Chapter 57

“Useless!” Andrew coughed painfully, pointing at her and scolding. “Since you got close to Jasper, have you ever done anything useful for our family? We’ve been struggling for years. Yet, you haven’t gained any share of the family’s wealth or even gained the Beckett family favor! I don’t believe Jasper loves you. Having a daughter is just a waste of money!

Rosaline couldn’t conceive again after giving birth to her. That deepened Andrew’s disgust toward her. Liana grew up under the shadow of her older brother and tried to win Sophia’s favor to gain attention.

She lost her childlike innocence at a young age, learning manipulative tactics to secure a better future and gain her father’s approval, becoming a successful woman.
