Reclaiming My Crown Chapter 2

I just waited quietly, knowing exactly what kind of person Liam was.

Sure enough, just like in my previous life, Liam immediately tried to put me in my place.

He suddenly looked at me with teary eyes and asked, "Brother Dylan, why are you glaring at me like that?" He lowered his head, acting very disappointed: "I'm sorry, I never thought of stealing someone else's parents. If you don't like me, I'd better leave." Although he said this, he didn't move an inch from the sofa.

My father looked at me sternly: "Dylan, you'll be Liam's brother from now on. Get along well with him, understand?"

Emily curled her lips disdainfully: "Dylan must be jealous that Liam is smarter than him and feels unconvinced. Liam is different from his petty cleverness; he's a famous prodigy."

Liam's face instantly turned pale, hiding behind my mother and shivering: "I never thought of stealing Brother's thunder, it's all my fault."

My mother hurriedly hugged Liam to comfort him, looking at me with dissatisfaction: "Dylan, Mom has always taught you to be humble. How can you be so jealous?"

My father also shouted impatiently: "Apologize to Liam quickly!"

Liam lifted his head from my mother's arms, deliberately revealing a provocative expression only I could see.

I bit my lower lip tight, images from my past life flashing through my mind.

My parents and sister were just as aggressive back then, clamoring that Liam was their real family, ruthlessly cutting ties with me. They even fueled the fire when Liam framed me and sent me to prison, watching helplessly as I was sent to the execution ground.

I should have understood long ago that from the moment Liam stepped into my house, my family was no longer my family.

They were like bewitched by Liam, always standing unconditionally on his side, unmoved even as the family assets were embezzled by him.

I genuinely wanted to wake them up, but was labeled as jealous, incompetent, and petty, becoming the most ridiculed existence in the family.

The family was willing to walk into the hell paved by Liam, but I was different.

In this life, I want to live for myself.
