Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 958

She had almost lost her chance at an education entirely, nearly sold off for a dowry to fund her brother's life.

If it hadn't been for the Doyle family's sponsorship, she never would have escaped the Backwoods to attend Marington College.

No one had ever genuinely cared about her well-being.

Caleb felt the exact same way. His parents were always gone, working in other cities, leaving him to be raised by his grandmother.

When she got sick.

His parents moved on, starting entirely new families with new children.

They abandoned him, and they abandoned his grandmother.

The rest of his relatives avoided them like the plague.

The Doyle family had paid for his schooling, but that meant living like a dog under Bianca's heel, stripped of his dignity.

He had been forced to act as her ghostwriter, drowning in academic fraud just to survive.

In their minds.

The wealthy were all exactly like Bianca—arrogant, cruel, and completely disgusted by anyone beneath them.

But the Lancasters... they were entirely different.

They treated them like actual human beings. Like family.

Having survived the harshest environments, they were incredibly perceptive.

They could spot fake sympathy from a mile away.

But this was real.

Tears welled up in their eyes, their voices thick with emotion. "Thank you, Aunt Catherine... Thank you, Mr. Lancaster. You're so kind..."

"Oh, you sweet kids. Serena's friends are our friends. You have to come visit often," Catherine said, her heart breaking for them.

How much cruelty and judgment had these two endured to become so painfully insecure and sensitive?

They had clawed their way out of absolute poverty.

To make it to a prestigious institution like Marington College, they had fought a thousand times harder than the average student just to break free from the cage of their past.
