Tables Turned Chapter 9
Following the address on the summons, the brothers arrived at the lawyer's office. The moment they saw Lawyer Wilson, they all lowered their heads in respect.James pleaded, "Mr. Graham, please, you have to tell us where our sister is. She's all we have left of our parents."Ryan chimed in, "Mr. Graham, you've known us since we were kids. Our sister is the last piece of our parents we have. Just let us know where she is. We'll do anything.""Mr. Graham, please tell Carol that I was wrong. I deserve the worst, but if she's willing to come back, we'll give her anything she wants!"Wilson's brows knitted together as he let out a cold huff. "You're offering scraps nobody wants. Only now you're feeling regret? Her misery is your doing. Just go back. She'd be sick just looking at you. And her name is Rose, not Caroline. At the trial, bring back what you took. It's the least you owe her."There I was, in the institute, going through my last blood transfusion. I looked like death — pale a

"It wasn't me! She brought it on herself. She must've played the victim to make you think it's my fault. Please, don't believe her," Jasmine pleaded, tears streaming down her face, her voice a mix of hurt and helplessness.However, instead of comfort, James's voice boomed with fury. "Do you have any idea what you did? Her legs were badly hurt that night, and when she fell, we had to rush off for an emergency at the company. We trusted you to take her to the hospital, something we never take lightly. What did you do? You left her alone on the streets?! It's your fault she's lost all hope!"Jasmine's eyes widened, a mix of shock and defiance. "She's just a burden. Seeing her hurt you made me sad every time. Why keep her around? If she wants to die, why should we stop her? It'd be easier if that stray dog took care of her body!""You!" Ryan's eyes were sharp as he slapped her hard across the face.She hit the ground with a thud, hand to her cheek, glaring up at them. "Did you just hit
Tables Turned Chapter 7
Before I left for good, I went back to that rental stay, filled with nothing but trash.Surprisingly, the landlord had not tossed everything out. I burned all the stuff that belonged to my brothers and me, except for one thing — a document that cut all ties with them.Some people treated others like disposable weeds, some treasured them like precious flowers. To them, I was an annoying weed. Now, I was off to tend to a flower of my own, a flower named Rose.A week later, the door that was barely hanging on gave way with a gentle knock, and the breeze that followed sent the document fluttering to the floor."Carol? Are you still mad? I should've told you sooner, the movie theater is owned by our boss and Jasmine is his daughter. We were just there to work as security," James confessed."Check this out, I got you movie tickets! You can finally say you've been to the movies!" Nathan added with a grin."I didn't mean to kick you, dearest sister. If the boss's daughter was unhappy, we
Tables Turned Chapter 6
As Wilson unearthed more proof for me to get back my inheritance, the time to act was now.I could not shake off that nagging feeling — I had to see for myself why Jasmine was so special that my own brothers would favor her.I found myself at the villa Wilson had tracked down, nestled in a garden blooming with jasmine, screaming grandeur like something out of a fairy tale.Jasmine stood in the glass conservatory, cradling a bouquet. Her hair and gown flowed in the breeze. She was the definition of elegance.There I was, my hair chopped short for work, wearing tattered clothes that screamed poverty — a stark contrast to her fairy-tale existence.The bodyguard at the villa saw me as just another beggar on the street, shoving me away with a rough push. My crutches snapped beneath his boot. "Get lost, you filthy beggar. Don't let your stench ruin the precious flowers!"Do you have any idea how much work she put into growing these Jasmines? You'd never be able to pay for the damage ev

"...the cleaner you've been asking for.""You?!" Nathan looked like he had seen a bug, and Ryan backed away like he had seen a ghost.James turned around, ready to lay a word in, "You two better not be-" He clammed up, not another peep.He had that panicked look, then tried to fake some concern. "Carol, shouldn't you be back at your place resting? You're injured and yet here you are, running around."I forced a bitter smile, locking eyes with Jasmine who was hiding behind my brothers, silently judging me as a cripple. "If I didn't get out, how else would I catch you all fawning over her?"The slap echoed sharply, a sudden sting across my cheek.Ryan glared at me, his voice heavy with contempt. "Why are you speaking like that? Have we been too soft on you?"Nathan's kick landed hard against my chest. "Get out of the way! Jasmine's getting scared by your freakish looks!"James's voice carried a chilling warning. "Spout off again, and you'll wish you were dead."Their relentless
Tables Turned Chapter 4
I had no idea how I ended up on the street.Why didn't anyone pick up my calls?My hands shook as I struggled to find that one photo on my cracked, old phone."Carol, you're incredible, earning enough to buy your own phone and even taking a photo with us. You're definitely the toughest one of us all!"That was the only picture I had with my brothers.I cherished that phone like a treasure, never replacing it even though smartphones were everywhere these days.In the end, what good did it do? It was just one photo with them, while they had countless with Jasmine...They were all fakes!The screen, already splintered, was beyond repair after I tossed it in frustration, much like the bond I once shared with them.I had sacrificed so much for them, dropped out of St. Albion University to ease their load, worked myself to the bone with three jobs a day until I was sick, I even missed my chance to move up and out to a thriving city, all because I skimmed on my injury trying to save
