Susan dazedly stared at the man sitting opposite her, her cheeks trembling, "You're lying."Susan kept repeating herself like a machine. The officer got her out of the room immediately, and she covered her face and cried. She did not respond to Charles's and Derek's questions.I felt an indescribable bitterness in my heart.…After Samantha and Jenson were engaged, my life in the family got more difficult. To stop the gossip by others, they always took turns telling me to attend the wedding.However, I did not want to. Samantha stole my boyfriend. Did I have to force myself to smile just for her reputation?Once, Susan barged into my room. She opened my closet and threw all my clothes out."If you don't want to attend the wedding, then get out of here. I'll just assume that you don't exist in my family from now on."I was downright disappointed with my family. I took the money I had saved over the years and left overnight. That night, I met Samantha's admirer, my murderer, Simo
Derek stood up to protect Samantha, as he always did. After all, he was Samantha's protector.…On the night when Samantha returned from her birthday celebration, I had been locked in the basement for long hours. In the middle of the night, I was so hungry that I felt dizzy.I was looking for something to eat when I saw the unfinished birthday cake.I gulped. I pretended that it was my birthday cake and made a wish. After making my wish, I secretly cut a tiny piece of the cake so I could soothe my stomach.Samantha found out about it the next day.My parents were at work, and Derek was the only one at home. He stood in front of the teary Samantha and whispered to her to comfort her.Samantha said, "I don't want the cake anymore."Derek replied, "Sure."Derek suddenly threw the cake on the floor. "Eat it, then! Don't you like to steal food?" He then pressed my head against the small slice of cake left.I cried loudly, but he was merciless.He coaxed Samantha as he walked away
That was the first time I brought Jenson back home.When Susan saw Jenson for the first time, she asked seriously, "What do you like about Celine?"Charles shook his head too and sighed. "We feel so sorry for you. You don't know what kind of person Celine is."I was very scared. I did not know what they would say, but I knew it would not be something good. As expected, they started to complain about my deeds from the moment I was taken home.Supposedly, I deliberately ruined Samantha's gift, provoked the relationship between Samantha and the family, and even deliberately swapped out the medicine for Samantha's heart disease.In the end, Charles was so angry that he slammed the table. "That's a homicide!"Their self-judgment convicted me of all the guilty actions. Even Jenson, who I thought loved me, acted the same.He frowned. His eyes were filled with disbelief and anger. "How could you do those things?"From the beginning to the end, no one asked me the truth of the matter. T
The living room fell dead silent.Charles and Derek looked at each other and then said, "So what?"Susan was stunned as she did not expect that would be their reply. "So what, you? My biological daughter, your biological sister, was harmed by Samantha!" she said in disbelief. "Isn't that clear enough?!"Charles grabbed Susan's hand and said, "Celine is dead now. Please don't make trouble at this critical moment."Charles's company was about to go public, and that period was very critical to him and the company. If the matter was exposed, the stock price would decrease significantly. As such, Charles would never let the matter go out of hand."I know Celine's death is unjust, but let's deal with it after this period is over, alright?"he coaxed Susan. However, it was obvious that his patience had reached the limit."You knew about it a long time ago, didn't you?"How would Susan not understand what their reaction meant? Her tears streamed down her face.I never recalled Susan cr
The moment after I died, my soul floated to Samantha Jones's wedding.Samantha was holding her mother's hand in the dressing room. Her eyes were all red."Mother, is Celine really not going to come? Do you think she still hates me for being together with Jenson?"My mother, Susan, wiped away her tears with a distressed look. "How could it be? It's obvious she was narrow-minded."My father, Charles, who always kept a serious face in front of me, put down his pride and comforted Samantha softly, "Don't cry, my dear. It's your big day today, it's not worth crying for her."My brother, Derek, spoke softly, "You didn't steal Jenson from her. She was the one who couldn't keep a man's heart."Everyone surrounded Samantha, comforting her softly. However, their expressions changed once they left the dressing room."I've raised this ungrateful person for more than a decade, but it's all in vain. How can she just run away from home?"Susan gritted her teeth as Derek agreed, saying, "That'
They hated me for making Samantha's wedding imperfect. As such, Susan started calling me repeatedly after the wedding.She cursed, "Celine, if you dare to come back, I will beat you to death."Still, no one answered the call.Samantha held Susan's hand in distress. "Mother, you don't have to call her. Celine must still be angry with me."Susan hugged Samantha when she saw how pitiful she looked. "My poor Samantha, you had to endure such injustice."I noticed Samantha's lips raised into a small smirk as she hugged Susan. This was her, the real her. She would appear to be the weaker party, blaming all the mistakes on me.…I still remember when I was first brought back to the family, they did not hate me so much. Susan would hold my hand, look at me with love and care, and ask me if I was hungry and if I wanted any food. Charles, who was beside Susan, spoke with tears, "This is your home from now on."Derek would also put his arm around my shoulders and say that we would be the s
"You're in cahoots with Celine, right? You act like you've killed her, and she acts like she's dead."It doesn't work, I'll tell you that. Tell Celine that if she doesn't come back now, don't even think about coming back!"My parents, upon hearing all this, responded, "How despicable is she, using all these dirty tricks to gain attention over Samantha?!"A trace of bitterness rose in my heart when I watched my family continue to insult me.'Mother, Father, I am dead! This isn't a lie!'Derek looked really angry after he put down his phone as he gruffly said, "Father, I'll send someone to go look for her and teach her a lesson. I'll teach her who's boss."Charles agreed as he waved his hand.Susan leaned toward Charles. "Dear, was it a mistake for her to bring her back in the first place?"Charles sighed helplessly and patted Susan's shoulder. "How could we have known when we brought her in back then? This isn't our fault."'So the fault falls on me? That's right. In this famil
