Chapter 168 I know youre not stupid .
Its not worth it for those two .
But what absusit Rena ? That jerk is still Renas father , Emery said , getting angrier every she thought about it .
I have to ask , how did you ever end up marrying that jerk in the first place ? This question had been brewing in Emerys mind for a long time .
She always wanted to ask but didnt dare , afraid of upsetting Paisley .
But now that they were talking about it , she finally let it out .
Well Paisley i teased with a smile .
I mean , hes hot ! Emery rolled her eyes .
You know Im not talking about that ! Paisley knew exactly what Emery wanted to hear .
After thinking for a moment , she spoke slowly , You know , I was three when my grandfather found me .
I lived under a lot of pressure until I was thirteen .
For ten years , Grandfather taught me everything he knew , not just the Ancient Medical Arts , but many other things .
Like brewing wine , painting .
and more During that time , except for the little sleep I got , I spent all my time trying to absorb knowledge .
I couldnt afford to slack off Any time I slacked off and was caught by Grandfather , Id get scolded .
He would lock me up on the mountain .
No lights , no food .
I could only come down from the mountain when I could recite all the things he had taught me .
I lived that way for ten years .
Of course , I was grateful .
Without him , I might have frozen to death at three or been eaten by a wild animal on the mountain .
Later , he passed away , he left me a mind full of knowledge , countless books , and a considerable fortune .
It was then that I realized he was incredibly wealthy But I was only three or fourteen at the time .
He had taught me so much , except how to deal with people and live in a society .
A linle girl with much wealth naturally became a target for many people with ulterior motives .
After facing betrayal and suffering .
I began to hide my abilities and wealth .
I just wanted to live like an ordinary person .
30 Then , with the help of the police , when I was seventeen , I found my parents .
The police sent me back to the Sullivan family .
I thought they would be happy to find me But it wasnt like that at all .
They had Brittany , and they loved her more .
Every time I had a conflict with Brittany , they always sided with her .
My mother even said through gritted teeth how she wished I had died outside .
When I first heard her say that , I felt like I was three years old again .
Alone on a remote mountain , cold and scared , and the sounds of unknown animals filled the darkness .
That feeling of despair returned But there would be no grandfather to come and bring me back this time .
So , I chose to leave on my own .
After I left the Sullivan family , I met Dominick , I was sitting by the side of the road crying , and he was sitting there drinking away his sorrows .
I was a rejected orphan with nowhere to go He was about to take the position of the familys head , with so many people waiting to see him fail , trying to trip him up , thinking he couldnt bear the weight of the responsibility .
And we fell in love like that .
Then , when I was twenty , I married him because he said he wanted to give me a home .
