”Let me take a look.“ The handsome professor, with his broad shoulders and powerful muscles, lifted me effortlessly and placed me on the desk.

Why do you always end up hurt?“ His voice grew husky, sending a shiver down my spine as I struggled to catch my breath.I had to remind myself that he’s my professor... and my stepbrother. I shouldn’t be seduced by his touch.”If anyone bullies you again, come to my office and I will deal with them,“ he murmured, his beautiful eyes locking onto mine.Despite knowing he’s forbidden, I couldn’t help but wonder—should I tell him about the mate bond I felt the night he was drunk?..When her parents rejected each other, Helanie went from being her daddy's angel to a neglected and forgotten child.

“Block him.”“He's technically still my boss.”“Then block him with dignity.”The call ended again.And then started again.I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt.“Yes, Mr. Walton?”“Have you changed your mind yet?”I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough.“Do you ever take a break?” I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand.“You're avoiding the question.”“Because it's a dumb question.”He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. “It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer.”“It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to.”There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker.“You are acting unreasonably.”“ Unreasonable?” I sat up. “I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday.”“Isabella-”“Certainly not, Mr. Walton.” I mimicked his tone perfectly. “I told you I'm not doing it.

Revenge

In the desolate backyard, the sister-in-law was lying on the ground in ragged clothes, looking at the brightly dressed woman surrounded by people on the porch with red eyes: “Ma Ningyue, you framed me, you will die!”

She smiled slightly: “Look at what my sister said, why don’t I understand at all? Since I married into the palace, I have devoted my heart and soul to my sister. My sister is empty and lonely. I will find some men for my sister; my sister’s drug addiction broke out. , I sent Wushi powder to my sister; it is not convenient for my sister to serve my brother-in-law, so I found a few maids for my brother-in-law… In this world, is there any younger sister who is as considerate as me?”

The concubine’s lungs were about to explode, and she wanted to kill her with a sword, but she didn’t even have the strength to stand up, so she had to bow her head in resignation, and big tears rolled down her face: “Let me go… Please, Let me go…”

“Let you go?” A gorgeous smile appeared on her clear face, “For the sake of our sisters, here is a divorce paper, take it.”

Sister Shu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she was finally able to leave this devilish place! You can finally start a new life!

“However, it’s not yours, it’s Auntie’s.”

The concubine fell from heaven to hell in an instant!

She smiled sweetly and said: “My aunt has been dismissed from the house by my father.”

“Ma Ningyue, she is your aunt!”

“Yes, yes, she is my aunt. She crawled on my father’s bed, killed my brother, plotted against my mother, and sold me to others to pave the way for you. I remember all of these! She is old and has bad legs. , I was afraid that she would die of starvation and freezing to death outside, so I specially found a good place for her, where she can eat a bowl of bad rice as a coolie for six hours a day, how about it, isn’t it good?”

The concubine was trembling with anger, every blood vessel seemed to be twisted: “Ma Ningyue, don’t be too arrogant, my brother is a son-in-law…”

She smiled coldly: “My brother is gone, will I let your brother live?”

Sister Shu was so angry that she passed out!
