Makenna’s joy faded away. She red at the woman fiercely. “Why are you here?”


    “I… I came to see you, Makenna. I also brought you some soup.” Maka put on a ttering smile at her and entered the ward.


    Seeing that, Makenna seemed to be stimted. She patted the quilt on her excitedly. “Why did youe in? Get out! You are not allowed to enter. You’re covered with bacteria. You’ll dirty the air. Get out!”


    Upon hearing it, Maka stiffened, feeling at a loss. “I don’t have bacteria. I’ve changed my outfit. Makenna…”


    “Stop calling me Makenna! I don’t know you,” Makenna interrupted her loudly with a twisted look. “Maka, remember. I don’t allow you to call my first name. You are not my older sister. Understand?”


    “I… I…” Maka lowered her head in sorrow, sobbing in a low voice.


    Right then, Mr. Gardner walked in. Seeing the sobbing oldest daughter and the unhappy younger daughter, she frowned.


    “What happened? Maka, tell me. What happened?” Mrs. Gardner wiped Maka’s tears off and asked, feeling sorry.


    Maka pressed her head in Mrs. Gardner’s arms. “Mom, should I have note back?”


    “Why do you ask so?” Mrs. Gardner was shocked. In a hurry, she said, “It’s your home. Why shouldn’t youe back?”


    “But… But why does Makenna hate me so much? She doesn’t allow me to call her first name and said I was not her sister.” Maka cried sadly.


    Mrs. Gardner was taken aback. “Did Makenna say so?”


    “Ehn.” Maka nodded.


    Mrs. Gardner squinted, looking over at Makenna with aplicated expression.


    Makenna felt guilty and turned away, hating Maka to the core.


    How dare this bumpkinin to her mother!


    She had thought Maka had been living in the countryside, so she might be timid and timorous. However, she had underestimated Maka. It seemed thetter was pretty good at using her puniness to win overpassion and support from others.


    “It’s alright, Maka. You’ve juste back. Makenna might not get used to it yet. I’ll talk to herter.” Mrs. Gardner patted Maka on her back andforted her gently, “Maka, please wait for me outside. I’ll talk to your sister. We’ll go shoppingter.”


    “Okay, Mom.” Maka smiled through tears. She left Mrs. Gardner’s arms, gave her the instion pail, nodded, and left the ward.


    Only Mrs. Gardner and Makenna were left there.


    Mrs. Gardner put the instion pail on the nightstand, looking at Makenna unhappily. “What’s wrong with you, Makenna? How can you treat your sister that way? Before Maka returned, wasn’t you looking forward to hering back home? You said you wished to have an older sister who could care about you and protect you. What are you doing now?”


    Makenna had never expected Maka toe back.


    She just said those words to please her parents at that time.


    However, Maka indeed hade back home.


    Although she thought of that, she couldn’t tell her mother about it.


    Makenna pinched her hands under the quilt tightly. With reddish eyes, she said in a grievance, “Mom, I didn’t mean to do it. I can’t ept my sister to be like her. She’s bony, short, and bad-looking. She looked so poor. How could she be my sister? Mom, did you make a mistake?”


    “How could it be possible? Maka’s eyes are like mine, aren’t they?” Mrs. Gardner pointed at her eyes. “Besides, your father has done the paternity test with her. The result shows they are father and daughter. How could she not be Maka?”


    Makenna bit her lower lip. “I can’t ept it because so. She can’t do anything. When she came home yesterday, she made so many mistakes. I feel ashamed when walking with her. Others will alsough at our Gardner family for such a disgraceful daughter.”


    “s…” Mrs. Gardener heaved a sigh. “I know what you mean. You just disdain your sister will disgrace you, don’t you?”


    Makenna’s eyes twinkled. She didn’t answer, but she acquiesced it.


    That was only one of the reasons.


    The real reason was that she couldn’t ept a pumpkin. Maka would not threaten her status in the Gardner family but also would snatch her parents’ love and the family’s fortune from her.


    Hence, Makenna must kick Maka out of her home.


    Mrs. Gardner didn’t know what was in Makenna’s mind now. She rubbed Makenna’s head and said dearly, “Makenna, I understand how you feel. But you need to be more patient with your sister. She grew up in the countryside since childhood. Unlike you, she had no resources to learn all kinds of skills. She doesn’t know how to behave in the upper ss. Hence, it’s normal that she makes mistakes. Learn to forgive her.”


    Speaking of that, Mrs. Gardner smiled. “Your father and I have signed her up for the etiquette training course and some training courses to establish her hobbies, such as piano and dancing. I believe your sister will be excellent soon. By then, you will have a different opinion about her.”


    “For real? That’s wonderful!” Makenna parted her lips and answered with a wry smile.


    However, her heart was full of twisted hatred.


    Maka had just returned, but they couldn’t wait to train Maka.


    She wondered if they wished to let Maka rece her as soon as possible.


    Makenna decided to kick Maka out as soon as possible. If she couldn’t, she would only…


    She narrowed her eyes. A murderous look shed through her eyes.


    Anyway, she would never let others who could potentially harm her interest live. Amber couldn’t, and neither could Maka. Even Maka was her sister.


    Mrs. Gardner didn’t notice Makenna’s weird look. She opened the thermo container and poured a bowl of soup for her. “Come on. Your sister cooked this for you purposely. Have a try.”


    Makenna smelt the aroma and felt peckish. However, when hearing it was cooked by Maka, she lost her appetite instantly.


    She didn’t show it on her face, though. With a smile, she took the bowl over and said, “Really? Did Maka cook it? Mom, please thank her on my behalf.”


    Seeing that her younger daughter would ept Maka after talking with her, Mrs. Gardner was overjoyed. “Okay. Okay. I’ll tell Makater. She will definitely be delighted.”


    Makenna sneered inwardly while stirring the chicken soup. “Mom, aren’t you going for shopping with Maka? Please hurry up and go. Don’t make her wait too long.”


    “Okay. I’m headed up now. Call me if you need anything,” Mrs. Gardner said while checking her watch.


    Makenna hummed.


    Mrs. Gardner picked up her handbag and left the ward.


    As soon as the ward door was closed, Makenna had a stern look on her face. She turned around and directly poured all the chicken soup into a flowerpot.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Seeing the chicken soup melt with soil, she muttered in disdain, “Can the soup made by a pumpkin be clean?”


    Bang!


    She smashed the empty bowl on the nightstand. Then her phone rang.


    It was a call from the troll leader troll that she hired, so she directly swiped to answer.


    Before she spoke, the troll leader said hurriedly, “Hello, Ms. Gardner, bad news. Amber Reed’s news has been suppressed. It can’t be seen online now.”


    “What?” Makenna sat upright instantly, looking annoyed. “Did she do that herself?”
