Chapter 49: Sisters Quarrel
I couldn’t help but marvel at the advancements in surveillance equipment nowadays; it has improved significantly compared to the past. Not only does it boast high-resolution visuals, but the audio is also exceptionally clear. It’s like watching a drama.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Downstairs, Sherry, seeing both Robert and me upstairs, grabbed Alice and asked, “How did you find your way here? How did you know I was here?”
Alice, with an undisguised smile on her face, proudly replied, “It depends on whether I wanted to find you or not. With a little effort, I naturally found you! Sis, you’re really something, living in such a luxurious place? The food is excellent too! It seems like your host treats you well!”
In our absence, Alice appeared much more relaxed. She strolled around the living room with hands behind her back, looking around with envy and greed in her eyes.
“Sis, you’re really ruthless, living in such a nice place, and you haven’t leaked any information!” Alice criticized Sherry as she looked around, saying, “Mom always says you have a cold heart and don’t acknowledge family. It seems Mom understands you.”
“Stop talking nonsense. What do you mean by not acknowledging family? If I didn’t acknowledge you, would I still send you money every month? Don’t forget who supported your education,” Sherry retorted while playing with Charles.
“Forget it! Don’t think I’m grateful to you just because you gave me a few bucks. ” Alice, dissatisfied, rolled her eyes and then asked, “By the way, sis, you must be making a decent salary in their house, right?”
“That’s none of your business!” Sherry replied impatiently.
“You really are something. So selfish. Enjoying a luxurious life outside, not caring about the life and death of your own family!” Alice continued her blaming, with an innocent look. She ran to Sherry’s side, picked up a building block, and asked, “Come on, spill it. How much do they pay you over there?”
Sherry, angered and embarrassed, snapped, “Shut up! For these years do you lack food or clothing? If I were selfish, I wouldn’t give you a single penny. Speak up. What’s your real purpose for coming here today?”
Alice, with a pitiful expression, said, “Ally, I’m out of money. I’m about to graduate, and I need money….”
She spoke shamelessly, but it only darkened Sherry’s face. Alice innocently looked at Sherry and said, “See, if I didn’t come here to find you, could I stay in Newport so smoothly?”
“Alice, let me tell you. Since you’re here, behave yourself. This isn’t a place for you to mess around. I can stay here because of my hard work; don’t make it difficult for me. Otherwise, neither of us will have a good outcome. Don’t forget, I can make you roll back to those two old folks anytime.”
“Oh dear! Don’t say that. Even though Dad always calls you the wild seed, after all, you have the Flint surname. I am your sister, and it’s only natural for you to take care of me,” Alice really showed no appreciation on her face.
Then she scrutinized Sherry with a pretentious air and said, “I can see it; you’re indeed working hard… I’ll work hard too!”
“Alice…” Sherry was almost roaring with anger.
“Do you always like to get angry? That’s not good! It’s clear that the lady of this house is very cultured! I like it, she’s my idol!” Alice hinted, putting on a face of envy and jealousy. “Such a good life!”
“Still not sure whose wild seed you are? Don’t insinuate things about me! There’s not a good person in that family,” Sherry said harshly. “Good life? You better not envy it!”
Sherry’s words really hit the mark – better not envy it!
“Well, Well, I’ll accompany the young master to play. You quickly tidy up the room for me!” After saying this, she approached Sherry, adding, “Pick a better room, okay?”
“You, enough!” Sherry was almost half dead from this sister, standing up and walking away directly.
As I watched this unexpected drama of the sisters quarreling, I was stunned. I hadn’t expected the seemingly innocent and gentle girl to be so complex underneath.
Just then, the doorbell rang, and I saw Sherry, from the guest room downstairs, quickly walking to open the door.
This morning was really eventful; I was curious again about who had come.
