Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 34

“The most important thing in life is to be grateful. The Hart family raised you. Even if there were no great merits, there was hard work.”

“Now that you’ve achieved something, you should be thinking about how to repay the family, not throwing tantrums and making us a laughingstock.”

He delivered his speech with a self-righteous and sanctimonious air.

As if all the injustice Grace had suffered was just a “tantrum,” and her current reluctance to “repay” the family was a sign of ingratitude.

Just then, Lilian, who had been silent, let out a soft sob.

She put down her fork, and tears began to fall like broken strings of pearls.

“I’m sorry... it’s all my fault...”

“If it weren’t for me, sister wouldn’t have been wronged so much... she wouldn’t be at odds with the family like this...”

“Cassian, Lucian, please don’t blame her. It’s all my fault... *sob*...”

Her crying instantly drew everyone’s attention.

Mr. Hart’s brow furrowed with concern. “Lilian, how can this be your fault? Don’t be ridiculous.”

Lucian slammed his hand on the table, glaring at Grace. “Look what you’ve done to Lilian! Her health is already fragile, do you have to provoke her like this? Grace, is your heart made of stone?”

Cassian quickly handed Lilian a napkin, comforting her in a soft voice. “Lilian, it has nothing to do with you. Some people are just too narrow-minded to see you happy.”

Grace watched the scene unfold quietly.

How familiar it was.

It had been like this for as long as she could remember.

No matter what happened, no matter who was right or wrong.

As soon as Lilian shed a tear, the scales of justice would tip in her favor.

And Grace would always be the villain, the one to be blamed and condemned.

She used to scream herself hoarse defending herself, cry in despair, and roar in agony.

But now, watching this clumsy performance, she felt nothing but a profound sense of calm.

It was like watching a third-rate soap opera that had nothing to do with her.
