Heidi’s heart pounded like a drum. She had a nagging feeling that something was off. Then, she remembered that their room was connected to the outdoor platform where the air conditioning unit was housed, making it the perfect spot for cavesdropping.

Having previously crawled into the platform once to avoid being hit, she fearlessly made her way there again.

There, she happened to overhear her stepfather planning to marry her off to an old bachelor in exchange for a betrothal gift.

Heidi’s eyes welled up with tears instantly. There was no way her mother would agree, right?

Indeed, Petra objected, “That geezer won’t do. He’s too old. If we were to marry her off to him, what would people say about us? Besides, it’d be too cruel to Heidi. This… this really just isn’t right.”

Though she didn’t particularly defend her, Heidi still felt slightly moved.

Yet, she was stunned the very next second.

“Oh, you think I’m being too cruel? Are you sh*tting me right now? Was what you did to her any less cruel?” Tony refuted.

Petra was instantly taken aback.

What… What are you saying?” she asked, her voice trembling.

Tony snorted. “Don’t think I’m clueless. I know that shortly after you gave birth, you feigned illness and sought help from the Quirk family. They were so kind to take both you and the child to a major hospital for care. But I noticed the way you started treating her completely differently after you brought her back. You not only stopped showing her any affection, but you barely even wanted to raise her. It’s strange, considering how fiercely protective you were of her when she was just born. You’d fly into a rage the moment I said anything bad about her. So, why the sudden change?”

Petra’s complexion gradually turned pale.

The expression on Heidi’s face as she stood outside the wall grew increasingly grave. This was the question that had haunted her entire life: why didn’t her own mother love her only child?

“Remember that night when she nearly died from illness because of your negligence? You spent the whole night in tears, apologizing to her, begging for her forgiveness, promising to atone for your mistakes. L found it so bizarre back then. Why were you so care for her when she was sick?”

By now, Petra was already trembling all over, glaring fiercely at the man. However, the latter just laughed smugly.

“Looking back, I noticed how scared you were of that brat interacting with the Quirk family’s daughter, You always refused to pick up the brat from school, but you’d go and watch the young Quirk heiress in Accret. Now, everything seeins to make sense! Ha ha ha To think someone so meek like you had actually pulled off such a big stunt behind our backs!”

“Ahh! Shut up! Just shut up!” Petra suddenly lunged forward, attempting to cover Tony’s mouth.

Yet, the man knocked lier down with a kick. “You crazy b*tch.”

“You’re full of sh*t!” Petra retorted fiercely. “Heidi is my daughter, not… not…”

Tony was shocked. “Just as I thought, you do favor your own biological daughter more. Are you that scared of the truth being revealed? Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid. I’m pretty content with my current life, so I don’t plan on saying anything. But, if you ever do something to upset me, don’t blame me for spilling the beans to the Quirk family.”

Losing her mind, Petra continuously lashed out with such force that she almost knocked the man down.

Meanwhile, Heidi, who was still secretly watching everything from outside the window, trembled so hard that she almost fell from the third floor.

She felt as if the blood in her body was flowing in reverse, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. Her ears were buzzing, and the truth was like a shockwave, rendering her mind blank. What was initially a surge of elation turned into a burst of rage, and these two emotions intermingled wildly, tormenting every nerve in her body.

She wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do. At that moment, all she felt was the world spinning around her. As she looked on, she saw the woman inside finally gather the courage to hit the man. All she could do was muster the most sarcastic smile.

So, I’m not loved simply because I’m not her real child, huh?

“If you hit me one more time, I’m going straight to the Quirks to tell them everything. Don’t push me!” Tony roared.

Petra immediately caved. “Shh! Keep it down!”

“You’d better watch yourself. Don’t forget that I’m your husband. Would you dare hit your own man? Do you not fear the consequences?”

Despite her panic, Petra had a strategy in mind. “Y–You’re my husband, so… if you dare spill the truth, I’ll tell them that you’re the one who orchestrated everything, that you forced me to do it. Everyone knows that I always follow your orders at home.”
