A fake poverty that my parent build for me novel

( 06 What ?! Mom gasped , her eyes widening in shock .

She snatched the letter from Dads hands , her face paling as she muttered , How did Little Feather find out about Celline ? It must have been Celline ! She must have gone to her ! That girl never listens ! Dad clenched his fists in frustration .

Without wasting another second , he stormed toward the villa , Mom following close behind .

As they walked , he frantically called and sent me messages on WeChat .

But I had already deleted every trace of contact with them .

They arrived at the villa , faces dark with urgency .

Mom ! Dad ! Celline beamed , running toward them .

Youre finally back ! I missed you so much ! She was just about to throw herself into Moms arms when , unexpectedly , she was pushed away .

She froze , confusion clouding her expression .

Mom ? Whats wrong ? Are you in a bad mood today ? Little Feather is gone , Mom said , her voice tight with frustration .

Huh ? She left without even saying goodbye ? How rude .

No wonder youre upset , Mom .

She shouldnt make you and Dad worry like this .

Celline pouted , then shrugged , trying to console Mom .

But honestly , if she wanted to leave , why not just let her? Keeping her around was just a burden anyway .

Nonsense ! Before Mom could speak , Dads sharp reprimand cut through the air like a whip .

Startled , Celline flinched and instinctively tried to seek comfort in Moms arms .

But once again , she was pushed away .

How many times have we told you to stay away from Little Naomi ? Why didnt you listen ?! Moms voice was filled with uncharacteristic anger , leaving Celline speechless .

But … but … but … Celline lowered her head slightly , forcing out a few tears as she spoke in an aggrieved tone .

It was Ms.

Naomi who came looking for her .

The bodyguards outside the door can testify to that .

She had always relied on this act to easily manipulate Mom and Dads emotions , assuming she could pull the same trick again .

However , this time, Dads usual indulgence vanished .

He let out a cold grunt .

Then why did Little Feather come looking for you ? Wasnt it because you went meddling where you shouldnt have ? But its not like I forced her to leave Celline muttarad etikhomly D .

A Fake Poverty that My Parent Build for Me But its not like I forced her to leave , Celline muttered stubbornly .

After all , she had always been the center of attention , rarely reprimanded .

Now, being scolded so suddenly left her feeling wronged and furious .

Hmph ! Dad scoffed and turned to the bodyguards outside .

You two , tell me the truth .

What exactly did she say to Little Naomi ? The two bodyguards exchanged nervous glances , hesitant to speak .

Dads patience snapped .

If you dare hide anything from me , Ill make sure you regret it ! Panic struck the bodyguards and they immediately scrambled to recount what had happened that day .

Upon hearing their words , Mom was so enraged that she trembled , her voice sharp with fury .

Celline ! Who gave you the right to speak about Naomi like that ?! She is my own flesh and blood ! How dare you insult her ! Without hesitation , Dad swung his hand and slapped Celline across the face .

The impact sent her sprawling to the floor .

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth and a glaring red handprint bloomed across her cheek .

Ive spoiled you too much ! Dad fumed , his chest rising and falling with anger .

His eyes burned with such intensity that , if looks could kill , Celline would have been reduced to nothing .

Did I … did I say anything wrong ? Celline clutched her cheek , eyes wide with disbelief .

Mom , Dad , werent those your own words ? I was just repeating them ! Last time , when we were watching a movie , you both said that Little Naomi- Slap ! Dads palm struck her again , this time even harder .

His voice thundered , Shut up ! Just shut up ! We may have said those things, but that doesnt mean you have the right to ! You are not qualified to judge her ! If it werent for you , how could Little Feather have left ?! Shes my daughter ! For the first time , tears welled up in Dads eyes .

How will she survive out there alone ? Mom sobbed , unable to hold back her tears .

The sight of her parents breaking down left Celline stunned .

She instinctively clung to Moms leg .

Mom ! Didnt you always say I was your favorite ? Your beloved daughter ? Naomi is gone , but I can uphold the family name .

Hardly anyone even knows about her existence .

Were a perfect family of three wouldnt that be enough ? Wouldnt that be great ? But the moment those words left her lips , Moms fury erupted .

She lifted her foot and kicked Celline away .

A family of three ? With you ?! Those words were just meant to appease a child ! You actually took them seriously ?! Ive seen how hard Naomi has worked , how much she has suffered all these years ! You are nowhere near her level ! Moms voice shook with rage , her words sharp as a knife .

W What ? Im inferior to Naomi ?! Cellines expression twisted in shock , her mind reeling from the blow .

She had always thought of herself as superior , leagues ahead of me .

But now , to be told she was lesser ? She couldnt accept it .

C If Im so inferior to Naomi , then why did you give me this luxurious life while keeping her suppressed , making her suffer at every turn ? Im obviously better than her ! Stronger than her ! You just refuse to admit it ! I get it now .

Even a dog develops feelings for its owner .

She had completely lost control .
