Chapter 2

My brother glanced at me guiltily. We were talking so loudly outside that he must have heard some of it. “Ivy, what are you saying! She’s my sister!” Ivy’s eyes welled up with tears. “I’m sorry! I was just trying to be nice! I went through the same thing, and if it weren’t for you...” My brother immediately felt sorry for her. He looked at me disapprovingly. “Sis, Ivy is not sensible. Don't take her for granted. She grew up in such an environment since childhood and was naturally influenced ” Ivy seemed to have received some kind of signal and looked at me pitifully : “I'm sorry, sister. I shouldn't have done that. In my hometown, a woman like you would be talked about behind your back, so I... I was just trying to help you... And my cousin is really a good person...” My forehead veins throbbed, and I clenched my teeth. Seeing my expression, she cowered fearfully into my brother’s arms. My brother furrowed his brows. “How could my elder sister possibly marry your cousin .” Ivy remained silent like a rabbit, burying her face in her brother’s arms and sniffling. Seeing her like this, I sighed deeply: “Sis, Ivy doesn't mean any harm. She just speaks her mind. Don't worry, I'll teach her properly and correct her bad habits. Please don't tell Mom and Dad, okay?” Looking at my brother's pleading eyes, I suppressed my anger. “Fine! But you better keep an eye on her! Don't come up to me! It's best to teach it well before bringing herover !” Before leaving, Ivy glanced at me secretly. That gaze—it didn’t look friendly at all. The anger I had suppressed flared up again. The butler stopped me and shook his head meaningfully: “Miss Doreen, this won’t work. Let the young master learn from his mistakes.” I think he’s just living too comfortably. I’ll see how long he and Ivy can last. I never mentioned this to my parents. When they asked, I just said it was fine and that we’d talk more about it after they spent more time together. . Before going to bed that night, while removing my makeup at the vanity, I noticed the necklace I’d casually placed in the corner was gone. I didn’t want to think the worst of her. The surveillance footage shows that my younger brother entered my room when he showed her around the house. Then I saw her enter the room alone. She came out sneakily, looking guilty. I was utterly disappointed. Why would my brother be interested in such a woman? At the same time, I came across her online. She was posing as a wealthy woman, wearing my necklace. When my brother came home that night, I showed him the video. He knew that the necklace was a gift from my fiancé. It was the only one in the country. He was shocked and a bit angry. He immediately called to confront her. Hearing her crying on the phone, he softened. “Sis, Ivy didn’t mean it. She was just curious. Forgive her for the sake of the environment she grew up in !” I couldn't believe it and my hands were shaking with anger. “You’re really something!” That night, I packed my things and moved to an apartment near the company. To avoid being driven mad by him.
