Mated to my sister’s ugly mate

Shadow stood behind Henry and took half a step back. She wanted to stay away from this man. She put a look of confusion in her face. “I really didn’t do it.”

“Henry, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to protect this ugly bitch?” Jessica said angrily. If looks could kill, the other two would’ve already been ten feet into the ground.

“What the hell are you talking about? She’s your sister.” Now, he was starting to see her true colors, the more he looked, the more he disliked Jessica .

Jessica , however, still didn’t back down. She had been spoiled ever since she was young, always getting what she wanted when she asked for it. “Stop pretending to be such an angel. Wasn’t it your idea to frame her? To get her to admit that she stole my fiance? If anything, you played a part in this too!”

“Even if I did, it’s because I believed in all your nonsense. But now I’ve finally seen who the real monster is.” Henry replied.

“Real monster? Oh, you haven’t seen nothing yet!”

Shadow looked at the two people arguing in front of her. Then she glanced at Henry. She felt that she had underestimated what this man was capable of.

He had always been a man of integrity, a man who had always had her back when everyone was opposing her. Back then, he never really cared how she looked or acted, and it was for this exact reason that his betrayal caught her off guard.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too late to act.

“Shut up!” Shadow walked out from behind Henry, looked at him and said, “After you! I want to have a talk my sister.”

Henry softened upon seeing her distraught features. Back then, he had been so devoted to Jessica that he readily believed what she had to say, and now that her true colors were revealed, he was starting to side with Shadow . After all, as of late, she was the least troublesome sibling in the Eden family.

In his eyes, the two were still blood-related siblings. Even if they were to have any conflicts, they would have the mind to do it behind closed doors. Perhaps that was why Shadow wanted to be left alone with her. With one last nod, he left.

As soon as he walked away, Jessica didn’t waste any time as she pounced towards her. “You slut! You’re the one who did it! You’re the one who ruined everything for me!”

Shadow had already expected that she’d do something like this. Before the woman could even jump, she stepped to the side, causing Jessica to stumble and pounced on the ground.

Shadow squatted down and grabbed ahold of Jessica ‘s hair. Her once fearful eyes were as hard as diamonds.

“Jessica , you deserve it. Perhaps you shouldn’t have set me up.”

Before she could react, Shadow had already pulled her hair up. No matter how much Jessica struggled out of Shadow ‘s grip, it only encouraged her to grip her hair even tighter. Jessica struggled to lift her head in the direction where Shadow grabbed her hair to alleviate the pain.

Jessica screamed. Her face had turned pale from the pain. “Are you crazy? How dare you treat me like this? Just wait till I get to Lisa …”

Shadow sneered and slapped her face.

Jessica heard a loud slap!

Shadow slapped her many times.

So much resentment rose to her chest as she glared down at the woman beneath her. At this point, she already had enough of her threats!

“I won’t let… Lisa … get away with this…”

Jessica ‘s face was already swollen, and she stared at Shadow in disbelief. This was the first time she had seen the later in such a violent state. She was so afraid that she stuttered.

A gentle smile appeared on Shadow ‘s lips. “The slaps you just got? You owe me these. If you’re still really adamant about using Lisa as a way to threaten me, then I say go for it. Do whatever you want to her.”

Although Shadow said like that, she knew that she couldn’t be so ruthless towards Lisa .

If she had been ruthless, she would have taken revenge on them after being forced to mated Alpha Kilian .

If they hadn’t been this cruel to her, by forcing her hand and by framing her, perhaps Shadow would’ve let it all go. After all, she had planned to live a more peaceful life the moment she had been married off, but it seemed that it was no longer a viable option for her.

“I suggest you keep quiet in the future. You might never know what skeletons I have dug out of your closet.” Shadow finally let go of Jessica ‘s hair, stood up and left.

After a few seconds, Jessica slowly got up from the ground. Her cheek was so swollen that she almost didn’t look human. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with malice as she glared at Shadow ‘s retreating figure.

“You’ll pay ten times for what you’ve done to me today.”

…

Some might say that paying back for one’s sins would grant a feeling of satisfaction, but Shadow couldn’t really say the same. Even as she had walked out of the restaurant, she still didn’t feel happy with their predicament.

After all, no matter what she had done, Jessica was still her step-sister. They had the same father and had shared the same lives all these years. Although this was true, it seemed that the fates had only destined them to be enemies.

She wasn’t in a good mood and the interview in the afternoon didn’t go well.

On the way back, she received a phone call from Hazel.

“Shadow , did you receive an interview invitation from Nine Clouds Media?”

“How did you know?” She blinked in surprise.

