My Twin Sister's Boyfriend Loves Me

Tanya tried her hardest to remain calm and composed. After clearing her mind, she adjusted her sitting position and said, "I had to do something last night, so I didn't go. Sorry."

Hearing Tanya's answer made Leon's smile turn more mischievous. Thinking that she got the kiss mark on her neck last night, he only nodded and said, "No, you don't have to apologize. It's just a party, and you're not obligated to attend. Anyway, what's your name?"

Tanya, however, pretended not to hear his question and shifted her attention to the window. She didn't want to engage in a conversation.

Hearing no response from her, Leon didn't ask further questions. He focused on driving until they arrived in front of the white carved gate of the Yates family.

Seeing the modern European-style villa with three floors sent an indescribable feeling to Tanya's heart. Needless to say, the Yates family's estate looked nothing close to where she lived. Tanya's thoughts wandered for a second, but she quickly composed herself and turned to Leon.

"It's Tanya," she softly said as she opened the car door and said thanks almost inaudibly.

Leon got confused for a second until he realized she had merely answered his previous question.

Nodding, he thought, 'Tina and Tanya. Their names are almost the same.'

Not long after their arrival, the carved gate slowly opened.

The Yates family's butler, Mark Lewis, came out carrying a suitcase in his hand. Tina soon walked after him.

She was wearing white wide-legged high-waisted pants, a red sleeveless silk blouse, trendy sunglasses, and a white sun hat on her head. What made her even more compelling was that her long brown hair tucked underneath her hat moved gracefully in response to the refreshing breeze. Tina, as always, looked like a subject that had just stepped out of a painting.

The latter didn't know Leon was coming, so seeing his black Bentley surprised her. She was about to greet him when her eyes fell on Tanya, who had just gotten off Leon's car.

"Tanya?" Tina called, even deliberately taking off her sunglasses to check. "It's really you! Why are you with Mr. Darving?" she asked, immensely surprised.

When Tanya didn't answer, Leon replied on her behalf, saying, "I happened to come across her on my way here."

Even though Tanya reported almost everything that happened at the party last night to Tina, the latter remained doubtful.

Tanya told her Leon went to the VIP lounge to look for her but soon passed out from intoxication. Then, she claimed she left before Leon woke up, but Tina wondered if it was just a coincidence that they came into the villa together.

Not wanting to waste time, Tanya walked directly toward Tina despite the pain in her ankle.

"Tina," she called as she pulled Tina to the other side of the gate so that Leon would not overhear their conversation.

After keeping their distance, Tanya looked at Tina with a troubled expression as she said, "I came here because of our deal, Tina. You promised to transfer one hundred thousand bucks to me if I attend the party on your behalf. I did everything you asked for, but I haven't received the money yet. You are not answering my calls either."

Tina frowned upon hearing Tanya's purpose of visit. She looked at Leon first before rolling her eyes at her sister, saying, "It's just one hundred thousand dollars, Tanya. What's the hurry?"

Tanya's eyes started to tear up upon hearing Tina's remark. Unable to conceal her emotion, she snapped and said, "Tina, one hundred thousand dollars may not seem like much to you, but it will help me a lot. My mother is having her surgery this afternoon, so how could I not be in a hurry?!"

"Your mother?" Tina asked, raising her brows. She looked at Tanya sharply and added, "Tanya, she's just your adoptive mother! Our real mom died five years ago, and dad is inside."

With that, Tanya fell silent.

She couldn't refute her sister's words because Tina said nothing but the truth. Even so, she didn't give the latter the impression that she was okay with everything she said.

Seeing Tanya behave like that, Tina stood before her grimly, openly pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration.

The latter left the hotel in a hurry last night after having a frightening experience. It wasn't that Tina deliberately forgot the money she promised to Tanya, but she had a lot of things on her mind at the moment to still keep track of everything.

Now, Tina could not help but feel angry that her sister, whom she had made such an effort to get in touch with after such a long time apart, cared only about outsiders.

"Dad made a great offer to you, Tanya. He promised to pay for Mrs. Hart's treatment if you return to us and cut off your connections with the Harts. You could've dealt with your adoptive mother's surgery fee without difficulty, but why do you have to be so stubborn?" Tina snapped in frustration.

She didn't even wait for Tanya to respond and successively asked, "Why did you choose to stay beside Mrs. Hart? Why didn't you come back to us? Tanya, are you trying to embarrass dad?"

"Tina, let's talk about that next time, okay? I have no time to deal with such things right now. I just need one hundred thousand dollars, please? Or maybe you can give me at least half. I need it badly," Tanya replied with teary eyes, deeply concerned for her adoptive mother, who had been admitted to the hospital for half a month due to heart complications.

Tanya's adoptive mother, Nancy Hart, had a scheduled surgery this afternoon. But then, hospital protocols were there for a reason. If Tanya failed to raise enough money for the surgery, the doctor wouldn't push the surgery through. However, Nancy's heart condition could no longer tolerate delays.

One hundred thousand dollars was not even that significant to Tina, so seeing Tanya's teary eyes softened her heart eventually.

"I forgot your account number. Sent it to me again," Tina casually said, making Tanya's eyes glimmer in delight.

"Here, wait!" she exclaimed as she rummaged through her bag to look for her bank card.

Leon, on the other hand, silently watched the two from the other side after greeting Mark briefly. He was leaning against the car door, casually puffing on his cigarette.

Now that he could see the two together, he could tell their differences well. Since Tina was wearing high heels, she looked half a head taller than Tanya.

Leon couldn't hear what the two were talking about, but it seemed to him that they were arguing.

Tina looked dead serious while Tanya was panicking.

Leon watched them for a moment before putting out his cigarette and striding toward them.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked.
