——Hahaha, I succeeded! They loathe you, they despise you. No matter how good you are, they’ll never like you again, hahahaha!
"..."
Sunny’s crazed laughter echoed throughout the hospital room.
All at once, the strength drained from Sunny’s body. She lay sprawled on the floor like a dead weight, her face pale and her gaze vacant.
Disbelief washed over Autumn Linton’s and Charles Reed’s faces. They both turned to Sunny, searching for an answer, but the sight of her deathly pale expression left them speechless.
They recalled her earlier pleas and resistance, her stiffness and remorse, and realized this was the reason for it all.
"Revenge?"
Autumn Linton murmured that one word. She sank to the floor, her mind flashing back to the more than ten years she had favored Sunny.
Because she favored Sunny, she had neglected Chloe time and again, causing her to suffer immensely.
The old house in the garden had even become the place where they would lock Chloe up as punishment.
’So all of this... was it because Sunny was turning us against each other?’
Charles Reed was also stunned. To think he’d been played for a fool by a mere girl!
Seething with uncontrollable rage, he strode forward and slapped Sunny hard across the face.
"We took you in out of kindness, only to find we were raising an ungrateful wretch!"
Charles Reed’s face turned grim. "Impossible! She has thrown the Reed family into utter chaos. I will not have her in this family again. Since she’s so preoccupied with her parents, she can stop using the Reed name. She can go back to being a Su!"
Susan Bowman stared at him in disbelief. "You... How can you be so ungrateful?"
Charles retorted, "I have raised Sunny for over a decade. I gave her everything she ever wanted. Wasn’t that enough? Or would it only count as repaying the debt if we all died by her hand?"
"You..."
Susan was at a loss for words. She looked at Autumn anxiously. "Autumn, say something..."
Charles was exceptionally firm. "I call the shots in the Reed family now. She isn’t well and needs to recover. You should go."
He was bluntly kicking them out.
