Chapter 5

Author: Bowl of Rice
My parents smiled awkwardly but did not respond to me, perhaps due to diffidence.

I picked up my cutlery and gobbled down the food. Then, I put on a painful and dazed look on my face, saying that I wasn't feeling too well and wanted to head upstairs to get some rest. Naturally, my parents went with the flow.

After getting upstairs, I turned back for one last glance. The emotions, which I had kept buried all this time, still surfaced a little.

I couldn't help but say in a miserable tone, "Back when I was an orphan, I always felt like my days were really difficult. I always thought of how great it would be if I had parents.

"Mom, Dad—you both love me, don't you?"

The childish question came like a hard slap to my parents' faces. They stared blankly at me, as if they were hesitating.

Nonetheless, all they did was hesitate. The color drained from their faces, and they remained silent.

I smiled and smoothed over their lie on their behalf, "Oh, I was just blabbering. If you didn

  • Their Love Is for Those Who Hurt Me   Chapter 10

    Leta did not flinch. Instead, she endured the slap, her cheek flushing red. "To put it plainly, you were the one who chose to cheat on me and betray me. When we got married, you declared that I would be the only love of your life. "You said that you will be there to protect me moving forward, as I had suffered too much at the orphanage. But you were the one who brought about all the suffering that followed. "Leta, the Harvey who has blind faith in you no longer exists. Do not come here ever again. If you do, I will call the cops on you." I had never seen such despair in Leta's eyes as she looked at me. Tears pooled in her eyes as a memory seemed to cross her mind. "Harvey Groff is Leta Quinlan's greatest love. I was wrong. I forgot what Harvey once said to me." With that, Leta left. I figured that I would never see her again. My parents arrived at noon the next day, though I should probably refer to them as "Mr. and Mrs. Groff" now. My mother took me by the hand and cho

  • Their Love Is for Those Who Hurt Me   Chapter 9

    Harvey's POV:It took five years for Zachary to finally be chased out of the Groff family, just like the lie they told me in the first place. However, I would not spare him. Instead, I took him to court so that he would get the punishment he deserved. Without the Groff family's and the Barber family's support, the jewelry design studio—Zachary's greatest pride—was just a shell. In just a few days, it closed down. Fortunately, neither my parents nor Leta stood in the way. Everything from the filing of my case to evidence collection and arrest happened extremely smoothly. According to Charlie, Zachary even fell to his knees at the gates to the Groff and the Barber residences, begging for them to have pity on him. But despite his pleas that lasted from day to night, no one was willing to respond to him in any way. The filing of my case drew their attention.On the day the verdict was delivered, Charlie saw my haggard-looking parents the moment he returned to his office. Leta

    "You're back!" Zachary exclaimed. Leta shoved him away, only to see him grinning at her. But now, she felt extremely irked by the sight of his smile. "Why are you hanging around here? Take Anna back with you. You should very well know that this is not only what I want, but it's also what your parents want." The smile on Zachary's face stiffened instantly. He grabbed tightly onto Leta's sleeve, trying his best to explain. "Leta, I just let my impulses get the better of me back then. I really didn't mean it. Haven't I been living a quiet and decent life with Anna all these years?" Hearing that, Leta blew up instantly. She shoved Zachary's hand away, questioning furiously, "A quiet and decent life? "Zachary, did you think that I was completely unaware of the taunting messages you sent to Harvey? Or did you think that I wouldn't be able to find evidence of your drug purchase when I was drunk back then? "Are you sure you didn't mean to drug me, or was that something you had been

    "Who are you? An outsider like you has no right to point fingers at me when this is our family's affair!" Zachary responded. After living a comfortable life all these years, he had never heard any criticisms directed at him. Charlie's merciless reproach infuriated him. Nonetheless, Charlie paid no attention to Zachary at all. He simply presented the agreements that Harvey had already signed. "I'm here to hand something to Ms. Quinlan and Mr. Zachary. My client, Mr. Harvey, has signed a declaration to voluntarily renounce his assets. In other words, he is giving up on all assets belonging to the Groff family and the Barber family." As Leta stared blankly at the agreement that had the words "leave empty-handed", her eyes welled up silently. A single piece of paper had pushed her to tears. After that, Charlie started to walk away, but came to an abrupt halt. He looked back at all the faces that were now filled with regret. Finally, his voice carried a trace of emotion. "My pro

    Third-person POV: Leta's face fell instantly. She exclaimed in utter disbelief, "What do you mean? How can that possibly be?"Joseph and Roselynn turned pale gradually, too. They scurried toward the butler, surrounding him.In a stern voice, they said, "That's right. The drug dosages in his food and drink were high enough to knock him out till tomorrow morning. How could he have found out?" The butler couldn't explain it all in just a few words. So, he presented them with the gift box and blurted, "Mr. Harvey woke up out of nowhere after just a little while. He left after saying that something came up at the hospital, leaving just this gift box behind and telling me to open it after 10:00 pm. "When I opened it on the dot, I saw that it actually contains—"Before the butler could finish his sentence, Leta flipped the cover of the gift box over in exasperation, revealing a large family portrait. To their shock, it was the photo that hung in the living room of Zachary's villa.
