Chapter 4

作者: Emerald Gains
Meanwhile, the living room located on the lower floor of the mansion was brightly lit.

Luke held Nessa's hand as he comforted her after her earlier shock.

"Mr. Johnson, Helen is here. She said… she said that she has something from Ms. Violet to return to you." The butler cautiously spoke from outside the door.

Luke was peeling an apple, and that made him pause.

Nessa bit her lower lip and her eyes instantly turned red. "Violet must still be blaming me. Luke, I should move out to make Violet happy. After all, it's all my fault…"

"Don't say that!" Luke put down the knife sharply, and his eyes were filled with rage. "She's the one who offended the Scott family. Now that she's locked up in the basement, she has the audacity to feel jealous.

"How dare she try to put on this little act of returning my ring to me?"

He strode out and snatched the ring from Helen's hand.

When he opened his palm, he revealed the blood-stained diamond ring, and he felt a sudden hurt.

Luke was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Helen begged him and sobbed, "Mr. Johnson, Ms. Violet said that she would use her life to repay your seven-year relationship. Please, go and have a look at Ms. Violet!

"She's having a high fever, and her legs are broken. If she doesn't receive treatment, she will really die!"

"Shut up!" Luke closed his fist around the diamond ring. The sharp edges of the diamond cut his palm, but he did not feel it.

He felt a strange anger in him as he spoke through gritted teeth. "Ha, what a show! Violet, did you think that pretending to be crippled and dying would make me give in?"

However, in the end, he still showed up.

Luke kicked the metal door of the basement open fiercely at midnight.

He was raging as he strode into the silent storage room.

"Violet, how long do you want to keep this act up?"

Luke stopped a few steps away from me. He covered his nose with his handkerchief in disgust. He sounded aloof and impatient.

"You asked Helen to bring me this ring just to force me to see you. You're pretending to be injured and sick. I bet you've learned how to play the victim after being locked up in prison for five years."

Hearing his words, I leaned against the corner and grimaced. Then, I let out a very weak sneer.

When Luke noticed that I was not speaking, he got even more angry. He took another step forward and scolded me.

"Do you know that because you've returned the ring, Nessa thought that you're still mad at her? She didn't even eat dinner because of the guilt! She's always in poor health, and she can't be frightened.

"Why can't you be understanding for once? We're only asking you to take the blame to buy some time! You just need to end up in prison one more time to protect Nessa's dancing career.

"I told you that I'll spend money to free you from prison. Why are you acting like this and putting your parents and me in a difficult spot?"

He strode forward and grabbed my arm without any mercy. Then, he pulled me up.

"Violet, stand up and apologize to Nessa!"

However, what he had imagined did not come true.

My legs could not bear the weight of my body. With his tugging, I was lifted mid-air like a puppet. My legs were bent at a scary angle as they dragged against the floor.

His fierce tug caused my broken ribs to finally pierce through my lungs.

I opened my mouth and uncontrollably threw up a huge gulp of blood mixed with pieces of my organs. The smelly blood splattered against Luke's clean tux.

Luke froze.

He was still holding my arm when he looked at the dark blood in a daze. Then, his gaze slowly shifted downward.

The dim light in the basement was shining against my body.

He finally saw that not only were my legs broken, but there were bones poking through my pants.

He finally felt the high fever coming from my body, as well as the decaying smell coming from a dying person.

I was thrown back onto the floor like a broken doll. My right bloodshot eye was staring at him without any emotion.

He finally looked a little frantic as his voice started to tremble.

"Violet…?"

  • My Family Sacrificed Me for My Sister   Chapter 12

    One late night in winter, the mansion located on the hill started burning. Luke asked all his helpers and bodyguards to leave. Then, he locked himself in the basement. He was wearing the black tux that he had worn when he had proposed to me seven years ago. With my urn held tightly in his arms and that weird wedding dress, he sat next to the cold metal cage. The fire was burning everything in the basement, and he was surrounded by billowing smoke. The fire licked his skin, yet he did not feel the pain. Instead, he smiled eerily. "Violet, here I come." He leaned down and planted a kiss on my urn. "You must be lonely there. Walk slower and wait for me… I'll be there to apologize to you. In my next life, I'll do anything to make it up to you…"The fire burned everything. It burned this once-arrogant man and his late love into ashes. At the same time, on the other end of the street, Jessica was digging through trash to look for food. A delivery driver accidentally knocked

