Chapter 165: Circle of Friends
"Miss Lane, how did you end up in this state? This..."
Sylvia Lane clenched her teeth, her face bruised and swollen, filled with hatred and bitterness.
Wasn’t it all because of that wretch, Serena Summers, that she had fallen to this state?
If it weren’t for her, Lucas Shaw would never have driven her out of the Shaw Family. Heaven knows what kind of days she has been living through; it was simply too bitter to speak of!
Her grandmother favored boys over girls and had always been dissatisfied because her mother had given birth to her, a daughter. She even mocked and ridiculed her mother, calling her "a hen that can’t lay eggs" and "not even as good as a pig in a sty"...
It was imaginable that upon her return, she received no preferential treatment; her grandmother and uncles initially greeted her with smiles.
But as soon as they learned that she was driven out by the Shaw Family, their faces immediately changed.
"To be adopted by a distinguished family like the Shaw Family, which others could only dream of, and yet you didn’t cherish it and squandered such an opportunity, you really did a good job!"
"You are just like your mother who can’t bear a son; good for nothing but causing failures!"
Mockery, disgust, sarcasm... It all came pouring at her relentlessly, like surging waves, almost completely drowning her.
