Nine Ungrateful Sisters Chapter 230
"Giana, how are you feeling? Any better?"Giana, I peeled you an apple. Don't forget to eat it later."Giana, I just read your new chapter. It's really good. Though if I were writing it, I'd probably handle this part a little differently..."Through the haze, Giana heard someone calling her name.The memories surfaced without warning. Oscar bringing her things when she was sick, always knowing what she needed before she asked. Oscar finding her in the middle of a crowded room when no one else noticed her. Oscar reading her drafts and offering his thoughts, which she would laugh off, argue against, and then quietly use anyway.He was in those books far more than she had ever admitted to him.But she would never hear that voice call her Giana again. He had been expelled from the family, and she had stood there and let it happen.Tears spilled down her face without warning.'Giana,' she thought. 'When are you going to stop hiding? When are you going to say what you really think in

And now here they were. If Oscar's condition worsened because of this, Rebecca would never forgive herself."Bro, I know I was wrong. Please slow down. Giana matters to you, I understand that. But you matter to me too. You can't keep hurting yourself over this," Rebecca said.Oscar's pace faltered for a moment before settling back into the same steady rhythm.As he looked up at the dark mountain looming above him, a thought pressed heavily on his mind. 'Why can't the people who enter your life remain the same? Why does everything always have to change?'He lowered his head and kept climbing.…At the peak above, Giana no longer felt cold in the sharp, painful way she had before. Now she felt cold in the way that made her body stop responding.She hadn't dressed for a night on the mountain. Her heavier clothes were still back at the hotel. She had planned to head down before evening, return to her room, and write. Instead, the freezing wind had slipped through every gap in her cl

Giana stood at the edge of the cliff. Darkness stretched below her, surrounded her, and swallowed the drop whole.It created a strange illusion, as though what waited below was no different from what existed up here. As though the distinction between the two had stopped mattering.A hollow laugh escaped her as she stepped forward. Her weight began to shift. Then a gust of icy wind struck her full in the face.The thought that cut through her mind was not peaceful. It was sharp, specific, and entirely her own.'No. I can't die yet. I haven't dealt with Irene. She can't do something like this and just walk away from it.'But her foot was already over the edge. Her center of gravity had already started tipping forward.She threw herself backward with all her strength, forcing her weight against the pull before collapsing onto the rock behind her instead of the darkness ahead. She hit the ground hard and lay there, her heart pounding violently against her ribs.People were strange t

A healthy person would have struggled with that route at night. Oscar had spent the entire afternoon climbing with her.Rebecca's voice cracked, and that was what stopped Oscar.Giana mattered, but Rebecca did too.Oscar forced a faint smile. "None of this is your fault. The Chamberlains provoked you first. What you did was a response, not an attack. But Giana is different. Not everyone in that family was against me."He raised a hand and brushed the tears from the corner of her eye. "Don't blame yourself. If you were stranded on that mountain, I'd go without a second thought. My body is fine. I mean that."Rebecca still clung to his arm. "Can't I just send the security team? They can bring her down too.""I need to go myself. She's probably terrified by now. If strangers show up in the dark, it will make things worse." Oscar's tone left no room for argument.The firmness in his voice told Rebecca more about Giana's place in his heart than anything else could have."Then wait f

Oscar's expression didn't waver, and Rebecca finally ran out of ways to hold herself together.She told him everything. "It was my idea. All of it. I was angry about what they did to you, and finding out Irene hired people to come after me only made it worse. So I asked Yelena to handle it. I specifically told her not to hurt anyone. It was only meant to teach them a lesson. Nothing dangerous is going to happen to either of them."As she spoke, she reached for the hem of his jacket and held on tightly. "The Chamberlains knocked you down, cast you out, and still treat you that way. I couldn't stand it anymore."The honesty in her voice, sharpened by quiet misery, made it impossible for Oscar to be harsh with her. "Show me the screenshots from those men's phones."Rebecca handed them over without argument.Yelena had told her to keep them as evidence, saying they would limit Rebecca's exposure if anything traced back to her later.At the time, Rebecca had assumed she meant trouble

As it turned out, the men who had escorted Irene into the old building and the men who had carried Giana up the neighboring peak had both been acting under the same orders. Neither group had acted on its own.Yelena was the one keeping Rebecca updated. "Confirmed, Miss Miller. Both of them are alone on the mountain right now."We haven't done anything that would seriously hurt them. They're not in any real danger, and there won't be any lasting harm. Think of it as a moderately harsh lesson. I'll send people up first thing tomorrow morning to bring them down."Rebecca had taken the call in the bathroom with the door locked. She hadn't told Oscar. He had already warned her to leave the Chamberlain sisters alone, and she had not exactly listened."Good. You handled this well." She set the phone down and looked at herself in the mirror.'Even if he finds out, it's fine. Irene came after me first. All I did was return the favor.' She nodded at her reflection. 'And Giana just happened

"There's no bus stop around here," Oscar said, scanning the road."It's only two miles," Rebecca replied lightly. "That's close."Oscar frowned. 'A girl her age, walking alone out of a place like this?'The Percham District, the city's shantytown, housed more than the poor. It drew drifters, loaf

Diana covered her nose and crouched beside the trash bin. She sifted through the discarded herbal dregs, examining them one handful at a time.With each closer look, her frown deepened. These were common sedative and calming herbs, mild and standard. If something this ordinary could cure Amara's he

Wasn't Oscar supposed to be the most insignificant man in the Chamberlain family? The one who stayed home, cooked, cleaned, and amounted to nothing?He had been thrown out of the Chamberlain house, yet he had managed to escape Dargan on his own?Amara's headache intensified. Before she could sort

Rebecca's voice trembled as she fought back tears. "I didn't steal anything! I just met my brother recently! You're the ones lying!"'If my grandparents hear I'm about to be expelled…' She could not even complete the thought.Her defense sounded thin and powerless."Expulsion isn't your only opti
