Megan’s eyes turned red. She held Yolanda’s hand and said, “Yolanda, I just don’t think should be like this.

“You don’t know how jealous I was of you back in school. You were so dazzling then, proud like a little princess.”

Yolanda lowered her eyes. The truth was, she had never been proud.

People thought she shined because she was the daughter of the Grant family. But everyone in the circle knew she had been adopted for a marriage alliance. Before the age of ten, she had lived in an orphanage.

For the past two years, Charles had given her 60 thousand dollars every month, but she always sent half of it back to the orphanage.

She never forgot how she had gotten where she was, so she pushed herself to do everything perfectly. In school, she studied hard, determined to take first place in every exam.

But she hadn’t expected that what wasn’t truly hers could never be forced. No matter how hard she tried, Charles still didn’t care about her.

So she no longer wasted her efforts hoping for Charles’s love.

Yolanda felt a bit tired. Just as she was about to say she needed to rest, her phone rang. It was Charles.

He usually only called when it was about business.

As soon as she answered, his voice came through. “Let’s have dinner at the Sinclair manor later. You’re not home?”

“No. I’m at the hospital,” Yolanda said.

“Your fever hasn’t gone down yet?” Charles asked.

“It’s gone,” Yolanda said. “I’m here visiting a colleague. Come pick me up.”

Yolanda lowered her gaze, grabbed the new clothes Megan had bought, and headed to the restroom to change.

Megan tried to stop her. “Are you crazy? You just had your stomach pumped, and now you’re going to dinner with him?”

Yolanda’s face was pale as she sighed. “It’s about the Sinclair family, I can’t put it off.”
