believed they were doing what was best for Arthur, it was always on their terms-his true desires never seemed to
matter to them.
At the height of his rebellion, Arthur discovered live streaming-it felt like a dam bursting, releasing all of his pent-
up emotions. He began to defy his parents’ wishes and developed a strong dislike for school. Whatever his
parents prohibited, he would do the exact opposite to spite them.

Aubree gradually opened her eyes. Just as the Morgan family reached a pivotal moment, Ronald made his
