Chapter 3
"From childhood to adulthood, I have been following you around to clean up the mess. I either bullied my classmates or snatched their homework. In the end, I even cheated in the exam. You have brought shame to my Rossi Family!"
"I'm telling you one last time, either you go on a blind date and get married during the New Year, or you get out of this house!"
It was just a test of acting, but I didn't expect to trick my mother into telling the truth.
My heart instantly sank and I looked at her in disbelief.
What she said was true, but those dirty things were all done by Isabella and then framed on me.
She was afraid that her parents would blame her and that there would be a stain on her glorious academic record.
So, I, who was one year younger than her but in the same class as her, had to take the blame for her countless times.
Tears suddenly rolled down my cheeks. I looked at my mother and spoke slowly:
"Mom, in your eyes, am I such a useless person?"
"If you don't like me so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place?"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been reincarnated into your belly, and everyone would be better off!"
Snap——
A heavier slap instantly knocked me unconscious.
My mother looked at me breathlessly.
"Is this how you talk to your mother? I raised you for twenty-five years with good intentions, and in the end I raised an enemy, right?"
"What's wrong with me scolding you? I'm your mother and you're my daughter, why shouldn't I go out and scold others? If you were someone else's child, you would have been married off in exchange for a dowry!"
"If I didn't feel sorry for you, do you think I could have tolerated you until today? Sophia, I tell you the truth, if I wasn't your mother, I wouldn't be able to tolerate you for a single day! Apart from me, there is no one else in the world who can accept your temper!"
Her words were so powerful that every one of them felt like a sharp knife stabbing my heart.
I was in so much pain that I was bleeding. I wanted to blurt out that question several times.
In my previous life, I was killed by Isabella, and she was the first one to find my body.
But what he wanted was not to seek justice for me.
But to help Isabella cover up the crime.
She injected alcohol into my stomach and faked an accident where I was drunk and my body was picked up by a homeless person.
In court, she gave false testimony on Isabella's behalf to create her alibi.
After I was reborn, I wanted to ask her the reason countless times.
But now, those questions suddenly have answers.
Hot tears stung my cheeks.
I nodded.
"Okay, I'll leave, as you wish."
After saying that, I turned around and wanted to go back to pack my luggage.
The next second, my father appeared in front of me with his hands spread out.
"Where's the money?"
"What money?"
"I've been supporting you for 25 years! Why the hell are you pretending to be so stupid?"
My father spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at my feet, and the thick smoke made it impossible for me to open my eyes.
"Don't think you'll be alright if you leave. As long as I don't get my money back, don't even think about leaving this house!"
I didn't expect that when I wanted to break up with them, the first thing they did was not reflect on themselves or show concern for me.
Instead, he asked me for child support.
The beating heart suddenly froze.
"How much do you want?"
The voice was so cold that even I felt unfamiliar with it.
My father held up five fingers.
"Five hundred thousand? I don't have it now, but I can write you an IOU. As long as I earn it, I will pay you back."
When I tried to walk around him and leave, my father sneered.
"Five hundred thousand? You're just giving alms to beggars!"
“5 million dollars!”
I was so angry that I refuted it on the spot.
"Where would I get 5 million dollars? Do you want me to steal or rob? Like Isabella? I have principles and I understand the law. I can't be so shameless!"
Chapter 4
The next second, my father took off his shoes and hit me hard in the face with the soles of his shoes.
"You are so rebellious. How dare you talk to your father like that? Do you still have any rules?"
"If you don't have 5 million dollars today, don't even think about leaving!"
"I've already found a good in-law for you. The bride price is 5 million dollars. If you can't come up with the money, you can just sell your body!"
Isabella was leisurely eating watermelon and pretending to be surprised.
"5 million dollars? Is that the guy who killed ten wives?"
"Dad, did you really get the deal? You're amazing, you're my idol!"
My father didn't respond to her, but just hit me harder and harder.
I fell heavily to the ground and blood came out of my forehead.
The ashes from the soles of my shoes fell on my head again and again.
I cried and begged my mother for help.
But she looked at me coldly and turned into the kitchen.
When he came out, he had a plate of peeled lychees in his hands.
"Isabella, you've worked hard today. Eat more. These are all your favorites. Mom peeled them by hand. They are very clean. How about you try some?"
My heart sank completely.
Tears came out with laughter.
"Okay, isn't it just 5 million dollars? I'll write you an IOU and pay you back."
"But the premise is that I want to sever ties with you!"
Hearing this, Isabella, who was still lying down, immediately laughed out loud.
"Five million dollars? Do you know how much that is? With your monthly salary of two thousand dollars? It's a joke!"
"Isabella Sophia, why don't you kneel down and beg me now? When I marry Mr. Kensington, I can give you 20,000 to use as a makeshift, so that you won't be so poor that you can't even afford to eat after you leave home!"
I stood up tremblingly, my voice extremely cold.
"You don't need to worry about me. You should worry about yourself instead!"
"If Mr. Kensington finds out about this, you and all of you will be in danger!"
After saying that, I dragged my suitcase and prepared to leave.
