Chapter 6: Outshining Her in Academics and Talent

"Mom... I, I..." Ye Bingtong wanted to say something, but she trembled, lips quivering, afraid to speak.

In the past, she had the boldness, simply because she was indulged and spoiled, believing that the Ye Family would forgive her no matter what.

But now, her certainty had faltered, and naturally, she no longer dared to be so unrestrained with her words.

"Besides school and home, you can't go anywhere else," Du Yaru said calmly. "I'll have someone watch over you. If you're found to have any contact with that Pei Yue again, then don't claim anymore that you're the daughter of the Ye Family. Choose Pei Yue and from now on live the life of a dropout with him, or continue being the cherished daughter of the Ye Family. The choice is yours."

Ye Bingtong shivered.

She wanted to say they couldn't treat her this way.

But suddenly, she realized.

They really could!

By blood, she bore none of the Ye Family's blood.
