Chapter 6
The nanny was frightened by my sharp tone and she stood there in a daze, not daring to speak again.
I went straight upstairs.
The door of my sister‘ s bedroom was open and the voices of her and my mother came clearly.
“Ivory, you won’t fall in love with that boy Kevin, will you?”
“How is that possible? I’m going to marry into a wealthy family in the future, how could I fall in love with him? Although he has a good education and looks good, his family background is too ordinary and he is not worthy of me at all.”
“But have you been too close recently? Don’t forget that she is your future brother–in–law!”
My sister sneered, “Don’t worry, I know

what’s going on! He treats me well, that’s his own will, I didn’t force him. Besides, even if he becomes my brother–in- law, he will always love me. What’s wrong with having one more person love me?”
“You‘ re right!”
Just then, my cell phone rang suddenly.
My mother and sister were shocked and
looked at me at the same time.
“Em… Emily… When did you come back? Why did you eavesdrop on us?”
“I didn‘ t eavesdrop, who told you to talk without closing the door?”
After I finished speaking, I turned around and went up to the attic calmly.
After a while, my mother followed me.
“It doesn’t matter if you heard what Ivory and I said! It wasn‘ t her intention to fall in love with Kevin. We didn’t know that he had Ivory in his heart until later. We didn’t tell him because we were afraid

of hurting you.”
“Afraid of hurting me? Then thank you!”
This was the funniest joke I had ever heard.
They had been hurting me every day for so many years. Couldn’t they feel it?
I was too lazy to expose it. I packed my things and walked out, but I was stopped by my sister at the door.
“You hurt me and you want to just turn the page without mentioning anything?”
“What do you want?”
“Either give up your parents‘ inheritance rights or kneel down and apologize to me!”
She knew that I had a strong self–esteem
and would not kneel down to her.
It was a choice between two options.
In fact, there was only one choice.
Maybe my parents‘ property was very

important to her, but I didn’t care at all.
I didn’t want to stay in this family for a minute longer. The sooner I left, the sooner I would be free.
I said calmly, “I choose the first one!”
After that, I found a pen and paper, wrote a letter of guarantee to give up my
inheritance rights and threw it in front of her. Even my mother couldn’t stand it.
“Ivory, you are sisters, there is no need to do this, right?”
“Mom, you and Dad both said she is an ungrateful person, do you still expect her to take care of you in your old age? If you hesitate, you will be in trouble. If she suddenly goes to the company to seize power one day, you and Dad may not be able to match such a scheming woman. I call it taking precautions before it happens, do you understand?”
My mother was speechless.

I said coldly, “From now on, I have nothing to do with this family! I will not look for you again and you don’t bother me. We have our own way!”
After that, I walked past them without looking at them.
This time, they didn’t stop me again.
On the day of departure, I only told a few good friends that I was leaving.
But I overlooked one thing, one of them was a common friend of Kevin and me.
She posted an Instagram story about my going abroad, which was seen by Kevin.
He rushed to the airport.
“Emily, have you had enough of the trouble?”
He still thought I was making trouble and looked sarcastic.
The three years I spent with him were really a joke.
