Chapter 1

I listened to the entire conversation behind the door as tears streamed down my face.Fanny Duncan, my manager, persistently persuaded me over the phone. "If you take leave again at this critical moment, you'll lose your chance of being promoted. Will your family truly collapse without you?"I always thought that was the case, but I finally realized that it was not the case. I was trapped in my own dream for a long time."I'll be back to work tomorrow. Thank you for not giving up on me, Fanny," I replied cautiously.I then kicked the door open and walked in. I stared at my parents despite my reddened eyes.Mother's hands were shaking, trying to close the blue notebook."Celine! W-when did you arrive? I… was just telling your father how sensible you are. You're my dear sweetheart," she said, complimenting me skillfully to portray the fake image of her loving me.I sneered, "Oh, I've been here for a while, early enough to hear you saying you were going to leave with Belle, but I'l

Back then, Mother happily clapped and praised, "This is just right. Belle has these gambling debts to pay off. This man only needs someone to spend the night to repay the debts. You, Celine, came back just in time. You can't blame me for being cruel; it's just a coincidence."I felt powerless. I pressed the emergency alarm button with my weak hand.The man with a mouthful of yellow teeth pressed me on the bed. He pinched my neck and tore my clothes.I cried as I felt suffocated.The moment the police broke through the door, I felt sheer hopelessness when I saw the horror in my parents' eyes.From that day onward, my sister had a husband. Me? I was taken to the psychologist for treatment and forgot most of the things that happened. I only remembered that I wished for my parents to love me.Mother started to feel righteous after making sure I'd lost my memory. She no longer felt guilty for what she did.For example, when my sister wanted some pears, and there were two left. Both o

Chapter 3

My parents had been planning for me to prepare Belle’s wedding gift.I looked at my mother's text message.[I'm paying special attention to Belle as I've got nothing to worry about when it comes to you. I've loved you since you were little.]Love?The blue notebook crushed my heart as my heart roared with me, 'Recording my expenses to gain back the other daughter's wedding gift is what you call love?'…I smiled and stroked my pet chicken, Chester, when I got home."Chester, you're the one that loves me the most. Grandmother gave you to me, and you love me just like she did."Belle's text messages started flowing in at that moment.[Celine, how can you talk back to Mother and Father? They loved you so much! They bought you branded clothes when you were a child, too. All of our neighbors knew about that.]I called her back immediately, trying my best to suppress my anger as I said, "Don't you know those branded clothes I wore were all your hand-me-downs? Whose child would alwa

After working endlessly over a few nights, I got promoted.Mother's call came out of the blue, and her words were sugar-sweet. "Celine, why didn't you come visit? I miss your cooking. Come and visit me, you know well you're the only person I like."After hurting me so badly, Mother tried to mend my broken heart.I sneered, "But Mother, I've taken care of you for such a long time. Didn't Belle come to take care of you?""What are you talking about? Isn't Belle going to get married soon? Parents will always wish their children well," she whispered softly, as if that were some intimate conversation between mother and daughter.I did not care about it."Mother, I have to earn a living too. I have to go to work. Belle, on the other hand, isn't working as she's getting married soon, so it's just right that she's there to take care of you, who loves her so much."Bang! The sound of a loud kicking in the cabinet was heard.I smirked."Celine, that is your mother. You owe her! We raise

Chapter 5

Same old story all over again. I was always blamed for being calculative and got compared to Belle. It was as if I was completely wrong to be calculative with her.'Am I not your child too?'I picked up a knife in a daze and dashed toward Mother's house.The moment I opened the door, I saw Father holding a piece of meat, feeding it to Belle, while Mother was wiping her sweat at the side. My ex-boyfriend, Simon Gray, was beside her with a doting look on his face.I stared at the meat in the boiling pot miserably. It seemed I was the only one affected by this."You killed Chester and enjoyed eating the meat?" I wiped my sweat as I waved the knife aimlessly."It's just a chicken, you goon! What's wrong with just pampering your sister a little?" My mother stepped forward and took away my knife, her expression ugly. Frankly, she looked as wicked as when she drugged me that one fateful day.Simon tried to persuade me, too. "That's right, it's just a chicken. How much compensation do y

