Chapter 6 In the bathroom, I was like a fish on the chopping block, completely powerless to resist. Trembling uncontrollably, I had no strength left to fight back. [] Eventually, I was thrown back into the hotel lobby wearing only my thin undergarments. My body was drenched in blood, and though everyone present could see my pitiful state, no one dared to speak up, intimidated by Evelynn’s status. The room fell silent as all eyes fixed on me. [] “She’s in such a sorry state,” one of Evelynn’s friends whispered. I W 1418 Even though they hadn’t participated in the violence in the bathroom, they had stood by gleefully, recording everything.

It was clear she was anxiously awaiting the arrival of the mysterious “daughter.” [] “Don’t worry, Evelynn,” Lucy reassured her. “Today is your engagement banquet with Jack. Miss Torres will definitely show up. No matter what happens, Jack will take care of it.” [] Lucy shot me another venomous glare as she spoke. Evelynn nodded. “I can’t wait to meet my future stepdaughter.” She smirked. “And Jack mentioned that she’s bringing me a very valuable gift today. Something quite expensive.” I Lucy’s breath quickened, knowing anything from Jack’s daughter would be extraordinary. [] Meanwhile, I was nearing my limit, about to pass out from the relentless humiliation and pain. [] Suddenly, commotion erupted outside. “Jack is here!” Through my blurry vision, I saw my father, dressed in a sharp suit, striding confidently into the engagement hall. “Good son–in–law!” “Honey!” Evelynn’s family’s attention shifted entirely to him. They abandoned me, rushing toward Jack to greet him enthusiastically. [] After entering, Jack immediately asked Evelynn, “Evelynn, where’s my daughter? Did you meet her?” []…
Chapter 5 After doing all this, Lucy still wasn’t satisfied. [ She emptied the contents of my bag onto the floor. Among the scattered items were a wedding photo of my parents and an exquisite diamond ring. My mother passed away during childbirth, leaving behind only this photo, which I kept with me at all times. As I grew older, I began to resemble my mother in the picture more and more. [ As for the diamond ring, it was part of my parents‘ wedding bands. When I got older, my father had solemnly placed the ring in my hand, explaining that it was called Desert Star, a one–of–a–kind piece now worth millions. But its value wasn’t just monetary—it carried the memories and love of my parents, making it priceless to me. I had planned to gift this ring to my soon–to–be stepmother as a gesture of goodwill, hoping we could live harmoniously as a family of three. But never did I imagine things would take this turn. “Hmph!” Lucy sneered, holding up the ring. “Looks like Jack’s completely smitten with you.

You even secretly took wedding photos with Jack? Let me tell you, dreaming about taking my daughter’s place and marrying into the Torres family is laughable!” My heart shattered completely. [] Like mother, like daughter–I finally understood where Evelynn inherited her vile personality. [] When I first learned my father had a girlfriend, I was genuinely happy for him and had even urged him to take good care of her. Now, I deeply regretted it. If I’d known Evelynn and her family were like this, I would never have allowed Jack to get involved with my father. [] “Enough! Take her to the hospital before something bad happens,” someone muttered, unable to bear the sight anymore. [] A bystander stepped forward cautiously, trying to intervene. But Lucy’s reaction was swift and venomous. [] “What business is it of yours? Who gave you the right to meddle while I’m teaching this tramp a lesson?” she snapped.
