Author: No Mood Nano
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 hospi

  • She Sold Me Off... To My Brother   Chapter 12

    Amy's concern wasn't for a "complete" family at all. She was simply afraid that her life would take a turn for the worse if Paul were imprisoned. In short, she was being selfish.Victor was terrified by the unfolding events."Susanna, I didn't know any of this. I didn't know Stella would do such terrible things to you."After a beat, he asked suddenly, "How about I marry you if you promise not to press charges?"I frowned, thinking that he must be out of his mind.But Victor wasn't done. "After we're married, I'll give you two houses and ten million dollars of allowance a year. I'll buy anything you want for you."Eric kicked him in the gut."You think you can talk to my sister like that?"Victor curled up on the floor, groaning in pain but still insisting he'd treat me well after marriage.My adoptive parents, who had been waiting outside for so long, couldn't hold back anymore.Dad came in, shooting Eric a disapproving glare. "Can't you handle such a trivial matter? Did y

    Paul's eyes flickered. Without missing a beat, he began to send others away."That's it for tonight, everyone. Sorry for the inconvenience. In a few days, I'll—"I had the bodyguards lock the doors. No one could leave.I said, "Everyone needs to witness what I'm about to reveal.""Shut up!" Paul's eyes blazed. "Susanna, remember that you're still part of the Knight family!""I'm Joanna. Not Susanna."Finally, I could say it aloud."Paul, since last year, you've been searching abroad for a company to help with smuggling. You found Aurex Corporation."Aurex Corporation was Winters Corporation's rival, and our family had been at odds with theirs since I was a child. They thrived where we didn't tread, including and especially illegal businesses."They didn't trust you, so they demanded that you marry off your daughter to their leader as a bargaining chip. You couldn't bear to sacrifice Stella, so you targeted me instead."Even though I had known this for a long time, saying it a

    "It's New Year's Eve. There's no need to get upset over this.""If she spends more time with Stella, she'll change for the better."The guests all silently disapproved of me while praising Stella without hesitation.Eric tried to intervene several times, but I stopped him.When the countdown began on the TV, I slowly pulled out my phone.I sent all the evidence of Stella's affair with Victor to the family group chat, which had 50 members. The chat instantly erupted with scandalous photos and videos."Are those people Stella and Victor?""Oh my goodness! This is insane!"After letting a little time pass to make sure everyone had seen the images, I uploaded even more.Back when Stella tried to sell me to that scam operation, she had gone to their leader herself. Not only had she offered herself in exchange once, but multiple times with multiple men. They had used her to their heart's content for two days before she was given the chance that she asked for.Just a minute ago, she

    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

    "They'll pay for what they did. Every crime has its price."The Knight family should be feeling grateful that they were living in a different country. Here, I could make people disappear completely and silently.But even back home, the law was far stricter than they imagined.When it was over, they would probably regret not living abroad. At least, they might have had a chance to escape.It was New Year's Eve.The Knight residence was packed with guests. My biological father, Paul Knight, was the eldest son of the Knight family, so almost everyone from the extended family gathered at his home to celebrate the holiday.Amid the festive, cheerful atmosphere, my car slowly pulled up to the entrance.As I pushed open the doors to the grand living room, every person there turned toward me, stunned.My biological mother, Amy Buckingham, was the first to react. She hurried over to me, asking, "Weren't you supposed to be overseas for another two weeks? Why are you back early?"Her gaz

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
