An Agreement to Sever Parent-child RelationsChapter 1
Ever since I, Anastasia Donnell was a child, my parents always favored my younger sister, Olivia Donnell, over me. They hated me so much. In fact, they didn’t even admit me as their daughter before the public. So, I had to work really hard to get their approval.
I joined my family’s company, Donnell Corp., with my own hard work. Initially, I worked as a front-line saleswoman. After that, I was promoted to be the Sales Director because of how good I was.
Since I had to secure a big deal, I ended up drinking too much alcohol to the point that my intestine was perforated. I asked my parents to help me to call the emergency number that would help me to get to the hospital. However, I would never expect their response.
Their response was mocking me, saying that I acted like this to attract their attention. After that, they left me at home. Instead, they took Olivia out to celebrate her birthday.
When I woke up, I saw my younger sister proudly showing off a lot of luxurious gifts my parents gave her on WhatsApp stories.
[Olivia: Dad, Mom, am I really your most beloved and only daughter?]
My parents immediately liked and commented.
[Mr & Mrs. Donnell: Of course, baby! ]
After I survived my surgery, I would give them an estrangement letter. From now on, they and I would go our separate ways. That was it.

I, Anastasia Donnell, had just signed a big deal for the company.
When I got home, I wanted to share the good news with my parents. However, their response was scolding me instead.
“Gosh, you stink of alcohol! it's disgusting! Go take a shower! Don’t you ever show up in front of us like this!”
My sister, Olivia Donnell, covered her nose and said coldly, "Drunkard, you'll drink to death sooner or later!"
The moment I heard it, it felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over my head. My heart became stone-cold because of what they said. Through the door, I heard my parents happily discussing where to take my sister to have a big dinner party to celebrate her birthday.
I couldn’t help but feel sad deep in my heart.
However, that wasn’t my focus as I felt faint stomach pain that attacked my body. After that, I ran to the bathroom again and again to vomit until there was nothing left. Not only did they not care about me, they also thought I was noisy.
