    Just then, a few beeps of car horn could be heard. Ss stepped out from the car, “Mr. and Madam


    Maxwell, it’s time to go.”

    Conrad then held Fia’s hand and led her to the car.


    Barbara suddenly yelled at them, “How could you doubt Britney!”


    Then, she rushed into the hospital to visit Britney. When she entered the ward, she held Britney’s hand


    and anxiously asked, “Your wound is almost healed. So, it’s time for you to be discharged from the


    hospital, right?”


    Britney nodded, “The doctor said I could leave the day after tomorrow.”


    “Then, you shoulde with me to thepany. We could make a pledge in front of Mr. and


    Mrs. Maxwell!”


    “Pledge? What for?” Barbara’s body tensed up.


    “Fia must have thought that you intended to woo her husband. This is why they want to fire. you! I don’t


    want to see you unfairly dismissed like this. So, let’s go make a pledge. Tell them that you would never


    fall for Mr. Maxwell, alright?”


    As soon as Barbara finished her words, Britney instinctively let go of Barbara’s hands.


    Barbara was stunned as she looked at her hands. She could not help but recall what Fia said earlier.


    This sister of hers… it was true that something was not right with her.


    “Barbara, I can’t do that.”


    “Why not? I’ve asked you before whether you’ve fallen for someone else. And you said you haven’t,


    right?”


    “I’m not a kid anymore. Can you please not be such a control freak?”


    “Control… freak?” Barbara could not believe what she just heard. It was as though she did not know


    her little sister anymore.


    Her little sister always relied on her. She would listen to what she said.


    “Yeah. You’re so controlling, so much so that I feel like I can’t breathe properly around you. No matter


    who I fall for, it’s my own matter. How could you ask me to make such a pledge?”


    Britney’s eyes turned cold as she went on, “Conrad is such a perfect man. No one would not fall for his


    charm! So, it’s not like it’s a sin even if I’ve fallen for him!”


    Barbara’s temple ached as she heard this. “So, you’ve indeed tried to go after Mr. Maxwell?!


    “There’s no promise that someone could love a person his whole life,” Britney answered with a


    saddened expression.


    “Barbara, I’ve loved Peter all my life. I really did. Yet, no matter how much I gave, he still


    would not give me the time of day. And I’ve endured that, all my life. However, I’ve grown up now! I’ve


    grown out of that girl who would give in to anything and not ask for anything in return! I don’t love him


    anymore! I am not in the wrong for falling for another man who’s much better than him!’


    Britney kept on with her rousing speech, trying to convince Barbara that she was just being too


    stubborn with her old ways.


    Feeling utterly helpless, Barbara fell to the ground and stared at Britney.


    “You… You’re not…”


    A frown curved up on Britney’s face as she saw Barbara’s reaction. She cautiously looked at Barbara,


    breathing as light as a feather.


    Barbara, feeling intense heartache, mumbled, “You’re not my sister. My sister is tenaciously good and


    highly principled. She would never say anything like this…”


    “I’m just attracted to Mr. Maxwell. This has nothing to do with my values!” Britney was so pissed seeing


    her “sister” like this. If she could, she wanted to crack Barbara’s head open and see just what was


    inside that thick skull of hers!


    There was no such thing as “moral” in human society. Everyone would do anything to gain benefit and


    profit! Yet, this Barbara kept acting like an old-school hag!


    “If Mr. Maxwell was still single, then this is all fine. But he’s married. What you’re doing right now is


    ruining another’s family! You’re trying to be his mistress! Britney… my Britney is not such a shameless


    girl!”


    “Fool! Your little sister is miles smarter than you!” Mr. and Mrs. Thomas stepped into the ward, scolding


    Barbara.


    Barbara was in shock. She had always hated seeing just how much of a sell-out her parents were! And


    now, even her beloved sister had turned out like this. It was like her whole world. had been turned


    upside down!


    “So, this is how it is, huh? Fine. So be it. Then, I’ll never acknowledge you all as my family ever again! I


    will never hurt anyone just because I have something to gain from it!”
