On her wedding night, Rebecca Brown gets sent abroad by her new husband, Daniel Winston. On her return three years later, she's presented with a divorce agreement from her husband and a disownment agreement from her mother. Everyone is waiting to laugh at her, thinking she won't be able to survive living a poor life and will end up begging the Browns or shamelessly hound Daniel to take her back. However, it ends up with Daniel presenting himself pitifully before his ex-wife. He says, "Becca, when can we get remarried?"
View MoreUnfortunately, her happy days didn't last long.After the snow fell on that winter night, Penny turned 18. The Lowe family's game of raising her ended there.As Penny expected, all her bank accounts associated with the Lowes were once again frozen, and even more ruthlessly than before.Early in the morning, servants from the main building came and notified Penny that she was being asked to leave the Lowes' mansion.After a night of snowfall, the yard in front of the small building where she resided was covered with a thick layer of snow. Because the servants had made a trip over there, a winding path was trodden out.Perhaps feeling Penny had it worse than they did as servants those years, their attitude was still friendly. They weren't arrogantly throwing her things out and driving her away.On the contrary, they even worried for her.Carissa helped Penny pack her belongings as she said, "Ms. Lowe, it's been really cold recently. Mr. and Mrs. Lowe haven't woken up yet. Make sur
Penny indeed took Cecilia's suggestion and started a tutoring job to earn some money. Because of her reputation at school, the tutor fees being charged weren't low, either.At the start, Penny had to do some screening. After all, too many people wanted her as a tutor when the news spread.However, she didn't pin all her hopes on this matter.Although Penny's parents didn't treat her like their own, at least she never lacked material possessions because of them.As the Lowe family's daughter, her expenses on clothing and daily necessities were considerable. Sometimes, when she felt down, she would even spend money to vent her sadness.If how Penny spent her money was to be described, "lavish" would be an understatement.If it weren't for her exceptional academic performance, she would be no different from those spoiled kids in university.So, this little money wasn't enough.Fortunately, she had changed her mindset in time and didn't sink into despair just because her account wa
Of course, Cecilia wasn't thinking that far into the future at the moment.Her and Penny were both heavily burdened, after all. Just the academic tasks alone were enough for them to spend a lot of effort at their age, and with troubles at home piling up, they had no room to think about the future.Cecilia watched Penny enjoy her meal. She couldn't help but voice out her concern, "If your family cuts off your allowance, what will you do?"She and Scarlett, her grandmother, relied on each other, and even if they were short on money, they could apply for school grants. Cecilia could even work part-time during breaks to earn a living.But Penny's situation was different.Her family wasn't short of money, they had even donated a few buildings to the school. So, she definitely wouldn't qualify for subsidies.As for taking up a part-time job…Cecilia's eyes lit up as she suggested, "Penny, you're great at studying, why don't you become a tutor? You've always been a top student. "As l
What surprised Cecilia was that Penny had willingly accompanied her to her rundown home, out of concern for her injury. On top of that, Penny didn't complain at all about the state of her shabby house.Cecilia remembered vividly that her elementary school classmate had said she wanted to come to her house to play.At that time, she didn't know anything better. She thought that she had made a good friend at school, so she happily invited her over.She never expected that classmate to mock her.Although Cecilia was very young at that time, the words she heard stayed with her for a lifetime.That 'friend' said that Cecilia's home was like a rat hole. A dilapidated building where dirty rats lived.Clearly, Cecilia's grandmother, Scarlett, kept the house very clean. She had even arranged a bouquet of flowers to welcome the arrival of Cecilia's friend. The house wasn't rundown, it was just a bit small. Cecilia and Scarlett even had a tabby cat, specifically to drive away the mice in
Penny's departure from the beaten path began at this moment.Before the Lowe family's elders could criticize her, she would first assess whether her actions were wrong, and then choose an appropriate way to fight back.As expected, after she returned home without her wallet that night, her irate parents indeed sent someone to ask her to come back to the hall. Unfortunately, she had already left.She only learned about this the next day.The servant had been waiting downstairs in her loft since early morning. They casually mentioned Spencer calling for her the previous night and explained why they were there."Mrs. Lowe got up early to prepare breakfast for you. Mr. Lowe is also there. Please go to the dining room to enjoy breakfast with them."Penny found the situation quite amusing.In the past, when she was still begging for her parents' love, it was a luxury for Penny to even sit at the same table with them for a meal. Even then, she had to gauge their mood first.It was eve
"Is the injury on your face from your family?"Comment by Samantha Lee: abit awkward. suggestion: Did your face get injured because of your family striking you?Sam had lowered his head again, and his clear voice came from under his hood.The wind brushed against Penny's face gently, soothing the swollen redness from the beating.Comment by Samantha Lee: if someone beats ur face up, u'll get more than swollen redness hhhh. she got slapped ya. the bottom paragraph got mention that also (she wouldn't let her rotten parents slap her again)She subconsciously touched her cheek and said after hesitating, "Well, sort of."Sam chuckled. "What does that mean? It was a yes or no question."Penny fell silent for a few seconds before explaining, "I'm not sure whether they count as my family. After all, no family would beat their child to death."She shrugged indifferently, adding, "This is just a minor injury, so don't worry about it. You should go home soon."Penny remembered reading
After Penny determined that the young man didn't seem like someone with bad intentions, she asked, "Hey, are you okay?"While she checked on him, she kept her distance since she hadn't completely let her guard down. After all, it was late at night. She couldn't casually judge someone's character based on what they wore. However, the young man's appearance also made Penny feel a bit sorry for him. Of course, there would always be sympathetic people in the world like her. Even if their own lives weren't going well, they still liked to help others.Penny grew up in a loveless family. During the day, she saw someone similar to herself, which was Cecilia. Now, at night, she encountered a homeless teenager. She couldn't help but categorize him the same as Cecilia and herself.He was probably from another disagreeable family and got kicked out. Or maybe, he ran away on his own.Since Penny didn't receive a reply from the young man, she continued, "It's cold at night. You should find a p
Penny escaped from the Lowe's at night. She had left voluntarily, so technically she wasn't kicked out. Plus, she would have returned home at night again.Penny's room was situated differently from Spencer's. It wasn't on the second floor of the villa's backyard, but a separate building in the corner.Although Beatrice also had her own separate building, her living conditions were much better. There were many flowers and trees planted around the courtyard. It even had a small prayer altar.Penny had never been to the backyard, as she would be scolded if she got close. She was called a jinx, and that her approaching the altar would bring about bad luck. In fact, she found these ridiculous claims quite amusing. Compared to Beatrice's building, the area Penny lived in was extremely desolate.It was located next to a small pond near the villa and had nothing around it. In the summer, the weeds grew wild, and the housekeepers only came to tidy up when there were guests. Otherwise, i
Beatrice was livid, and Julia was equally enraged as well."Penny, do you even realize what you've just said?" Julia glared at Penny, her eyes betraying resentment and anger.Beatrice, clutching her chest, scolded, "This is madness. How could a young lady like you behave like this? No wonder your father reprimanded you! In fact, I think he's been too lenient, too gentle on you!"Penny stood with her hands behind her back, gripping her phone tightly.She had a plan. If she got hit again today, she'd call the police.Practice makes perfect, after all. Today, she helped Cecilia call the police in broad daylight, and tonight she'd be calling them for herself.There would always be someone to help her.Unfazed by Beatrice and Julia's words, Penny countered, "Is there something wrong with what I said? You called me a liability, but aren't you just insulting yourselves?"They were all women in this world, so why was she the only one labeled a liability?Aren't they liabilities too?
