My mother used to ignore me, so I took my camera and ran to the printing shop without anyone noticing. Later, I printed out everything and brought it home.

At this time, my brother was watching TV intently. He saw me and made a face at me. I showed no mercy and punched him in the head, trying to kill him while he was young.

In my prior life, he bullied me a lot with his strong strength.

After I punched him, he burst into tears. It surely attracted my mother.

As for me, I ran out in advance and hid on the balcony, waiting to see my mother's expression as she saw the chat history.

The happy marriage that she was proud of was false.

To my surprise, she was not as tough as I thought.

However, I didn't care about it, for there would be a lot of drama to come.

In the end, my mother simply swallowed her pride without showing any sign of it.

On the day when our whole family went to my grandfather’s 60th birthday party, my mother actually bought me a new piece of clothing.

"Don't mention that I treated you unfairly again. Your new clothes are a famous brand."

If I didn't know that my brother always wore this brand since he was a child, I might be really grateful to her.

I was impatient and rolled my eyes. Both of us had been tired of each other for a long time.

My grandfather and my mother both hankered after vainglory. This time, he booked several halls in the hotel, and the banquet was extremely grand. By the time we arrived, the place was almost packed.

My mother carried my brother and managed to sit, but my father, a selfish man, only cared about himself and kept moving forward with his head down. I, little and young, was almost trampled.

After finally sitting down, I didn’t even have time to catch my breath, for I had to sneak backstage and upload the video I had specially made.

On such occasions, my mother wouldn't forget Dolcie. It was no exaggeration that she couldn't show off without Dolcie.

As my mother and Dolcie met each other, they hugged each other, as if they were best friends. "It's been a long time since we last met. Dolcie, what skincare products have you used recently? How come you look younger than me?"

"Nothing special! It's just because my child is obedient and sensible. You're different from me. I guess you should be more hard-working than me. After all, you have two children."

My mother faked a smile. "It's impossible. I'm so happy to have a son and a daughter."

I feel ashamed for her when she said that.

The two exchanged some pleasantries and finally sat down. I looked at them carefully and found that my dad and Dolcie had a lot of eye contact, while my mom was socializing others, just like a fool.

My dad was dissatisfied and spoke out, "It's time to eat, and stop wandering around."

My mother treated her words as sweet talk. "Darling, you care about me too much. We are in the same hall, and are you afraid that I'll get lost?"

Dolcie gave her a meaningful look. My mother wanted to say something more, but my dad stopped her with a frown.

He grabbed my mother's arm and let her sit down.

"The children are watching."

My dad almost pinched my mom's arm so hard that it turned blue, but she still managed to act coquettishly.

My mother was firmly convinced that a happy and harmonious family was an important part of her life. She wanted to maintain her marriage with all her strength. So, I was looking forward to how she would react when she saw the video.

The banquet officially began. The host standing on the stage said a lot of compliments, then asked the people in the backstage to turn on the video they had produced.

The original video was a blessing from the younger generation in the family to my grandfather.

Yet, I replaced it with all kinds of intimate photos of my dad and Dolcie as well as their private chat records.

The background music I had dubbed was the sound of the two of them flirting with each other.

Without exaggeration, I saw my mother's face turn pale so rapidly that it seemed like magic.

My dad was even more restless, and Dolcie ran out with her bag covering her face. I shouted suddenly, "Dolcie, do you want to be my stepmother?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

My mother came to her senses. She went straight over and grabbed Dolcie's hair. Having dragged her to the ground, my mother started smashing things at her, trying to vent her anger.

"You bitch, you actually seduce my husband. I'm going to give you a lesson."

She added, "I treat you as my good friend, but you did something so disgusting."

Dolcie fought back. She turned over and sat on my mother, strangling her neck with a ferocious look.

"You have always been jealous of me. When have you ever considered me a good friend? Look at you! You're just a crazy woman, and your husband definitely looks down on you."

"Even so, it's not my turn. You bitch!"

"Who are you calling a bitch?"

Dolcie slapped my mother in the face as she spoke. I pretended to be scared, but I was cheering in my heart.

After all, my mother had slapped me many times before, and now she finally got slapped in the face.

My dad naturally needed to prevent them from fighting.

He had no choice but to step forward to separate them, but the two women were so angry that they had no intention of stopping even when they saw him. The two even scratched his face several times.

His face, body, and neck were covered with red marks immediately, so he had to cover his face and give up.

Young as my brother was, he tried to rush forward to help my mother. I couldn't let him affect the situation, so I stood up to stop him and pushed my dad in as well. Taking advantage of the chaos, I hit my mom in the face several times, stepped on my brother a few times, and even secretly pinched my dad.

My dad was also enraged, shouting, "You can fight, but don't get me involved."

