"I've always loved you. You're my only sister, so how could I treat you like that? Thalia, you might be going through a rebellious phase right now, which is why you think it's great to hang out with those

Henry was enraged by Thalia's seemingly indifferent attitude. He charged toward her, vehemently wanting to slap her again. Thalia would have surely ended up with a swollen face if it were not for Claudia's intervention.

Henry pointed at Thalia and continuously berated her, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have spoiled you! You have no achievements, yet you have the audacity to blame me and your sister? Do you know how much your sister has sacrificed for you? She stays up late every night to find study materials for you and organize your schedule, and what do you do? You hang out with those troublemakers who'll only ruin your life. I'm utterly disappointed in you, Thalia!"

"I know whatever I do is wrong in your eyes, so I might as well continue doing what I'm doing! After all, it's not like you want me as your daughter anymore!" roared Thalia in frustration, tears streaming down he face like a waterfall.

She stubbornly covered her mouth, refusing to let herself cry out loud.

Claudia felt a pang of heartache seeing her sister like that. "Dad, please stop scolding her. Thalia's just in a bad mood. Don't you know her temperament is most like yours?

"We need to sit and discuss this properly, Thalia. But you can't keep hanging out with those people. You might end up in real trouble if you continue on like this."

Claudia remained frowning. She could not pinpoint when her sister's opinion of her had grown so bad. She wanted to help her, but in Thalia's eyes, it seemed like she was just trying to please their father. Speaking up for her sister had also been misconstrued as having ulterior motives.

Where had it all gone wrong? They were supposed to be a family, yet they felt so distant.

"I don't want you to meddle in my affairs. You only care about your precious eldest daughter. If I had known it would be like this, I would have gone with Mom! Then I

constant criticism every day."

This statement struck Henry right in his most vulnerable spot. Overcome with grief, he clutched his chest and took two steps back.

"Why you ungrateful little brat! It's all

my fault for not raising you properly. Instead of being the dutiful daughter you should be, you're blaming me now? Well, I guess you got one thing right I'll indeed be much happier without a daughter like you."

Thalia let out a cold laugh. "You finally said it qut loud. I knew you only wanted Claudia, and not me. Sometimes can't figure out if you care more about your reputation than us. In your eyes, your pride is the most important! That's why you feel embarrassed by my poor grades and looks! Is your pride really that important? Fine, from now on, I won't embarrass you anymore. You can just take it as if you never had a daughter like me!"

With this, she slammed the door shut with her backpack in hand.

Claudia hurriedly chased after her, but to her surprise, Henry collapsed onto the sofa, which frightened her. Thus, she had no choice but to go back to take care of Henry.

"Don't chase after her. Let her face the consequences on her own. The reason she's so selfish and stubborn is all because we spoiled her," Henry said with a pained expression. Claudia looked distressed too. "Dad, why are you being so harsh on her?"
