Chapter 4

"Waaah, brothers, I truly never hurt little Daisy! I don't know why she would accuse me! Daisy accusing me is one thing, but why accuse *you*? Waaah, you're her own brothers! I think you shouldn't keep going against Daisy for my sake. If this continues, I'm really afraid..."

"Aunt Eleanor will make you all leave too!"

Hearing those phony, manipulative words, all six brothers' eyes blazed with fury! I was so terrified my mind went blank. Instinctively, I tried to bolt, just like before.

But I was too small now. Just getting off the bed was enough to give me a huge bump on the head. Not only did my escape fail, but I also made noise, drawing all their attention.

Liam roughly grabbed my arm, looking at me with cold disdain. "Hmph, such a manipulative brat at such a young age. She doesn't deserve it! I think she needs to learn a lesson!"

Serena dabbed at her tears, looking at me as if she wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Daisy is still so young, she couldn't handle that, could she? I have an idea. In our old village, we have a tradition of sending young children to live with poor families, where they learn hard work and discipline from an early age... Daisy is your own sister, and I only suggest this for her and your own good!"

"If you agree, I can contact someone from the village right away to pick Daisy up and help her adjust. What do you all think?"

They exchanged glances, seemingly ready to act.

My mouth was covered, preventing me from even calling for help. I could only watch helplessly as I was dragged away.

Just as they were about to take me out the door, a tall, uniformed figure flashed past on the landing.

"Young Masters! Where are you taking Miss Daisy?"

I breathed a sudden sigh of relief, whimpering and reaching out for help.

Thank goodness I had pressed the emergency call button by my bedside the moment I saw Serena reappear! They had arrived just in the nick of time. I shook my head smugly, thinking I was finally free of them.

But then Noah spoke calmly.

"There's a gala tonight, and Daisy is required to attend. What? Do we need your permission for our own affairs?"

Noah's single sentence made the nanny's face turn pale. She instantly lowered her head and retreated into the shadows. No matter how much I screamed, no one dared to help me this time.

I was dragged out of the villa and roughly shoved into a dark car. Lucas, the most timid, asked hesitantly.

"What if Mom finds out about this? The family will break our legs! She's the only girl in our Sterling family. Are we really going to risk being disowned for this?"

"If we're discovered, our lives will be completely ruined!"

Serena spoke up plaintively from the side.

"If you're scared, brothers, then maybe we should just forget it. I just worry that... Daisy will become even more unruly and bully you all later."

"She wouldn't dare! It's settled then. Daisy has been spoiled rotten since she was a baby; she's completely out of control!"

"Exactly! Why isn't Serena *my* sister instead?"

Serena smiled shyly, but her slender fingers secretly pinched me!

*Bitch, once you're gone, I'll be the only princess in this family. All the affection should be mine!*

*Blame yourself for being born! Why did you get all the pampering from birth while I'm just a nanny's daughter? Everything should be mine!*

But unexpectedly, I just blinked my dark eyes, then suddenly grinned and laughed out loud.

"Daddy... Hee hee, Daddy, save me..."

My innocent laughter echoed on the dimly lit road. In that instant, a tall figure appeared on the roadside, scaring everyone into a deathly pale silence.

"Mommy's not here, but Daddy's back!"

"And Daddy isn't as easy to talk to as Mommy, you guys. You're dead!"
