They Called Me Daughter While Planning My Downfall novel Chapter 2

When I opened it, I found the video of my abuse had been posted on all the major school forums.

Below the video were numerous slanderous comments.

【The person in the video is Stars Hayes, I know her. She's always been so provocative. She totally deserves this!】

【I can vouch for it—her personal life is a mess. She targets others at school, she's so vicious.】

【I wonder what her CEO dad thinks seeing his daughter end up like this?】

Each malicious comment felt like a sharp knife stabbing into my heart, making my body tremble with pain.

My brother, heartbroken, quickly covered my eyes. "Stars, don't look."

My dad snatched the phone away, furious, cursing loudly. "Steve Hayes, what the hell is going on? Didn't I tell you to handle this?!"

My brother, feeling guilty, said, "I already blocked the message, but someone still managed to secretly film it. Stars, don't be afraid, I'll get all those videos taken down right away!"

They coordinated so perfectly, their acting so believable, every detail making it impossible for me to see through their facade.

But it only made me feel disgusted!

My dad squatted down in front of me, his gaze sincere. "Stars, no matter what happens, you'll always be my precious daughter, the one I hold in the palm of my hand!"

My brother nodded as well. "Yeah, I will always love you!"

The video was quickly taken down.

But by then, many had already downloaded and shared it, spreading it everywhere.

My reputation was completely ruined. Even if my body recovered, I could never return to my old life.

And there was no chance of going back to the stage, chasing my dream of dancing.

After the doctor finished checking me, his expression turned grave. "The patient has multiple fractures in both legs, two broken ribs, and some burns on her arms."

"The most severe injury is...her face has been slashed with a razor blade, leaving over ten deep cuts. It's a moderate case of disfigurement…"

Dad's face turned grave, and he froze in place. "Moderate disfigurement?"

My brother's eyes turned red. "How...how could this happen?"

They used a razor blade and slashed my face mercilessly. I knelt on the ground, crying and begging them to stop, but no one answered my cries, no one could save me.

That day and night would become my eternal nightmare.

"Doctor, no matter the cost, you must heal my daughter!"

The doctor nodded. "We'll do our best."

For the first time, my proud dad shed tears in front of me. "Stars, don't be afraid, I'll make you the center of attention, a princess everyone will admire!"

But I no longer believed him.

After my dad and brother went off to handle things, I pushed my wheelchair out of the room and dialed the international number.
