Chapter 2

After staying at my house for a few days, Maria said she wanted to go to school.

Maria was one year younger than me. And she was not good at studying.

But Laura still managed to get her into the class I was in with money.

In my previous life, I thought that it was because Laura wanted me to take care of Maria. So, I was kind enough to introduce my friends to her.

However, it made it easier for her to take everything from me.

While stepping into the classroom, Maria attracted everyone's attention.

She was dressed in a simple white dress. Paired with her innocent face, she quickly attracted the boys in the class.

So, finishing class, all the boys rushed over to chat with her.

My deskmate and best friend, Nora White, couldn't stand it.

She came over to say sourly, "Amelia, those boys are attracted by Maria. But I think she is not very beautiful."

I didn't respond to her but typed on my phone.

Soon, I posted a piece of news on Instagram.

I wrote: [This is my younger sister, Maria Clark. No one is allowed to bully her. ]

The accompanying picture was Maria's initial appearance, which looked dirty.

Soon, someone asked: [Amelia, is she your younger sister? How come I've never heard of it?]

I replied considerately: [My mom adopted her. And she had just been taken to my home from the countryside. I don't know if she can become a member of the Baker family, but at least she is living in my house now.]

Maria was still enjoying everyone's attention.

But, soon, she found that they were becoming more and more perfunctory. Finally, they returned to their seats.

After all, those rich boys only care about money and status.

Maria was from the countryside, with no background and no money. So they would not care about her.

Without my Instagram account, Maria had no idea what was going on.

She tried to show a top student to regain attention.

So, she listened carefully in class and actively answered the questions.

Unfortunately, she overestimated herself. She was not good at studying before. How could she answer the problems in our class?

In the end, the teacher was so angry, and he warned her to get out if she disrupted the class again.

The classmates also looked at her with annoyance.

Maria always thought she was excellent so that she couldn't accept the blow. Before school was over, she asked for leave and went home with the excuse that she was uncomfortable.

Before entering the house, I heard crying sounds from inside and Laura's gentle, comforting voice.

However, after I opened the door, Laura immediately changed her expression.

Picking up her phone, she pointed at that screenshot from Instagram and asked why I did that.

I deliberately blocked my family while posting on Instagram, but Laura got the screenshot. Obviously, it was sent by Maria.

Seeing I remained silent, Laura got angry.

"Amelia, what do you mean? I told you to take care of Maria. Why did you ignore me?"

After speaking, she raised her hand to hit me.

I didn't move away but quietly turned on the video on my phone.

With a crisp slap sound, I felt my face swollen.

"Mom, I did nothing wrong. You asked me to take care of Maria, so I posted a piece of news on Instagram. I want to tell others she is my younger sister. Did I wrong?"

My stubborn expression angered my mother again.

She picked up things from the table and threw them at me.

At the same time, she muttered, "You just want others to know Maria was from the countryside so that others will look down on her. You are so vicious!"

The glass smashed above my head, and the fragments cut bloody streaks on my face.

I cried out in grief with tears falling on my face, "I didn't tell a lie. Why do you blame me?

"I know you don't love Dad, so you don't like me. But I am your daughter, and I am jealous while seeing you caring for another girl."

After speaking, I immediately ran out with my phone.

After walking out of the house, the sadness on my face disappeared completely. Then, I walked into the police station with a happy look.

The police took me to get my injuries checked. My wounds weren't serious, but Laura was indeed guilty of domestic violence.

While the police were on their way to arrest Laura, I sent the recorded video to some marketing accounts, asking them to publicize it widely.

There were quite a few people paying attention to the Baker family. So, the news became a hot topic almost instantly.

In the video, Laura's resentful look and Maria's gloating expression were clearly visible.

Netizens had expressed their dissatisfaction.

[This woman is ruthless. Her daughter was slapped severely by her.]

[Is that adopted daughter her biological daughter?]

[Hush, friend. If you guess right, maybe you will get into trouble.]

[That adopted daughter is really a piece of shit. She is still giggling over there]

This matter spread quickly, and even the man who was indifferent to everything heard of it.
