Chapter 7

Chapter 7George’s eyes widened as he expressed his dissatisfaction with Angela’s actions. He angrily shouted at her, “Angela, this

marriage was arranged by your grandfather. Who do you think you are to make the decision to withdraw from it?” This showed

disrespect towards him as an elder, and George’s blood pressure soared. This girl was becoming more and more outrageous.

First, she ignored the words of her older brothers, and now she didn’t even care about him as a father. And now, she tore up the

marriage contract right in front of him as if she was stomping on his dignity!

“Angela, haven’t you caused enough trouble? Today is the day your sister is discharged from the hospital. Why are you being so

unreasonable? Can’t you learn from your sister and give us some peace of mind?” Scarlet came downstairs and scolded Angela.

Then, she looked at Fanny, whose eyes were red, and felt a pang of heartache. She reached out and hugged Fanny, softly

comforting her, “Fanny, you just got discharged from the hospital. You shouldn't be too sad. It’s not good for your health.” Fanny

obediently nodded and showed a gentle smile. Scarlet became even more worried. The family was just fine, but as soon as

Angela came back, chaos ensued. She couldn't bring herself to like her own daughter, and she was even a little annoyed.

Wherever Angela went, trouble followed. No one would like such a person.

Angela looked at her birth mother, who bore some resemblance to her facial features. Her calm heart started to churn again, and

a surge of emotions overwhelmed her. She tried hard to hold back her tears. When faced with Scarlet’s accusations again, she

couldn’t help but feel deeply disappointed. She fell down the stairs, and scenes from before her death flashed before her eyes.

She seemed to hear Scarlet say, “Once she’s dead, Fanny will be saved.” Angela didn’t understand why she, who was

biologically related to Scarlet, would always be treated as an outsider. James coldly snorted. “If only she had half the maturity of

Fanny, she wouldn’t have done such a thing.” Zacharias sarcastically added, “You think Angela can be compared to Fanny? She

doesn’t hold a candle to Fanny.” Christopher looked at Angela, a conflicted gaze in his eyes.

This woman was different from before. Facing the accusations from her family, she remained calm and even stopped trying to

please them. Suddenly, she became tough, and Christopher couldn't figure out what was going on in Angela’s mind. There was

no emotion in her eyes, which made Christopher feel somewhat annoyed. Samuel sneered at Angela. “Angela, how dare you

stand here? Everything was fine when you were gone. As soon as you came back, everything went haywire. Aren’t you

ashamed?” Faced with these accusations, Angela was too tired to argue anymore. She was truly exhausted and didn’t want to

stay here and annoy everyone. “Yes, yes, you're right. Fanny is the best, the most sensible. I’m the odd one out, right? | won't

disturb your family reunion anymore. I’m leaving.” Angela turned around to leave but was stopped by George, not for any other

reason but to save his dignity. Angela had gone too far this time and needed to be taught a lesson. “Angela, if you don’t explain

everything today, don’t think about going anywhere.

” George, who was still angry, stopped Angela. Angela turned her head, her eyes slightly red. But no one cared. Their hearts

were all focused on Fanny, so why would they care about her? “What do you want, Mr. Kins? Isn’t this what you all wanted?

Christopher and | broke off the engagement so Fanny could be with him openly. What else are you not satisfied with?” They had

been making a fuss for so long just for this purpose. Now that she had withdrawn, why did it suddenly become her fault? George

had never thought of making Angela break off the engagement. Although this daughter was disappointing, she was still his own

flesh and blood. Seeing his daughter feigning strength, he experienced a whirlwind of emotions. He longed to explain himself,

but the words became lodged in his throat, and ultimately, he remained silent. Disappointment filled Angela’s eyes. As she turned

to depart, tears cascaded down and landed on the back of her hand, sending a chilling sensation through her body. Just like her

heart in that moment, cold and devoid of any warmth. “Angela, what's the matter? Who mistreated you?”

At the corner of the courtyard gate, Joseph unexpectedly encountered Angela, who had just returned. Angela spun around and

forcefully wiped away her tears. She didn’t want anyone in the Kins Family to witness her vulnerable side. Joseph could easily

deduce what had transpired. Angela must have had another altercation with the household members. Angela had changed. She

was no longer the compliant younger sister. Joseph couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Angela. Taking three strides

forward, he let out a sigh and proposed, “Come on, let me accompany you home, and you can apologize to our parents and

older brother. After all, you are our own sister. | can assure you that they won't give you a hard time.” Angela regarded Joseph

with a frigid smile. “Do you also believe it was me who did it?”
