Chapter 9
“This is the antique phoenix coronet Bill gave
me.”
“This is the medical research patent book Yale

gave me.”
“This is the century – old ginseng Cody gave me.”
“This is the emerald pendant Seth
gave me.”
“This is the champion medal William gave me.”
“This is the gold trophy my other brother
gave me.”
I smiled and said, “With all these, is it enough?”
My brothers‘ faces all changed at once.

These were my most precious things, but now I just threw them on the
ground like they were nothing!
What did I mean by doing this?
How could I give these important gifts to someone else?
Seth was hot–tempered and got angry easily. He immediately shouted,
“Bella, we’re being nice to Sarah to help you atone for your sins! How can you

so ungrateful?”
My eyes turned cold, and my voice was icy. “What sins do I have?”

Seth was stunned by my question, and then he got furious. He raised his
hand and slapped me across the face.
I was already sick, feeling dizzy and light – headed. Seth was so angry that he
didn’t hold back. The slap sent me staggering backward until I hit the wall!

“Ouch!” I groaned in pain and gritted my teeth to endure it.
My brothers frowned. I was raised in a pampered way and used to be a bit of
a crybaby. Even a small scratch would make me complain about the pain and
want to go to the hospital. Many times the doctor would joke that I could have
waited a little longer and the wound would have healed on its own.
But this time, I didn’t make a sound.
My brothers felt a twinge of pity in their hearts.
Sarah saw the pity in their eyes and her expression softened a bit. She
quickly said, “Sis, are you okay? Don’t hold in the pain just because you’re angry.
Tell us where it hurts. And don’t be mad at Seth. What you did really hurt our
feelings. Just apologize to Seth. He was just impulsive, but he means well.”
Seth turned his head away, and the pity and regret in his eyes disappeared.

“She doesn’t understand our good intentions at all! She’s so heartless!”
Finally, I recovered. I suddenly raised my head, stared straight at Seth, and
then looked at each of my brothers.
“What sins do I have? You don’t even know how Frank died, yet you say I’m
guilty? That I owe Sarah? That I deserve to be trampled on by her? Do you think
this is funny?”
“You’re being unreasonable! What’s wrong with your thinking? You did
something wrong, and we just want you to apologize. Is that too much to ask?”
Seth said, rubbing his stinging hand and ignoring my swollen cheek.
Everyone’s attention was on me, but no one noticed that Sarah’s face turned
deathly pale.
What did I mean by that? Did I remember what happened back then?
But I was drugged and had lost my memory, right?
Only I noticed. I sneered and looked straight at Sarah.
“What if Frank’s death wasn’t an accident?”
“Ah!!” Sarah’s whole body tensed up.
She covered her
ears, curled
up,
and started screaming.

Oh no! She was doomed!
I did remember! I knew everything!
