Chapter 75 Nothing But A Disappointment

• MIMI
• I hated it—the mocking laughter that filled the air, the lingering looks of disgust. Every scoff, every muffled whisper grated on me like nails on a chalkboard. It irritated me, clawed at my nerves. I knelt before Amelia and Lilly, feeling completely excluded, like I wasn’t one of them—even though, legally, I was still a Remington. But it didn’t feel that way. It felt like day one all over again, when the two of them would go to any length, commit any cruelty, just to make me look bad in front of Devon. And despite everything they did, I stood my ground—until I married into the family, until we all shared a common enemy. And now? Just because I made a mistake—no, just because I got caught—they treat me like I’m nothing, like I’m the dirt beneath their shoes.
• Another laughter erupted from the two, I still perched my knees to the floor. My head bowed down in respect. Even though I couldn't see it, I could feel Amelia's stare on me, and the silence in the room confirmed it. They had finally taken their time to notice me—to see me. How insulting. My body tensed up. I bit my lips, lowering my body to a prostrate position.
