Chapter 3

My father's family was fairly well - off.

Additionally, when they divorced back then, since my father cheated and committed domestic violence, my mother received a large sum of money from the divorce.

However, Granny withheld it all and gave it to Uncle Joe. Just a few days after my mother and I returned, she drove my mother out to work.

She made it sound nice that she would take care of me, her granddaughter, but in reality, she just wanted to drain the resources of our mother and daughter.

When I was a child, their family often beat me and humiliated me by saying that I was an unwanted bastard.

The clothes I wore were Sunny's hand - me - downs, and I wasn't even allowed to sit at the table to eat. I lived a life worse than their dog.

Granny shouted: "You've been eating and wearing from our family all these years. Didn't that cost money?"

I directly threatened: "Give it or not, just one word. Otherwise, we'll make this a huge issue and see who will be the one to lose face in the end!"

Uncle Joe and Aunt Mary fell silent. Finally, Sunny knelt down and cried: "Mom, Dad, this bitch wants money.

Just give it to them and let them go far away and never come to bother our family again! I like Brother Jim. I want to marry him!"

Uncle Joe and Aunt Mary gritted their teeth and agreed.

In the end, after calculating the total amount, they needed to give us two hundred thousand dollars.

Sunny wiped her tears and was overjoyed. Without waiting for the money to be handed over, she couldn't wait to go to the room to pack my luggage.

She packed the luggage of me and my mother and threw it all at the door.

Just then, Jim, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke: "The person I want to marry is Lina. I don't want to marry Sunny!" He was extremely embarrassed and also a bit scared.

He glanced at Sunny tentatively before saying -

"It was Sunny who deliberately seduced me and said that I didn't need to be responsible. She has no self - respect. Why should I be responsible for her?"
