As a result, I received a slap from my mother and was forced to apologize

When I returned home, famished and freezing, they were happily watching TV in the living room, with snacks covering the table.
I was driven crazy by this scene.
Rushing over and stomping on all the snacks, what I got in return was–a beating.
They say they are not biased, but they only care about Ashley losing her parents. Have they ever thought that since she walked in the door, I also lost my own parents?
Before my rebirth, I had struggled and tried to please them, even to the extent of jumping off a rooftop, but I couldn’t regain their love.

Chapter 2
From beginning to end, Mom and Dad only had Ashley in their hearts as their adopted daughter.
Since she was so good, they wouldn’t have cared if they had me as their daughter or not.
From that day on, I became a complete outsider at home. Every day, apart from attending classes, I would just do my homework. During meal times, they would all gather around Ashley.
The food on the table used to be what I loved to eat, but now it had become all what she loved to eat.
Just like before, Ashley’s collection of toys and snacks kept growing, while I could only play with her broken toys and eat the snacks she didn’t
want.

They would spend thousands of dollars to buy a laptop for Ashley, but all I wanted was a doll, and they would say, “Ashley has several of them. You can have one from her collections. Ashley is generous like that.”
Then I got a doll that Ashley didn’t want. But my parents didn’t think there was a problem.
Their love was always biased, as long as I didn’t cater to Ashley as they wished, poor Ashley, I would always be the odd one out in the family. In my previous life, my life had already been ruined, this time, I won’t be so foolish.
After the New Year, I would definitely make a great effort to prepare for the college entrance examination and strive to be admitted to a prestigious university. People may be biased, but the future of those who work hard and strive will not be.
On New Year’s Eve, my parents bought two sets of dresses.
When I was going downstairs, Ashley came over with a dress and asked me, “Katelyn, which one do you like?” In my previous life, Ashley and I had a falling out.
In order to punish me, my parents only bought new clothes for Ashley, which made me the subject of ridicule by my classmates for the entire semester. This time, I randomly chose one of them.
Ashley immediately said with a grievance, “Since you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
This annoying scene made me frown uncontrollably.
Parents could tell that Ashley was doing it on purpose.
Mom held up the clothes and fitted them on Ashley.
“Katelyn, you are the older sister, so you should be considerate of your younger sister. Let’s give this dress to Ashley and let her try it on for us, okay?”
She became more and more satisfied, and Dad and Kevin also joined in the fun, asking Ashley to go and change.
Ashley, however, hid in my mother’s arms and said, “Mom, it seems like Katelyn doesn’t really like me. Maybe I should give her back the clothes.”
Kevin, however, became alert and asked Ashley if I had ever bullied her.
Ashley timidly shook her head, her gaze turning fearful as if I had truly intimidated her.
My mother, after finishing reading, yelled at me, “Katelyn Lambert, didn’t I tell you not to bully Ashley?”
Why are you so disobedient? Look at what you’ve scared her into. Forget

about the new clothes, give them all to Ashley.
No matter how many times I tried, whether I fought or not, I couldn’t get this piece of clothing.
I thought that having experienced the previous life, I had already become accustomed to this kind of unfairness.
Despite my mother’s misunderstanding, I still felt upset.
“Suit yourselves,” I said and went upstairs. Only then could I prevent myself from shedding tears in front of them.
Even though I was their biological daughter, why is it that whenever Ashley cried, it was always my fault?
Dad shouted downstairs, “Katelyn Lambert, come down here and apologize to your mother. Who allowed you to speak like that!”
Kevin climbed onto the balcony and tried to pull me out, saying, “You were so stubborn, can’t you just accept Ashley? Both of her parents have passed away, and now we are her family.”
My wrist bone was squeezed painfully by Kevin. I guess he himself also forgot that he had once said he would protect me.
When the stalemate persisted, Dad asked him to take Ashley to set off fireworks.
He glared at me fiercely and angrily slammed the door as he left.
The four of them were outside setting off fireworks, enjoying themselves.
And I was just watching upstairs.
These are my parents and Kevin, who told me they wouldn’t be biased.
