That one hit hard. I saw it in her eyes.
In her past life, the billionaire never gave her a single share of anything. The entire family avoided her as if she were cursed. She never found a moment of peace.
[Don't get too full of yourself! Once I win Best Actress, I'll have my fans drag you through the dirt online. I'll crush you under my heel!]
Watching her twist herself into knots, I couldn't help but sigh inside.
[Why is it that every time you oppose me, you never see me as your sister?]
Then, Freya leaned close to my ear, her voice dripping with venom as she loudly voiced out. "It's your big day, Pearl. That freak adopted brother of yours is only putting on a front for everyone. Just wait and see. He'll shatter you, just as he did to me. He'll tear you to pieces and discard you from the Gardner family."
She leaned in and hissed the words in my ear, then stormed off as if she had just revealed some grand truth.
The thing is... she wasn't entirely wrong.
