The night before being abandoned, I got up and went to the bathroom.
When I passed by the master bedroom, I heard my parents arguing.
"Throw her out in a few days! You're pregnant now. We can't afford to raise two children!"
"But... Harley is my daughter. I can't bear to..."
"If you can't bear to throw her out, then leave with her! Since she was born, nothing has gone well for me! She's a jinx! Do you know?"
Their argument was loud. Then Elsie said, "Fine! As long as you promise not to drive me away, I'll do whatever you say! I'll send Harley away in the next few days!" Hearing that, I silently cried and ran back to my bedroom.
I knew why Jack wanted to get rid of me. It was not because he couldn't afford to raise two children. I took a sick leave and went home a day ago and accidentally overheard him and my aunt, Thea Holden, talking in the bedroom.
Thea smiled sweetly and said, "When will you deal with Elsie? I can't wait!"
Jack said, "Wait till she gives birth. In that way, after she dies, you can torture her kids slowly while having her money!"
