Chapter 97 Driven Away By My Family
I paused and then left without looking back.
In this family, I was always like an outsider. No matter what I said, no one would care. Sometimes I
really doubted whether I was the biological daughter of my parents.
Back in my room, I didn''t feel sleepy at all. My mind was full of what my mother said to me tonight. Was
money really so important to them?
I tossed and turned restlessly on the bed and couldn''t fall asleep no matter how hard I tried. I picked up
my phone and intended to call Evie to ask if she was in a better mood today. However, as soon as I
unlocked my phone, a message came. It was from Brandon.
My heart skipped a beat and I quickly opened the message. I was looking forward to it and wondered
what Brandon had sent me.
"Call me when youe back tomorrow. I''ll pick you up at the station."
This was Brandon''s text message. He was going to pick me up at the station tomorrow...
My heart was pounding violently. At this moment, I couldn''t describe how I felt. Why did Brandon
suddenly be so considerate to me?
I was very confused, but I didn''t deny that I was happy to receive his text message.
"Okay, thanks!"
I typed this sentence quickly in the dialogue box and then pressed the send button.
Originally, I was in a bad mood because I quarrelled with my mother. But after receiving Brandon''s text
message, my mood inexplicably became better. My anger was gone.
I put my phone on the bedside and couldn''t help smiling. If Brandon wasn''t the president, if he were an
ordinary man, I would have fallen in love with him.
Although this man was overbearing and unreasonable, it was undeniable that he had helped me a lot. I
knew that he was not a very bad person in his bones. He was just used to putting on an indifferent
mask.
I thought that Brandon would reply to me, but apparently, I had thought too much. He did not reply to
me after the first message.
I fell asleep while waiting for his reply.
When I opened my eyes, it was already the next morning. After I got up and washed up, my mother
had prepared breakfast.
Camren had gotten sober over the night, but he still had the same sloven attitude.

I was so angry I wanted to p him when I thought that he had used more than half of the 100,000
dors to clear his gambling debts.
But I couldn''t do that. If I did, my parents would get angry. They had always spoiled Camren since he
was a child. If I hit him, my mother would definitely disown me.
However, if I didn''t provoke him, it didn''t mean that he wouldn''t provoke me. He picked up the milk
beside him and took a sip, then looked at me.
"Hollie, I heard that you found a rich boyfriend. Is it true or not? When will you bring him back so that
we can see him?"
I knew that the rich boyfriend he mentioned must be Brandon, but I also knew that he didn''t just want to
see Brandon.
"I don''t have a rich boyfriend. You think too much. And also, see him? More like see his money!"
I nced at Camren and said coldly.
"What''s wrong with you, Hollie? Why are you so angry in the morning? I was just trying to care about
you. Why are you talking to me like that? I"m your brother!"
Camren was also a hot-tempered person. When he heard what I said, he immediately became angry
and his voice was much louder than before.
"I don''t need you to care about me. You''d better care about yourself. You''re not young anymore. You
can''t fool around all day long. It''s time to find a proper job."
I frowned irritably. I didn''t believe that Camren cared about me at all. Although we were siblings, he had
caused so much trouble for so many years, and my patience for him had been worn out.
"Mom, look at her! Why is sheining when you didn''t even say anything?"
Camren looked at our mother andined with an aggrieved look.
I was already very polite when I spoke just now. I just wanted him to improve a little.
"Camren is still young. He''ll mature a little more in two years. Hollie, let off of him a little. Who hasn''t
made mistakes in their youth?"
My mother always protected Camren when he felt aggrieved.
Camren''s current state had a lot to do with my mother''s protection of him since he was a child. If she
hadn''t spoiled him so much, how could he be like this now?
"This is not just a mistake, Mom, can you stop protecting him?"
Looking at my mother''s distressed look, I felt a little disappointed.
When Camren talked back to me, my mother never said a word on my behalf. In front of her, the wrong
person will always be me."
"Hollie, what is wrong with you? Why are you picking on your brother since you came back? What did
he do to you?"
Every time I mentioned Camren''s faults, she would get angry with me.
I suppressed the dissatisfaction in my heart and lowered my head to eat silently. In this house, I would
always be like an outsider. I didn''t know why they treated their children so differently. Was it because I
was a girl and not a boy?
"If you don''t like your brother, you can go back to the city after breakfast."
My father, who had been eating silently and did not speak, suddenly spoke. But what he said seemed
to give me a heavy blow again.
"I see. I''ll leave after breakfast."
My nose twitched and tears welled up in my eyes. What my dad said just now made me feel worse
than beating me.
Just because I said a few words to Camren, they wanted to drive me away. At this moment, I really
wanted to stand up and question them loudly whether I was their biological child or not. Why did they
spoil Camren since he was a child but treat me differently?
But no matter how angry I was, I still held it in. I finished my breakfast quickly and packed my bags to
leave.
"Hollie, I know that you are very tired when you work outside, and you have to send money to your
family. But Camren is still your brother, he''s the only heir of the Hunter family."
When I was about to leave, my mother came to me with a guilty look.
If it had been in the past, I would have endured my mother''s words. After all, favouring sons over
daughters was just the way it was. But when she said this, it just made me sadder.