Isabella suddenly grabbed me with a fierce look in her eyes.
"No, you said before that you would stay at home and refuse to leave no matter what. Why are you suddenly willing to leave now?"
"You don't want to go to the Kensington Family to complain!"
My parents were originally feeling lucky to get rid of me, a burden.
Upon hearing this, the two of them rushed to me and questioned me.
"Sophia, just take a step outside and see!"
"Don't even think about leaving until you, Isabella, marry Mr. Kensington!"
I was so angry that I took out my cell phone to call the police.
The next second, the phone was snatched away by my father and smashed into pieces.
"If you dare to call the police, I will teach you what filial piety is right now!"
Isabella took the opportunity to point at the suitcase and said:
"Dad, does she have so many things? Did she steal money from home? You have to keep an eye on her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the suitcase was kicked over by his father, and the clothes inside were scattered all over the floor.
While he was busy searching inside, Isabella went into the bedroom and started working on her fertilized egg experiment.
Half an hour later, Dad threw the clothes on the ground.
"I thought there was something valuable, but it's all garbage. You still want to take it away? I wouldn't even want it for free!"
"Get out of here, get out of here, get out of your room. If you dare to come out, I'll break your legs!"
Mom just stood there and watched without saying a word.
I returned to my room silently and counted down their lives.
The next morning, Isabella stayed up all night and finally successfully injected her own egg cells.
Mom jumped up with joy.
"I heard that Mr. Kensington paid a lot of money to have a child. If the child is born successfully, Isabella, your good days will come!"
"Our Rossi Family is going to be very successful!"
Chapter 5
"I have accumulated so much virtue in my previous life. I am so grateful to have a smart daughter like you in this life!"
The three of them were preparing to have a big dinner outside to celebrate, but I was locked in the house as punishment.
While they were away, I took out my spare phone, turned it on, and several news items popped up immediately.
The first is the news of the theft in the Kensington Family Hospital laboratory, which has become a hot topic.
Alexander had no choice but to hold a press conference to announce that he was doing in vitro fertilization in private.
In order to protect his sweetheart, he only said that he had paid a large sum of money to have a child, and whoever could give birth to the blood of the Kensington Family would be his future wife of the Kensington Family.
As soon as the news came out, the whole Internet was in an uproar.
Families with daughters were busy queuing up downstairs at Kensington Family to register.
Kensington Family has completely dominated the hot searches.
"Is this true? Am I dreaming? The Kensington Family is so rich, how could Mr. Kensington be in need of a woman?"
"My daughter is only ten years old, and I want to have a sex change operation myself!"
"People without daughters are running around in circles at home. Is it too late to divorce my wife now?"
Comments are constantly updated.
Until Isabella's real-name account appeared.
"I'm sorry, I'm pregnant. The child is Mr. Kensington's. You can all go."
The accompanying picture is a report of a successful in vitro fertilization into the uterine cavity.
Netizens were completely furious.
"How come you're so fast? Do you have any inside information?"
"Watch your words, this is the future Mrs. Kensington!"
"Isabella, does your family still need a guard dog? What do you think of me? I eat little, understand human language, and I promise I can guard the house!"
When my parents came back, they both couldn't stop smiling.
As soon as I entered Riverside Apartments, I was blocked in the corridor by neighbors and questioned.
"Oh, your Isabella has made it big! Now the whole country knows that she is going to marry Mr. Kensington. When she gets married, don't forget us old neighbors and remember to buy us a drink!"
"I heard that the Kensington Family wants 200 billion as a dowry for their wives? Oh my God, I can't even dream of that. I have a cousin in my hometown who doesn't have a job. Can you help him out for the sake of our neighbors?"
My parents agreed immediately.
Isabella slipped back wearing a mask.
As soon as she entered the door, she carelessly threw the Chanel bag that she had bought with half a year's salary on the ground.
"See? Sophia, you're an idiot!"
"In this world, the brave die of overeating, while the timid die of starvation. Do you know why you are poor? Stupidity is the original sin!"
My parents came in right after me, neither of them even bothered to look at me.
I sneered:
"Isabella, you're talking so much. Has Mr. Kensington contacted you?"
"It's such a big thing, but the Kensington Family didn't express their opinions. Do they have any objections to the baby in your belly?"
Isabella's smile froze on her face.
My parents wanted to rush over and beat me.
I just pretended not to see it.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. This fertilized egg is of great significance to Mr. Kensington. Just because you are stupid doesn't mean Mr. Kensington is stupid too. If you continue like this, you won't even know how you will die in the future!"
The next second, Isabella's phone rang.
She screamed and covered her mouth.
"Ah! - Mr. Kensington contacted me!"
"Tell me to meet you tonight!"
She held the phone in front of me, the screen nearly poking into my eye sockets.
"What do you have to say now, you bitch?"
"You can't stand seeing me doing well, right? Sorry to disappoint you, but you, Isabella, were not born to be an ordinary person!"
"It's not too late for you to kneel down and admit your mistake. Otherwise, when I marry Mr. Kensington, I can kill you with just one word!"
After saying that, she remembered something and laughed exaggeratedly.
