Chapter 307 - Side-Character Cinderella (3)

Sarah's Father Daniel Michel walked downstairs all the way down to the kitchen to his in-laws. He saw the distance face's they had on and signed. His stepdaughter where already in their room. While his wife was sitting their getting a lecture from her mother a part of her face was bright red. Indicating she was slapped.

"I'm disappointed to the nines Karla, what you did is in no way right. Abusing a child….." Karla's mother said.

"I didn't abuse her" Karla defending her actions.

"Everyone likes to have our fun, but, when you are laughing while a child is in miserably because of you that is abuse. You're a mother how would you feel if your daughter where treated the way you treated your stepdaughter."

"It wouldn't happen"

"But, what if it did."

"It wouldn't" Karla said in a nasty tone.

"Don't take that tone with me." Her mother said wide-eyes and wondering what she raised. "That girl is still someone's daughter, even if not yours, she still is."

"That women is dead!" Karla yelled.

"….' The room froze, as Karla's mother gave her a sharp gaze.

"She maybe gone, but that still gives you no right to treat her baby the way your treated her. "

"…" Karla gritted her teeth, not seeing anything wrong. But, hated being confronted for her bad behavior.

"…." Karla's sensible mother sighed with a very hurt expression. "Karla from now on I don't want to see you or the girls at any family events."

"WHAT?!" Karla stood up abruptly. "That's not fair, my girl's don't deserve that….." She went on a rant about how it was unfair to her and her girls. Her three older brothers where wide eyes, at their sister acting like a brat and throwing a tantrum. Her father just looked depressed and wanted to disappear. While her only Sister shrugged her shoulders and left the room to go upstairs.

"Yes, it' not fair. But, it is necessary. I should not need to punish my 32 years old daughter on what is morally right and wrong. I should not have to punish my two granddaughters, but they had so obviously taken after her mother that can stand here and throw a tantrum, and worst of all not even admit she was wrong." Karla's mother finally said. "Now we'll help you clean up the birthday party and then we will leave."

Daniel was off to the side, in his own world. He wasn't listening to any of this as he repeated in his head on how much he screwed over.

Karla's sister had come out of the bedroom of her eldest niece, she looked frustrated, her sister was always a torturous and entitled brat since young. Back then people used age as an excuse for her arrogance, her mother had always known better, and tried to punish her for it. But their Dad always rejected it.

She is not surprised that her niece is also awful, she also isn't very shocked that her sister would treat her stepdaughter badly. She looked at the step-toward the attic gave a look of party and walked downstairs to help clean-up the party. Her Dad, loved to spoil Karla, while her mother was always stricter. This had always caused a lot of fights between her parents.

Karla's Sister is the black sheep of the family, due to her sister antics. This is the first family gathering she has been to in years. Now, she knows she is never coming back.

While Cleaning they all heard Karla's yelling and ranting at them. Karla's sister had enough and left first, ultimately hearing her calling her a B***, as she walked out.

Karla's brother's left quietly, without saying much along with her parents, it seems that her mother and father will be going through a long cold war.

Gaze was half-asleep when Karla busted into her room, she was in her night dress and was so mad she could take it anymore and needed a punching bag. Gaze was looking at her ranting at her but she really wasn't looking at her just still lost in thought.

Eventually when the women saw that she couldn't make her cry she left saying she will increase her chores. In the morning Gaze followed, the original's routine and got up at four to hand out the papers in the neighborhood. One of her first part-time jobs.

Getting to the male leads house she saw a muffin and a bottle of water on the side. The male lead had been doing this ever since he found out she was working as the paperboy. She picked it up and took it with her while delivering the papers.

By the time she got home it was just six thirty and she needed to get ready for school. Usually after she comes back Sarah would make breakfast for everyone, because she was upper earlier to work and her stepmother used this as an excuse to not get up early.

Gaze is of course not going to do it, she only made coffee. To which she happily drank while watching the sun rise. Before heading out to school.

School was relatively quiet, and peaceful. Sarah was a loner and kept to herself, so this was easy to follow. The male lead often spared her some glances, but, Gaze ignored them and focused on other things.
