All Chapters of Raising Her Daughter: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Samantha Foster’s eighteenth birthday party was nothing short of extravagant.The girl I raised with my own hands had grown into a tall, graceful beauty. Yet between her brows lingered a sharpness and arrogance, just like Kim Foster in her younger days.In the crowd, she stood between Kim and Luke Wright, who was dressed in a tailored suit.And I, Kim’s lawfully wedded husband, stood off in a corner, like an outsider peeking in on their happiness.“Dylan, didn’t you see Luke’s glass is empty? Go pour him a drink.”It has been eighteen years. Being ordered around like this had long since become normal.Kim commanded me like it were only natural. It was as if I weren’t her husband, but just a convenient servant.I answered flatly, “Okay.”“Dylan, how can we let you do this kind of work? If people see it, they might think I’m bullying an honest man.”Luke stood there with one hand in his pocket, a playful smile curling at his lips, his eyes full of provocation.Then, he casual

With that, I pulled my suitcase and walked out without looking back, leaving behind the cage that had trapped me for eighteen years.Behind me, I could hear Luke’s smug laughter, followed by Kim’s dismissive snort.“Regret it? Without the Fosters, let’s see how many days you can even survive!”If anything, I was about to live a lot longer.I moved into an apartment in the city center that Grandpa had secretly left me before he passed. Sitting down, I let out a long breath.The truth was that I had tolerated Kim’s affairs all this time not because of love, but because of him.Back then, after my parents died, it was Grandpa Foster who pulled me out of the mud. He paid for my education. He gave me dignity.On his deathbed, he held my hand and told me his greatest wish was to see the family’s descendants grow into capable people.He said he knew Kim had been spoiled since childhood and couldn’t be relied on. If the Fosters were left in her hands, it would fall apart eventually.

“Kim, I have nothing to do with you now. I’m under no obligation to clean up your mess, and even less to play along with your act.”On the other end, Kim’s voice was still hoarse from her hangover. More than that, though, it carried her usual arrogance.“Dylan, if you’re trying to get my attention, at least come up with a better excuse.“Divorce? I don’t remember anything like that, and there’s no way I’d sign something like that!“Without me, you wouldn’t even be able to afford food. You’d really be willing to leave?”Listening to her ridiculous confidence, I almost laughed.“Kim, you were drunk out of your mind, but you signed it yourself. It’s fine if you don’t remember. Luke was right there…”“Enough!” Kim cut me off rudely, her tone full of impatience.“Stop talking nonsense. I’m giving you one hour to get back here and clean up the house! If you dare miss tonight’s dinner, don’t even think about setting foot into the Fosters again!“And hurry back and press my evening go

“Samantha, still studying? Aren’t you tired? Dad made some porridge for you. Have it while it’s hot.”Samantha sat at her desk, not even lifting her head. “Just leave it there.”Luke didn’t give up. He sat down beside her and let out a sigh.“Samantha, I know you resent me. But I didn’t have a choice back then.“The moment you were born, your grandfather took you away and handed you to Dylan. I only became the other man so I could see you more often.“That Dylan is just a servant. No matter how well he treated you, it was all for money, for the Fosters’ assets.“I am truly your closest family in this world. We’re father and daughter, connected by blood. In the future, won’t everything in the Fosters belong to us?”At those twisted words, Samantha’s hand paused on the page.She slowly turned her head and looked at Luke. A faint trace of mockery flashed in her eyes.However, her expression remained calm. There was even a hint of “moved” emotion.“Dad, you’re right.”She cut hi

Kim trembled with rage, her finger shaking as she pointed at Samantha.“You ungrateful daughter! I spent money raising you, and this is how you repay me? If I had known, I would’ve never given birth to you!”“Too late for that,” Samantha replied coldly.Seeing the situation, the lawyer delivered the final blow.“In addition, according to Sir Foster’s will, Ms. Foster has made no meaningful contributions to the company’s operations and has shown poor personal conduct, damaging the company’s image.”He placed another document on the table.“When Mr. Cooper acquires the shares, the remaining shares and management rights under Ms. Foster’s name will be transferred to Ms. Samantha.”“Effective immediately, Ms. Foster is relieved of all positions within Foster Group.”It was as if lightning struck.Kim’s legs gave out, and she collapsed into the chair.It was over, all of it.Without her shares, without her position, her identity as “Ms. Foster” became worthless in an instant.Pa
