Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 I Don't Dislike You
Listening to her words, Herry felt they made some sense.

"What's your name?" he asked softly.

"Emily," she replied.

"Aren't you afraid? There are lots of ghosts here."

"Fear is the most useless emotion. It's more practical to turn fear into strength."

Her tone was gentle yet carried a certain strength that gradually helped Herry move past his fear and stabilize his emotions.

Sensing this, Emily spoke softly, "Do you want to leave with me?"

"I'm a boy, I don't need you to accompany me."

"Oh," Emily nodded. "Then feel free to stay here."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Herry said, "Emily, why haven't my mom and dad come to find me? They love me so much. Aren't they worried about me being missing?"

How should she respond?

Your mom conspired with your sister to take advantage of your missing; your dad is a very arrogant person who only knows how to order others around but won't come to find you personally.

"They... are busy," she said.

"What are they busy with? What's more important than me? I'm their only son, am I not the most important thing to them?"

Emily nodded. "Yes, you are, but you're eleven years old now. Do you expect to rely on your parents even when you're sixty?"

Herry was a bit angry. "But I'm only eleven. They should treat me well."

"In this world, there's no such thing as 'should'. Many children in this world don't have parents from birth. They have to grow up and push through the darkness on their own because they know no one will come to save them."

Herry listened quietly, head down, not saying a word, lost in thought.

But Emily knew he was contemplating.

So she continued, "Your father is a capable man. With him around, you can get into as much trouble as you want. He can pay for a brand new car if you ruin one. But have you ever thought about how that car was made by many hardworking people? If the car can't be sold, they might not get paid. Their children won't be able to come to amusement parks or even afford a basketball. There are many children at your age already thinking about how to earn money to escape hardship."

Herry bit his lip. "Are you blaming me for ruining the car at your company? My dad already paid for it."
