Alle Kapitel von Our Love Died Alongside My Sister: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Grayson disliked the smell of alcohol, so over the years, I turned down one gathering after another. Little by little, I lost touch with my friends. I spent every day with him only, and in the end, I did not even have a single person left to borrow money from.I was left with no choice, so I brought Dolly’s ashes back home first.I stood in the doorway and looked down at my worn-out socks and shoes, their soles peeling and paint flaking. I looked painfully out of place in this lavish, gilded villa.For years, Grayson had claimed he was saving up for our marriage by holding on to my salary and tightly controlling my spending.Whether it was using a frayed toothbrush or my clothes coming apart at the seams, I never complained. I even turned down an overseas offer from a top tech company, choosing instead to stay by his side and carry this burden with him.In the end, I lost everything.Sylvia stole my career, and now, she had taken away my sister, my only family. It was time I st

When I got out of the car, Grayson immediately came up and took my hand.“Jade, I know I was wrong to leave you alone yesterday to comfort Sylvia, but it was all part of my plan for revenge.“I initially wanted to register our marriage today as compensation. Look, I even prepared everything, but we still arrived too late. City Hall is already closed. Next time, I’ll definitely marry you.”I had lost count of how many times he had said something like this.Next time, there would be no next time.If he truly wanted to marry me, he would not have deliberately chosen a time when it was closed.“Grayson, honestly...”I pulled my hand back, about to tell him it was not necessary anymore, when he cut me off.“Even though we didn’t get the certificate, don’t worry. Our revenge plan will end tomorrow. I’ll make her lose everything and pay the price for her sins at her celebration banquet.“I’ll treat you to a big meal tonight to make it up to you, all right?”He smiled as he spoke, al

I slapped Grayson’s hand away and said coldly, “It’s over. Grayson, let’s break up.”Grayson’s patience finally snapped.“Break up? Just because I comforted Sylvia?“Or is it because she didn’t approve your salary withdrawal, so you’re using this as an excuse?”I nodded. “Yes. That’s exactly why.”His expression darkened completely.“Your sister is still alive. Is this grudge really worth holding onto?”To him, that money meant nothing. To me, it was Dolly’s life-saving money.I let out a cold laugh and held out my hand.“Exactly. I’m that petty. So, give me back the salary you’ve been holding for me all these years.”Ever since his bankruptcy, Grayson had become extremely sensitive about money.The moment I mentioned it, he went into a full rage, pointing at me and shouting, “Money, money, money! Are you obsessed with money?!“I was helping you keep it safe, yet you’re blaming me for it? Fine! Take it all back. I won’t manage anything for you ever again!”He threw a suppl

Dolly really had been dying, and I really had needed that money to save her.Grayson’s voice on the other end pulled me back to reality.“Jade, this is something extremely serious. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that Dolly had a brain hemorrhage?”I laughed in disbelief.“I did tell you! I told you over the phone. I even explained everything clearly in my messages. But Sylvia is the only one you care about, so of course you didn’t care whether Dolly lived or died!”There was a brief silence on the line. When he spoke again, guilt was obvious in his voice.“Why are you making assumptions about Sylvia and me again? Everything I did was to build her up so I could destroy her later and avenge Dolly…”Before he could finish, I cut him off coldly.“Grayson, do you really think I can’t see through you? Your whole ‘revenge plan’ and setting her up for a fall was nothing more than an excuse for your favoritism toward her.“Ask yourself honestly. Were you really doing this for Dolly? Or

I knew that Grayson’s attempt to keep me was not really about me. It was about binding me to him, tying my interests to his so he could manipulate me and pressure me into withdrawing the lawsuit.I put on a faint smile.“Whether you knew about it or not, my resignation was handled legally and properly. From a legal standpoint, it’s valid. Grayson, I’ve already left. You can’t manipulate me by talking about what’s ‘right’ anymore.”Realizing his leverage had failed, Grayson let out a choked sound. I could faintly hear him clenching his teeth on the other end of the line.“Jade, you’re not young anymore, and the job market is terrible right now. What decent job would you even be able to find without me? Who else would want you besides me?”At that moment, the airport announcement suddenly rang out.“Passengers on flight MG2635 to Freedonia, please proceed to boarding…”Grayson froze for a moment.“Boarding? You’re going abroad?”I let out a cold laugh.“Yes. I forgot to tell yo
