Chapter 4

A few days later, I went to the hospital, not to see my parents, but to flaunt my upcoming wedding to my sister.

"Rose Rivers, I'm going to marry Gabriel Knight."

My mother, lying in the hospital bed, was so angered she suddenly sat up, pointing at me with a trembling finger, her eyes full of hatred.

"Lily Rivers! How can you be so shameless? Are you trying to drive your sister to her death? Is this how you repay her for nearly sacrificing her life for you?"

"Are you really that desperate for a man?"

My sister, for the sake of Rivers Corp and to be with Gabriel Knight, had taken stomach medication like food to accompany clients for drinks, drinking until she vomited blood, just to climb to Gabriel's side and become his girlfriend.

In everyone's eyes, Rose Rivers and Gabriel Knight were a match made in heaven.

But I insisted on breaking them up.

I pulled open my collar, revealing suggestive red marks.

"That's right, I just don't want my sister to have a good life. I've slept with Gabriel Knight, and I'm keeping him."

My always gentle and kind sister burst into tears. The recent blows had already pushed her to the brink of mental collapse, and she had lost a significant amount of weight.

"Lily Rivers, I hate you so much... I hate you..."

"Hate me then. Oh, and I advise you to leave Cloud City soon."

I admired my newly done blood-red manicure, carelessly addressing their hatred.

"So you don't have to watch me marry your fiancé and go crazy with jealousy~"

Before Rose could react, my mother threw a pillow at me first, crying and shouting.

"You don't deserve the Rivers name! We were blind to adopt you back then! Get out of here!"

I turned and left the hospital room, closing the door to block out the angry outbursts, breakdowns, and endless crying inside.

Just as I walked out of the hospital, an egg smashed against my head.

The foul-smelling egg yolk dripped down my hair.

"Bad woman! Mommy, look! That's the bad woman from the news who stole someone else's husband!"

A little brat helping his mother carry groceries angrily pointed at me, turning to tattle to his mother.

"Child, let's go, let's go."

The woman first glanced at me, both fearful and disgusted, then quickly left, pulling her child's hand.

Not far away, the woman couldn't wait to say,

"Honey, in the future, never interact with people like that. It's too unlucky."

I was stunned for a moment, then casually wiped off the egg yolk and put on my new Bvlgari sunglasses.
