THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 1219

So that was it.

So that's what this was all about.

She had thought her parents came to see her because they couldn't bear to lose her.

Hot tears streamed relentlessly from Elsa's eyes. She turned her head to look at her parents. "Dad, Mom, did you ever love me? In your hearts, was it always just about Elton?"

Her words stunned both of her parents into silence.

Elsa's father was the first to recover. "Elsa, what are you talking about, child!" he said hastily. "You're our only daughter. How could we possibly not love you? If we didn't love you, would we even be here to see you?"

Her mother quickly followed up. "Elsa, think about it. Since you were little, was there anything you had, ate, or wore that was worse than your brother's? Your father and I are not the kind of people who favor sons over daughters!"

Her father interjected, "Not only do we not favor sons, we favor our daughter! Think about it, before you got married, wasn't your bedroom bigger than your brother's? Didn't your brother always let you eat first? We even bought you the most clothes! We always cooked your favorite dishes, and your brother just got to enjoy them along with you."

The words of her parents brought back a flood of memories. A sarcastic smile touched Elsa's lips. "Yes, in the small things, you never favored him. In fact, you acted like you loved me very, very much."

"But what was the reality? I lived in the best bedroom, but the deed to the house was in my brother's name!"

"You cooked my favorite dishes, but you secretly slipped my brother extra allowance."

"You talked about preparing a generous dowry for me, but in the end, you even took my wedding fund to pay for my brother's education abroad! You never thought about leaving me with a safety net. Do you have any idea that if you hadn't taken all of my wedding fund, I wouldn't have been unable to repay my loans and been backed into a corner by Xander? I never would have ended up on this path!"

Elsa used to believe her parents truly loved her.

Because growing up, they always seemed to treat her better than her brother.
