A fake poverty that my parent build for me novel

C05 Celline couldnt help but laugh out loud .

Its not like Im some fair skinned beauty with a noble aura wherever I go , bringing honor to our parents .

The only reason I still acknowledge you is because I pity you .

If I abandoned you completely , my conscience might nag at me .

I remember Mom and Dad saying you were born with a face full of wrinkles .

And now , even after all these years , you havent grown into anything worthwhile .

They also said your emotional intelligence is pitifully low and that you have a weak personality .

Her words struck me like a slap across the face .

My body trembled and I instinctively took several steps back , nearly losing my balance .

She wasnt wrong .

I was plain looking thin , frail and easily lost in a crowd .

I never knew how to speak up for myself , never had the grace or charm that drew people in .

But I remembered what the professor once said : When life disappoints you , dont lose your composure .

Swallowing my tears , I forced myself to stay calm .

Fine , fine .

Since they love you so much , I wont fight for it .

I dont care about the position of the cherished daughter .

With that , I turned my head and walked away .

Behind me , Cellines triumphant laughter rang out, but I refus let it affect me .

A few days later , while my parents were away on a trip , I completed all the paperwork necessary to leave the country .

Before stepping out of the house for the last time , I left a farewell letter on the table .

That was the last act l performed as their daughter .

Half a month later .

Mom and Dad returned from their business trip , dressed in their usual casual clothes , pushing open the door with bright smiles .

A Fake Poverty that My Parent Build for Me No one pouring them a glass of water or massaging their shoulders after their travels .

Only a single letter lay quietly on the table .

Dad frowned as he picked it up and unfolded the paper .

[ By the time you read this letter , I will be far away .

Celline is beautiful and graceful , the perfect daughter to uphold your reputation .

You chose to favor her , to enrich her and I wont hold that against you .

But I refuse to let that define me .

I am going to chase my own dreams .

Dont miss me .

Dont look for me .

] I hadnt poured my grievances onto the page .

What was the point ? There had been more than enough pain already .

Dads face drained of color .

This isnt good ! Little Feather is gone ! She … she knows about Celline !
