Chapter 4

Who are you pretending for?

"Don't worry, I know my limits. Since this is your dad's arrangement, just follow along. I won't be so immature and ignorant."

"You go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you at home."

He breathed a sigh of relief and personally hailed a taxi to take me home.

He turned around and took Jennifer to the bridal store.

My mother and Thomas knew that Jennifer was coming home.

I started preparing dinner from noon.

The moment Gustav brought her in, they both gave a gift wrapped in cute pink wrapping paper.

I hid in my room under the pretext of feeling unwell.

Gustav walked in with a gift box.

The moment he put the bracelet on my hand, he took out a warm blue rose from his arms.

Kneeling on one knee on the ground.

His eyes were full of piety.

"I know that being with me means you have no status and that you have been wronged, but after marriage, I will still be your brother and will always live at home and accompany you as before."

"Quinna, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

I lowered my head and looked at the Hermes icon on the bracelet.

It just happened to be a gift from Jennifer’s bag.

"Okay, I won't be angry with you."

"Let's have a dinner together. Our family has been preparing for a long time."

The sound of blessings kept coming from downstairs.

My mother stood by the table, as embarrassed as a servant.

Gustav habitually ordered her to serve the food and serve the soup as if it was nothing.

The grievances pent up in my heart burst out completely.

I gathered together all the gifts he had given me over the past six years and threw them in the trash can.

The moment the trash can overturned, Jennifer suddenly appeared in front of me.

Looking at the mess on the ground, she smiled proudly.

"What, can't I take it anymore?"

"Quinna, you're even more useless than I thought."

"Yeah, what good things can a vixen teach you? Seeing your own mother busying around like a servant and not being able to sit at the table, it must be painful, right?"

I looked at her coldly.

"Get to the point!"

Jennifer pursed her lips and smiled with a mocking expression.

She took out her mobile phone, opened the chat history with Gustav and waved it in front of my eyes.

"By the way, you don't know yet, do you? Every night when you and Gustav are intimate, he shows me."

"If these videos were sent to your mother, would she go crazy?"

"One is her biological daughter and the other is her stepson from a second marriage. They actually have sex at home every night behind their backs at home ...."

"You dare!"

I couldn't hold back the anger in my chest any longer.

I raised my hand and slapped her in the face.

A crisp sound was heard.

Jennifer fell to the ground and smashed the glass frame.

Blood instantly overflowed from her palm.

Gustav rushed in and held the girl in his arms.

The look he gave me was full of anger.

"Quinna, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

"Jennifer kindly asked you to come down for dinner, what's wrong with you?"

Thomas' face turned cold on the side.

My mother nervously rushed to explain.

"Quinna didn't mean it. There must be a misunderstanding."

"Quinna, quickly apologize to Jennifer!"

Jennifer's eyes turned red as she threw herself into Gustav's arms.

"I'm sorry, I just came here to invite Quinna to our wedding. I don't know why she suddenly took action ...."

"Please, don't blame her, she didn't mean it."

The corners of my lips curled up into a sneer and I looked straight at the two people hugging each other.

He ignored my expression, his eyes full of coldness and resentment.

"Quinna, apologize!"

The nails dug deep into the palms and blood dripped down.
