One year, one love by Aurora Miller

Chapter 94

“Dad, why are you so stubborn? She has done more for this family than Rupert and I combined–why can’t you see her worth?” Laura refused to back down. “You don’t care about her as a daughter or as a sister, but I care about my sister”

Laura firmly grasped Doris‘ hand, her eyes unwavering. “I won’t let you all bully her anymore.”

Doris looked at Laura and smiled softly, squeezing her hand in return. She wasn’t fighting alone. She had Laura, who loved and protected her, and that was enough for her.

“Laura, you’ve really turned against me.” Jimmy was livid.

He turned his fury back to Doris. “Your sister has always been obedient and never talked back to me. It must be you who corrupted her! You’re the reason this family is in chaos.”

“This has nothing to do with Doris. I used to comply with you just to keep the peace, but you’ve gone too far. Even after we got married, you still want to control us, squeezing us dry without caring if we live or die.

“We’re human beings with feelings–we hurt too! But have you ever cared? You only care about Rupert. You would sacrifice Doris and me for him without hesitation.

“So why should I keep obeying you?” Laura had finally seen through their parents‘ selfishness. “I’ve done everything I could for this family. From now on, you can rely on Rupert.”

“You planned this, didn’t you? Trying to make me miserable on purpose?” Jimmy sneered. “Don’t forget who gave you life and raised you. Repaying your parents is your duty. And you’re fighting with your brother over this? You’re the ones who are selfish.”

“Exactly! Doris, you’ve turned Laselfish too.” Rupert fanned the flames, relishing the drama.

“Rupert, shut up!” Laura snapped at him. “You’re this reckless and spoiled because Mom and Dad coddled you too much.”

Rupert felt stifled.

“Doris, you should go home first.” Laura felt sorry for Doris, who hadn’t rested and still had to deal with such a family.

“I said you’re not allowed to leave,” Jimmy ordered.

It seemed like he wouldn’t back down until Doris resolved the issue.

“What if I insist on leaving today?” Doris refused to be pushed around.

“Then try it.” Jimmy challenged.

The vibe was tense, like a standoff. No one dared to say a word.
