"Brian, don't be ridiculous. Only you take her for a sister. Since she married Edward, the CEO of FX International Group, she stopped regarding us as her family. Why do you expect that she will admit she knows you? She doesn't want to know any of us, her poor relatives now." Mary resented both Brian and Daisy for the difference in the ways Brian treated Daisy and her. They were both his sisters, but Brian always favored Daisy and treated Mary as a stranger. Why was Daisy so perfect for him?
Really? You'd better wish I wouldn't find out that this matter involves you. Otherwise, you can imagine the consequences. I'm not threatening you. Things are different now. I'm not a little boy anymore. I can handle you." Brian still looked a little childish, but his words sounded ruthless. He stared at Mary gravely, half smiling, half serious.
Why? Why everyone likes that bitch so much? What about me? Brian, I'm also your sister. Why are you biased against me?" Mary couldn't take the unfair treatment anymore. She screamed hysterically. Two men had threatened her because of Daisy in these two days. She was filled with hate and envy, and she finally lost control over her emotions.
"Sister? Mary, don't taint this sacred word. It is a waste to use it on you. To get others' respect, you got to be honest first, then we will see whether you deserve it or not, " Brian said to Mary. Earlier, he hadn't been strong enough to fight against Mary, but now he was, and so he would. He had put up with her for many years. He had watched how she bullied Daisy since he was a little boy. Back then, he wasn't strong enough to protect Daisy, all he could do was to reduce Daisy's sufferings. Now that he had grown up, he wanted to see how aggressive and arrogant Mary could get.
You ... You ... Brian, what did that bitch Daisy do to you? Why are you protecting her so much? Look carefully. I'm your biological sister who shares the same mother with you. Daisy is just an outsider." Mary hadn't seen Brian for many years. She didn't understand why he suddenly turned against her. He didn't like her before either, but at least he wouldn't talk to her in such an impolite tone. The change was overwhelming for her.
"Haha! Who would think the money coming out of the ATM belongs to the ATM? Of course, it belongs to the person who inserted the card. So who do you think I should be close to? Sis Daisy or you, the ATM that is everywhere on the street?" Brian said sarcastically. He glanced at Mary, laughing insolently and disdainfully. Mary was devastated.
"..." She glared at him, her face turning pale instantly. What Brian had said was true. She couldn't say anything in reply. She gritted her teeth and kept cursing Daisy in her heart. She blamed her for everything. 'If Daisy doesn't exist, I wouldn't have been subjected to so many humiliations, ' she thought.
"Do you really care so much about Daisy? What if she isn't your sister? Would you still like her?" Mary bit her lips lightly. She had overheard that Daisy wasn't Leo's biological daughter. Growing up, she had always been curious why Leo didn't care at all when she was bullying Daisy. And no wonder he hadn't stopped Mary and her mother from kicking Daisy out of the house. Now it all made sense. But, if Leo wasn't Daisy's father? Who was? Perhaps Daisy's mother had cheated on Leo? She had suspected it more than once. But she couldn't confirm it.
"Yes, I'll protect her even if she isn't really my sister. I won't allow you to scheme against her as long as I am around. Is this what you want to hear?" Then he thought, 'Daisy isn't dad's daughter? Mary, do you think I am as ignorant as our dad? Mom has been lying to dad for years, but he doesn't have a clue. I can't defy her because she is my mom. That's why I have been keeping it a secret. If it were someone else, mom's scheme would have been revealed a long time ago and she wouldn't have been leading a comfortable life like a queen.'
"But you saw Daisy and she pretended she doesn't know you. See? Brian, you think about her, so what? She doesn't even care. You are just insulting yourself. You think I'm not good enough to be your sister? I couldn't care less to have a stupid brother like you. Go and find your dear Sis Daisy! Get out of my way!" Mary started laughing uncontrollably and thought, 'Why do I have to lose to that hateful Daisy in everything? First, in family background, then in marriage. She got married to prince charming Edward easily. Now, my only brother has also picked her side and started to insult me. She has got everything but is still pretending to be righteous and miserable as if everybody owes her. How repulsive!'
How Daisy treats me is an issue between her and me. It's none of your business. You better remember my warning. If you dare play your dirty tricks, I will be merciless." Brian sneered. The bright smile on his face had been replaced by frigidness and cruelty. He turned around and left without one more glance at Mary. His slender figure could give people chills even in the morning sunshine, which proved how much he despised Mary.
Humph! To hell with your so called sister! If we weren't related, you wouldn't live her either! I would have kick you out too. Don't preach your ridiculous relative theory to me. If you don't like me, so be it. I'm not obligated to kiss your ass.
Mary stood there and swore. Full of malice, her pretty face turned hideous. Daisy! Daisy! Why does everyone think of that damn Daisy only? Does anyone ever think of me? I'd love to see how you would protect her if she didn't exist anymore!
Hate made a heart ugly and a person reckless. A person blinded by resentment would do everything to achieve his/her purpose, even at the cost of human kindness. Consequently, such people embarked on a road of no return. When they wanted to head back, their chances would be gone.
