Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Mary predicted, the person did not intend to let Mark go.

Mary frowned and said, “How can you go back on your word? My boss has already discovered that the seal has been lost. Now that I can’t steal anything else for you, she definitely won’t let me off. She might have already called the police! As long as you let my brother go, I’ll stop contacting you. You won’t be implicated…”

“Miss Mary.” The man in black interrupted Mary. “It’s precisely because we won’t let your brother go that you must bear the responsibility yourself. If we let him go, you won’t have any worries and you’ll cooperate with the police investigation and betray us. Don’t worry, as long as you’re obedient, 1 won’t hurt your brother. However, if you have any ill intentions, I’m sorry.”

After saying that, the man in black turned around and walked out. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, but he did not turn around. He only said, “The contact number remains unchanged.” Then, he left directly.

Mary wanted to run after him, but she knew it would be useless. She could not defeat the man.

She went to the window. Just as the man in black had said, he was not the only one who came. When the man in black went down, there was another person who was wearing the same clothes as him down there. The only difference was that he was short and fat. The fat man got out of the car and opened the door for the man in black, as if this person had a very high status.

After stealing Yin Xun’s seal and failing to save her brother, Mary slumped to the ground, not knowing what to do next.

…..

While she was at a loss, her phone rang again. She took out her phone and saw that it was her mother.

Not knowing what to tell her, Mary waited a long time before answering.

“Why are you so slow? It’s been ages. Did you save your brother?” Mary’s mother asked directly when she saw that the call had connected. She was not worried that Mary might be troubled or injured.

Hearing her mother’s question, an inexplicable feeling of grievance rose in Mary’s heart. She sobbed and said, “No, that person still refuses to let Mark go…”

Mary’s mother became anxious when she heard Mark was not rescued. She cursed. “I knew that trash like you couldn’t do anything. You can’t even save your own brother! What’s the point of me raising you? Why wasn’t it you who got kidnapped?!”

Hearing her mother’s words, Mary felt as if a bomb had exploded in her mind. Instantly, there was roaring in her head.

What did she just hear? Why did her mother say that?

“Mom, what are you talking about? 1 don’t want my brother to get kidnapped either. Besides, I’m also your child. What are you saying…” The corners of Mary’s mouth twitched slightly, and her eyes were red. Even her voice was trembling so much that she was almost unable to speak.

She knew that her parents had always hated her, but she did not expect it to be so serious.

It was hard to tell if Mary’s mother could hear her grief, but she continued to berate her. “I raised you painstakingly, but what use were you? You keep earning money outside, but you aren’t concerned about your family at all. You knew that your brother doesn’t have a job. If you don’t give him some money to spend, are you counting on your father and me to support him by ourselves? We’re old, how can we still have the energy? It’s all because of you. If we didn’t spend all that money on your university, your brother wouldn’t be like this…”

Mary’s mother kept cursing, not giving her a chance to speak.

The more Mary listened, the more aggrieved she felt. She had stopped asking her family for money since she became an adult. Since high school, she had been working while attending school. She had earned her living expenses and tuition fees. In addition, she had scholarships and had not spent much of her family’s money at all.

On the contrary, since she started working, most of her salary had been used to supplement her family’s expenses. She only left a portion of her salary every month for herself and still had to make ends meet.

She worked hard every day and gave her family money. Not only was her family not satisfied, but they also kept cursing her. They said that she was useless as a girl and might as well find a rich man to marry. Only then would she be worth something.

On the other hand, her younger brother dropped out of school halfway through his studies. He did not do much every day. Even so, her mother praised Mark and said that it was still good to have a son. She asked Mary to help out her younger brother.

Ever since she was young, Mary had never understood why her mother hated her even though she had done nothing wrong.

Now, she understood. It was because she was a girl. Although she did not do anything, her identity as a girl was already a problem..
