"Hello, I'm the driver for 'Wind Chaser'. My car has a blue license plate, number A2219. I'm currently in the alley next to the RK bar. You can come out now." Eva heard the loud voices in her ears and hung up after making sure the other party had heard her.

A drunken, disheveled woman quickly got into the car. She was slender and wore a tight, bright red skirt that clung to her hips and covered her buttocks. Two thin straps adorned her shoulders, while the V-neckline revealed her breasts.

"Ugh..." After she sat down, she raised her head and vomited dry vomit twice.

Eva handed her two paper napkins.

She was about to say, "Don't drink too much," when she saw the person sitting in the back seat. Her hand, which had been raised in mid-air, trembled and froze, and her delicate face went pale.

This familiar face belonged to her cousin Nora, whom she hadn't seen for five years.

Nora was also shocked as she stared at the beautiful face in front of her, and she began to regain her senses from the intoxication now.

The dim streetlights reflected through the glass window, casting a Tiffany blue hue across Eva's delicate face, making her features appear serene and gentle. Her thick black hair fell naturally over her small, soft, white face, and her eyebrows were thin and long, while her clear, bright eyes gazed at her in surprise.

## An unexpected confrontation

During the day, Grady had happily told her that Eva, despite leaving University H, was now a well-paid employee at a large company with a good salary and benefits. He even chided her, saying, "You should learn from your cousin. Even though you didn't go to University H, you graduated from a recognized university. Don't just think about playing around all day; hurry up and find a respectable job."

He even compared her to Eva, who was a child abandoned by her biological parents and came to their home to live as a burden on them, yet Grady always protected her.

She was truly furious. Who was his real daughter, anyway? He had always praised Eva and compared her to her. That was the case five years ago, and it was still the same now that Eva had been gone for five years.

She had left home pregnant, yet Grady still held Eva in high regard. Nora felt suffocated and decided to come to the bar to cheer herself up a bit.

"Is this what your job at the big company looks like?" Nora was a little surprised, then suddenly burst out laughing, and laughed so hard her stomach hurt.

Because she remembered that she was the one who had requested the "Wind Chaser" driver, and Eva was the driver sent to pick her up. She understood most of the truth in her heart, and the corners of her mouth were filled with sarcasm.

She lied without even thinking — it was almost hilarious.

Eva's cold, apricot-like eyes were filled with deep pain. She didn't want to say another word to Nora, so she threw a tissue to Nora, who was clutching her stomach.

She was afraid that Nora would complain, and she couldn't abandon her, so she turned around and started the car.

Eva was Nora's older sister and knew that Nora was making fun of her. But Nora was her uncle's only child, and her uncle loved her very much. Eva was grateful to her uncle for giving her shelter, so she overlooked all the injustices.

But she never imagined that someone would destroy her chastity and innocence. How could she do such a wicked thing!

When she thought about the hardships she had endured all these years, and the suffering she and Rosie had experienced, her nails dug deep into her palms, and she felt a tightness in her chest.

The child is in the front seat.

At that moment, Nora, who had stopped laughing, saw the little girl in the front passenger seat as well.

The little girl had an apple-shaped face, with delicate, arched eyebrows beneath her slightly curled bangs. She looked really cute.

If she hadn't been Eva's daughter, perhaps she would have loved her — but she was Eva's child, the child of that rebellious woman!

"Is this the illegitimate child? You're driving with a child in your car!" Her tone was full of sarcasm and contempt.

"......"

Eva pretended she hadn't heard anything, as if Nora's words were nothing but empty words. She gripped the steering wheel tightly, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

Seeing Eva ignore her made Nora even angrier; she wanted to provoke her.

"In any case, you are not innocent or pure either. Why don't you sell yourself and relieve yourself of all this trouble!"

She was just an outcast child, unwanted by her parents, yet she was loved by her grandfather and competed with him for the affections of her father, Grady. Why did she have to compete with him?

Nora simply hated her, to the point that she felt nauseous just by seeing her.

"It's all your fault," Eva gritted her teeth. She really didn't want to believe such vile words were coming from her sister's mouth. But if she was capable of such a heinous act, then it was no wonder she was capable of such malicious words.

As she watched the passing scenery, her heart ached, and tears welled in her eyes. Rosie was asleep, and she didn't want to argue with Nora for fear of waking Rosie and making her uncomfortable; Rosie knew nothing.

In fact, Rosie was already awake. Her mother was very calm and collected; she'd never seen her angry with anyone, nor had she ever heard her mention any friends. Who was this drunken aunt?

Why were they arguing? Was her father a married man?

Aunt's words were very malicious, and Rosie didn't like them. But she also wanted to know who her father was and why he didn't want them.

She narrowed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

"It's all because of you? It's your fault! Have you forgotten how many false accusations you made against me?"

In high school, Nora had a crush on someone and followed him to a bar. She told Eva Grady about it, and he caught them in the act and even slapped Nora. Eva explained countless times that she only went to the bar to look for Nora, who was with a shady character, fearing Nora might get into trouble. Grady had heard about it from someone else and also came to the bar, but Nora kept insisting that Eva had betrayed her.

"I'll check you out too," Nora scoffed coldly. "Not only are you ill-mannered, but you're also lying about your job. You're not a high-ranking employee with good benefits, but just a taxi driver with a child. My father may treat you well, but he's not your real father. You're just an outcast child, and I bet you have no place in his heart anymore."

Eva choked back her tears and gritted her teeth, wanting to throw Nora out. Suddenly, the shameful scene from five years ago flashed before her eyes.

Eva pressed hard on the brakes.

Nora, who was drunk and weak, almost crashed into the window.

"Do you want to kill me?" Nora shouted angrily at Eva.

Eva took a deep breath; she had acted impulsively, and Rosie was still asleep in the car.

"Don't tell my uncle about me," Eva softened her tone. She didn't just want him to worry. After all, he had raised her for ten years, given her shelter, and she had always considered him her father. The look of disappointment in his eyes that year had left a mark on her heart, and she didn't want to feel it again.

"Why not?" Nora sounded arrogant and conceited, as if she were in control.

"Because you fabricated a charge against me and brought someone to trap me!
