Stella’s sobs and pleas went unanswered. Her stepmother was unmoved, relentlessly insulting her, calling her filthy and worthless.
Then, the message from her father on her phone vanished.
She confronted him, asking why he'd sent her to the office with documents so late at night, all by herself. He flatly denied it and slapped her hard across the face. “You have no shame, and now you want to blame me for it? With an attitude like yours, what's the point of college? You'll just end up as a drain on society.”
That day, Stella’s tears flowed from dusk till dawn, and from dawn till the next sunset.
She suddenly longed for her mother. She wanted to tell her mother she’d been hurt, to hide in her mother's arms.
But when she finally mustered all her strength to find her, her mother didn't even ask if she was okay. She just pressed some money into Stella's hand and hurriedly sent her away.
With nowhere else to go, Stella trudged back to her father's house in disgrace. Her only hope was the university acceptance letter.
But when she got home, she found the letter torn to shreds by her stepsister, who even taunted her, admitting she had hired the thugs who had assaulted her. The stepsister swore she would never let Stella go to college, vowing to make her rot in the gutter forever.
Stella tried to fight back, but her stepsister had a video of the assault and threatened to post it on the university's online forum if she dared to enroll.
Then, at her stepmother's urging, her own father tried to marry her off to a sixty-year-old man who was offering a handsome sum of eighty-eight thousand dollars.
Her stepmother wanted to use the money to buy a fake diploma for her own daughter.
At that moment, something inside Stella finally died. If they were determined to ruin her life, then she would drag them all to hell with her.
After hearing Stella’s story, even the police officers working the case felt a pang of sympathy for the girl whose life had been so difficult.
The case caused a huge stir in society. Many people online argued that the father, stepmother, and stepsister had gotten what they deserved, and they hoped Stella would receive a lenient sentence.