She remembered Hazel and Xavier had addressed each other that day. Was he the one who told her? But they were enemies, weren’t they? Or was that really how other celebrities greeted each other in the show business.

Even then, Xavier was the CEO of one of the largest media enterprises in the country! There was no way that he’d care about such a small matter, especially if it was about hiring new employees.

“Don’t worry about how I know,” Hazel quickly said. “Do you even know how big of a company that is? And you’ve chosen not to go? Are you stupid?”

“Nine Clouds also contacted you. Haven’t you done the same thing?” Shadow countered.

Hazel was silent for a moment. Then she said. “The only reason I didn’t sign with them was that I didn’t like Xavier. I mean, you saw how he was! But you don’t have any grudges against him! It would be a waste of time if you didn’t at least try it out.”

Shadow was about to say something else when she heard someone calling Hazel’s name from the other end of the line.

“I have to go now. I have a banquet to attend tonight. I have to put on makeup and pick out a dress. I’ll call you later, okay? If not, tomorrow.”

Ding!

Before she could even react, Hazel had already hung up.

Shadow was depressed. She had told “Alpha Dominic ” that she was unwilling to work for Nine Clouds Media.

She didn’t expect to eat her words this quickly!

In truth, the only reason why she had chosen to major in drama and literature was because of Hazel. At least, that was half the reason.

Hazel had always dreamt to be an actress on the big screen and to support her, Shadow was interested in writing out scripts that would not only showcase her talents but also her wide range of emotions. In such a way, she had always thought that they’d be partners in the entertainment industry, trading thoughts and secrets now and then.

But now that Hazel was working for Nine Clouds’ competitor, it wouldn’t be easy for Shadow to write a good script for her if she were accepted to Nine Clouds Media. In fact, it was totally impossible!

Now that Hazel already knew of this, she’d only blame herself up if Shadow didn’t take the opportunity right in front of her.

Perhaps, Nine Clouds Media was really her future after all.

The best she could do was not to let “Alpha Dominic ” know of this arrangement.

…

When Shadow had already arrived at the entrance of the Castle , she saw a black car slowly driving towards the entrance as well. Her eyes narrowed at the sleek finish and the tinted windows. Even from afar, the car was enough to catch anyone’s attention.

It was a limited edition Bentley. The car model was very rare, especially in this Pack . In fact, it was the first time she had really spotted such a customized design. It was slick, beautiful and low-key.

Shadow thought that this car was quite nice. The owner of the car must be a low-key person. Not only that, but he should be calm and steady.

Just then, the car door opened, revealing “Alpha Dominic ” getting out of the car…

When Alpha Kilian was in the car, he spotted Shadow . He came up to her and smiled. “Hi, Mrs. Lances.”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Frank followed behind Alpha Kilian and got out of the car. He was anxious when he heard that Alpha Kilian called Shadow “Mrs. Lances.”

“Hi.” Nodding hurriedly, Shadow raced into the living room. The last thing she needed was to be with him again.

As the two men walked into the Castle , she couldn’t help but wonder why “Alpha Dominic ” was frequently with Frank . As he was Alpha Kilian ‘s assistant, shouldn’t he be with him instead of “Alpha Dominic “? Or was this another one of their arrangements?

But she didn’t care much about it. If Frank was here, that meant Alpha Kilian was here as well. She could make dinner for him.

After dinner, she went back to her room and surfed the Net.

She browsed a trending post.

“The entertainment circle is complicated. My friend gave me an invitation to a banquet. I decided to attend because I had nothing better to do, thinking that it was just a proper dinner. But I didn’t know it was going to be like this!”

There was a video below.

There were many rich kids partying around, and at one part of the video, Shadow could see Hazel’s figure. The camera flashed around her back. If they hadn’t been friends for so long, she also wouldn’t have recognized her.

Hazel had said that there would be a banquet tonight. Was she still there?

Shadow hurriedly took out her phone and called Hazel, but no one picked up.

Shadow was shocked. Did something happened to her?

She couldn’t wait anymore. She picked up her bag and ran out.

Not bothering to think much, she went straight to the place the banquet was held and sneaked in. There was an ambiguous feeling around the banquet hall. She searched the entire banquet hall and couldn’t find Hazel.

Shadow was anxious. But just as she was about to move any farther into the bar, she felt someone grab her arm. When she about to turn around to see what was happening, another person grabbed her other arm. Then after the person pinched her chin and poured the alcohol into her mouth.

Aftere drinking a glass of the alcohol, her vision immediately blurred around her, and her body turned limp. With a nod, two people took her away…
