Nola frowned slightly, feigning confusion as she looked at Lelia. “What are you talking about?”

“I am not talking nonsense! Nola, your father raised you. He let you go to such a good school and do what you want. How can you be ungrateful? Now you don’t even want your father?” Lelia said.

Lelia described Nola as an unfilial daughter. When everyone saw her costly clothes, they somewhat believed what she said and began to point fingers at her.

That way, Nola would not be able to explain it clearly. Lelia wanted to see how Nola would handle it today.

Just when everyone suspected that Nola was the heartless daughter, Nola suddenly burst into tears.

“Lelia, how can you say that? Even if I’m not your biological daughter, you can’t do this to me! I’ve already given you all my savings. I can’t afford anything you want. Even I rented this dress for today’s second round of exams. Don’t force me anymore. I really can’t do anything against my conscience.”

“Nola, what are you talking about?”

Nola didn’t answer. As far as acting was concerned, she was the best. Now it was Nola’s turn to hold Lelia’s hand. She looked hurt and burst into tears.

“You don’t like my mother, and you don’t like me. But my mother married my father first. Even though they got divorced, I can’t just leave my mother alone. I can hardly afford my mother’s medical expenses. Don’t force me anymore. I won’t do these things against my conscience.”

Everyone suddenly realized that this woman was a stepmother. No wonder they don’t look alike.

“What did I ask you to do?”

“I really have no money. I can’t give you the only money I have to pay for your plastic surgery. You didn’t like me since I was a child. I just hope that you can be fair to me. I don’t want to be treated like my sister. At least don’t force me anymore.”

After hearing Nola’s words, everyone understood.
