She Sold Me Off... To My Brother

"You bitch! If you even look at me with those eyes again, I'll gouge them out!"Stella Knight glared at me, her attractive face twisting into a cruel and monstrous look."Stella, are you insane?"I struggled, but I couldn't break free from the handful of men holding me."If our parents find out what you're doing, they'll kill you!" I shouted.She gave me a smug smile. "They'll assume that you ran off to enjoy life abroad, partying overseas with some random guy."Stella and I had been born in the same hospital. Somehow, we had been switched at birth.She grew up as the heiress of the Knight family and lived the high life for 20 years, only to find out that she wasn't their biological daughter.Then, I appeared. Outwardly, she was polite, even warm. But behind my back, she never missed a chance to mock me, especially after my parents arranged for me to marry Victor Lark. She had loved Victor for years, and so, her jealousy reached a boiling point.I had repeatedly told her I wou

"Shut up! Her face draws too much attention. If anyone recognizes her, we're screwed. Don't question me, or you'll regret it!"I grabbed the man's leg. "Call Eric! Or you'll regret it. He will kill you!"Eric cared about me more than anything.The men looked at me with contempt, ready to tear me apart."Since she won't become the dealer, her face's useless then," one said, brandishing a knife.The cold blade hovered over my face. They laughed louder as fear flooded my eyes.In an instant, I bit down hard on one man's hand. He screamed, stumbling backward. At that moment, I screamed at the top of my lungs for help.The other men rushed at me, but the door suddenly burst open."What the hell is going on? Why can't you guys handle a woman? Get it done now!"The man whom I had bitten wiped the blood off himself and stomped his foot against my neck."How dare you bite me! I'm taking your teeth out today. Let's see how you'll bite then!"He glared around him, and the others he

Stella said, "She's not important. I heard that Eric came here today."Her gaze was calculating.Luke smirked wickedly. "You've got your eye on him? You'd better check with Joanna first. Everyone knows he treats her like she's his world. As long as she wants something, Eric never says no to her."Stella's brows furrowed. "Joanna? But no one's seen her before, right?"Luke sneered at me. "That woman over there just claimed to be Joanna."Stella spat at me. "She isn't even worthy of being Joanna's maid!"She appraised my barely clothed and bloodied state, then pulled out her phone to snap a few photos."How pitiful you look. I suppose Victor might like it. Should I send him these photos now, or wait until the other men get to you first, then take a video afterward?"I couldn't speak, so I could only glare at her with all the hatred I had.Upset at my expression, she reached for the knife, wanting to cut out my tongue herself.But at the moment her hand touched it, the door swun

Eric said, "Luke and that woman got away. I've sent people after them. The woman doesn't really look like she's with him. She went straight back home. Do you know her?"I struggled to speak clearly. "Stella Knight."Eric's face darkened instantly."The Knight family! How dare they!""My daughter!""Darling!"Voices called out from afar.My adoptive parents were here. They rushed over, pale with worry, nearly tripping as they reached me.When they saw me, bruised and bloodied on the hospital bed, rage flared in their eyes."What happened? Who did this to you?"Dad even kicked Eric in the shin. "How could you let this happen? How could she be bullied by others under your watch?""Worthless!"Without uttering a single word, Eric slapped himself across the face a few times."It was my fault," he admitted.I shook my head slowly, not wanting him to punish himself.But Eric still remembered the kick he'd given me earlier. "Once you get out of here, I'll punish myself."Dad's

Stella glanced at the caller ID and was about to hang up when I quickly reacted and snatched the phone from her.Victor Lark's sickly sweet voice came through immediately."Stella, did you take care of that woman yet?"Stella tried to respond, but Eric's sharp gaze silenced her instantly.Victor continued, "Darling, remember our deal. Once you take care of that woman, we can finally be together. No more hiding and no more sneaking to the next city to get a room together."I suddenly laughed and lifted the phone to ask Victor, "Which woman are you talking about?"In an instant, the line went dead.All the relatives and friends were staring at Stella, murmuring and whispering to one another."Was that Victor Lark just now? Isn't he Susanna's fiance? Why is he with Stella?""I swear it sounded like they were plotting to take someone out.""Could this have something to do with the family inheritance?"Stella hurriedly spoke, her tone flustered. "Susanna, why did you even answer
