Chapter 143 Burning Scar
+8 Pearls
“You know how our principal operates. If our parents don’t show up for the parent-teacher meeting, he'll make a
public announcement the next day. | remember Charmaine being called out like that for three whole years.
As he spoke, something else cto mind.
“Oh, and she’s really pretty, so she attracted a lot of attention at school. She was close to the school hunk.
Daniel, and plenty of girls who had a crush on him gave her a hard tbehind her back. Every tsomething
happened, their parents would storm into the office, but no one ever showed up for Charmaine. | passed by the
office a few times and saw our homeroom teacher berating her, jabbing her forehead like she was worthless...
Tsk, back then, | thought maybe her family favored boys over girls. But now that | think about it, those parents
who raised the wrong daughter are downright heartless. If Charmaine’s been treated like this for so long, they
must be to bltoo.”
Milo listened, and every word felt like a burning scar searing into his heart.
Bennett and Sophie are monsters!
His eyes darkened to the extreme.
They had known all along that Charmaine wasn’t their daughter and that Leah was their biological child.
Leah had been living a wonderful life with the Nelsons, pampered by the whole family-Bennett surely knew that

Yet, despite knowing they'd taken the wrong daughter, they never treated Charmaine like a human being.
All these years, Leah had never suffered even the slightest grievance, but Charmaine... her experience had been
entirely different.
If they had just protected Charmaine a little, and shown her even a shred of kindness, she wouldn't have been
caught up in endless rumors. She wouldn't have been misunderstood as a bad person, nor seen as selfish,
greedy, and constantly vying for Leah's place.
Thinking back, Milo felt like an utter fool.
Charmaine never needed to fight for anything-everything should have been hers from the start.
Unconsciously, Milo recalled all the things Charmaine had been through with the Nelsons, how she had left so
decisively. The pain in his chest becunbearable.
Suddenly, he felt ashamed and disgusted with himself.
He had no right to judge her and Emyr
They fell in love freely, mutually recognizing each other as an engaged couple. Emyr could rightfully stand by
her side and protect her.
Meanwhile, as her so-called brother, Milo had squandered even the identity he once had.
His shoulders slumped in defeat. Jared patted him on the shoulder and grinned. “Con, man. Even if you
don’t have a sister, you've still got me. Let's drink until we drop tonight!”

In the car, Charmaine finally snapped out of her thoughts, still feeling a little dazed.
After mulling it over, she scooted closer to Emyr. Feeling it wasn’t enough, she slid even closer.

Emyr glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Charmaine immediately spoke up. “Mr. Emyr, just now you told
Milo | was your fiancée. What did you mean by that?”
The driver. Tad, was so startled he nearly swerved the car.
As expected, Emyr had fallen for her even deeper-he couldn't wait to make things official and hold on to
Charmaine tightly.
Charmaine felt a little uneasy.
Honestly, she was shocked when he said those words earlier.
Thinking back to the way he looked at her in the elevator, as if he was about to burn her to ashes with his gaze.
What if Emyr meant it?

“Does it bother you?”
Before Charmaine could think any further, Emyr’s voice pulled her out of her thoughts.
She instinctively looked up at his face. As always, his expression was deep and unreadable, his dark eyes giving
nothing away.
Charmaine thought for a moment and said, “Under normal circumstances, | think any girl would care about
something like this, right?”
Hearing her response, Emyr’s lips curved into a faint smile.
The anger he had been carrying earlier had completely dissipated, replaced by a warm and gentle light.
His gaze burned into her as he spoke in a deep, magnetic voice tinged with a hint of pride. “I just can’t stand
Milo. | figured this would help you get rid of a nuisance sooner.”
“Really?”
“Really.” Emyr’s eyes locked onto hers. “Does that answer disappoint you?”
“Why would it?”
Charmaine let out a big sigh of relief. “You scared me. | thought you were serious... Haha, you're clever, Mr. Emyr
