Nine Ungrateful Sisters Chapter 374
Irene started asking around for news of Oscar. She didn't know where he was living. She had only caught fragments of what Amara had said, something about a shantytown district in Percham.Bella had made a whole scene about it once.It was rare for Irene to think things through before acting, but this time she stopped at the door. "Can I really go somewhere like that looking like this?"Percham had a reputation in Silverton. "Rough ground breeds rough people" was more than just a saying. It wasn't that the people who lived there were bad by nature. It was that when you grew up in a place where everyone behaved a certain way, that behavior stopped looking wrong.If everyone around you dropped out at 14 to work or drift through life, then 14-year-olds leaving school became normal. Their parents treated it as normal too. Whether poverty pushed them into it or the environment slowly wore them down, the outcome was already set in stone.Irene couldn't entirely blame the rest of the city

Frank's eyes shifted. "Honestly, I've been sick of the Chamberlains for a long time now. If you really want to destroy them, I actually have an idea. The question is whether the great envoy is interested.""Oh?"The two leaned in close.As Frank explained his plan, Stanley smirked. "Good. If this works, I'll submit a request to my superiors to bring you into Draconox."Frank's face lit up with undisguised delight. "Thank you, Mr. Draxler. Thank you!"…While Amara and her sisters dealt with Frank, Irene lay in bed, turning everything over in her mind.Something felt wrong. An uneasy weight pressed against her chest.Ever since Oscar had left the household, not a single day had felt right to her.Her sisters were consumed by their own lives and ambitions. None of them had time for her, especially Amara. From the moment Jason moved into the household, all of Amara's attention had shifted to him.What was so special about him? He could not even handle the simple things that the

Clara cried out a single word of refusal, and her eyes locked with Amara's.The emotions in them were deep and unmistakable: resentment and distrust.'I'm sorry, Clara. I never thought this would end up like this. When it's over, I'll make it right. Stanley pulled away because our family has fallen. But aren't I doing the same thing? Worrying that the family's position will make him think less of me?'Guilt weighed heavily in her chest, but Amara held her sister's gaze and forced herself to finish what she had started. "I like you too." She pressed a hand against her chest. "This heart of mine... after my father, you're the only person who's ever made it stumble."She reached out to him.Stanley's eyes reddened instantly. "Is that true, Amara? You really like me?"He took her hand and looked at her with complete sincerity."Yes. I like you. And I promise there is nothing else behind it."The two of them slowly moved closer. They were only moments from falling into each other'

Stanley started toward the door. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to fall in love with someone in this world? Do you have any idea how much it hurts to be handed off to someone else by the person you love? I'm sorry. I can't take that kind of pain."He turned and strode out without another word.Frank blinked. His brain took several seconds to catch up with what had just happened. Under different circumstances, he would have burst out laughing.Late the previous night, someone had already contacted him and told him to cooperate with what was coming. The moment Stanley produced his Draconox credentials, Frank had practically bent the knee.The business Stanley wanted help with, however, had been more than a little unexpected. It involved using Amara to accomplish a particular goal.The details remained vague, but the core objective was obvious: Stanley needed to marry Amara, or at least secure some formal connection to her. Whether the marriage actually happened didn't matter n

Stanley's words broke something inside Clara. She stared at him, then turned to Amara.Amara's face had gone blank. She felt Clara's eyes on her. "Stanley, what are you saying? I think of you as a friend. Nothing more."She didn't dare look directly at either of them.She lowered her gaze, but even then, she could feel Clara's fury crashing over her in waves.Stanley gripped her shoulders and forced her to look at him. "Amara, do you think I'm an idiot? I watched everything the Centurion Trade Consortium did to your family. Every step of it. Why do you think I've stood on your side without question? I knew what it would cost me. I knew exactly how much I'd be opposing. And I stayed anyway. Why?"He shook her arm, and their eyes locked.Amara saw anger in his eyes. She saw something that looked like longing. Beneath both, she saw something she couldn't name.She didn't know what to do with any of it, so she stayed silent, her lips pressed tightly together."You're hurting me," s

Amara stood there looking small and uncertain, biting her lip as though she wanted to say something she couldn't quite force herself to admit.Stanley seemed to lose his head entirely. He pressed a hand to his chest. "Amara, just say it. Whatever I can do, I'll do it. You have to understand, even though we've only just met, I feel like you've always been there somewhere inside me."The sincerity in his eyes made Amara's heart beat faster than she wanted.She forced the feeling down. When she spoke, her voice was so calm it bordered on unsettling. "If you were to marry one of my sisters, you would become a part of our family. As a son-in-law, no one could fault you for standing up for us in that position."Something flickered in Stanley's eyes. Not all of it was an act."Do you mean that, Amara? You'd allow me to marry into your family?" He stepped forward and took her hand. "I can't promise you everything. But I can promise that if I marry you, I'll treat you like the most preciou
