Spencer was no better, pointing at Miranda's nose, calling her "an ungrateful child" repeatedly.

Hearing this, Lilah was immediately infuriated, losing any goodwill she had for the Hanson family.

"Sister, I miss you. Why haven't you come back to see me even once?" Justina spoke cautiously.

This girl seemed decent, at least lacking the aggressive demeanor of her parents.

Miranda replied coldly, "Is there any point in saying this now?

Do you really want me to recount all the distressing events from the past?"

She took a sip of tea, her expression visibly turning icy.

Spencer hesitated, his face equally troubled. He sighed, "Miranda, some things were beyond our control. We couldn't just watch as the Hanson family was pushed to the brink, could we?"

"So you generously sent me to an old man's bed, sacrificing me for everyone's benefit. What a brilliant scheme, Miranda remarked with a sardonic smile.

Lilah was stunned, a wave of anger surging within her.

She couldn't believe the Hanson parents could be so heartless.

"It was just an unfortunate incident. Later, you ran away yourself and even injured Mr. Chen. Our family almost had to pay three million in compensation. We didn't hold that against you, did we?" Emilee chuckled awkwardly, tugging at her husband's sleeve for him to speak. "Such foolishness.

"So, draining my blood to save Justina's life was for the greater good, forcing me to study medicine, begging a master for seven days and nights was for the greater good, handing me over to an old man was for the greater good, having Justina take credit for my achievements and become a renowned healer was also for the greater good...

Miranda's voice was not loud, yet each word was firm, filled with unspoken sorrow and indifference.

Lilah felt a pang in her heart, hearing Miranda's past hardships.

No wonder she had such a cold demeanor.

"You, day after day, why can't you remember the times we treated you well? Did we ever deprive you of food or clothing?

Enough of this, you ungrateful child." Spencer, now embarrassed and angry, pointed at Miranda's nose and cursed a few times.

Miranda scoffed, "I would love to remember a bit of kindness from you, but there isn't any. All I recall is you making me kneel as punishment on New Year's Eve, competing with the dogs for scraps, and even wearing clothes that Justina discarded..."
