All Chapters of My Three Brothers Regret After I Abandoned Them: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 11A deadly silence gripped the magnificent dining room. It was as if the air had been sucked out, leaving behind a thick tension capable of crushing bones. The late Madam's blue diamond necklace—the most sacred heirloom of the Carter family—was clutched tightly in Hannah's trembling fingers. The middle-aged woman stared at the sparkling object, then slowly raised her head, casting a hateful and furious gaze at Ivy, who was still standing in the doorway."Ivy!" Hannah screamed, her voice shattering the morning silence with a viciously accusatory tone. "How dare you! Wasn't all the drama you caused yesterday enough? And now you dare to steal a family heirloom?!"That shout was like the trigger of a time bomb. Arthur, Jensen, and Redy immediately stepped forward in unison. The three men's faces darkened terrifyingly, the veins in their temples tensing as they struggled to contain the rage that had already reached its peak. To them, stealing an ancestral heirloom was the ultimate

The morning air on campus felt warm, yet the atmosphere in the main courtyard of the Faculty was filled with waves of conspicuous whispers and rumors. Amid the crowd of passing students, Sarah Sechan stood gracefully near the campus fountain. Dressed in a pastel knit dress layered with a soft wool cardigan and adorned with pearl accessories in a distinctly Korean-inspired style, she was surrounded by a handful of popular students who used to constantly trail behind Ivy."Oh my gosh, Sarah! So the news is true? You're the biological daughter of the real Carter conglomerate family?" asked a curly-haired female student in a hysterical tone, her eyes sparkling with feigned admiration.Sarah smiled sweetly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear with a deliberately shy gesture. She intentionally raised her voice so the people around her could hear."Ah, you guys... Actually, I don't like showing off. But yes, it's true. My family's official welcoming ceremony will be held tomorrow night o

The heavy iron door of the basement creaked loudly, its sound echoing against the damp, cold walls and reflecting the suppressed groans within. The smell of old dust and damp earth immediately pierced Ivy's senses, mingling with the salty taste of blood that was once again seeping from the corner of her lips. The girl sat on the hard floor, hugging her knees as they trembled violently while her breathing came in ragged gasps. The pain from the acute leukemia ravaging her internal organs throbbed relentlessly, as though thousands of invisible needles were tearing through her chest from within.Before her, Arthur, Jensen, and Redy stood like merciless executioners. Their large silhouettes blocked the only dim source of light from the corridor's hanging lamp, creating shadows that felt terrifying and suffocating."Listen, Sarah," Arthur said in a heavy voice filled with restrained anger, briefly glancing toward the girl in the pastel dress standing in the doorway. "Never plead to defend

Chapter 17The midday sunlight pierced through the gaps in the iron ventilation grilles of the basement, breaking through the darkness that had accompanied Ivy throughout the night. The damp, cold temperature of the room made Ivy’s joints feel unbearably stiff, as if every bone in her body had frozen. Her breaths came short and shallow, trembling as a constant pain struck her chest each time her lungs expanded.The sound of heavy iron scraping roughly across the floor shattered the silence. The basement door swung wide open, revealing the silhouettes of three men standing there with cold, disgusted expressions. Arthur, Jensen, and Redy looked down at Ivy with contempt as she sat weakly on the dusty concrete floor.“Get up!” Arthur barked mercilessly, his voice echoing through the cramped room. “Don’t pretend to be unconscious or try to seek attention again. I opened this door not to let you whine, but so you can get ready!”Jensen snorted sarcastically, folding his arms across his che

Chapter 19The clock showed twenty minutes past six in the evening. Inside her cramped bedroom, Ivy stood motionless before the mirror that reflected the upper half of her body. A simple evening gown made of thin, dark maroon satin—a matching color deliberately chosen by the Carter family so she would look coordinated yet still like a mere extra standing beside Sarah—wrapped around her slender body. The color contrasted sharply with her pale, almost translucent skin, accentuating her prominent collarbones.She lightly powdered her face to conceal the remaining bruises on her cheek and the corner of her lips, which still stung painfully. Before she could even fix her long, loose hair, a loud knock struck the door, followed by the squeak of hinges as the door opened without permission.Sarah Sechan stepped inside gracefully. The curly-haired girl was wearing a shimmering lilac haute couture evening gown that glittered beneath the bedroom lights. The sweet, innocent smile she usually wor
