Chapter 2632


    “Thanks, Mara. I know I’ve got a lot to learn about being a big sister, and ever since Dad’s ident,


    you’ve seemed pretty down. But trust me, things are gonna look up for us from here on out.”


    Mara kept her gaze lowered, silent for a long moment before finally looking up and offering a small


    smile. “Better eat up before it gets cold,” she said.


    The table was adorned with four dishes, two prepared by Victoria, and two by Mara.


    Mara’s cooking tasted a bit off, but Victoria graciously moved all of Mara’s creations to her side of the


    table and happily dered them delicious after a taste.

    “Eat up. Who knows? Someday you might not be able to have any more,” Mara said, her wordsced


    with a deeper meaning.


    “Why’s that? We’re sisters for life, aren’t we? Or are you nning to stop cooking for me, Mara?


    “Who can promise forever?” Mara exined. “College and all, we might end up in different ces.”


    “I’ll choose the same city as you. That way we won’t have to split up!”


    Unfortunately, Victoria had no idea what Mara was really nning. She thought this meal was a turning


    point in their lives as sisters, a sign of Mara’s forgiveness. She didn’t realize that this dinner would mark


    the end of her own life.


    After finishing her te, Victoria suddenly asked Mara to pour her a ss of water, catching Mara off


    guard.


    “Are you asking me for help?” In this household, it was always Victoria who took care of everything.


    When had she ever dared to ask for anything from Mara? everything. When had she ever


    “Yes, just like you said, maybe we won’t be sharing meals together anymore.”


    But then, considering it might be theirst meal together, Mara stood up and poured the water, her


    gaze lingering on Victoria, unseen, for a long time.


    Victoria cleaned her tes thoroughly and went back to her room for a nap after the meal.


    When Mara reopened the doorter, she found Victoria unconscious.


    Mara cradled Victoria’s head, stroking her beautiful face. “Oh, my dear sister, all these years under


    your shadow, and finally, I’ve had my wish. You’ve been such a good sister to me, and that I’ll always


    remember. From now on, I’m going to live a good life!”


    Mara’sughter echoed lightly, feeling a sense of exhrating relief she had bottled up for years.


    Victoria’s body grew cold in her arms, but Mara wasn’t scared. Her fists clenched tighter, as if she had


    finally made a resolute decision.


    Returning to her room, she called Balfour.


    Hearing Balfour’s voice on the other end, she held her breath for a second. How she missed him,


    wondering if Balfour had thought of her too.


    Her love for him was so deep that she would stop at nothing, even if it meant harming her very own


    sister.


    She quickly made her requests to Balfour who, out of guilt, didn’t suspect a thing and tenderly took care


    of everything for her, just as she knew her father’sst words would prove useful.


    Still, Mara couldn’t quite grasp what Ivy was talking about.
