Nine Ungrateful Sisters のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

Bella's face tightened, but she did not want to talk about it.Amara did not press. They were all adults. Bella, the second oldest in the family, was a superintendent known for her sharp mind and capability.Amara trusted her to handle her own problems, so she answered Bella's question instead. "She wasn't hurt, but she's not doing well. She's been crying since the moment she got back. It's like something knocked the life out of her. She's completely fallen apart."Amara stepped aside.Bella saw Freya sitting on the sofa, a heap of used tissues piled on the table in front of her.Their ninth sister, Irene, sat beside her, trying to offer comfort, but it did little. Freya had not looked up at her even once.Irritation flickered through Bella. "What about the others? Something like this happens and they all disappear? Don't they know what state Freya is in?"She had argued with Amara earlier, but she had not known Freya was in this kind of trouble. She had assumed Amara only wante

Amara did not know that Diana had not ignored those calls. In fact, Silverton First Hospital was no longer under their control.An ambulance pulled into Silverton First Hospital. The moment it passed through the gates, the entire building went into lockdown. Armed guards took positions at every entrance and along every corridor."Now. Clear out your best ward immediately. All nonessential personnel out. All doctors on standby."Staff cleared out anyone who was not a patient. They gathered every doctor on duty in one place, confiscated their phones and devices, and issued instructions to suit up and wait."Who's in that ward? All this for one person? You'd think the head of state just checked in," one doctor muttered."Not quite. But not far off," a mid-level administrator said in a low voice."Word is Dr. Caleb Hoffman, the finest physician in the country, is already on a private jet. He'll be here within two hours.""Seriously?""If Dr. Hoffman is flying in from the capital fo

Amara stood there long after Jasper walked away. "What did he mean by that?"She turned the documents over in her hands. The funding contract and the settlement check were both genuine. But how had it come to this?She had spoken in frustration. That was all. She had been worried about Freya, so she had vented at the hospital. If they had simply sent a doctor and taken proper care of Freya, she would not have said another word.Everything she had said out there came in the heat of the moment.'What mother snaps at her child in anger, then watches that child hand over a ledger of every expense from the past decade and walk out the door?' she thought.That was not how this worked.The Chamberlains had funded Silverton First Hospital since its founding. Calling it a Chamberlain institution was no exaggeration. Yet over a few harsh words, Jasper had cut them off completely.Amara could not make sense of it. Neither could Bella or Diana."Amara, did you do something to offend Direct

Natalie's eyes were bloodshot. Every line of her body radiated something cold and lethal. The Chamberlain family would face what was coming.She had been in Silverton long enough to watch Oscar build them up with his own hands, step by step, from nothing. Everything the Chamberlains had, everything they stood on, traced back to him.After all of that, they had not only driven him out, but they had also come after him again and again. Now he lay in a hospital bed, and no one knew how it would end.Natalie's rage had burned past the point of reason. "Round up all the Chamberlain sisters and send them back to their home. Mr. Stone is too soft-hearted to do this himself. I'll make the call for him."She understood why Oscar held back. Arthur had raised him. No matter how much the Chamberlains had done, that decades-old debt sat in his chest and kept his hands still.In Natalie's eyes, that debt had been repaid 100 times over. If not for the Chamberlains, he would not be sick at this a

Amara walked back into the house, still turning the problem over in her mind, searching for a way through. Then she saw Irene's face. The girl looked as if she had seen a ghost.Amara's nerves were already frayed. For days, her sisters had been falling apart one after another. She had nearly convinced herself to find a fortune teller and beg for a reversal of luck. If something had happened to Irene too, she wouldn't want to think about it."Irene, what's wrong?" Amara asked.But Irene did not answer. She was too shaken to speak.Jason sat beside her, his face pale, his expression caught between shock and disbelief."What is going on?" Amara followed their gaze. What she saw sent blood rushing to her face.The Chamberlain residence stood on the mountainside, one of the highest points in all of Silverton. They had always taken pride in that view.Now, through that wide expanse, Amara watched her sisters being thrown through the front gate like bags of trash."How dare you! How d
