Chapter 2
Sonborn didn’t dare to cry out. Her already thin hand turned bright red instantly, and it seemed like it could break at any moment.
Trick acted as if she didn’t see Sonborn in pain. She beamed as she came to me. “Chloe, your plano lesson is about to start. Let’s go to class,
1 glanced indifferently at Sonborn, who was holding her palm and silently crying, and said, “Get her cliccked out and bring the medicine to the classroom afterward.”
After the lesson, Moon Lamar and Spencer Led unexpectedly came to inspect.
“Your birthday party is in three days. Play something for me to listen to. Don’t embarrass yourself in front of the Bryans.”
I finished my piece, and Moon Lunar nodded in satisfaction, “Not bad. A daughter of the Lunar family is always so smart.”
The piano teacher, eager to show off, pushed Sonborn, who had been sitting quietly to the side, toward the piano.
She fawned, “Mrs. Lunar, you see, this child has no foundation, but now she can play a whole piece.
My teaching ability is great, right?”
The words had barely left her mouth before Sonborn flinched and shook her head vigorously.
Before I could speak, Moon Lunar let out a mocking sound. “Well then, let’s hear her play.”
Sonborn hesitated and looked to me for help. I nodded gently, “Go ahead.”
Trick, looking grim, roughly grabbed Sonborn by the arm and forced her to the piano. “Play well.
Don’t embarrass me!”
Sonborn played better than I did. The teacher, eager to show off, kept praising Sonborn. “Mrs Lunar,
listen to her play so well.
As long as Miss Chloe continues her lessons, I guarantee she’ll play just as well as Sonborn.”
I sighed and sent the clueless teacher away before Moon Lunar could get angry.
Moon Lunar, eyeing Sonborn’s face, which bore a resemblance to hers, sneered and said to Spencer
Lod.
This distant relative’s daughter actually has some musical talent. Should I send her abroad to
study?”
Spencer Led was so terrified that he didn’t dare make a sound. He gestured frantically for Trick to
take Sonborn away.
“Darling, don’t joke. Just feeding them is enough. People like her don’t deserve to learn the arts like
Chloe.”
Trick, ever loyal, kicked Sonborn in the back and twisted her arm so harshly it seemed like she wanted to break her fingers,
“You slut. How dare you practice without permission? Speak! Did you secretly come to the piano room to practice behind Chloe’s back?”
“You think you deserve to learn the piano? If Chloe weren’t so kind, you’d never touch a plano in your life!”
”
Spencer Led reached out to help but then hesitated and withdrew his hand.
I watched it all with indifference and said casually, “Dad, Sonborn is also related to you by blood. Why don’t you show a little care?”
Upon hearing that, Spencer Led reacted violently. He shoved me and shouted, “What nonsense are you talking? How could I be related to her by blood!”
My hand slammed into the piano, making a dull sound, and the pain shot through me. I couldn’t hold
back a cry of pain.
Trick was even more anxious than Moon Lunar. She quickly held my hand, gently blowing on the
red marks on my skin.
Her sharp eyes turned to Spencer Led. “What are you doing? Chloe’s hands are for playing the piano.
There cannot be a single scratch!”
Moon Lunar clicked her tongue in annoyance. “Try playing the piano with that injury. If you mess
in front of the Bryans, don’t even think about living a good life again!”

life!
I stepped out after changing into my gown, and Sonborn, with a filthy face and tattered clothes, followed behind me, holding up my skirt.
Trick Randon couldn’t stop complimenting me, saying, “Chloe looks so beautiful–marrying into the Bryan family is the luck of their whole lineage,
