Chapter 2
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 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.
