Ch. For Adopted Daughter, My Parents Ruin Me Ch 1 For Adopted Daughter, My Parents Ruin Me Ch 1

After being exposed for “plagiarizing” my adopted sister’s song, a mob of rabid fans dragged me into an abandoned factory. They left me broken–my throat slit, vocal cords severed, fingers and legs twisted into grotesque shapes. 

When they found me, my superstar parents vowed to hunt down every last one of my tormentors. Their connections ran deep, their fury deeper. Even my CEO brother pulled strings, summoning the world’s top surgeons to piece me back together. 

Yet outside the operating room, my mother’s voice wavered. “Evangeline plagiarizing Julienne’s work was wrong, but… this 

punishment is too cruel, isn’t it?”

My father’s laugh was ice. “She brought this on herself. Ten years we’ve sheltered her, let her steal Julienne’s affection. And still, it wasn’t enough. She had to take her song too.”/ 

My brother’s agreement was swift, venomous. “She’s our blood, yet she’s spent years suffocating Julienne. This time, we make sure Julienne wins the Starlight Music Award–no matter what it takes. As for Evangeline?” A cold pause. “Dog vocal cords will do. Let her bark instead of sing.” 

The pain was a wildfire, but their words burned worse. Tears carved paths through the blood on my face. 

“Make amends to my family“, he’d said. 

Yet here they were, sacrificing me for their precious fraud.

Julienne had stolen my song. But they’d chosen their golden liar over their flesh and blood. 

This wasn’t a home. It was a gilded cage, and I was done with it. 

The surgeon’s voice cut through the haze, hesitant. “Mr. Montclair, with immediate artificial vocal implants, there’s still hope for Miss Montclair’s voice. And her limbs- if we don’t operate soon, the damage may be permanent. She’s a musician. Her hands, her voice… they’re her life. Should we arrange surgery for her as soon as possible?” 

“Delay it, my father snapped. 

My mother faltered. “She’s suffered enough. She can’t attend the awards now. She’s still our daughter–do we truly want her

crippled?” 

My brother’s reply dripped disdain. “Better if she is. No voice means no stealing Julienne’s spotlight. No legs mean she stays put. No hands?” A dark chuckle. “No more plagiarism. The Montclairs can afford to keep her if she learns her place.” 

He leaned closer, as if sharing a secret the whole world already knew. 

“Since she had the audacity to plagiarize Julienne’s work, she deserves every ounce of punishment coming her way. That Starlight Music Award was always meant to be Julienne’s.” 

“And she will be the next creative queen- unless someone finally puts Evangeline in her place. Permanently.”

“Who needs artificial vocal cords? Just stitch 

dog’s into her throat. Let her bark for the rest of her life.”
