Chapter 401


    Leta looked right into Ethan’s eyes. “Yes, I had enough of that kind of life, so I ran away. I wanted to


    see the outside world, but


    I was too naive. I thought that everyone was kind except for Mom ….”


    She stopped her story right there.


    He asked, “Even if Mom hurt you, why did you bear grudges against Liv? Why did you do that to her?”


    Her eyes turned cold at the mention of that name. “Liv, Liv.”


    Emotions were storming in her as she grabbed him by the cor. “Do you think that I’ve never tried to


    seek help from you? But did you care about me at that time? All you cared about was her!


    “I saw you smiling at her and doting on her just like how you did to me in the past. She smiled so


    sweetly…”


    The tears Leia tried to fight back finally trickled down her cheeks.


    She screamed, “Do you know what kind of life I’ve been through? Do you know what I went through


    just to see you again?”


    Her tears fell onto the back of his hand, and they were warm.


    “When I escaped from darkness, I fought for my life because I wanted to see you. But you loved Olivia


    so much. I’m your younger sister. I should be the only one receiving your love!”


    Obsession tinged her eyes. Ethan was all too familiar with that.


    That was the glint he saw in his suicidal mother’s eyes whenever she suffered a rpse.


    Mental illness sometimes ran in the family. Considering that Leia had been living under the shadow of


    the trauma cast by their mother, it was possible that Leia was inclined toward the same symptoms.


    “Leia, you’re my sister and my family. Liv is my wife, as well as your sister-inw. She’s your family too.


    You should love her instead of resent her.”


    “Love? Why should I love a stranger that has nothing to do with me? We don’t share the same blood.


    What right does she have to smile so sweetly next to you?” Leia balled her fists. The glint in her eyes


    was turning colder.


    “Not only will I not love her, but I’ll resent her to the bones. I was once a socialite like her too. I want her


    to know what it feels like to be in agony. Watching her slowly lose your love and fall into hell, I’ve never


    felt this happy.”


    “Are you crazy? Did she do anything wrong?”


    “She didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just that she received your love. You’re my brother. How could you


    love someone else?” Leia couldn’t seem to fathom his logic.


    She continued, “I know you resent me as much as you love her. But I don’t care about it anymore, I’d


    rather die than live this kind of life. Just kill me if you want to take revenge for her.”


    Ethan’s fingers were trembling. How could he kill her with his bare hands?

    He grasped her wrist tighter. Words escaped through his gritted teeth. “How can I possibly kill my own


    younger sister?”


    She smiled. “I expected that you couldn’t bring yourself to do so. But Ethan, I’ll always stand in


    between you and her once she finds out the truth. She won’t be able to get over this.”


    “You saw thising!”


    “Yup. I know that you can’t kill me. There’s no such thing as a happy ending in this world.”


    Ethan was so furious, thinking, “How could I have such a sister!”


    He raised his hand, and Leia reached out her hand to block it in reflex.


    The moment she raised her hand, her sleeve drooped to reveal the centipede-like scar on her arm.
