* Chapter 8
Dad quickly had the bodyguard stop me.
I stared at him, and the bodyguard immediately lowered his head.
“Sorry, the boss has given orders, I can’t let you leave.”
I remember him, he was one of the ones who hit me the hardest in front of the hotel back then.
I suddenly laughed.
“I remember you, at the entrance of Glory Hotel. Do you remember when you once hit a little beggar? That little beggar was holding a bowl of instant food and had an egg in his hand.”
As soon as I said these words, the bodyguard was shocked, and my parents were also stunned on the spot.
“That day… that little beggar… was it you?”
The bodyguard turned pale with fear and started speaking in a trembling voice.
Dad hurriedly walked up to me, wearing a look of disbelief on his face. Dad hurriedly walked up to me
“Daughter, that day… was it you? Did you see us celebrating Fiona’s birthday?”
I sneered.
“Yes, Sir Logan, that day you held Fiona and pointed at me, saying I was a little beggar, pitiful and wretched like a dog.”
Dad, after listening, was shocked as if struck by lightning.
“I… I didn’t know it was you at that time, otherwise, I wouldn’t have said such things to my daughter.”
Mom quickly intervened after listening, “Your dad didn’t mean it, it was dark at that time, you… looked like that…”
I interrupted their argument.

dare to insult her!”
The bodyguard was beaten and begged for mercy repeatedly.
In the following days, my parents appeared every day, to see me, they even approached the research institute to propose sponsorship.
After the research institute found out about my situation, they refused.
“Sir Logan, we are well aware of your wealth, but Regina is the most promising researcher we have here. We cannot let such a talented individual feel disheartened for the sake of your money.”
Dad still wanted to fight, but he was ruthlessly driven out.
I was so annoyed that I decided to just stay at the research institute.
Over the past month, my parents came to know that I had made up my mind, so they had no choice
but to return home disappointed.
They knew that I would not forgive them, so they decided to use Layton as a breakthrough.
Layton, due to his mother’s previous actions, refused to help them no matter what.
One day, a year later, the butler of my parents called and said that my father had been diagnosed
with a terminal illness and his time was limited.
After Layton found out, he also advised me to go back to my home country for a visit.
I agreed to go back to my home country, not for them, but to celebrate Layton’s birthday
