The Drone Lifted Me Up and Out of Her Life Chapter 11
I looked at Mom, feeling a mix of complex emotions. I couldn't say I didn't feel any resentment toward her, as she had abandoned me when I needed her the most. I couldn't possibly ignore her, though, as she was still my mother."It's all in the past now, Mom," I said before I helped her to a bench nearby to sit down.Mom then informed me that Dad lost his job for good after the Thornton family went bankrupt. They had no choice but to move back to their hometown and scrape by doing odd jobs, living a very difficult life. "Your father regrets it too, saying that he was useless because he failed to protect you, Dominic."I fell silent, thinking that a belated apology couldn't erase the past, but maybe it was enough to help me move on. I handed her a bank card and said, "I've saved some money from my part-time jobs, so you should use this for now. I'll send you an allowance every month from now on, Mom."Mom wept and refused to accept it. "Your father and I treated you so poorly. Why a

I had never seen Lisa cry like this before—gasping for air between sobs. I didn't feel moved at all, though, as my feelings for her were truly gone. "Your five minutes are up," I stated flatly before I turned to leave, not sparing Lisa another glance.In the end, the Thornton family's company folded under market and public pressure. Oliver grew visibly older overnight and was hospitalized after suffering from a stroke from the overwhelming shock. Lisa had to sell her mansion and luxury cars, moving into an old, dilapidated apartment complex.I got all this information from Leonardo. I merely hummed in response after hearing everything. I was already moving forward with my life, so everything that happened before seemed like it belonged to someone else, distant and hazy.I did very well during my SATs. Winnie and I both got into Thalora University, where I majored in Computer Science and she majored in Journalism.Uncle Lionel was thrilled when I got my admission notice. He even p

In the end, the school administration reacted fast, firing Mr. Trent and referring him to the authorities.They even publicly apologized to me and reinstated all my honors during a school-wide assembly, with Mr. Lowe reading the apology statement out loud in front of everyone.I stood before the entire school, noting that the people who had looked down on me and ridiculed me all had their heads lowered. I neither cried nor smiled, merely feeling an unusual sense of stillness within me.It didn't stop there, as Uncle Lionel forwarded the video to one of the biggest news agencies in Casoria. "Heiress Stops at Nothing to Force Her First Love to Return, Bribing the Vice Principal to Orchestrate the Cheating Scandal."There was a public outcry as soon as the news broke.In the end, as a prominent company with a clean reputation in Casoria, the Thornton family's company was devastated by the scandal. Their shares tanked, wiping out billions of dollars in value in one day, while Lisa and

I had become the biggest joke at Casoria Central High School, and those who had once admired me now regarded me with contempt."I never expected him to be like this. I actually considered him a role model.""You really can't judge a book by its cover.""He obviously saw Winnie's grades and decided to cheat his way there.""I heard he had a history of bad behavior at his previous school and got expelled from there."Those rumors spread through the school like an infection, becoming increasingly ridiculous.I felt as if I was being suspended in the air again as I walked through the school, exposed to everyone's judgment.Leonardo stayed by my side, blocking out the hostile stares. "You shouldn't listen to their nonsense, Dominic—I believe you!"Winnie stood up for me, too. She stood in front of the class and announced, "I firmly believe that Dominic didn't cheat in the midterm exam. I won't hold back if anyone dares to spread lies again!"Their support did nothing to remove the

I smiled faintly as I leaned down and kissed Winnie's forehead. "I like you too, Winnie."I started dating Winnie, and we kept it to ourselves, preferring to keep our relationship a secret.Winnie treated me so well that it felt like a dream. She knew everything I liked and disliked. She knew I didn't like cilantro, so she would always remind the waiter not to put cilantro in my food. She learned how to specifically brew coffee for me since she knew I liked coffee but was sensitive to caffeine.She also knew I was afraid of the dark, so she insisted on walking me to Uncle Lionel's apartment after extracurriculars in the evening.These small acts of kindness were like a warm net that gradually pulled me out of the swamp of my dark past.I smiled more and grew more social, and before I even realized it, I recovered from my condition.Lisa eventually disappeared from my life. She no longer sought me out or sent me gifts.I thought she had finally given up. I couldn't have been more

It turned out that Dad's job mattered more to Mom than my dignity or well-being. I asked flatly, "If I were dead, would you just take the payout and live your lives without a second thought, Mom?"I heard nothing from the other end of the phone, and eventually, I could hear Mom's cries. I immediately hung up and blocked her number. I couldn't help but feel as if no one seemed to truly care for me, other than Uncle Lionel and Winnie.…I placed first in the entire grade for midterms, and Winnie came in right behind me in second.Mr. Zimmerman commended us in front of the class. "You two are the pride of this class, Dominic and Winnie! It's impressive how you've settled in and excelled so soon after transferring, Dominic!"I received applause from all my classmates, the cheers genuine and full of enthusiasm.I saw Winnie smiling at me from her seat, feeling a sense of security I had never known before.Leonardo suggested a trip to a hot spring resort in the neighboring city since
