Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

153 Auntie, why do you hate me so much?

On the following day, Nina kept a brave front as she went to school. She ignored the blatant whispers and mockery on her way to the classroom. However, when she reached her class, nasty comments were written all over her desk.

Looking at it, she tried to calm her heart and looked around. All she saw were her classmate's ridiculing looks and snickers.

"Do you think this is funny?" she scoffed, only to receive all sorts of ridiculous comments in

return.

"Are you going to blame us again?"

"Goodness. This girl is really ridiculous."

"Does she have no shame? After having a catfight yesterday, she would come here and point fingers at others."

"Nina, do you think we're the only ones who hate you?"

"Compared to Patricia, this girl is dirt nothing. She acts all high and mighty, but she's nothing but a lucky girl who was lucky enough to be swapped as a baby."

"She doesn't even feel sorry for the real daughter and tries to kill her. Gosh! This is truly a scary world! Even children are capable of doing such a horrendous act."

Their comments slowly turned into loud, malicious gossip. Nina couldn't even retort anymore.

"Tch!" Nina took off her bag and tried to clean her desk. Before the class would even start, she was already exhausted.

When the first ring for recess rang, Nina stayed at her desk. She heard her stomach grumble a little, clasping her stomach while everyone was happily chatting and eating with their friends.

'I should've eaten at home. Even if their food is barely edible, I'm hungry."

Even when lunch and their afternoon recess came, Nina stayed at her desk. She no longer had extra money to buy food. Unless she wanted to walk home, then she could. Hence, Nina had to endure her hunger until it was time to go home.

But even when it was time to go home, someone threw an ice pack that had dirty water as content. She didn't know where it came from, but she ended up going home smelling like the
