Chapter 6: Ann Oliver

Chapter 6: Ann Oliver

Standing outside a door, I could still hear the commotion inside. This situation was not too surprising, but the noise was loud enough to startle anyone.

I turned to look at the servant standing in front of the door with an awkward expression. The shouting from inside made him unsure whether he should open the door for me or not.

“Open it.”

The butler standing behind spoke up to remind the servant, startling him as he hurriedly opened the door.

When I turned my head to look back, he simply smiled and gestured inside.

“Please, go in.”

Clearly, he knew the situation inside was chaotic, yet he had no intention of entering with me or announcing my presence at this moment. It seemed he did not mind letting me watch the play unfolding inside, or perhaps he even hoped that I would witness it.

I stepped into the house. Immediately, a glass was thrown and shattered right in front of my feet.

“Crash!!!”

A shard of glass flew out, grazing my leg and leaving a long cut. Blood welled up and ran down my leg onto the floor.

So it was Ann Oliver who was angrily throwing things around the room.

I frowned and remarked.

“How pathetic!”

Ann Oliver was indeed just as I remembered, acting foolishly and impulsively. But her foolishness appeared cute and endearing in the eyes of those who shared my blood.

I still remembered how much hope I carried when I first stepped into this house. When I learned that I had two older brothers and an adopted younger sister, I had been looking forward to meeting that younger sister.

I had dreamed that the two of us could go shopping together, share secrets, and talk about private things.

But everything had gone against what I imagined.

Ann Oliver had never seen me as her sister.

Yet in the eyes of my blood relatives, her actions were nothing more than childish behavior out of fear of losing their love.

Because of their indulgence, Ann Oliver felt completely free to look down on my existence.

Look at this. Right now, they were only busy chasing after her to comfort her, not caring at all about a stranger like me.

After turning the room upside down, Ann Oliver burst into tears, looking utterly pitiful.

“Now that you’ve brought your biological daughter back, are you going to abandon me? I knew it, I’m just someone unnecessary in this house! I don’t want her to come back, you will definitely stop loving me!”

Oh please. Anyone who didn’t know better would think Ann Oliver was an outstanding Hollywood actress!

I found it amusing, watching this deeply emotional family drama unfolding before my eyes.

My two biological brothers rushed forward to hug Ann and comfort her in gentle voices.

“No, don’t say such nonsense! Our only sister will always be you, only you.”

“That’s right. I can swear to you that we will never make you sad. We will only love you, and you alone.”

Hearing this only made me laugh more.

Their biological sister had been lost outside, her life or death unknown, yet these two brothers could still say that they had no other sister besides Ann. Even wolves knew how to stay with their pack, yet these people could be so heartless toward their own blood.

What a pity that I had once tried everything to earn the love of these two brothers.

The more this play went on, the more ridiculous it became. I leisurely toyed with a strand of my hair and thought to myself.

“Should I step into this family drama or not?”

Thinking back to my previous life, the moment I stepped in, a shard of glass pierced my foot, causing me to panic and scream. Back then, everyone’s attention had turned toward me, and only then did my parents and those two brothers approach me, welcoming me with falsely affectionate expressions.

Now that I thought about it, I had truly been foolish back then.

From the moment I entered, there had only been a single servant waiting, and there was no sign of a warm welcome. They had said over and over that my parents had been longing for me day and night, yet when they finally found their daughter, they did not even bother to wait at the door.

Was this what they called longing day and night?

Ann Oliver was the same. She deliberately staged a dramatic tantrum to attract everyone’s attention on the very day I returned. It was only later that I realized she had intentionally chosen this moment so I would witness everything.

She wanted me to understand my place the moment I stepped into the house. It was Ann Oliver’s opening strike against me.

In this house, not a single person truly cared about my arrival today.

I shook my head and laughed helplessly.

“In my previous life, I was in too much of a hurry and didn’t get to properly watch this family drama. What a pity. This kind of plot is just as entertaining as a famous movie.”

I glanced at the clock. More than ten minutes had already passed, so I couldn’t just stand here watching any longer.

Since someone had already set the stage, I might as well cooperate and perform a play for Ann Oliver.

I deliberately stepped hard onto the floor to create a loud sound. Only then did the Oliver family snap out of it and turn to look at me with surprised expressions.
