Chapter 2 Demanding An Explanation Upon hearing the news, Angela was initially stunned, and
suddenly, some vague memories became clear. In 2004, she was nineteen years old and had just
started university. On the way home with Fanny, they encountered a few gangsters, and both of them
were injured while resisting. Although Angela was more seriously injured, her entire family thought it
was all her fault and sought justice for Fanny instead. Her forehead was cut open and stitched up,
while Fanny only had a small bump on her forehead.
However, Angela was accused of ‘instigating the gangsters to harm her sister.’ In her previous life, her
so-called father had questioned her in the same manner. She tried to explain and apologize, but all she
received was cold indifference. No one would believe her words. So, this time, she didn’t plan to
explain either. After all, no one would believe her even if she did. Angela regained her composure and
asked calmly, “But did she die?” George’s pupils contracted; he paused for a moment and then angrily
shouted at Angela, “Angela, that’s inhumane!
How can you be so malicious and curse your sister to death?!” Angela’s oldest brother James was
even more furious. He rushed toward Angela and glared down at her. “Angela, I can’t believe our family
has someone as malicious as you. We shouldn’t have brought you back in the first place. We should
have let you fend for yourself outside.” Angela simply looked deeply at him without saying a word.
Several other brothers wanted to accuse Angela, but they were stopped by Scarlet. Sitting by the
hospital bed, holding Angela’s hand, Scarlet smiled tenderly. “Angela, I know that you have suffered a
lot since you were little because you were mistakenly taken away. After we brought you back, we have
been trying to make it up for you and let you continue your studies. Now you are in university. Many
girls your age don’t even have the chance to go to middle school or high school. You should be
grateful.” Scarlet’s eyes gradually turned red as she continued. “You shouldn’t have harmed your sister
like this.
Reputation is more important than life for a girl. Although she was switched at birth, she was raised by
us since she was young. I treat you all equally, so you shouldn’t have any prejudice against her, okay?”
It was grand, but looking at the hypocritical face in front of her and recalling what Scarlet said before
she died, Angela felt a chill in her body and mind. It was colder than holding an ice block. The
opportunity to study given by the Kins Family was indeed quite rare.
But is it not to silence those gossipers and show off that every member of the Kins Family is a college
graduate, right? Fanny lives in the princess room while I live in the storeroom. I have leftovers for
meals and only have hand-me-downs from Fanny. And they have the audacity to say that they treat
both of us equally? Is this a joke? Moreover, Angela was injured like this, and they not only showed no
concern but also came specifically to interrogate and blame her. Without understanding the situation,
they only knew how to blindly blame her. Angela sneered and didn’t want to say a word. Samuel, the
fourth son in the family, couldn’t bear it anymore and shouted at Angela, “Angela, you’ve gone too far!
You’ve done such outrageous things to Fanny, and you still dare to say it’s not your fault? It’s fine if you
usually cause trouble, but now you even curse her! You’re evil!” Zacharias, the third one, also chimed
in, “Angela, don’t be ungrateful for the blessings you were born into.
Everything you have now was given to you by the Kins Family. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do
you really want to drive Fanny to death before you’re satisfied?” Joseph, the second, opened his lips,
wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. However, disappointment was clearly
written on his face. Angela calmly withdrew her hand, her eyes calm. She turned her head to the side,
no longer wanting to argue with them. For those who didn’t believe in her, she felt that saying even one
more word was a waste. “I’ve heard everything you said, so how do you plan to punish me?” Angela
asked. As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent. It seemed that they hadn’t expected
Angela to say this, and Scarlet’s eyes showed a hint of dissatisfaction. George sighed and said, “Since
that’s the case, I need you to give Fanny the opportunity to deliver the Brundelian speech. You can take
a break for now and apply next year.” The reason Angela applied for this Brundelian speech
competition was because of a boy named Christopher.
She wanted to have more contact with him. Although she didn’t particularly like her major, she had Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
been studying very hard for Christopher, and everyone could see that. Everyone present thought she
would cry and make a fuss, but who knew… Angela smiled and said, “Okay.” Her answer was too
quick, leaving everyone a bit stunned. “Anything else Fanny wants? I can give them to her too.” From
childhood to adulthood, such things had happened too many times, and Angela always thought that if
she endured it, it would pass. However, she realized now that she had been wrong. Taking a step back
didn’t always lead to better prospects. Sometimes, it would just make her bullies corner her further.