  • My Family Sacrificed Me for My Sister   Chapter 11

    A month after my death, there was a huge scandal in the city. Camden managed to find out the truth. The copies of the dashcam footage were recovered. Camden saw that it was Nessa who had killed his younger brother. He also heard the recording of my parents and Luke scheming to send me to the Scott family as a scapegoat. Camden smashed the glass coffee table before him. "How dare the Reid family and Luke lie to me? How dare they fool me with a scapegoat?"Camden's anger immediately inflicted damage on Reid Corporation and Johnson Corporation. Within two weeks, the Reid Corporation ran into cash flow issues and went bankrupt. Ronald was jailed due to financial fraud, and Jessica pawned all of her jewelry, yet she still could not pay the huge debt. She became homeless because of the high loans. As for Nessa, she was met with her worst nightmare. Camden did not hand her to the police. Instead, he brought her to the place where I had been run over."Didn't you like to spee

  • My Family Sacrificed Me for My Sister   Chapter 10

    On the last day of my life, my breathing became shallower. Every breath felt like pulling an old, worn-out bellows. The equipment beside my bed was beeping softly. Luke stumbled in. He was carrying a white piece of clothing in his arms. When he showed me that dress, the nurses, who were usually unfazed by anything, could not help but gasp. It was a wedding dress. In fact, it looked eerie and strange. Because my legs were mangled, they were in casts, and there were metal rods all around them. A normal dress would not fit me. Luke had personally altered that million-dollar dress and stitched it into something that could cover my mangled body. The crystals on the dress looked like tears under the lights. "Violet, back then, I didn't manage to let you wear the most beautiful wedding dress. Today, let me put it on you, alright?" Luke knelt before the bed, and his voice was eerily gentle. "Wear it, and you'll be my wife. You'll be my only wife." He reached out his trembli

  • My Family Sacrificed Me for My Sister   Chapter 9

    Luke and my parents were shocked by the prognosis. Ronald staggered backwards and sat on the plastic chair in the hallway. He covered his face. The once-arrogant CEO of Reid Corporation let out a sad cry. Jessica collapsed onto the floor, and she kept sobbing. Luke went completely insane. He pushed Theo aside and stumbled into the ICU as he threw himself at my bed."Violet… Can you hear me? Nessa's the wrong one, and I'll send her to prison. I'll make her pay!"His hands were trembling as they wanted to hold mine. However, my hands were heavily bandaged and tubed, so he had no place to hold. He could only hover his hands above mine. "Please don't die… I beg you, please don't die."Luke sat before the hospital bed and suddenly raised his hands and started to slap himself. The loud slapping sound echoed in the silent ward. After a few slaps, blood started to ooze out of the corner of his mouth. His handsome face became swollen. "I was blind! I'm worse than an animal! H

    "Nessa, what are you doing?"A thunderous roar came from the doorway.Nessa froze, and the pillow dropped from her hands. She turned around in fear and saw Luke standing at the entrance, staring at her with bloodshot eyes.Behind her, Ronald and Jessica stood in shock. Helen had felt something was wrong, so she had run to inform them. Nessa's face immediately turned pale. She collapsed onto the floor and immediately teared up. She immediately put on her pitiful expression. "Luke, Mom, Dad, hear me out… Violet's in too much pain, so she begged me to put her out of her misery. I just want to help her…"Luke slapped her hard across the face.It was none other than Luke, who usually doted on her, who had slapped her. Luke's hand was trembling, and his knuckles turned white. He spat through gritted teeth, "We stood outside the door and heard every single word clearly! "You purposely ran someone over and pretended to be weak, just so Violet would be your scapegoat… Nessa, ho

  • My Family Sacrificed Me for My Sister   Chapter 7

    When I woke up again, I was in the best ICU in the city hospital. There were a lot of tubes connected to my body to maintain my weak heartbeat. Someone opened the door to my ward, and I could smell a thick perfume, masking the pungent smell of antiseptic. "All of you, please leave. I want to speak to Violet alone." Nessa's sweet voice could be heard from the ICU entrance. A few of the nurses walked out and shut the door. No one could see us from outside. Nessa walked toward my bed and looked down at me in disdain. Her face no longer looked innocent or gentle. Instead, she looked undeniably mean and smug. "Tsk, Violet, look at you. You look more pathetic than a dead dog lying on the roadside." I lay there quietly as I stared at her coldly with my right eye. I did not move. Not even my breathing was disrupted. When Nessa saw that I was ignoring her, she sneered and bent down. Then, she flicked on my casted right leg with her delicate nails.I groaned in pain, and my
