Even after Her Death by Rita Bond

Chapter 169 Mrs Bolton, You're The Best

Public opinion raged for an entire day, growing more tense instead of

tense instead of dying down.

Even Sadie made a special trip to mock me, saying, "Zy, you entered the Boltons for a marriage alliance. Look at what you've done! You've been criticized so quickly. I, sharing the same surname as you, feel ashamed."

Bill's expression darkened. "I've always advised control og public opinion. Now that you're Mrs. Bolton, this kind of criticism looks bad. You're not even competing, and you're still talking nonsense."

"Dad, do you really understand me? How can you say I'm not competing?"

Instead of offering support, Bill's first response was to question her, "Can you even paint? Or are you just going out there to make a fool of yourself? You embarrassed the Gardners before, and now you're causing trouble for both families after your marriage." Sadie folded her arms, her posture challenging. "Exactly, Zoey, do you really think marrying someone will change anything? You're just a useless person who can't do anything right."

Zoey wasn't truly useless, she simply lacked self-confidence.

With Sadie constantly provoking her and teachers deliberately holding her back, Zoey gradually stopped attending those classes.

As a result, the Gardners saw her as nothing more than a worthless individual who couldn't succeed, while Sadie, nurtured by Bill, became increasingly remarkable.

But the truth is, I've always been a top student. What I know goes beyond just painting-

In my teenage years, I was also a prominent figure nurtured by the Sanders, and I've received numerous

awards

Zoey is gone, so now let me take over and slowly deal with this pretentious girl in the future.

"So, Sadie, did you sign up too?"

Sadie smirked confidently. "Of course. While my skills may not match those of renowned artists, I've heard there are a lot of awards this time. It would be nice to win the newcomer award." Bill patted her head with approval, "Your sister is sensible and capable. Don't make a fool of yourself!"

It was then that I understood the sorrow Zoey had felt in the past. They were all part of the Gardners, so why could her dad never notice her?

But seeing this scene, I didn't feel sad. Instead, I found it laughable. "Well, then I wish you the best of luck in achieving a good ranking."

The competition hadn't officially started, yet Anna was already using rumors from all sides to attack me, setting the stage for her own advantage.

I didn't feel concerned since the first round was based on online voting.
