"Oh... I got a dog recently, and it was making a lot of noise when you arrived, so I didn't bring you in to see it. The vet said it's still very wild and can't be around people. Once it's trained properly, I'll introduce it to you. If there's nothing else, let's go… I'll go with you to the hospital and help out."After a moment of silence, a look of resignation finally appeared on Lucas' face. "Thalia, how long are you going to keep pretending? I've given you many chances, but you've never spoken a word of truth!"Thalia's eyes betrayed her panic as she took two steps back, her smile stiffening. "What are you talking about? I don't understand. Lucas, you must be extremely exhausted to be speaking nonsense. I haven't done anything to upset you, nor did I lie. If you don't believe me, then there's nothing more I can say.""This again. Don't you have anything else besides these worn-out lines?" Lucas' expression turned cold. He walked past Thalia and headed straight for the door.She

"Dad, please stop nagging Thalia. She's been working really hard. Her grades have improved by five places this time. If she keeps up this effort, she might still be able to get into a top university."Claudia always cherished her sister's achievements, but this time, she unwittingly provoked Thalia.Thalia slammed her bowl onto the table. "Enough! Stop it! Are you mocking me? Do you think I haven't been scolded enough by Dad?"Claudia, taken aback, set down her utensils. "Thalia, I didn't mean to… Why do you think of me like this?"Their father's expression turned serious. "Thalia, apologize to your sister right now. She's only thinking of your best interests. She knows your grades better than you do. Do you realize how hurtful your words are to her? Don't you care if she gets upset?"Thalia's face became tear-streaked. "Dad, you're worried about her getting hurt, but have you ever thought about how I feel? Don't you care about hurting my feelings when you say things like that? Ev

Indeed, whenever Thalia wanted to do something, Henry and Claudia never supported her. In their eyes, she was just a stubborn person. The more Henry and Claudia tried to stop her, the farther Thalia ran away.She no longer wanted to stay in this family. She truly wished she had followed her mother and left this world with her so she would not have to endure these kinds of humiliation. Thalia had thought many times that her life would always be like this—living in comparison with Claudia, always inferior, gradually aging.However, everything changed after she met Lucas. Perhaps that chance encounter had left no trace in Lucas' memory, but in her world, it caused earth-shattering changes. She never thought she would fall for a boy she barely knew.After choosing to stay at the dormitory, Thalia's grades did not improve. Instead, she spent her days with troublemakers at school, which led her to neglect her studies. Ironically, she felt much better than before. After all, no matter how

"Why say such hurtful things when Thalia is already vulnerable and sensitive? Besides, she doesn't really think it's your fault. She's just upset," Claudia reasoned. "Even I, her sister, don't hold it against her. You're our father, so you should be even more understanding."Henry looked at his sensible, understanding elder daughter and patted her hand. "It's all my fault. I not only failed to raise her properly, but she also caused trouble for you. I've made up my mind this time. Don't try to persuade me anymore. It's because we indulged her too much that she became so stubborn and caused all these troubles. We have to let her face some hardships; only then would she know how lucky she was in the past.""Are you not worried, Dad? Thalia is a girl, and she'll go to her friends. You said so yourself that those delinquents are not to be trusted. What if they take Thalia to some sketchy place? Dad, I can see you're not feeling, so you should rest at home. I'll ask my friends to go with

Lucas was just waiting for his driver and happened to see Thalia, whom he had mistaken for Claudia, who was in the same class as him.He saw her standing alone and crying pitifully, so he thought of giving her the handkerchief. He had a good impression of Claudia, who was diligent and ambitious, and it had been a while since he had such patience."You have to work hard if you want to be excellent. But if you don't have the capability or don't want to, then it's okay too. You shouldn't care so much and just live your life for yourself. No need to worry too much about what the others are thinking.""Yeah, you're right. I should just live life for myself," muttered Thalia dazedly.At that moment, the driver pulled up nearby, and Lucas nodded briefly at her. "I'm off now. You should head home too."Thalia watched Lucas leave with reluctance. At that moment, Lucas himself had no idea how much of an impact his moment of kindness would have on her life.Thalia's heart raced wildly as he
