I was woken by the ringing of the telephone.

I glanced at the screen and couldn't help but smile. It was from my best grandma, Diane Harrington.

As soon as the phone was answered, a familiar voice came. "Bella, are you coming back for holiday?"

Since I was a child, my parents sent me to live with my grandma in the countryside for care.

In fact, it was not that my family didn't have the money to hire a nanny to take care of me, but after my younger brother was born, all their energy and all their love were diverted to his side.

She was right, and I could definitely handle everything.

I was capable of fighting and had been a school bully since childhood.

Suddenly, I remembered the first time when the teacher called Diane in junior high school, she hunched over and kept saying, "Bella is so adorable and well-behaved like a kitten. How could she hit her classmates? Is she being bullied by others?"
