Author: Nameless
Ian frowned, while Mom and Dad went pale instantly.

"Cindy, have you lost your mind?" Mom hurried over and tried to pull her away.

"I haven't!" Cindy pulled free and glared at me with bloodshot eyes. "I just want to ask my dear brother something. Now that you're a PhD holder and such a successful young man, are you feeling pretty pleased with yourself?"

Her voice was loud and hoarse from drinking, making it especially jarring in the quiet ballroom.

"What gives you the right to feel so proud?

  • My Genius Twin Sister Turned Into a Lovebrain   Chapter 11

    Mom hurried over and instinctively reached for my hand, but stopped halfway and gently rested her hand on my arm instead.As far as I could remember, it was the first time she had ever been so careful about getting close to me.No one spoke on the drive home.I watched the city lights pass by outside the window. It felt like the pain I had carried for years had finally been put to rest.For the first time, I felt completely relaxed."Shane." Mom's hoarse voice broke the silence. "I'm sorry."Without turning around, I hummed a quiet acknowledgment."We've treated you unfairly all these years," Dad said from the front seat, worn down from keeping up appearances for so long. "We always thought Cindy deserved more because she was your older sister and a female. We were wrong."I kept looking out the window as the city lights blurred past.I had waited so long to hear those words that when the apology finally came, I felt nothing.The damage was already done, and the wounds had

    "So you didn't give your spot to me. We both had a chance to go to Belton University," I said."That's not true!" Cindy denied it without thinking, but her voice was weak."Am I lying?" I smiled. "Secondly, what did you actually do back then? You stormed into the office and tore up my completed admission form right in front of Ms. Zeller."You said you'd accept the spot, but only if your boyfriend, Rodney, could go with you."I looked around the room at the people who were now clearly following the story."Everyone here is a leader in their field. Do you really think a guaranteed-admission spot at Belton University can be traded away? Or that a high school student gets to decide who receives it?"No one said a word, but the looks on their faces said enough."So what happened in the end?" I stepped closer to Cindy and lowered my voice, but everyone around us could still hear me. "The school rejected your ridiculous demand. And because you gave up your spot and tried to interfer

Cindy pulled free and glared at me with bloodshot eyes. "I just want to ask my dear brother something. Now that you're a PhD holder and such a successful young man, are you feeling pretty pleased with yourself?"Her voice was loud and hoarse from drinking, making it especially jarring in the quiet ballroom."What gives you the right to feel so proud? Who gave you everything you have today?"She pointed at me, making a fool of herself as she proudly told everyone about her supposed sacrifice."It was me! I gave it to you! That guaranteed-admission spot at Belton University was supposed to be mine!"I gave it up for love and my brother. I gave Shane my chance!"She grew more worked up with every word, spitting as she spoke."Things aren't going well for me now. I asked Shane for one favor, and this is how he treats me?"He blocked me!

    Two days later, I was sorting data in the lab when my advisor, Professor Ian Lester, called.His tone sounded strange as he said, "Shane, come to my office."I opened the door and found Ian sitting behind his desk, his brow furrowed and his expression hard to read."Sit." He pointed to the chair across from him.I sat down, wondering what was going on.After a short silence, Ian finally spoke. "Someone came to see me today. She said she's your sister, Cindy Gardner."My heart sank."She…" Ian paused, choosing his words carefully. "She said she gave up her guaranteed-admission spot for a man she loved, which gave you the chance to go to college."She told me she had sacrificed a lot for you. Things aren't going well for her now, and she hoped I'd help her find a better job for your sake."Ian stopped and looked at me, trying to understand the situation. There was a hint of sympathy in his eyes."She was crying so hard that she almost got down on her knees."A surge of disgust

    Mom spoke up, her tone icy. "Cindy, if you had made something of yourself, you wouldn't need Shane to help you out."What did we tell you back then? You made your choice. Now you have to live with it. After all these years, you still haven't learned a thing."Mom and Dad didn't hold back. Their words left Cindy utterly humiliated. She kept her head down, her hands clenched so tightly that her knuckles had gone white.Cindy had once been the undisputed top student in her grade, full of confidence.Now, she stood under our whole family's judgment, unable to say a word to defend herself.I simply kept eating, as if none of this had anything to do with me.What was supposed to be a family dinner had turned into a celebration of my achievements and a public humiliation for Cindy.The meal ended on a sour note.…I headed to the parking lot to get my car, but Cindy followed me and called out, "Shane."I turned around.Her eyes were bloodshot. Her voice was hoarse as she finally le

    Dad looked furious. Mom pressed her hand to her forehead, shaking with anger.They looked past Rodney and Cindy, who were making a scene, and turned their eyes to me.I walked over to them and said softly, "Mom, Dad, let's go."Neither of them gave Cindy another look.Dad nodded grimly and put an arm around Mom's shoulders. The three of us turned and walked away.Behind us, Cindy and Rodney kept shouting and shoving each other, while the parents nearby whispered and pointed at them.Cindy had created this whole mess herself and forced me into it as a supporting role.In the end, it cost her her own future, and the whole thing came crashing down.…Seven years later, I stood at the podium at an international academic conference, presenting my research fluently to leading scholars from around the world.The spotlight shone warmly on me as I spoke.
