My insanely wealthy parents always tell me that they came from a poor background. As their children, my siblings and I mustn't waste our lives away on fun and games. They set up a trial for me by requesting that I submit an application in advance for all expenses that are over 50 cents. On the day I'm supposed to take my SATs, it's raining heavily outside. Since my exam venue is located 18 miles away from home, I decide to submit an application for a 100-dollar Uber fee. But my dad slaps me in return. "We used to scale over mountains just to get to school back in the day! Don't think you get to enjoy the perks of transportation just because we have money!" After that, he empties my pockets before kicking me out of the house. I end up all sprawled on the muddy ground while feeling raindrops pelting on me relentlessly. When I finally reach the exam venue on foot, I notice the news being played on the huge screen across the street. It turns out that my parents and William Gentry, my older brother, have spent ten million dollars on a popular band to celebrate my adopted sister, Selene Gentry, earning a passing grade on her math test. Apparently, passing her math test is her trial.

Selene was surrounded by leaking gas canisters on all sides."Dad, Mom, Aster, you finally came! I've already sent William down. Now let's go join him, okay? And don't even think about having the police shoot me. If there's a gunshot in this house now, the whole place will blow up. Try it if you don't mind dying early."Mrs. Gentry was paralyzed with fear, practically collapsing into Mr. Gentry's arms.Following the police's instructions, I began to reason with her."Selene, didn't you say you wanted us to attend the wedding? Why are you talking about sending us to hell now?"Selene sneered coldly. "Because I hate you all! I hate you for raising me yet never loving me! I hate you all for taking me in and then bringing your biological child back! Isn't that reason enough?"I replied, "When I first returned, your standard of living was always better than mine. Couldn't you sense how much they favored you? I don't even hate them anymore, so what reason do you have to hold onto that

Selene went as far as twisting the truth, repeatedly playing the video of Mr. Gentry slapping her on the day that Ms. Decker exposed her, while accusing the Gentry family of years of abuse.As a result, the Gentry family's company stock plummeted within days, wiping out hundreds of billions of dollars in value. The once-top-tier tycoon's enterprise had fallen from grace overnight, reduced to a third-rate company.To avoid further escalation, the Gentry family had no choice but to agree to William and Selene's engagement. But they immediately arranged for a hospital to terminate her pregnancy, reportedly without anesthesia.If it were anyone else hearing about such an ending, they might have felt vindicated. But I no longer had any interest in the Gentry family's affairs.Throughout the entire welcome party, I deliberately kept my distance from them. Only after the event ended did the Gentry family follow me all the way to the parking lot.Mr. Gentry pleaded, "Asty, I'm begging you

"When a person is starving, and you offer them food, they'll be deeply grateful. But once that person is no longer hungry, even the finest delicacies will just seem greasy and unappealing," I explained over the phone.Ms. Decker didn't push further. Instead, she reminded me to eat and sleep on time and to never neglect my health, no matter how busy I got with schoolwork.After the video call ended, a wire transfer from Ms. Decker appeared in my bank account. She also sent a message that read, "Even with a scholarship, it might not cover everything. Living abroad is expensive, so use this to treat yourself to some nice food."The tears I had held back even in the detention room finally broke free in that moment. It turned out there really were people in this world who loved me.Four years later, I graduated at the top of my class.During those four years, my outstanding academic performance and unique insights caught the attention of a highly respected Gaian professor at the colleg

Selene put on a brave face and forced a smile for Mom and Dad."Dad, Mom, go ahead and take Aster to the airport. I'll be fine on my own," she said, emphasizing the last three words.Even if Mom and Dad left, William could still stay with her."Selene, don't say that. How can I feel at ease leaving you like this?" Mom, who had just been about to loop her arm through mine, abruptly changed direction and hurried over to Selene instead.Dad also walked quickly to her side, turning to me only to say, "Wait here for us. We're taking Selene to the hospital. We'll be back soon."With that, Dad picked Selene up in his arms and strode away without giving me another glance.But I could clearly make out Selene's smug expression as she nestled in the crook of Dad's arm.I never really expected Dad to actually drive me to the airport anyway.After they hurried off in their car, the Uber I had booked earlier arrived. I single-handedly carried my luggages into the car.At the airport, I smoo
Untamed Growth: I'm My Own Person Chapter 4
Mom and Dad told me to reflect on why I had spoken to them in such a harsh tone. Previously, I used to be terrified of being locked in here and making a mistake that would disappoint them. But I now understood that I was never the one at fault. It was just that they were used to holding power over
Untamed Growth: I'm My Own Person Chapter 3
Hearing this, Mom, Dad, and William all looked a little uncomfortable, each in their own way. Even Selene, who had been pretending to be pitiful, froze for a moment.They were probably wondering why, after all her provocation on the day of the SATs, I still wasn't causing a scene or making a fuss.

I never imagined that Mom would wipe her tears and call me wasteful, while Dad took out his belt and beat me until I was covered in bruises. He even yelled that I was nothing but a parasite leeching off them.After that, William grabbed me by the collar and shoved me straight out the door. As I tum

When the bell signaling the start of the exam rang, I turned and walked away from the examination hall. After tearing up my admission ticket, I found a sheltered spot out of the wind and called my homeroom teacher, Lori Decker."Ms. Decker, I've decided to accept the overseas study opportunity the
