Angela stepped back, avoiding Fanny’s attempt to hold her hand, and glanced at the people at the back–all members of the Kinses.
That day, Fanny was donned in a camel–colored

Fanny donned a camel–colored coat that day, the latest winter collection from Kalista Kouture, with a limited edition priced at five figures. The perfume she wore was a fragrance that was constantly out of stock.
Also, she noticed the ruby brooch on Fanny’s dress, which Scarlet had cherished for many years. It was her favorite jewelry, matching her name, and had been in her collection for
many years.
Once, when she accidentally bumped into the brooch and caused it to fall to the ground, Scarlet became so enraged that she beat her up severely and even forbade her from eating. for a day.

Eventually, a maid took pity on her and secretly gave her some bread and in the evening. But the next morning, she suffered from a high fever until her homeroom teacher called to say she had skipped class and missed the whole morning.
Livid, Scarlet stormed into her room. Seeing that she was still lying in bed, the mother hit. the roof, believing her daughter was being lazy and didn’t want to go to class. At that, she yanked off the blanket, threw it on the floor, stomped on it with her heeled boots, and even cursed uglily.
It wasn’t until Scarlet dragged Angela out of bed that she ultimately realized her daughter’s temperature was abnormal, with a burning forehead. Finally, she phoned the doctor for a home visit.
Since that experience, her stomach became feeble. Even when her favorite foods were in front of her and overeat just a little, she would feel nauseous.
Seeing the ruby brooch now brought back memories like a fast–paced movie reel in Angela’s mind.
How ironic it was that the very ruby brooch that had caused her to receive severe punishment just from accidentally bumping into it was now given to Fanny by Scarlet as her birthday gift.
In just a moment of absentmindedness, Angela’s countenance returned to being icy, and she sneered, “Do I not have a birthday of my own? Why should I celebrate yours? Do you have a

screw loose but can’t afford a mechanic? Also, don’t touch me. Your perfume reeks. You better stand back before I puke all over you and ruin your new Kalis
I swear, some jack*ss must’ve cursed me, or how can I run into these idiots at every turn?!
Fanny’s gaze dimmed, and she glanced helplessly behind her before shifting back with a bitten lip, apologizing, “I’m sorry, Angela. I don’t mean it like that… I’m just happy to see you. We share the same birthday, so I naturally remember yours. Look, we even got you gifts.”
“Why are you apologizing?” Samuel, made infuriated by Fanny’s apology, went up and pulled her to his side. “Did we not want to celebrate her birthday? She was the one insisting on severing family ties! Are we supposed to beg on our knees for her to come?”
Angela, however, smirked. “Of course, you should apologize. After all, without my withdrawal, do you think you can be engaged to Christopher and be the only young lady of the Kins Family? Everything you have now is, by right, mine. You are at fault, and I never said you’re innocent.”
After all, the agreed–upon bride in Kevin and her grandfather’s marriage pact was her, who was still in her mother’s belly at the time.
Fanny’s expression froze for a moment, and at the same time, her whole body trembled violently.
Noticing Fanny’s body stiffening, Christopher pulled her into his arms. “Watch your mouth, Angela Kins!”
Angela slowly shifted her gaze to Christopher’s face, her cold eyes staring at him for at moment. “And you believe you’re some saint, hmm?”
Christopher immediately frowned, powerless against Angela’s aggressiveness.
Where Angela had slapped him earlier was still throbbing with pain.
And while Angela turned to walk away impassively, George was beside himself with rage. thinking Angela was an uncultured swine who would shamelessly insult her sister and brother–in–law publicly.
As his gaze darted around, he noticed the gift box in Zacharias‘ hand. Without hesitation, he grabbed it and hurled it toward Angela’s back.
Suddenly, a black figure flashed out of nowhere and stood in front of Angela, intercepting the gift box with arms as strong as iron.
“Be careful!”

Sensing the commotion, Angela turned around and saw Oliver standing firmly behind her, gripping the now–deformed gift box.
Oliver was one of the two stationed outside her ward 24/7 back then, the other being Axel, who was off doing something else.
Oliver turned sideways, watching everyone warily, ready to act. His eagle–like eyes swept warningly over everyone, making it clear that if anyone dared to make another move, he wouldn’t hesitate to use force.
Angela stood still, her dark eyes fixed on the enraged George. “Do you think I would let you hit me again?”
George’s eyes flickered, but he remained silent, his countenance grim.
The next moment, Angela took the deformed gift box from Oliver’s hand and smashed it to the ground. With a loud snap, the lid opened, and the gift fell out.
It was a snowdrop crystal necklace, just like the one Fanny had around her neck. The snowdrop was delicately carved, like a flower blossoming proudly in the ice and snow. It was very beautiful and delicate. But now, the necklace, which had fallen out, had its pendant shattered, scattered all over the floor.
Fanny covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide with astonishment. “Angela, Zacharias got it, especially for you as a birthday gift!”
Zacharias‘ pale lips trembled, staring blankly at the necklace on the ground.
Scarlet, feeling heartbroken that her son’s heartfelt gesture had been ruined, angrily scolded, “Angela, what did Zacharias do to deserve this from you? You’re so heartless to treat his sincerity like this!”
Finding her accusation ridiculous, Angela tilted her slender neck slightly and sneered, My gifts are always the same as Fanny’s and even occasionally forgotten. Especially, my foot! When can you stop lying to yourselves? Sincere? Don’t make me puke.”
Then, she turned to Zacharias and monotoned, “Zacharias, I hate snowdrops the most, don’t you know that? I’m allergic to it, and it nearly killed me when I was three.”
With that, she stepped over the shattered necklace with her heels, walking away gracefully.
As Zacharias slowly came to his senses, he looked at his mother’s frustrated expression and pressed his lips tightly together.

He remembered that Fanny liked snowdrops and said she liked what it symbolized. Thinking it was a good symbolism, he bought a pair as birthday gifts so the sisters could wear matching ones and avoid bias.
He had no idea Angela was allergic to snowdrops and had almost lost her life because of them.
It finally dawned on Zacharias that what he got was Fanny’s favorite while never considering for a second if Angela would like it. This guilt made Zacharias rub his temples irritably.
“Are you feeling unwell? Should I call a doctor?” Scarlet asked anxiously.
Meeting Scarlet’s worried expression, Zacharias asked, “Mom, didn’t you know that Angela is allergic to snowdrops?”
