Chapter 14
“You are not my brother. You only care about Dora, your sister.”
Crystal tried to get rid of the man’s hand.
For some reason, Antony felt furious. “I’m not your brother? Why, do you think that you’ve married someone and now you are capable enough you don’t need to recognize your own brother?”
He knew that being a widow right after marrying into the White family wasn’t a good thing, but he was intrigued by Crystal’s rude words.
“Do you want to draw a clear line with the Evans family?”
Dora felt that the situation wasn’t right. Antony’s temper was a little bad, but he always knew the limits. He wouldn’t lose himself easily. She pulled him away. “Antony, don’t be so mad.” Antony snorted, coldly staring at Crystal. “Eva said that you are pitiful, but I can’t see that.” For some reason, Dora felt very uneasy when she saw Antony getting mad at Crystal. If he didn’t care about Crystal, why would he be angry when she didn’t want to call him her brother? Obviously, he cared about her a lot. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Crystal, don’t be angry. Antony’s temper is a little bad, but he’s kind.”
Crystal silently rubbed her arm. Antony had grabbed her so tight, which gave her the pain deep to the bone.
Dora said in a gentle voice, “I didn’t know that you were back. It happened to be my graduation ceremony yesterday, so… if I knew that you were back, I wouldn’t go to the graduation ceremony. After all, you’ve lived in the rural area for more than a decade. It’s your first time to go home. We should be all waiting for you at home.”
What Dora said sent an important message to the onlookers. As soon as Crystal was brought back home, she was immediately sent to the White family. So, even if she was the Evans’ biological daughter, she wasn’t as close to them as Dora who had been living with them for more than ten years.
People didn’t need to think to tell the difference between the two daughters of the Evans family. One was the noble swan, and the other was just an ugly duck.
“It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to apologize.”
Crystal was very calm. There wasn’t even a teardrop in her eyes. She only looked at the altar in front of her. “The graduation ceremony is a big event in one’s life. Of course, family members must be present.”
Dora didn’t know what to say at the moment. She thought Crystal would get angry. Instead, the girl acted generously. How could she continue to provoke her?
She hated Crystal. Why did she have to come back?
As soon as this bumpkin came back, everyone knew that she wasn’t the real daughter of the Evans’, a rich family.
Ever since Crystal had returned, she had nightmares every night. She dreamed that Crystal had taken her family, her room, and her beautiful dresses…
If it weren’t for the fact that the White family wanted the Evans’ daughter, she would never agree to
bring Crystal back.
Four years ago, her father had mentioned this issue, and she had pretended to take many sleeping pills. If Crystal threatened her position in the Evans family in the future…
She would not let Crystal live anymore.
Crystal shouldn’t blame her for being ruthless. This poor girl was born into the wrong family. God had made her a rich lady for nineteen years. How could she go back to that rural village that had strong discrimination toward women?
Humans who didn’t act for themselves would be condemned by God. She would never give up everything she had now.
“Although you’re not angry, I still want to apologize to you.”
Dora stared at Crystal’s face, trying to find some emotions on it. “We are family. I don’t want to mal things difficult for our father and brothers. It’s all my fault. Please don’t mind…”
Then, she lowered her gaze, her eyes full of sadness. “After all, you are the eldest daughter of the Evans family, and I am just an outsider…”
