Capítulo 26: Chapter 26: Want Him Dead

Qiao Zhiyi walked barefoot on the beach, feeling the fine sand beneath her feet, the salty sea breeze made her feel refreshed. Facing the sea, her state of mind seemed to broaden as well.

She found a place to sit and gazed at a distant bright light, her heart drifting towards it.

Since she received the call from her aunt, her tranquil world had been shattered.

Who should she hate?

Hate her aunt's family for using her?

Hate Shi Jingzhou for treating her poorly?

Actually, neither.

In the end, she hated herself.

She hated her lack of ability to protect her family, her inability to prevent others from bullying her.

If only she were stronger, she wouldn't be so easily manipulated by others.

Agreeing to replace Qiao Zhihuan and marry Shi Jingzhou was because she couldn't offer her family a better choice.

Living under the same roof as Shi Jingzhou was because she had no power to resist; she needed Jingzhou's status.

After all, others were using her, and she was also using them.
