“What? Do you want me to hit you again?” Billy roared.

“You can beat me to death but I will not give you a single cent.”

“You... You damned girl! You’re trying to anger me and give me a heart attack, aren’t you? I don’t care, you’re going to give us the money whether you like it or not!” Billy pointed at Pearl and scolded.

Tears of indignation swelled in Pearl’s eyes as she shouted back at him, “You’ve always favored him just because he’s a boy! You give him the best you can afford, while I have to make my own money to pay for my university fees. What have you done for me?

“He wants to go to university, but we can’t afford it? Fine, I’ll borrow the money for him and slowly return it by saving as much as possible from what I earn. I spend as little as possible on myself. Do you know what kind of life I’ve been living? I’ve even fainted at work from malnutrition!

“My work only got better afterward, and I only kept a small portion of my earnings for living expenses. I sent everything back home to you, so what more do you want from me?

“And you, brat! What did you even learn in university, huh? You have shown not an ounce of gratitude, and now you want five million dollars from me? What do you take me for, an ATM? Let me make myself clear to you right now, I will not give you guys a single cent anymore from now on.”

She had never been recognized as a person of value at home no matter how well she performed, all because she was born a girl instead of a boy.

It did not matter if she scored first place in every exam, as her parents would never spare her any praise or recognition.
