Chapter 7
A day passed, and the Logan family came out of the detention center, eagerly awaiting a response from the police.
But after the police said a few words, the blood drained from the faces of Sir Logan and Madam
Logan.
“Two of you, after a day of rescue, we finally managed to save your daughter Regina. However, she doesn’t want to see you now.”
At first, my mother refused to believe it, desperately calling me until she heard the cold busy tone,
and then her face turned ashen.
“Daughter, why didn’t you answer the phone?”
When my parents were questioning the police about my whereabouts, I had already booked a plane ticket with reward money and was preparing to study abroad.
In this kidnapping incident, Fiona exchanged her life for ransom. When the kidnappers were planning to dispose of me, I quickly came up with a plan and voluntarily suggested going to Freiria.
The robber thought to himself that killing me would not only waste bullets but also bring the responsibility of murder. On the other hand, if he sold me, he could make some money. Therefore,
he decided to leave me behind.
As for the blood, it was purely coincidental.
A stray dog rushed into an abandoned construction site while foraging and bit a criminal, who was
then forced to shoot.
On the way to Freiria, I took advantage of their lack of vigilance and stole their confiscated phones to send a distress message.
The police also arrested the robber and recovered the ransom because of this clue.
As a result, I received a commendation and obtained a substantial amount of bonus.
I boarded the plane with a heavy heart, holding my plane ticket.
In the past, I had been longing to study abroad, simply intending to acquire knowledge and skills and then return to my home country to provide a better life for my parents.
But this time, I did it only for myself.
In that shabby and impoverished home, there was nothing worth clinging to.
hose wealthy parents from a prestigious family who only knew how to pretend to be poor are even less deserving of my reluctance.

The only thing I couldn’t bear to part with was my boyfriend, Layton.
Before going abroad, I called him to let him know that I was safe. I also told him that once I graduated and settled down in a foreign country, I would arrange for him to come and live with me.
After going abroad, because of my excellent grades before, I quickly joined a research group and wholeheartedly started my own research and development project.
Here, every one devoted themselves solely to scientific research, without any regard for the status, wealth, or poverty of each member.
Here, I met a lot of people, and my mentor in particular praised me greatly, making me feel a different kind of care.
I thought that if I went abroad, I could cut off contact with my parents, but I didn’t expect that they were resourceful and still managed to find me.
I had just come out of the research institute when several luxury cars appeared in front of me.
A group of bodyguards rushed down, escorting two figures walking towards me.
“My good daughter! Mom and Dad finally found you!”
I lifted my gaze and saw two people.
A well–dressed man in a suit, with shiny leather shoes, and a woman wearing a dress, adorned with pearls and radiance.
The pale complexion on their faces had long disappeared, and the bent back of my father and the self–conscious look of sadness on my mother’s face were no longer there.
They were an arrogant and powerful couple, who thought they were above everyone else.
When I saw this, there was no warmth in my heart, but rather a deep sense of humiliation.
I pretended not to see and left directly.
