“Who are you to speak? You little liar! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll beat you to death!” As soon as Ruth heard what I said, she flew into a rage and glared at me viciously, Even Frank’s expression changed. Fabian couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened
anymore.
However, I remained calm. I looked at my mother and took out my phone, saying, “It’s an attempted rape. Fabian is already over sixteen years old. Even though he’s a minor, he still has to bear corresponding criminal liabilities. Even if we’re willing to settle this matter, there will still be a criminal record for him. Reporting it to the police is the best way to solve this problem…”
In that way, Fabian would have a stigma for the rest of his life and wouldn’t dare to act recklessly again.
I had already made up my mind to make this scumbag pay the price.
But just as I was about to call the police, my sister suddenly rushed over and snatched my phone away.
“We can’t call the police! If we do that, my reputation will be ruined. How can I be…?”
I didn’t hear the last word, but I could already guess it.
It was “famous“.
I stared at my sister’s bloodshot eyes, which stared back at me as if I were the enemy who had destroyed her path to stardom, and I was at a loss for words for a moment.
I had to respect her choice as I did in my previous life.
My mother was hesitant for a moment. After thinking for a while, she suddenly walked up to Frank, grabbed his collar, and threatened, “You must make it up to us!”
“Naomi, let’s calm down and talk this out. Don’t be mad…”
I looked at Frank’s hypocritical face and knew very well that this man was a complete villain. He relied on Ruth to take the lead while he stayed in the background.
Afterward, he would come out to smooth things over.
Just like now, his eyes rolled as he removed my mother’s hand and smiled, proposing, “I understand that young people can’t help having feelings for each other. How about this? We will take responsibility. Why don’t we let them be a couple?”
“Are you nuts? Fabian is Sukey’s cousin!”
My mother was so angry that she slapped Frank and cursed, “Thank god nothing really happened this time… Frank Quint, don’t you think that is disgusting?”
Of course, it was disgusting.
My stomach churned as well when I heard it. But looking at Frank’s hypocritical face, I knew exactly what they were up to.
My sister was a charming young lady. The law wouldn’t allow her and Fabian to get mar D
even if they were together.
As long as Fabian didn’t go out of the line, he could toy with my sister openly for a few years. When he got tired of her he could get rid of her at any time. They know that we wouldn’t daro to

As long as Fabian didn’t go out of the line, he could toy with my sister openly for a few years. When he got tired of her, he could get rid of her at any time. They knew that we wouldn’t dare to tell others about such a thing…
So, I felt even more disgusted and indignant.
“We won’t even accept her even if you’re willing to give her to us! Fabian can have any girl he wants. Why would he want your daughter?”
Ruth was being difficult. Perhaps my mention of calling the police earlier made her a bit uneasy. She put her hands on her hips, sized up my sister, and pursed her lips, saying, “But since things have come to this, we have no other choice but to go along with what my husband said.” “All right, it’s been a long night. Naomi, why don’t you take Chelsea home first? I promise we’ll treat Sukey like our own daughter. If Fabian dares to bully her again, I’ll break his legs!”
Frank also nodded and bowed as he made the promise.
“Naomi, you’ve been having a tough time in the Linkletter family. You can’t really take Sukey back, can you?”
I was amused by his act.
Frank and Ruth were clearly treating us like fools.
But my mother wasn’t stupid. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears as she watched the two of them playing off each other.
She looked at my sister and then slapped Frank again.
“I won’t leave Sukey here so you can continue to abuse her!”
I stood by and listened.
I thought I wouldn’t care, but my heart still felt as if it had been pricked by a needle, aching… It turned out that my mother actually cared about her children.

However, when I was left with Frank and his family in my previous life, why didn’t my mother come and support me unwaveringly…
