Serve No One This Life

Chapter 6

Christopher stepped forward and gave Angela a cold glance, saying, “If you don’t apologize to Fanny for this matter, | will go home and propose a divorce.” Upon hearing this, Angela was expected to panic and come over to apologize, just like before, explaining and pleasing him in a humble manner. Christopher waited for a while, but Angela remained standing there quietly as if this matter had nothing to do with her. Angela looked at Christopher’s expression and felt disgusted. He liked Fanny. So why didn’t she object when the engagement between the two families was arranged?

Don’t make it look like | was the one who begged for the marriage. Fanny’s eyes turned red, and she reached out and grabbed Christopher’s arm, softly saying, “It’s all my fault. Don’t argue anymore. Angela was just angry and spoke without thinking. Don’t be mad at her.” James couldn’t bear to see Fanny like this. Clearly, she was the victim, yet she still stood up to defend Angela, which made him feel heartbroken. He pointed at Angela and shouted. “Angela, do you have any conscience at all? Fanny is defending you like this, and you still don’t know where you went wrong. This is your last chance, so apologize quickly!” Zacharias, on the other hand, pulled Fanny to his side, glaring fiercely at Angela. “Angela, don’t think that Fanny speaking up for you can cover up your mistakes. If you don’t apologize today, you won't hear the end of this.” A trace of surprise flashed in Fanny's eyes. Angela was different now. In the past, as long as her brothers said something harsh, she would immediately panic and do what they said. But this time, no matter how her brothers tried to persuade her, she refused to compromise. She didn’t know what had gotten into her. At this moment, George also walked over and shouted at Angela, “Look at how sensible your sister is and then look at you.

You actually instigated outsiders to bully her and did such shameless things. Angela, you have disgraced our family!” If someone didn’t like you, everything you did would be wrong to them. Looking at these people and listening to their hurtful words, Angela thought her heart would remain unaffected. But her eyes began to sting. How she longed for the warmth of family affection, trying her best to please them, but what did she get in return? In fact, it was the members of the Kins Family, not Fanny, who hurt her the most. Angela lowered her eyes, concealing the indifference in her eyes, and said word by word, “I have already said it just now. | cannot apologize for something | didn’t do.” “You...” George pointed at Angela, almost dying of anger.

Their usually obedient and well-behaved daughter had suddenly turned into this. He didn’t know what had triggered her. “Dad, I'm fine now. Angela is my sister; | won't hold it against her.” Fanny paused and then turned to Angela, saying, “Angela, come and apologize to Dad; make a delicious meal, and that'll be water under the bridge.” Fanny continued to defend Angela, with an attitude of rather being wronged herself than letting Angela suffer. She then turned to Angela, persuading her with a sincere tone that was hard to refuse. Angela sneered, “Then, sister, tell me, where did | go wrong? If you can explain it clearly, | will apologize.” In the past, Angela always thought that Fanny was a good person.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Every time she was criticized by the Kins Family, Fanny would be the first to stand up for her and speak on her behalf, doing everything for her own good. But now, things were different. She saw through Fanny's true colors and would not be deceived by her anymore. This statement caught Fanny off guard. Her expression turned ugly, and tears welled up in her eyes. She just wanted to give Angela a way out, but Angela didn’t play by the rules, leaving her at a loss for words. In the past, whenever Angela faced criticism from her brothers, Fanny would always come to her defense as if it were the most natural thing to do. Now, not only did Angela fail to appreciate it, but she also mocked and ridiculed Fanny, as if she had undergone a complete transformation. “Angela, | didn’t mean anything else. | simply want our family to live in harmony. Isn’t that better than anything else?” Fanny explained helplessly, her eyes red and teary as she gazed at Angela. Her cautious demeanor evoked sympathy from those around her. Christopher couldn’t bear to witness the scene any longer. He took out a red paper and, without uttering a word, threw it at Angela’s face.

“Angela, | am disgusted by women like you who would stoop so low as to harm their own sister. | want a divorce, and | want it now!” No one could intervene. The thick marriage certificate struck Angela, causing her immense pain. She stared coldly at Christopher and retorted, “Fine!” “Christopher, you...” “Fanny, don’t defend Angela any longer. Your kindness is the reason she bullies you like this,” Christopher interrupted before Fanny could finish her sentence. Fanny lowered her gaze, pouting in sorrow. She opened her mouth to speak, but ultimately remained silent.

Angela chuckled softly, bending down to pick up the marriage certificate. She examined it intently. Indeed, it was a marriage certificate. Then, Angela tore it up without any expression on her face and threw it towards Christopher. “Since you have feelings for Fanny anyway, and now that the marriage certificate is destroyed, we have no further connection. Choose your own partner, and you and Fanny should marry quickly and cease causing trouble for others.” As she uttered these words, Angela inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction. A scoundrel and a wretch make a perfect couple.