'Whose chicken do you think you're eating?'Belle screeched, her eyes widening as she did. Then, her breathing became rapid.My mother subconsciously shook off my arm and went forward to check on Belle in panic. "Oh my! Send Belle to the hospital now!"As Mother walked past me, she slapped me and scolded, "You wicked rascal! You know your sister is allergic to chicken meat? How could you let her eat it even though you knew about it?!"Mother was stunned for a moment after saying that. She felt something was wrong, but she quickly came back to her senses and pointed at my nose, adding, "I'll never forgive you if something happens to Belle."After everyone left, I shakily video-called a friend.My best friend comforted me through the call, worried for me. She held Chester with both hands to show its face to me. "Look, Chester is fine. He's eating and sleeping just well. Are your parents alright?"I nodded and finally smiled. "Of course they are. The micro surveillance camera recor

"What's wrong with her, doctor? Will it delay the bone marrow donation?"It felt like a bullet was shot straight into my heart. I lost hope and felt immensely disappointed.When I woke up next, Mother was standing in front of my bed with red-rimmed eyes. "Why didn't you tell me that you were sick, Celine? I'm your mother."She burst into tears. She was sobbing, and her shoulders were trembling.However, the words she said continued to echo in my mind. 'Will it delay the bone marrow donation?' she had said.I pushed her away helplessly. "Mother, I have cancer, and I won't be able to donate bone marrow. Why don't you get Belle to do it?""No, Belle is pregnant. A pregnant woman cannot donate bone marrow. It'll harm the baby!" she wailed subconsciously.The next second, she came over, held my hand, and bawled, "Celine, I know you are strong. Anyway, you won't die immediately! Can you donate your bone marrow first?"I almost thought I had misheard her words."What did you say? You

Chapter 8

I hid in the dark in Grandmother's old house, watching my mother talking freely in Belle's live broadcast."Yes. I've always favored Celine since they were little. I know now how good Belle is.""That's right. My dear fans and family, let's come together and drink this slimming tea!"…Their live broadcast was very successful, and they earned a considerable profit from the sales as well.For a while, everyone felt sorry for Belle.I watched coldly as all of my information was revealed. Mother took advantage of me to get famous.I knew she knew me the best. She trained me to be as obedient as a dog since I was little, and she had kept a perfect leash on me to control me.I could not hide all of my emotions and thoughts in front of her. She always managed to take advantage of my compassion and heartache.She put me in the lowest position in the family.Once, when I was still a child, her phone broke. She blamed it on me and begged me with teary eyes to admit it was my fault. W

Chapter 9

Belle, on the other hand, was enjoying her happy life.That completely rebutted what Belle claimed on the live broadcast, that I was vicious and my mother favored me over her. Sarah even released a surveillance video of Belle eating the pet chicken, as well as the story of using a disgusting man to plot against me.My misfortune was visible to everyone.I then posted, [What I hate most is that blue notebook for expenses… but I never thought I didn't even deserve to have that. It never even existed. That notebook was only for making up false expenses, to prepare for Belle's wedding.]The reaction on social media overturned; everyone condemned them both instead.[Goodness, the one that benefited claimed to be the one not being favored. That explains why I felt things were off.][Yeah, I've always felt that the mother seemed to only love Belle, but I didn't expect it to be true.][It's disgusting!]Belle and Mother were taken away during their live broadcast.With handcuffs at ha

Chapter 10

"You? You're my daughter? Then Belle..."Father broke down, his expression darkening with deep regret.I continued, "Yes, you've been hurting your biological daughter because of Belle..."He broke down. He shakily reached out to hug me, but I sidestepped him."I didn't know! I really didn't know about this…"I sneered after he left. It turned out that my life was just a joke.Mother loved my uncle but married Father instead. Father, on the other hand, thought he knew the truth. He thought Grandmother had always favored my uncle and aunt.He thought I was the child of Mother and my uncle, so he made things difficult for me and loved Belle.Who could have foreseen my life would be a joke from the start? I was actually his biological daughter.After Mother received her sentence, she demanded to see me, and I went.As she stared back at me, I noticed her disheveled hair, as well as her dark, sunken eyes. In short, she looked like a wraith.I smiled. "Are you going to ask me abou
