    Chapter 787


    Peter felt as though his heart was pierced by a knife when he heard that.


    “Sally, I’m not the good big brother you think I am.”


    “But you’ll always be the big brother who guided me to have faith in the goodness of life. Because of


    that, I have turned out to be a good person! No matter what you’ve been through overseas, you’re


    always that good brother of mine. A person can be either good or bad. So long as that person is not


    rotten to the core, there’s still a chance for them to redeem themselves. and be good again.”


    Sally gave Peter her speech from the bottom of her heart. “Pete, to me, you’re a good man. You’re a


    good brother.”


    “Sally…” Peter let out a lonely, helpless sigh and said, “You’re all grown up. You don’t need me to


    watch over you anymore. So after we get married, I’ll take her away, away from everyone in Fortuna.”


    Sally was surprised to hear that. “Do you think she wouldn’t be able to hurt us just by taking her away?”

    “Peter stared at Sally speechlessly. His little sister was so smart,


    Sally gave a bitter smile. “I wouldn’t say I understand Esme Manningpletely. But the despicable


    things that she had done to Fia after she came back to Fortuna… I’ve seen quite at lot of her dreadful,


    wicked ways.”


    She then shook her head. “A woman like her will not sincerely love anyone. How could she? She has


    no sense of morality and shame. She’ll do absolutely anything to get what she wants! Pete, the way


    she livespletely vites your principle in life!”


    Sally never understood why her brother would fall for a witch like her!


    Peter gave Sally a bitter smile. “After all that speech, it doesn’t change the fact you’re helping our


    enemy’s daughter.”


    “Peter! Fia is not my enemy! She’s my friend!”


    “Conall Parker had forced Dad to bankruptcy! Dad even jumped off the roof!” Peter raised his voice at


    her. “You can’t change that fact! You can’t erase their sins! I’ve already made the biggestpromise


    by leaving aside my vengeance and taking Britney away!”


    “She is not Britney Thomas!” Sally retorted in a shriek. “Don’t you dare insult Britney like that!”


    “Sally, please don’t get involved.” Peter was losing his patience and unwilling to talk to his sister


    anymore. It was no use. His words just wouldn’t get through her.


    Seeing him standing up and preparing to leave, Sally said coldly, “If you insist on marrying her, then


    don’t me me for taking the heartless route.”


    Peter turned to her. “What are you nning to do?”


    “I’ll find out just how Esme Manning is impersonating Britney Thomas. I’ll definitely find out the truth!”


    Sally said in a sullen face, “Britney… The real Britney Thomas is innocent and you’ve wronged her.”


    Sally did not dare to ask him what he did with Britney, or where he sent Britney to… Nheless, she


    could guess the answer from her brother’s vague words.

    The siblings red at each other, feeling utterly conflicted at them being at odds.


    Peter said, “I don’t expect you to avenge our family. But I can’t let you interfere with her.”


    Sally said determinedly, “I’ll stop you two from getting married. I can’t let you continue on with this


    mistake!”


    Peter suddenly felt restless from all this. How…? How did ite to this? How did his falling for a


    student of his led him to this predicament?


    “Sally, please. She’s pregnant with. my


    child.”

    Sally widened her eyes in disbelief.


    Peter gazed at his sister pleadingly. “Please, can you just let this matter slide? For the sake of my


    child?”


    —


    Sally was speechless. She had helped many mothers deliver their babies at the hospital and she had


    doted on every one of these newborns when they were in the ward.


    “Sally, you have my word. After we get married, I’ll bring her overseas, away from everyone. I’ll stop her


    froming back and she’ll never disturb your friend ever again. Okay?” Peter tried his darndest to


    dissuade Sally from revealing Esme’s identity to the public.


    Sally, on the other hand, fantasized about her brother holding a baby in his arms. It would be nice to


    meet this baby as its aunt… This baby had the same blood as her brother’s running in its veins!


    “But what about Mom and Dad? Are you just going to leave them?”


    Peter turned as he looked at her gently. “I trust that you can take care of them in my stead. You’re


    already doing a good job taking care of them, aren’t you?
