Chapter 24

After speaking, I started walking again. However, Jack's furious voice soon rang out, "Stop right there!

"Look at yourself! You left without a word and didn't even greet anyone when you came home. Do you still consider me your father? What about Ivy?"

I calmly looked at Jack's stern face with a faint smile, "Whether I see you as my father depends on whether you see me as your daughter." "Father," I murmured the word, feeling that Jack didn't deserve the title at all.

"I've just spent five hours on a plane and am a bit tired. Father." I deliberately emphasized the word. "May I go upstairs to rest now?"

My mocking tone only made Jack angrier. He stormed over to me in a few steps and raised his hand to hit me, but Ivy quickly grabbed his hand to stop him. "Jack, what are you doing? She's tired. Just let her rest. What's the point of this?"

She then turned to me and said softly and kindly. "Eve, don't hold it against your dad. You haven't called us in the past few days, so he's been worried.

"It's okay now. Go upstairs and rest. I'll call you when dinner's ready."

Ivy's words were well-crafted, but I didn't argue with them. It wasn't the time to tear off their masks yet.

Inodded. "Alright." Then, theaded upstairs and paused at the landing.

Soon, I heard ivy's voice. "What are you doing? Don't you know she's precious now? With her high exam scores, many people already have her on their list of potential daughters-in-law!"

I wasn't surprised at all Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited here to record everything they said on my phone.

Back in my room, I took a shower and lay down to rest. That dream had left me feeling down.

I turned to look out the window, wondering. In this second life, I'd seen through many people, but walking on eggshells made me cautious. I didn't know if that was good or bad. I also wondered how long it would take to finally achieve the freedom and happiness 1 longed for
