Chapter 236
However, at this point, Colin swallowed his saliva and decided to let it be. He thought. Since Valerie asked for it herself, itâs none of our business if she gets beaten up.
He said, âAhem, hereâs the thing. Cutie Pie, Ms. Ruth Warren, if you intend to mediate, please move to the live broadcast hall.
When Ruth heard this, she immediately rushed over. Cutie Pie also hurriedly followed.
When Ruth and the others charged over, Valerie was already waiting on the sofa. Her expression was calm and indifferent. Of course, one could also say that she was arrogant
Ruth was furious when she saw Valerie. She could not help but rush over, but the staff at the scene quickly stopped her.
Ruth quickly pinched herself hard again, forcing herself to cry two drops of tears. She scolded Valerie, âAlright, youâre finally here!â
However, Valerie only said, âMs. Stone, helloâ
The entire venue was in an uproar as soon as Valerie said thar.
Ruth was also stunned. Then, her face turned ashen. âDid everyone hear that? What did this unfilial girl call me? She called me Ms. Stone?â
The staff also frowned and felt that Valerie was too much.
However, Valerieâs expression did not change. She smiled and said, âThatâs right, Ms. Stone. Iâm here today to make it clear. I donât have anything to do with you anymore.â
She shook the metal box. Everyone was curious about what it was.
Valerie slowly opened the metal box. Inside it was a small, wrinkled notebook. It was obvious that it had been inside for many years.
When Ruth saw Valerie holding that thing, although she did not know what was inside, she was a little nervous, afraid that it was some extraordinary evidence. However, she felt relieved to see it was just a lousy book
She sneered. âWhat is thisâ¦
Valerieâs voice was calm and serious. âThis is my diary. I recorded everything from the age of th to 12. It contains all my
I my childhood memories. My family had treated me unrighteously from when I could remember.
âI donât know why everyone thinks all parents should be amiable, but my parents arenât.
âOn December lst, the weather gradually turned cold. Mom asked me to go to the river to fetch water. I carried a bucket full of water and inudged along I accidentally fell and the water spilled, and my clothes were wet. When I returned home, I cried to Mom, but she raised her hand and slapped ane. She even called me a linle bitch and asked me to go back and fill the water vat before eating!
âBy the time I moved step by step and worked for three hours to fill the water vat, there was no more food at home. Mom said it would be a waste for a useless person like me to cat micht:
*I had rested for a week until the 8th of December. My injuries had just recovered, and my hands had frostbite because it was too cold. When ! slept, my hands itched so much. I begged Mom to cut a piece of raw ginger for me to apply on my hands, but she said it was for cooking. She even called me a little bitch and wasted ingredients. She told me to get low and not hinder her from playing cards!
âOn December
At first, everyone did not think much of it, but when they heard Valerie read it word by word, everyone was a little surprised.
In particular, the director pointed the camera at the diary and realized that the words in the diary looked stiff and rough. They were indeed words that only children would write. There were also a lot of misspelled words on it.
According to the time, it could be traced back to more than 10 years ago when Valerie was only six or seven years old.
How could a six or sevenâyearâold child lie? Unless she had expected this day to come. That was why she started writing a fake diary in advance.
However, everyone knew that the possibility was slim. No one could predict what would happen in the future!
So, this diary was real!
âStop itâ Ruth panicked. This was her true color.
Seeing that the other people in the studio were already looking at lier strangely, she was so frightened that she quickly interrupted Valerie. âStop talking. At that time, every family had a hard life in the countryside. Wonen should do more work. But 1 still cared for you. I raised you with all my heart. I canât believe you bear a grudge. Youâve been scheming since you were young. I didnât expect you to write those small things in your diary.
Chapter 236
Now, youâre settling old scores with me. Youâre too heartless
The netizensâ comments Bloated past.
âItâs all the fault of favoring boys over girls. They always think women should do more things. It happened to me, too. But when I think about it, my relationship with my parents was quite good. Iâm getting along well with my parents now. These things are the norm. Valerie, youâre too sensitive.â
âYou canât abandon your parents now because of this. Besides, she raised you! No matter how badly she treated you, she still supported you in your studies. Sheâs not cultured, and itâs not her fault
âSheâs been a scheming girl since she was young. At such a young age, she already knew how to write those things in her diary and hold grudges.â
However, unlike before, different voices also appeared on the screen. Some more rational people expressed their opinions.
âYouâre saying the victims are all guilty. Which child can withstand such scolding? She was so young, so why did she have to do so much work?â
âItâs already cold in the countryside in December, okay? A girl worked for three hours without food while her clothes were wet. Havenât you thought.
about it?â
âShe was only six years old. When my nephew went out to play when he was six, he still needed us to coax and hug him when the journey was slightly long. Which child doesnât want their parents to pamper them like a treasure? Isnât this mother a little too blackâheartedâ¦â
These comments made some people panic. Cutie Pie and Clark did not look too good.
Ruth cried as she secretly looked at Valerieâs expression. I canât believe this darnn girl kept a diary, Ruth cursed in her heart, Moreover, she still remembers things from such a long time ago. Sheâs a real pain in the assâ
Ruth clenched her fists and tried to be tough. âBut donât all the children in the countryside live like this? Do you think youâre the only a are so many children. I was under so much pressure, but you still bear a grudge. Iâm so disappointed!â
only one? There
Valerie did not say anything. Instead, she silently dug out a stack of receipts from the
e diary. To be precise, there were only at were all the receipts of her transferring the money.
When she saw this, Ruthâs expression darkened. She could not help but he stunned âWhat are these?â
of them. The n
Fest
Valerie said in a deep voice, âI donât deny that itâs hard in raise children in the countryside, but Ms. Stone, since you said that you raised me, you must have spent a lot of money on me, right?â
Ruth nodded subconsciously. Cutie Pie said from the side, âOf course. Do you know how much it costs to raise a child! From the moment they were born to eating, drinking, pooping, and going to school, this is not something that can be explained with one or two coins!ti
Ruth quickly added, âIndeed, if you donât take charge, you wonât know how expensive daily expenses are. We have to spend money on food and clothes. Even if weâre poorer. Iâve saved all the money I could for her. She is my daughter. How can I treat her wrong?â
âOkay.â Valerie nodded and said calmly. âThen Iâll let everyone see how much Ms. Stone spent on meâ
As Valerie spoke, she took out a messy stack of small notes from the compartment of the diary. The director shifted the camera and aimed at them so people could look at them carefully. They realized that they were all receipts. Then, Valerie carefully placed each receipt together and added them together,
Then, she smiled at the camera and said, âMs. Stone raised me. It was hard on her to pay a total cost of 73.36 dollars for my life growth
73.36 dollars?â In an instant, everyone thought there was something wrong with their ears
