All Chapters of Nine Ungrateful Sisters: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

"There's no need." A long silence settled between them before Oscar finally continued, "Maybe I was born to serve the Chamberlains. Now that they've thrown me out, I have no reason to stay. Besides, they raised me. Consider this my way of repaying that debt.""But..." Rebecca's voice sharpened with frustration. "After everything they did to you, you're just going to let them walk away without consequences?""Walk away without consequences?" Oscar pulled his gaze back and smiled faintly. "Everything the Chamberlains have today exists because of me. Take me out of the equation and tell me how long they last.""But I've heard the Dracobsidian Token holds real power. More powerful than Draconia.""It does. A great deal of power." Oscar reached into his pocket and pulled out a black token. "Want it? I'll give it to you. I've got more than one."In the rearview mirror, Yelena caught sight of the Dracobsidian Token in Oscar's hand. Her eyes nearly bulged out of her head. 'The Dracobsidia

Oscar leaned in close and murmured something beside Rebecca's ear.His breath brushed against her skin. Heat rushed to Rebecca's face before she could stop it.She quickly turned away and tried to act as though nothing had happened. "What kind of idea?""Irene has a very strong sense of territory. Back home in Silverton, you'd call her possessive. That's exactly why seeing us together makes her so angry," he replied. "In the Chamberlain family, I was the one who laughed with her, teased her, and kept her company. Now I'm doing all of that with you."Rebecca tilted her head, still unconvinced. "That's it? Just that?"She understood what he meant. With someone like Irene, there was no point arguing. You didn't fight with her. You simply stood in front of her, visibly enjoying yourself more than she was, and let her torment herself."Want to try?" Oscar leaned back in his seat and looked at her with a quiet smile.Rebecca glanced over her shoulder, bit her lip, then nodded. 'It won

The attendants studied the bruises on Irene's face and eased up slightly. Someone beaten that badly was rarely the one who started the fight. Even a child knew better than to pick a fight they could not win."You two, what happened? Why did you hit them?" one of the train attendants asked.The question carried a sharp edge.Oscar remained calm. He reached over and tapped the seat number tag on the headrest."I'd like to clarify something first. These are our seats. Their seats are behind us." He paused briefly before continuing, "So ask yourself this. Does it look like we dragged them all the way from their seats just to beat them up?"Rebecca picked up the thread without hesitation. "Exactly. They provoked us first. Then they came over to our seats looking for trouble. We lost patience and defended ourselves."She added, "I believe self-defense is the correct term."That pushed Irene past her limit. "That's complete garbage! You were the ones who..--""Who what, exactly?" Osca

Irene could hardly tell them the truth. She had gone over there out of jealousy because that girl was sitting in the place that should have been hers."What happens to us now?" Irene asked quietly."That depends on whether the other party is willing to let it go."Before the officer could finish, his phone rang. He answered, said yes twice, then hung up and stood."Miss Chamberlain, someone has posted bond for both of you. You're free to go."Irene let out a slow breath. A moment later, another officer escorted Giana out from an adjoining room. Phone in hand, she thanked the staff with practiced warmth."Thank you. Really, thank you so much."Watching her sister, Irene forced out a few reluctant words of thanks before the two of them turned and walked out of the security area."Giana." Irene's expression remained calm, but her voice came through clenched teeth. "I can't let this go. She started it, and I'm the one who had to apologize and pay up. I can't swallow that."Giana g

[Alright, Miss Irene. We'll be waiting for you.]Irene: [Consider the money our way of making friends and proving ourselves. There'll be plenty of opportunities for us to work together down the road.]Once the terms were agreed on, the details were settled quickly. Irene committed every dollar from the allowance she had quietly saved over the years.The Chamberlains had money, but Amara kept a tight grip on what Irene actually received. The family covered her room, board, clothing, and every daily expense. Cash that truly made it into Irene's hands was another matter entirely. Her only reliable source had been the New Year money her sisters gave her every year without fail.Now that entire stockpile was gone in a single transaction.As soon as it was over, Irene slumped against Giana with a pitiful look on her face. "Giana…""What's wrong?" Giana pressed a hand to her forehead, thinking she might be feeling sick."This trip to Five Kings Peak… could you give me a little extra sp
