After saying this, I turned to leave. He still wanted the bodyguards to stop me. I took a deep breath, “Can you really stop me? My social status today is not something you businessmen can compare to. Don’t believe me? Try it. If I’m not out of this gate in 5 minutes, see if the police come
or not.”
Hearing this, my father slumped onto the sofa and waved his hand to let me go. I left directly.
My mother was crying heartbreakingly behind me, but I didn’t pay attention to her. Their belated affection is cheaper than grass. Their belated love is already dead.
The moment I saw Jack, I knew.
I’ve come back, but this negotiation didn’t make them realize that I really don’t want them anymore.
My mother even accepted an interview with reporters, publicly revealing the reason for our poor relationship. Immediately, they were scolded so badly by netizens that they had to close the comments.
“My God, what kind of sick joke is this? This is the first time I’ve heard of such superstitious parents in a wealthy family!”
“Two children with conflicting fortunes? That’s because you parents are useless. Don’t you calculate birth dates when you’re pregnant? How come you didn’t figure out this child’s birth date then?”
“They’re only one minute apart, why is it Sarah harming Jack?”
“I know Sarah, she’s my classmate. Excellent in both character and studies. She’s really a lotus growing out of the mud. And who the hell is
Jack?”
“That kid crashed his car and fled the scene. Wasn’t it all settled with his parents‘ money? Now we can see who’s the good bamboo and who’s
the bad shoot!”
“You parents are truly blind, mistreating such a good child like Sarah. Disgusting.”
All of Jade Corporation’s product lines were given bad reviews by netizens, and their entire official website had to close comments.

Especially when netizens dug up the video of their interview with reporters during Spring Festival three years ago.
“Three years ago, Jack was 22, and they took him on a trip. Does this mean they left Sarah alone at home?”
“Sarah left three years ago too. She must have been heartbroken then!”
“22–year–old Sarah was heartbroken by her family and went far away to the west to support. Fortunately, she had such a good teacher as Professor Lin, otherwise she might not have survived!”
“Such double standards!”
Seeing this scene now, I shook my head and put down my phone, no longer paying attention.
There were more things to do later, and I didn’t have time for this.
Professor Lin, however, took the initiative to find me.
“Sarah, this project needs to continue. Now the higher–ups require us to form a special team to tackle this problem, but it’s a confidential project. I don’t know if you’re interested in joining?”
“Of course I want to join!”
“What about your parents?”
I said solemnly, “I’ve given up hope on them. Professor Lin, you know, what’s said online is mostly true. I have no hope for them, and I don’t want to be involved with them in any way.”
“Last time I went to the Johnson family’s old house and made things clear with them. If they continue to pester me, I can only rely on the organization to help me deal with all this.”
Professor Lin immediately understood. I was going to completely sever ties with my family. Fortunately, I had already transferred my household registration out, so it would be easy for me to leave.
Hearing me say this, Professor Lin sighed and nodded, “Alright, Sarah. I support any decision you make, as long as you don’t regret it.”
