'We can't do anything about it. After all, Trina will soon work at Bonita Research Institute. Since Gresham has someone as excellent as his daughter to support him, we can't pull him down from the family head position.' Gresham and Vera exchanged glances, intending to tell the family the truth. However, the rest of the family kept complimenting them. The couple could not get a word in edge-wise.
That was when Fernanda shouted, "Ahh!" Harold barked, "Why are you yelling? That's rude of you!" "G-Grandpa, look at this!" she showed him her phone and said, "Trina didn't win the Scientific Research Competition. Toby did!" "What?! Trina lost?! How is that possible?!" "It's true! I'm not making it up. Check your phones, and you'll see." Everyone took their phones and looked at Trina and her parents mockingly.

Should I let my daughter pick up on her shamelessness and lies?" Ysabel added, "I know I'm not as capable as Trina, but I live an honest life. I'm always truthful and would never claim to be more competent than I am." Trina blushed with humiliation.
"Hmph!" Harold scoffed. "Bonnie's destructive behavior must've rubbed off on you when she used to stay here. She loved making up stories and boasting about how great she was. Still, she's the miracle doctor.
"At least Bonnie has that going for her. What can you boast about, Trina? You're nothing but a slightly above- average student." "Your grandpa is right, Trina. Bonnie grew up in the countryside and picked up bad habits from the country folks. However, you carry a genes of a bumpkin even though we raised you. You're no better than her!" Yolanda's words were far harsher than her husband's.
Trina did her best to suppress her feelings. She glanced at her parents, only to see them standing far away. She knew they feared getting dragged into her mess, but even so, she was not exactly heartbroken. She long knew that her parents only ever wanted to bring glory to themselves. That was why they always defended her even if she was not their biological daughter. Instead, she was the daughter they could brag about.
Although Bonnie might be their biological daughter, she kept doing things to humiliate herself and the family. That was why Gresham and Vera hated her so much and even disowned her. Even the whole family was raised on such values.
They would put their family members on pedestals when they were valuable but treat them like worms when they ceased to be beneficial.

Avril held Bonnie's hands and headed toward the campus gate, sayingm "Bonnie to you have to visit my place for dinner tonight. My mom misses you."
Before Bonnie could respond, she saw Toby standing in her way she asked, Is there something I can help you with?" He frowned and said, "You're good. I'll give you that. I'm here to apologize for my earlier attitude." "It didn't botherat all."
"I don't get it. You're so good with scientific research. So why didn't you Ve participate in the competition?" "I didn't have to. That's that." His expression turned grim when he heard that.