Dolcie cursed, "You son of a bitch, I was beaten because of you."

"Why are you blaming me? It's because you seduce me first."

"You two bastards, I'm going to kill you."

The three people held hatred towards each other, and they all blamed each other.

I don't understand why I should be polite to a mistress, a cheating scumbag, and a mother who abused her daughter. Since none of them were good people, I could punish them.

With that in mind, I took whatever I could get in my hands and threw it at them. I hit them so hard that they felt dizzy. Yet, thinking that they were being beaten by each other, the three of them started fighting again.

I really wanted to get them behind bars, so I borrowed a nearby customer's phone and called the police. The police arrived and saw the scene.

In the end, the three of them were taken away by the police. Besides, nobody cared about me and my brother. So, we returned home without anyone noticing.

My younger brother knew how to act according to the real situation. He also knew that I was not someone he could mess with. So, after returning home, he didn't dare to utter a word.

In the end, as he was too hungry to bear it anymore, he could only cry.

"Zoe, I'm so hungry."

I deliberately waved the snacks in front of him. "I won't give you any."

He was hungry and scared. Later, he opened his mouth and started crying loudly again.

I wouldn't be controlled by him like my mother. I just plugged my ears with earplugs and took all the snacks into my room.

When the door was closed, I had peace of mind.

Yet, this bastard never made me feel at ease.

"What happened? The kid was about to jump off the building."

It turned out that it was my brother, that bastard, who pretended to jump off the building because I didn't give him anything to eat.

Of course, I wouldn't take it seriously. I even didn't care whether he was alive or not. Unlike my mother, I would never treat him as my dearest child.

I just stood in the living room with my hands on my hips, looking at him on the balcony. "We live on the second floor. You won't die even if you jump down. Maybe you'll disabled, but don't worry. Mom will take care of you in the future."

Seeing that he relented, I added, "Unluckily, Mom is still in the police station. Whether she can get out is another matter. Before that, it will still be just the two of us."

After saying that, I gave him a cruel smile, and indeed, the kid crawled back.

As soon as my brother came in, the people outside who were seeing the fun suddenly made a noise. Until now, I realized that it was my parents who came back.

I thought they would be detained for a few days, but I didn't expect them to be released now.

The most embarrassing thing was that there were policemen following behind them. Under such circumstances, my parents looked dejected, like dogs on a leash.

My mother pled, "Sir, I told you there are two children at home. They are so young and don't know how to eat or sleep. You can't detain me."

Coincidentally, this policeman was the one who took me to the Child Protective Service before.

My dad also complained, "Sir, it's not against the law for me to cheat on my wife. You have no right to detain me, right?"

"Yet, fighting in public will endanger public security."

My mother was smarter than my father. She immediately brought both of us to her and pinched our arms hard. Hence, my brother and I screamed in pain.

She said, "Sir, my children are crying so hard. They can't leave me. Please be lenient, and don't detain me."

I ripped open my sleeves, revealing the obvious wounds on my body. It caught my mother off guard.

"Sir, please take my mother away. She beats me whenever she's home."

My mother was stunned and quickly explained, "Sir, I really didn't hit her. I haven't hit her since you warned me last time."

Indeed, she didn't hit me, but I could pinch myself. I did it secretly just now.

I stared at the policeman timidly, then looked at my mother fearfully, and retracted my hand in fear. It looked very natural.

The policeman became angry in an instant. "I originally wanted to give you two a chance to correct, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. We will ask the Child Protective Service staff to take care of them. As for you two, you will be detained for half a month."

My mother didn't even have a chance to explain. She then was handcuffed and taken away. The previous onlookers didn't walk far away either, so they all witnessed them being taken away. My mother, a person who valued her reputation, couldn't bear it.

My father was also taken away, but he was more sensible than her. He lowered his head and tried to keep a low profile.

I pushed my brother hard and whispered to him, "You don't want to stay with me forever, right? If so, hurry up and plead for Dad. Be louder!"

My brother was hesitant and unable to utter a word. I approached and instructed him in a low voice.

Fortunately, this guy got it and started shouting immediately.

"Sir, please let my father go. He was just looking for a stepmother for us."

He continued to shout, "She is familiar with my mother, so she won't hurt us. Can she cook for us? I'm almost starving at home."

As expected, the people present gave my dad disdainful looks, pointing fingers, and started scolding him.

"Indeed, we can't judge a person by his appearance. He usually looks like a good person, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing."

"How terrible it is! I feel sorry for this little girl. Her father doesn't love her and her mother doesn't care about her."

"It's obvious that his wife favors boys over girls. She finally has a son, so she naturally ignores her daughter."

The onlookers expressed my feelings. I once again put on a pitiful look and looked at the police officer.

As they were about to take me to the Child Protective Service, I knew that my goal had been achieved.
