The Ultimate Reborn Heiress

Chapter 123 Slap

That was why she always looked like she had a built–in beauty filter–fair skin with a healthy glow.

It was something her mother had traded for her.

Hazel knew Leona was connected to something called Treasure Hunter.

At first, she didn’t really understand what it was, only that it was useful to them.

With points, they could trade Treasure Hunter for all kinds of benefits.

That beauty filter was a permanent reward her mother had exchanged for using a massive amount of points.

To other people, Hazel naturally looked flawless.

On top of that, she took whitening pills regularly, and the effect was amazing.

She had just finished snapping a few lifestyle photos and was thinking about what captions to use when she heard the door downstairs open.

She remembered her mother’s message that her father would ask how she offended Zoey and that she should deny everything.

She hesitated for a moment, then decided not to go downstairs to greet him.

Not long after, there was a knock.

“Hazel bit her lip, set her phone aside, and opened the door. Her parents were standing there.

“Dad, what’s wrong?” she asked gently, looking obedient.

Matthew still hadn’t calmed down. When he saw his youngest daughter, he frowned. “A few days ago, did you message Mrs. Crawford, compare yourself to your sister, and make her angry?”

Hazel immediately shook her head.

“No, Dad. I didn’t. Who told you that? How could I randomly text Mrs. Crawford?”

Her mother had told her not to admit anything, so of course she denied it.

Leona’s expression changed instantly.

When she messaged Hazel earlier, Zoey hadn’t explained everything to Matthew.

Now Matthew already knew the full story from Zoey,

If Hazel denied it now, that meant she was lying.

Leona quickly tried to signal her daughter.

Hazel didn’t catch it at all.

Chapter 123 Slap

Sure enough, Matthew got even angrier.

Without thinking, he slapped Hazel hard. “Still lying, huh? Who taught you this? You actually compare yourself to your sister? Have you been doing this behind my back all along?”

The slap was heavy.

A red, swollen handprint immediately appeared on Hazel’s fair face.

She covered her cheek, staring at Matthew in disbelief as tears streamed down.

It was the first time her father had ever hit her.

Anger and humiliation surged. “Dad, who are you listening to? How could I ever compare myself to Scarlett when texting Mrs. Crawford?”

Matthew sneered. “Still denying it? Mrs. Crawford said it herself. Do you think she’d lie? Do you even know that because of you, my deal with the Quinns is completely ruined?!”

“I … I…” Hazel couldn’t say another word.

She broke down, crying even harder.

She hated Scarlett, hated Zoey, hated Shawn, and hated the father who suddenly felt like a stranger.

He used to be gentle with her. He had never hit or scolded her before.

Unable to take it anymore, Hazel turned around, crying, and slammed the door shut.

Matthew shouted, “Now you’re even slamming doors? Tomorrow morning, you’re going to Quinn Group to apologize to Mrs. Crawford!”

The only response from inside was Hazel’s sobbing.

“None of you gives me any peace!” Matthew turned and snapped at Leona. “Look at how you raised your daughter. Tomorrow, you’re taking her to apologize to Mrs. Crawford!”

Leona didn’t dare argue. Bitterness welled up in her chest.

She had fallen in love with Matthew at first sight back then.

But had she really picked the right man?

Was his character actually good?

If it were, he wouldn’t have done what he did back then.

Her expression darkened slightly.

She had bonded with Treasure Hunter when she was 18. At the time, she was thrilled, thinking she was special, chosen by the world. She believed Treasure Hunter would make her a winner in life, the strongest existence of all.

She thought she would stand at the very top, admired by everyone.

But reality was nothing like that.

Treasures weren’t easy to find.

Museums were full of valuables, but she couldn’t steal from them.

For years, she barely managed to get a few decent items.

Later on, she met Matthew and fell for him at first glance.

Back then, he was extremely handsome.

But he already had a wife, Daphne, who was pregnant.

So Leona used all her points to trade for a devotion pill from Treasure Hunter. It was permanent and cost her everything.

She used it on Matthew. He fell in love with her and divorced Daphne.

Later, she got pregnant with Hazel and married him.

At that time, Matthew was dirt poor.

Even with Treasure Hunter, their life didn’t improve much.

It wasn’t until four years later that things finally changed.

They took three–year–old Hazel back to the old house to honor the ancestors.

Matthew’s old house had only two broken rooms and nothing else.

After Matthew’s relatives passed away, it was the Sanchezes who supported him through school.

After honoring the ancestors, Matthew went to visit Patrick.

At that time, Patrick was still alive.
