Chapter 1029
Sierra had secretly hired a man in his fifties to play her abusive, gambling dad.
Her hair was a mess, her clothes tugged and wrinkled in his grip. She put on her best desperate voice.” Let go of me! I just want to stay here and study! I don’t wanna ruin my whole life!”
The man growled, “What’s the point of a girl getting so much education? A woman’s real value is getting
married and having kids!”
Sierra widened her eyes in fear. “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to push me toward those
shady guys again? They’re all just like you–drunks, gamblers, and abusers! I don’t want to meet them!”
The man sneered, “Listen, sweetheart, someone’s already offered me six grand to marry you! Six

On the outside, Sierra looked like the perfect tragic victim. But inside, she was thrilled. The guy’s acting was on point–Oscar–worthy.
She darted a glance at Halsey, who stood next to Zada, quiet and watchful.
Sierra pinched her arm hard to squeeze out more tears. “Dad, stop! Let me go!”
Smack!
The man slapped her across the face, loud and sharp. Gasps rippled through the classroom.
Halsey’s brows furrowed. She stepped forward, voice steady and strong. “That’s enough! This is a school, not a place where you can do whatever you want. Leave. Now.”
Sierra bolted to her side, clutching her arm like a scared child. “Halsey, I’m so scared! Please don’t let him

take me home. If I go back, it’s over for me!”
She tried to cling to Halsey.
