive care unit, she finally opened her eyes.Her first words were, "Where's Anna?"The nurse did not dare answer. She left with red-rimmed eyes.Mom and Dad received the news and hurried to the hospital.They wore wrinkled clothes and looked gaunt and haggard, as if they had aged ten years.The moment they entered the room, Grandma struggled to sit up."Simson! Where's Anna? Did you get her out?"Dad could not bring himself to meet Grandma's eyes. He dropped to his knees beside the bed."Mom… Anna…"Grandma stared at her son's expression and froze.Cloudy tears rolled from the corners of her deeply wrinkled eyes.She did not cry out. She simply held her mouth open, as if she were trying to breathe or scream without making a sound."She's dead?"Grandma's voice was so faint that it sounded like a passing breeze.Dad lowered his head and began banging it against the floor."Mom, I'm sorry. I failed you and Anna…"Grandma's trembling

The next day, news of my death began trending online.The comments came pouring in.Someone dug up Mom and Dad's identities, along with the parenting articles they published.The parenting guides once treated as gospel had now become evidence of murder."What a pair of worthless experts. They're murderers!""That adopted daughter is no innocent either. She deliberately turned off her phone. What a manipulative little snake!""That poor little girl. She died believing her parents would come to save her."Mom and Dad were suspended from the university.They hid inside the apartment with the curtains drawn tightly shut. They were too afraid to look at their phones or answer their calls.Someone splashed red paint across their door and wrote, "Murderers must pay with their lives."Jacey no longer dared to go to school either.She curled up in the corner of the sofa, clutching her math competition trophy as she watched Mom and Dad in terror."Dad, Mom, I'm hungry…"Dad sat on the floor, uns

The officer tossed the security footage screenshots in front of Dad.In the photos, Jacey was flashing a peace sign at the camera, with her phone charging on the table beside her.Her smile was radiant, and her eyes held a slyness far beyond her years."Professor Lee, admit it. That genius education you were so proud of produced a polished little opportunist."Meanwhile, the girl you despised was still thinking about saving you a piece of candy until the moment she died."Dad stared at the photos, breathing heavily.The educational system he was so proud of collapsed in that instant."Ahhh!"He suddenly let out a scream and slammed his head against the table.Blood poured down his face.In the interview room next door, Mom was being questioned.She was much calmer than Dad.She tried to defend herself with professional terminology."Officer, this was a cognitive bias. Given the circumstances, my judgment was based on probability theory…""Shut up!" The female officer questioning her sl

He finally noticed my stiff right hand, the fist clenched tightly against my chest.The officer sighed and pried my rigid fingers open.It was difficult. Rigor mortis had already set in.The officer used tremendous force to pry open my fingers one by one.A sticky, black lump was revealed.It was the melted caramel.The wrapper had disintegrated, and the candy was mixed with sludge and canal water. It was impossible to recognize what it had once been.But Dad recognized it.It was the candy the family bought for Jacey three days earlier.I secretly took one.Dad slapped my palm and called me "a greedy little thief."I had not eaten it.I wanted to save it for Dad because he said his mouth tasted bitter that day.Dad held the filthy lump of candy mud in both hands, his entire body trembling."This is… This is…"The officer said quietly, "She stayed in this position the entire time we were recovering her. When she struggled in the water, she didn't reach for the grass along the bank. She

The flashlight beam fell on the bottom of the bag.There was no tantrum, only a pale, swollen face.Ice clung to my hair, and my lips were slightly parted in the posture of someone crying for help.My pink padded coat had soaked up so much water that it had turned black and hung heavily from my body.My right hand was clenched tightly against my chest, frozen in place.Dad's hand remained suspended in midair, and the cold sneer at the corner of his mouth twisted into a ridiculous grimace.Mom gasped and collapsed onto the muddy ground. "This… this is a dummy?"Dad reached out and touched my cheek with trembling fingers.It was ice-cold and hard as stone.This was not a dummy. This was his daughter, the one who was "as tough as a stray dog."The officer said coldly, "She had been dead for more than three hours. She struggled in the water for a long time. She kept waiting for you."Dad jerked his hand back and fell heavily onto the ground.His gaze fell on my stiff right fist.He pried
