Chapter 3 Threatening

  • Mrs. Millar's heart ached as she hugged the young girl, "Alright, you won't have to marry that man. Amelia, you are so beautiful, of course you will marry the best man. Since you do not want to marry him, let your elder sister marry him!"
  • "She is not my elder sister. She does not have the bloodline of the Millar family." Amelia said in disdain. Then, she changed her tone and said, "Even if I want to marry, I have to marry Ezekiel. He is the future leader of the Reynolds family."
  • Sienna went back to her room in a daze. The door closed and she leaned against the door. She slowly slid down and sat on the carpet all of a sudden.
  • She hugged her knees as tears streamed down her face.
  • She didn't even know whether Leon was alive or not, but her family actually let her replace Amelia and get married.
  • If she didn't marry off, the Millar family would cut off her brother's treatment fees.
  • But if she married...
  • What about Leon?
  • Why would God do this to her?
  • There was a knock on the door. "Sienna, I know you're in the room. Can Mom talk to you?"
  • Sienna's body stiffened and her fingers tightened.
  • After a moment of silence, she still opened the door.
  • Mrs. Millar did not care if her daughter had changed off her wet clothes as she walked in and said, "Sienna, I know you hate me. But I have no choice! Back then, I brought Steven and you to marry into the Millar family. You don't know how much suffering I've suffered. The Millar family also treated the two of you as their own. They gave you two the surname of the Millar family. They even provided you with books and treated your brother's illness. As you know, your brother's illness is probably not going to be cured in this lifetime. If there is no good hospital, he won't be able to live for long."
  • Sienna's lowered eyes hid endless sorrow.
  • "Every time I think that because of us, the Millar family would be forced into debt by the Reynolds family, I feel very guilty. If we don't have everything in front of us, what will you and Steven do?"
  • Mrs. Millar pretentiously wiped the corners of her eyes. "I am doing it for your own good. Although that person is just the adopted son of Reynolds family, he is still the eldest son of the Reynolds family. If you marry him, you will be the Eldest Young Madam! Even if he is not the leader of the Reynolds family, Ezekiel would still care about his brother. He will let you live a life of wealth and glory."
  • Seeing Sienna remain unmoved, Mrs. Millar finally used her ultimate killing move. She turned around and burst into tears, "My life is so tough! I have three children in my life. One is a fool from a young age. One is not filial and wants to force me, this mother, to death! The poor Amelia is still so young and will be a child without a mother. I might as well die now! What's the point of living?"
  • Every time Mrs. Millar behaved like this, Sienna would compromise.
  • But this time, Sienna only lightly asked, “Mom, Leon has been filial to you since he was young. He would bring gifts to visit during festivals. He is in trouble now. Have you ever asked me about his situation?"
  • As soon as the words left her mouth, Sienna's eyes instantly turned red and she almost burst into tears again.
  • "Isn't he already dead? He is just a dead person. What is there for me to ask?" Mrs. Millar blurted out, "If I didn't see some power in Leon's family, why would I agree to your relationship?"
  • Sienna closed her eyes hard and tears fell down.
  • She really did not want to admit that the person who said this was her mother.
  • In her eyes, other than Amelia and herself, who else did she care about?
  • "Besides, didn't I find you a better fiancé now? Sienna, don't be ungrateful. Compared to the Reynolds family, Leon’s family is nothing. Let me warn you. If you dare to refuse to marry him, I will immediately stop Steven's treatment!"
  • Mrs. Millar's patience ran out. She stood up straight and left the room without even looking at Sienna.
  • What she just said? That was her own son! She actually wanted to use her own son to threaten her daughter!
  • Listening to the door being closed, Sienna could no longer control her emotions. She hugged her knees and wailed.
  • A figure timidly stood in front of her at this moment and timidly said, "Anna, your clothes are wet."
  • Sienna heard this voice and slowly raised her head.
  • Steven's charming face instantly entered her eyes.
  • Sienna immediately stood up and threw herself into Steven's arms, venting all of her grievances with tears.
  • No one in the Millar Family noticed her drenched in rain. Only her autistic brother noticed her.
  • "Brother..." Sienna tightly hugged Steven's waist and sobbed.
  • "Don't cry, Anna, don't cry." Steven's body stiffened, but he still mechanically stroked Sienna's head.
  • Sienna coaxed Steven to sleep and sat at the side in a daze.
  • From the moment she remembered, taking care of her brother became her responsibility.
  • She did not know when her brother had been diagnosed with autism. From then on, he would never communicate with anyone.
  • Other than Sienna who could approach him, no one else could approach him.
  • Sienna reached out her hand to gently stroke her brother's cheek and her heart became soft.
  • Her brother looked extremely flirtatious. He was so beautiful that no one could tell whether he was a man or a woman. In terms of looks, he was the only person who could be equally matched with Ezekiel. One of them was pretty and the other was charming.
  • However, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
  • Her older brother could only be locked up in a room, immersed in a lonely world.
  • Ezekiel, on the other hand, was the king of the financial world.
  • When Sienna thought of Ezekiel, she felt that her mood was terrible.
  • Her brother had been treated for a long time and was now willing to communicate with her. The doctor said that he would be able to communicate with her like a normal person very soon.
  • At this critical juncture, how could they cut off his treatment?
  • However, all the money she earned was taken away by her mother for the sake of nourishing her brother's body. Moreover, she still owed a million yuan.
  • If the Millar family wasn't willing to pay...
  • Sienna did not dare to think about it anymore.
  • She could not imagine Steven falling into darkness and loneliness again.
  • No, absolutely not!
  • Ezekiel shook the wine glass in his hand and looked at his elder brother, who suddenly came to visit. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
  • "Give me a reason. Why should I marry in your place?"
  • Travis Reynolds was Ezekiel's elder brother. He was the adopted son of the Reynolds family.
  • Travis poured all the wine in the cup into his mouth and let out a long sigh. "Ezekiel, I have officially renounced the inheritance of the Reynolds family."
  • "But this is not enough for me to accept your marriage as a bargaining chip." Ezekiel smiled. His eyes flashed. "Change your conditions."
  • "If I tell you, I already know where the little girl you have been searching for is. What do you think?" Travis suddenly raised his eyes and looked at his brother, who had already shown his power.
  • Ezekiel's fingers suddenly tightened, and his handsome face instantly changed. "Are you serious?"
  • Travis nodded. "The last place she appeared was exactly where I am going. I can ask around for you."
  • Ezekiel hesitated.
  • Travis said immediately, "Old Madame will chase her away as long as she is not pregnant in a year. You just need to give up your freedom for a year."
