Chapter 2
As early as seven years ago, Thad been admitted into the National Security Section.
Sadly, before I could make a decision on this job, I had been sent back to Ouray by my real parents.
During the seven years in Duray, I wanted to escape every day, but I couldn’t.
A good beating awaited me whenever I attempted to run away.
During the seven years in Ouray, I saw through my so–called family.
After my foster dad died, I applied for the National Security Section again.
“In ten days, on December 10th, we will pick you up at 9 PM, sharp by car.”
I raised my hands and covered my ears to block out the sound from the living room.
Liu kily, I would leave this home where nobody loved me in ten days.
The next day arrived. When I left my rooms, I saw Grace in a white dress sitting on the soda like a princess.
My dad, mom, elder brother, and fiancé surrounded Grace
The butler brought a cake.
The crowd said at the same time, “Happy birthday, Grace.”
Grace had happiness in her eyes.
I was an onlooker of Grace’s happiness, though it was supposed to be mine.
The crowd gave Grace their respective presents to celebrate her birthday
Out of the corner of his eye, Adam spotted me when he was ready to hand over his gift.
“Amanda, come! Let’s celebrate Grace’s birthday.”
Adam beckoned me over, and he failed to notice the abrupt change in the expressions of the others.
Grace said affectionately, “Amanda, I’m sorry that I didn’t go pick you up yesterday. I was sick. You won’t be mad at me, will you?
Before I opened my mouth, Adam said, “She won’t because she has a big heart.”
Hearing this, Grace grabbed Adam’s hand and said, “Amanda, today is my birthday, so I wanna ask you for a gift. Could you please give me Adam?”
Shebluntly got her ambition exposed, and the others silently waited for my answer.
She was the most shameless person I had ever seen. After a sneer, I asked, “What if I say no?”
Grace’s expression froze in place.
Grace then expressed her grievance in French. “It was a joke, and I didn’t expect Amanda to take it seriously.”
My mom comforted Grace in French. “Darling, don’t be sad Amanda and I share nothing in common. She is stingy and pretentious.”
My dad joined the conversation with French. “Grace, don’t lower yourself to her level. You are the only daughter to Kerry and me.”
My elder brother spoke French too. “Grace, you are my only sister.”
What a loving family…
I played durnir and asked Adam, “Why did th
did they say?”
Adam’s expression froze before the answer came. “Grace was kidding, and they didn’t want you to misunderstand her.”
Misunderstood Grace………
I would be fooled if I didn’t speak French.
How could they be to my face without batting an eye?
My mom was a consician, and my dad had been somebody in the bu
business world during his youth

They enjoyed allar
Therefore, they looked down upon me and saw me as a barbarian from a remote village cut off from civilization even if I was their real daughter and a
victim of the kidnapping
All these years, all their love was reserved for Grace
Ten years ago, Grace was admitted to a less known college, and my parents held a party to celebrate it.
They didn’t know that I was admitted into the prestigious Olden University. Besides, I had taught myself French, Italian, and Spanish….
Never mind, because I would soon leave this terrible family and the hypocritical Adam.
“just arrived in Timon and intend to explore it. Enjoy yourselves, and see you around.”
After that, I limped away when my family and the servants looled at me with contempt
Behind me, my family continued to belittle me in French.
None of them remembered that day was my birthday too.
