Chapter 554


    Chapter 554


    Ste was locked up for the entire duration of the funeral.


    On thest day, it was Michael who came to unlock the door.


    “Ste, must you be so stubborn? As long as you keep this a secret, you won’t have to suffer.”


    Michael was the youngest son born to an aging Grandma and Grandpa Sealey. Naturally, he was


    spoiled.


    Although only ten years older than Ste, she had always respected him, believing that he was a


    decent gentleman. Unexpectedly, this was what he did to Diana.


    To make matters worse, the woman he had an affair with was her roommate.


    Ste closed her eyes. Her lips were chapped from dehydration. With a raspy voice, she said, “Why did


    you treat her that way?”


    “Our rtionship is not what you think.”


    He suddenly knelt in front of her and raised her face. “Your look totally different from your parents, yet


    you are just as stubborn.”


    He rxed his gaze. “That part is indeed a bit like a Sealey.”


    “I am a Sealey!”


    She pushed his hands away weakly. “How is Roger?”


    “Now you are thinking of him.” He smiled. “Don’t worry. He is alright. As long as you keep your mouth


    shut, we are all still a family, eh?”


    Ste slowly clenched her fists into balls.


    “Impossible. You will get exposed one day.”


    “One day, but not today or tomorrow.” He stood up. “Ste, I am your elder, so there is something I


    must tell you. Although you are an adult now, you are still incapable of handling the assets your parents


    left you. Therefore, I shall keep it for now.”


    Her eyes widened. “No way! Father’s will clearly states that…”


    “Is that so? Read it again carefully.” He suddenly took out a document.


    Ste’s face paled as she read it.


    On the paper, it clearly stated that therge inheritance would be temporarily held by Michael. Only


    after they got married could they get the money back.


    She understood it immediately, “You have never regarded Father and Mother as your family! You have


    only coveted their property!” “Don’t say that.” He stood up. “In fact, if you hadn’t discovered the affair


    with your roommate, I would’ve still let


    you and Roger live a good life, just like how it always was. But since you found out, you have no choice


    but to ept it.”


    “Why are you doing this to us?”


    Her eyes were red. “We are a family, aren’t we?”


    “Right, we are a family, but why are you so disobedient?”


    He squatted down in front of her again with a sorry face.” Unless you are not a Sealey…”


    Ste didn’t get where he was getting at but heard him say,” Roger’s diagnosis is out. Would you like to


    take a look?”


    He handed her the report.


    After a nce, she threw it away. “It’s impossible ! He can’t possibly have this disease..”


    “You guys have nothing at all to fight against me.”


    She looked up at him in tears. “I will not stay in the family.”


    Without her parents, it was just an empty shell to her.


    It rained heavily that night.


    The sky poured down its contents in torrents of great fury.


    Ste left the house in only a thin ck dress.


    She had chosen to leave this ce, it seemed.

    But in fact, everyone knew all too well that she was forced to leave.
