Frances and Claudia were kneeling outside the ward while Daniel fumed. He smashed the glass on the water, which then shattered on the ground.
Although he was not loud, his voice carried authority. “You

“Dad, I know Claudia did something wrong. spoiled her too much when she was younger he lost her temper. At the end of the day, I’m also responsible for her actions as her brother.
“Let me send her abroad. We’re siblings, so I have to help her look for a husband whom she can rely on for over…”
At the door, Claudia sobbed. “Dad, I know I was wrong. But, Nick, I don’t want to leave the country…”
Frances was also crying and pleading. “Daniel, considering how I’ve taken care of you and our family so well, can’t you forgive Claudia just this once? I promise to discipline her properly. If she has to go abroad, so be it!”
The entrance of the VIP ward was in total chaos. Nicholas sighed helplessly, “Dad…”
“Shut up!” Daniel was panting heavily. His chest heaved with anger. Although our family would sometimes use small tricks in business, we always kept our feet on the ground. Has all your education gone to waste?
“Look at what she’s done! I’m already being lenient by not sending her to the police station! And you’re still pleading for her?
“If you want me to die sooner, just keep talking!”
I did not want to watch this farce anymore. The confrontation
between Daniel and Nicholas was their own business. Neither I, nor

But I could not explain or understand it. After all, I was not a mind reader.
The pain in his eyes was too obvious. It was as if he was accusing me of not believing that there was nothing between him and Claudia. Yet, I was still trying to pressure him at a time like this.
He hated me. My lips still hurt from his bites. But when I was surrounded by Nicholas’s sorrowful aura, I could not escape this depressing mood either.
Seeing a man. I had liked for so many years being so sad, I would be
lying if I said it did not hurt me too. But if I felt sorry for him, who would feel sorry for me?
Nicholas, how could someone want to have both women at the same time? I touched my lips and turned away dejectedly.
Claudia was sharp–eyed enough to see me leaving. She dashed over and grabbed my hand as she knelt before me.
“Arianna, I was wrong. I don’t want to leaver please, please help me beg Dad for forgive

“You should have been prepared to face all the consequences of your actions when you did them!”
“Is that so?” Her eyes flickered. She suddenly smiled mischievously. She whispered in a voice that only the two of us cc ild hear, “If that’s the case, you should die now, Arianna!”
