Chapter 296 Long Hair, Short Knowledge
My husband’s sister is a typical example of someone with long hair but short sight.
Nemmington, who was not very sensible, fell in love with Luther, who seemed to have nothing but a good appearance when he was young. She insisted on marrying him, causing a big fight with her family in the end.
Later, they had a daughter who was also born with a congenital defect and was sick from birth. They all advised her to have another child and take good care of this one. If they could afford to raise her, they should do so; if not, they should let it go.
She refused to listen and stubbornly insisted on placing all her hopes on a child with congenital deficiencies. She even followed the cunning suggestion of the Stark family’s old lady and went to the orphanage to adopt a baby girl with the same blood type as Stephanie, as a “free blood bag.”
What did they say back then?
It seems like telling her, since you have already decided to adopt a child under your own name, then treat that child well. Although the child is not your biological child, as long as you treat them fairly and not go too far, there is no difference between the child and your own biological child.
She stubbornly refused to listen, while taking advantage of that girl‘ blood, giving Stephanie blood transfusions every month. At the same time, she looked down on the child who was brought back from the orphanage, never showing a kind face to the child.

Stephanie attended a private school, wore designer brands, and drove luxury cars.
The child attended a welfare school, wore the cheapest clothes, and took the bus to and from school by themselves.
A person in a family, always seeing each other’s faces, if this continues for a long time, what is it if not nurturing an enemy for oneself?
Sure enough, that child grew up and became distant from them, resulting in the current situation!
Gemma picked up the teacup and took a sip of floral tea. The taste was mediocre, and it was evident that the quality of the tea was average, not as good as the ones she had in Nemmington.
She glanced at the girl coming down the stairs.
With a height of 1.6 meters, he neither appeared tall nor short, but rather had a fragile and delicate appearance. Every movement and gesture he made revealed a sense of pettiness. His eyes, constantly darting around, gave off an impression of timidity, yet at the same time, it was evident that he had great ambitions.
Just like Leann back in the day!
She glanced briefly and lost interest, involuntarily recalling the other girl from the Stark family she had seen five years ago when she followed Karter back to Melcester.
The girl at that time was wearing a black T–shirt with jeans underneath. Her fair skin was as white as milk, and her appearance and temperament were flawless.
If we have to point out any not–so–good aspect, it would probably be her eyes. Maybe it’s because her skin is too fair, but her eyes appear exceptionally dark. When she looks at people, she always gives off a

wild and untamed feeling, like a wolf. Her voice is not loud when she speaks, but there is a hint of cunningness in her casualness.
In short, it was not the type that appeared obedient and easy to control.
But compared to girls like Stephanic who constantly make small moves, have little ability, and yet have big ambitions, she is more impressed by the girl from the Stark family!
So far, she had never seen a pair of eyes like that!
She glanced at Stephanie again and saw her casting a timid and pleading look towards her. She suddenly felt bored, and the tea in her mouth became even more tasteless.
Gemma put down her tea and averted her gaze, quietly listening to her husband and the Stark family couple talking.
“It’s impossible for things to be like this now. Why didn’t you listen to me when I told you before? Myrna is beautiful and smart. As long as you take good care of her, she will have a bright future, and you will also have face.”
Leann couldn’t stand hearing such words, even though she was in need at the moment. She couldn’t help but retort, “What does she have besides a pretty face? She has a gloomy personality and poor grades, what can sh
