Novel - Drama Chapter 5
Angela wiped away her tears and said, “My sister refuses to eat the food made by the housekeeper. She claims she can’t eat it and only eats the food I prepare. In order to survive, I have to compromise.” Previously, Angela always believed that Fanny was picky because of her excellent cooking skills. Every time they had a meal, Fanny would compliment her cooking skills and express her preference for the dishes she made. Blinded by the compliments, Angela was oblivious to the truth. But now she saw things differently. Fanny was intentionally doing this, treating her like a servant and mocking her behind her back. As Angela anxiously left, several women couldn’t help but sigh.
It’s truly difficult to know a person’s true nature. They never expected the Kinses’ own daughter to live a life worse than a servant. It was truly a tragedy! Although they couldn’t fully comprehend the actions of the Kins Family, they understood the crux of the matter. All of Angela’s misfortunes were caused by Fanny. This adopted daughter, who usually appeared obedient and sensible, had a malicious side that no one could have anticipated. It was truly difficult to know a person’s true nature! The Kinses’ estate was expansive, adorned with various flowers, plants, and a few laurel trees. The fragrance of the flowers wafted through the air, refreshing and delightful. Upon entering the living room, the entire family was gathered together, exchanging gifts and laughing. It was such a harmonious scene that one hesitated to disturb their happiness. Initially, Angela intended to bypass the living room and head to her own room, but she was spotted by Fanny, who had sharp eyes and was walking towards her at that moment. Fanny affectionately took Angela’s hand and smiled joyfully. “Angela, you’re back. We have guests at home today. Dad bought a lot of delicious food to celebrate our discharge from the hospital. Your cooking skills are the best, and I love the dishes you prepare.” Everyone then noticed Angela’s presence. Observing Fanny and Angela getting close, they frowned, and their expressions turned sour. James was the first to approach. novelbin
He warily looked at Angela and then reached out his hand to Fanny, saying, “Fanny, come to me. Don’t forget how you got injured. Stay away from Angela. She will harm you.” “James, I’ve already said it many times. Angela definitely didn’t do it—” Before the conversation could continue, Zacharias
interrupted. “It wasn’t her who did it, but she allowed the thugs to bully you, Fanny. Stop defending her. You’re just too kind, which is why you’re being bullied by Angela like this.” Observing this unfolding scene, Angela remained silent and motionless. She simply stood there quietly. Samuel also approached and handed Angela a piece of paper and a pen.
“Angela, since you’re back, apologize to Fanny quickly and write a letter of reflection. When you make a mistake, you should act accordingly.” Glancing at the paper and pen in front of her, Angela chuckled. She took the blank paper and tore it into pieces, and the pen fell heavily to the ground along with her actions. No one thought Angela would do such a thing. Samuel’s face turned red with anger. “Angela, what are you doing?” Angela didn’t beat around the bush and withdrew her hand. “I won’t apologize or write a letter of reflection for something I didn’t do.” Everyone present was stunned, and a tall man in a white shirt walked over from behind Samuel. Angela looked up and saw Christopher, her supposed fiancé. So, he came to defend Fanny. Well, he certainly is quite passionate! “Angela, you’re capable of doing anything to harm your sister. Do you think you can deceive everyone and gain their approval by doing this?” Without any hesitation, Christopher approached and immediately started accusing her.
He believed that by doing so, Angela would compromise, apologize to Fanny as she had done before, and write a letter of reflection. But he seemed to have forgotten that Angela had just refused to apologize and tore the blank paper in front of everyone. It was as if she had undergone a sudden transformation, no longer paying attention to their words. Angela glanced at Christopher, a hint of mockery flickering in her eyes. She used to genuinely admire him, this man who seemed gentle and always wore a warm smile. She used to follow him around like a shadow, obediently obeying his every word, never daring to express any disagreement. And Christopher had always taken care of this compliant fiancée.
This seemingly non-existent affection had trapped Angela, making it impossible for her to free herself. When did this man start despising me so much? There was no trace of his previous tenderness, only endless accusations. “Christopher, don’t speak about Angela like that. She is your fiancée, so perhaps
she is facing her own difficulties. After such an incident, she must be feeling very upset.” Fanny stepped forward to defend Angela, looking at Christopher with clear eyes filled with confusion and a hint of reproach. Upon hearing this, Christopher’s lips curled into a cruel smile. “She will soon no longer be my fiancée
