Chapter 26
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in an abandoned warehouse. The surroundings were filled with discarded materials, and a thick layer of dust hung in the air.
“You’re awake?
The voice sounded strangely familiar.
My hands and feet were bound, and I looked up to meet a pair of eyes filled with venom and hatred.
I was momentarily taken aback, then spoke. “Louise?
Louise seemed startled, but then her gaze turned bloodthirsty with excitement. “Hahaha… I can’t believe you still remember me.”
“How impressive, my dear older sister, that you can still recall your little sister.”
I frowned, my tone distant. “I don’t have a sister who likes to dig into her older sister’s kidneys and uterus.“”
Hearing my words, Louise suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, her eyes wild with madness. “Hahaha… Sierra Sierra, why do you get to live so well? Why did I become an orphan? Why is it you who is successful and surrounded by men?”
“That guy at the party today–he’s your new lover, right? You seem to like him a lot, don’t you?”
I paused for a moment, realizing she was referring to Darwin
Seeing my silence, Louise suddenly grabbed my chin, her sharp nails digging into my flesh. “Siemal You filthy woman! Why couldn’t you just stay in my shadow? It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault for stealing my spotlight!”
“I was the true young lady of the Ainsworth family! But whenever people talk about our family, they only remember you! Tell me, what gives you the right? You, a lowly adopted daughter what gives you the right?!“)
“I never wanted to steal anything from you,” I said flatly.
“On the day of the coming–of–age ceremony, I originally planned to leave the next day. But your parents were kidnapped, and Vincent went to rescue them. I stayed behind to repay the favor and take care of him.”
“Hah! You’re lying!
Louise’s eyes gleamed with malice and cruelty. “You deliberately got close to Vincent back then! You wanted to embarrass mo
“I was onginally engaged to Vince. But when I saw him fail, I ran away while you stepped in to handle the chaos, creating a stark contrast between us.
“Are you happy now? Satisfied? Do you get pride from others compliments?” she seethed.
It was only now that I realized Louise had seen my gratitude as an attempt to steal her spotlight.8
Even though I wasn’t the Ainsworth couple’s biological child, and despite their harsh treatment, I never resented them. After all, they raised
- me.
That’s why I stayed behind, voluntarily taking care of Vincent, and even donated my kidney to him.!!
Everything I did was to repay their kindness.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Vincent appeared, silhouetted against the light. When he saw that I was unharmed, a relief washed over his face
“You scum, les Sierra go now, or fill make you wish you were never born.”
“Don’t you recognize me? Louise asked suddenly, her tone was tinged with disbelief.
Vincent kept his eyes fixed on me. I don’t care who you are. If you lay a hand on my wife, “Hahaha your wife?” Lourse laughed maniacally. “Sierra, did you hear that? He called you his wife.”
make you pay
the price!!
I tumed my head away and said, “I’m in the process of divorcing him. He personally signed the divorce agreement.”
