Chapter 9
After not seeing each other for more than a month, Hilton looked much more haggard. Standing next to Daisie, he seemed like they were from two different worlds.
I wanted to pretend I didn’t see him and just walk around, but Hilton rushed over and grabbed my hand.
He asked me excitedly, “Madeline, I finally found you. Where have you been these days?”
I pulled my hand back reflexively and distanced myself from them.
Hilton was stunned. He subsconsiously opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Daisie.
“Madeline, dad and mom are missing you these days. They wanted to send you a message but you blocked their numbers. They seemed to be very sad. If you don’t
want to go home because of me, then I can

leave…” Daisie began to wipe her tears as she spoke, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Here she went at it again. It was such a pity that I was no longer the same person as before. I would never lower my dignity for the sake of illusory love again and let Daisie step on me again.
I turned cold and exposed her directly.
“Aren’t you tired of saying this all the time? If you really wanted to leave, you should have left the first time. Isn’t it just to play the victim by dragging it on until now?”
Daisie was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t expect me to say that and she looked at Hilton for help.
This time, Hilton didn’t stand up to protect her like before, but looked at me
apologetically and said, “Madeline, we are sorry for what happened before. It won’t happen again in the future. Can you come back to me?”

“Since you left, I really realized that you have always been the one I really like and care about. I admit that I was wrong,” Hilton said and wanted to hold my hand, but I tossed his hand.
I put my hands behind my back and said impatiently, “I can’t accept your love. You probably need to say these words to Daisie.”
Hilton was anxious when he heard this and shook his head quickly, “No, I don’t like her. I was just being nice to her before because I was blinded by my own illusion.”
Daisie looked at Hilton in disbelief, “Hilton, what are you talking about?”
Hilton seemed to not hear her words and
kept staring at me.
I didn’t want to waste time with them, so I turned around and was about to leave, but Daisie grabbed my hand.
“Where are you going?”

I pushed her to the ground with my backhand. Then she was laying on the ground with her arms and legs spread out without any defense, which was
embarrassing and funny. I didn’t dare to do anything to her before because of my parents and Jeffrey, but now I couldn’t care less. I did not just have to push, but also
used all the force.
Hilton was stunned by my sudden change, but he didn’t mean to help Daisie either. Instead, he distanced himself from Daisie as if he was ashamed.
I didn’t want to pay attention to them, so I ran away while Daisie was pestering Hilton.
After meeting the client with Marco, I received a call from my father.
In the past, I really wanted to receive his call, wanting to hear him gently tell me to come home just like what he told Daisie all this time. But now, I was feeling annoyed when I saw his number and hung up

immediately.
After the two meetings in the USA, Jeffrey and Hilton were quiet and stopped harassing me. But I didn’t expect that on the fifth day after Marco and I came back, they brought my parents to see me.

When I came to the door of the company, I saw them standing outside in unison. I couldn’t believe my eyes…
“So you are really here. We already know that
you suffered from asthma. We‘ re really sorry for what we did to you last time.”
