Chapter 371 Ghosts of Betrayal

In the years past, Amelia’s life took a turn that demanded sacrifice—or so she told herself. After her mother and stepfather died in a car accident, she was left as the guardian of her three young half-brothers. Though an adult, Amelia could barely support herself, let alone raise three children. For her, these brothers were a burden, and any sense of family obligation had withered long before she decided to send them to an orphanage. It might have seemed heartless, but to Amelia, it was a necessary choice. She never regretted it; in fact, she considered it a shrewd decision that freed her to chase a life unburdened by obligation.
