Chapter 2 Demanding An Explanation

• When Angela opened her eyes again, she felt groggy and struggled for a while before finally seeing the scene in front of her.
• The mottled gray wall was adorned with a red cross, and there was a slightly old table next to the bed. A strong smell of medicine wafted into her nostrils, making her already throbbing head even heavier and dizzier.
• Didn’t I fall from the stairs and die? Why am I in the hospital?
• The red-painted wooden door was forcefully pushed open, causing the dust on the wall to fall continuously. Then, a group of people stormed in.
• One of them was her father, George. He glanced at Angela and questioned, "Angela, why did you let those bullies harm Fanny? Didn’t you know that your actions could have endangered her life?"
• Upon hearing the news, Angela was initially stunned, and suddenly, some vague memories became clear.
• In 2004, she was nineteen years old and had just started university. On the way home with Fanny, they encountered a few gangsters, and both of them were injured while resisting.
• Although Angela was more seriously injured, her entire family thought it was all her fault and sought justice for Fanny instead.
• Her forehead was cut open and stitched up, while Fanny only had a small bump on her forehead. However, Angela was accused of 'instigating the gangsters to harm her sister.'
• Angela suddenly woke up and realized she had been reborn!
• She was back in 2004. Her body was healthy, and she had not yet sacrificed everything for the Kins family!
• The tragic ending of her previous life was vivid in her mind. This time, she would no longer demean herself, for she had finally understood that the hearts of the Kins family were made of stone, and could never be warmed.
• So, this time, she didn't plan to explain either. After all, no one would believe her even if she did.
• Angela regained her composure and asked calmly, "But did she die?"
• George's pupils contracted; he paused for a moment and then angrily shouted at Angela, "Angela, that's inhumane! How can you be so malicious and curse your sister to death?!"
• Angela’s oldest brother James was even more furious. He rushed toward Angela and glared down at her. "Angela, I can't believe our family has someone as malicious as you. We shouldn't have brought you back in the first place. We should have let you fend for yourself outside."
• Angela simply looked deeply at him without saying a word.
• Several other brothers wanted to accuse Angela, but they were stopped by Scarlet.
• Sitting by the hospital bed, holding Angela's hand, Scarlet smiled tenderly.
• "Angela, I know that you have suffered a lot since you were little because you were mistakenly taken away. After we brought you back, we have been trying to make it up for you and let you continue your studies. Now you are in university. Many girls your age don't even have the chance to go to middle school or high school. You should be grateful."
• Scarlet's eyes gradually turned red as she continued. "You shouldn't have harmed your sister like this. Reputation is more important than life for a girl. Although she was switched at birth, she was raised by us since she was young. I treat you all equally, so you shouldn't have any prejudice against her, okay?"
• It was grand, but looking at the hypocritical face in front of her and recalling what Scarlet said before she died, Angela felt a chill in her body and mind. It was colder than holding an ice block.
• The opportunity to study given by the Kins Family was indeed quite rare.
• But is it not to silence those gossipers and show off that every member of the Kins Family is a college graduate, right?
• Fanny lives in the princess room while Ilivein the storeroom. Ihaveleftovers for meals and only havehand-me-downs from Fanny.
• And they have the audacity to say that they treat both of usequally? Is this a joke?
• Moreover, Angela was injured like this, and they not only showed no concern but also came specifically to interrogate and blame her.
• Without understanding the situation, they only knew how to blindly blame her.
• Angela sneered and didn't want to say a word.
• Samuel, the fourth son in the family, couldn't bear it anymore and shouted at Angela, "Angela, you've gone too far! You've done such outrageous things to Fanny, and you still dare to say it's not your fault? It's fine if you usually cause trouble, but now you even curse her! You're evil!"
• Zacharias, the third one, also chimed in, "Angela, don't be ungrateful for the blessings you were born into. Everything you have now was given to you by the Kins Family. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want to drive Fanny to death before you're satisfied?"
• Joseph, the second, opened his lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. However, disappointment was clearly written on his face.
• Angela calmly withdrew her hand, and inclined her head to Fanny, who was hiding behind the crowd, "Fanny, tell me, what do you want to take from me this time?"
• Her gaze was so icy cold, as if she could see through the filth in people’s hearts. Fanny was startled; her sister, who was as foolish as a pig and only knew how to please the family, seemed different now, like a completely different person.
• Although she didn't know why, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, "Angela, I never wanted to compete with you for anything."
• Angela sneered, not believing her words at all.
• She didn't speak, knowing someone else would do it for her.
• Sure enough,George grunted,"Since that's the case, I need you to give Fanny the opportunity to deliver the Brundelian speech. You can take a break for now and apply next year."
• The reason Angela applied for this Brundelian speech competition was because of a boy named Christopher. He was her fiance,and she wanted to have more contact with him.
• Although she didn't particularly like her major, she had been studying very hard for Christopher, and everyone could see that.
• In the previous life, she was also forced to give this opportunity to Fanny, allowing Fanny and Christopher's relationship to progress rapidly, while she was soon dumped by Christopher. Later, the two of them even conspired to snatch away her shares, leaving her with nothing!
• But this time, would she let them have their way again?
