Nine Ungrateful Sisters のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 581 - チャプター 590

All of Silverton answered to the Archon of the Draconox Order, and he had returned to the naming ceremony to settle accounts with Amara and the entire Chamberlain family for what they had done.The moment Irene heard that, every thought of going to law enforcement vanished. Even if the check were found, even if someone returned it to her, would it still belong to her?She finally understood what Amara had feared. It was Oscar. The Oscar she had never given a second thought to.How was he the Draconox Archon? She couldn't make sense of it. She had turned the question over in her mind for days and still could not find an answer.Thus, she stayed, drifting around the airport, picking up odd jobs, and digging through trash bins with her bare hands.She knew the odds were almost nonexistent, but doing something was the only way she could live with herself.She had thought about going back, finding her sisters, and asking for help. But when she made her way to the Chamberlain house, it

Oscar suppressed the impulse and softened his voice. "Don't worry, Becca. I'm doing well. Besides, isn't there something satisfying about watching someone you have every reason to resent sit there looking miserable?"They spent years complaining that I never did anything visible enough to count. Look at her face right now. Totally worth it."Rebecca glanced toward the front seat. Diana had been staring out the window, but at that exact moment, she looked back.Their eyes met.Diana flinched as if she had been caught off guard and immediately snapped her head forward.Oscar's voice turned sharp. "Turn back around. Let Becca get a proper look at you."Diana slowly faced the back again, her teeth clenched. Her eyes remained downcast. She couldn't bring herself to meet Rebecca's gaze.Her lips were pressed into a thin, tight line, and the discomfort on her face was obvious even from a distance.Oscar had given an order, so she obeyed. She turned, sat there in silence, and endured i

The colleague who once called you a mentor was now listed on the Liberussian stock exchange. The brother who could never do anything right in his parents' eyes was now pouring expensive liquor and sitting in the seat of honor at family dinners.You were supposed to be happy for them. These were people you cared about. Wasn't their success exactly what you had always wanted for them?Sadly, people were petty creatures with loose tongues. "Look at so-and-so now."You heard it once, then twice, then three, four, and five more times from people you had never even been close to. How could that not eat away at you?Diana wasn't hearing it secondhand. She was living it in real time, right in front of her. That made it even worse."Bro, your new help has terrible instincts. We've been sitting here, and she hasn't offered anyone a drink."Rebecca's voice pulled Diana out of her thoughts. She hadn't even noticed them settle onto the sofa. She had been standing there like a statue.She ste

"You know him?" Oscar asked.Rebecca nodded, then quickly shook her head. "We were on the same flight back. Oh, and he gave me his card too."She dug through her bag and pulled it out. She had never intended to keep it. But when she got off the plane, the card had been sitting conspicuously on the empty seat, and tossing someone else's belongings onto the floor had felt wrong.Then everything that happened outside the terminal drove the card from her mind. She never came across a bin, so it ended up in her bag."Oh?" Oscar drawled.Rebecca filled him in on the encounter, the snacks, and everything else that had happened.Then she offered her assessment. "How do I put this? He's obviously wealthy, but he doesn't carry himself like someone with money. He's more like a well-meaning fool from a rich family. He was straightforward, though. I'll give him that. We didn't really talk."Oscar nodded, then looked at her properly for the first time."You know, I didn't notice until just n

Yet the sisters had called it wasted effort. They had called Oscar dead weight. They had said he never led the family to the standing it deserved.They had enjoyed everything a city could offer, every advantage, every comfort. Was that not enough?A voice surfaced in the back of Diana's mind. 'But he never did any of this for any of us. Not once, the whole time he lived with us. If he had, would Amara ever have called him useless?'She couldn't answer that. She couldn't even fully grasp the question. It was the one thing that lay beyond her guilt, the part she couldn't reach no matter how long she turned it over in her mind.Why?…Rebecca was asking herself the same question at almost that exact moment."It can't be something out of a drama. Some three-year oath not to reveal your true strength?"She smiled as she said it.Oscar answered automatically, "Of course not."Then he fell silent. After a long pause, he spoke again, choosing his words with care. "No. Nothing like th
