She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 319: I'm His Sister Sean was actually quite afraid of his sister. If his early romance was discovered by their mother, his allowance might be cut in half. He turned to look at the innocent girl standing behind him, his eyes filled with conflict and hesitation.

However, Mikaela was not like the other proud and haughty heiresses. Her purity, aloofness, hidden kindness, and occasional tenderness attracted Sean. Moreover, he had carefully prepared tonight's candlelit dinner, booked the seat at great expense, and had a condom ready in his pocket... all for furthering his relationship with Mikaela.

With his hand hidden in his suit pocket, he clenched the small square package tightly and then slowly released it.

Seeing him remain silent, Nora knew she was right. Sean was a bit rebellious, but he still cared about his family's opinions. Plus, he was accustomed to a life of abundance and luxury. If he were asked to live a life of hardship, he would be the first one to complain about it.

They had been together for two years, and he couldn't even say a word in his defense. Mikaela felt a deep sense of disappointment.

Just then, a more embarrassing and infuriating incident occurred. A small square package slipped from Sean's pocket as he reached out to grab Mikaela. The deep blue package stood out against the golden floor. It had a circular shape. Nora only glanced at it briefly before Sean nervously picked it up.

Even though Nora couldn't see what was written on the package, she knew that it was a condom. Her face turned bright red, and she couldn't believe her younger brother, whom she still considered "young," had grown to such an extent.

Eighteen years old... a tof curiosity about the world.

Next, she thought that the girl in front of her had seduced Sean, and her eyes filled with scorn.

"My brother thought you were a nice, pure and aloof girl, but it turns out you're just a prostitute who opens her legs to make money! How does it feel to sleep with Sean? Sean is much more generous than your sugar daddy outside, isn't he? Who do you think you are? Are you worth one hundred and twenty thousand?" Nora's words were vulgar and direct, completely unlike what one would expect from a refined lady. Her voice was also quite loud, drawing the attention of other diners in the restaurant.

Men gazed at Mikaela and Nora with suggestive, lustful eyes, seemingly comparing their body shapes. In the end, they concluded that the girl with long straight hair had the better figure.

Mikaela cfrom a poor family, but she carried herself with the demeanor of an heiress. She had maintained her "aloof and proud" attitude for so many years, and she couldn't tolerate Nora's vulgar insults. In tears, she looked at Sean, her voice cold as she declared, “We're breaking up!" After unilaterally announcing the breakup, Mikaela picked up her handbag from the chair and hurriedly left. "Mikaela! Please listen to my explanation." Sean, desperate to chase after her, was suddenly stopped by someone grabbing his sleeve.

He anxiously turned to look at his sister, Nora, who was staring at him with a cold, detached expression. "Don't go, Sean. Didn't you hear her say that she's broken up with you?" "Even if we're breaking up, I should at least be the one to take her home. She lives in the outskirts, and from here, it's at least a forty-minute drive. It's late, and she's a young girl. I can't let her go alone." "Late?" Nora chuckled lightly, her eyes flicking to the wall clock. It was not even 10 o'clock.

How could this be considered late? In the end, she couldn't stop Sean. He was deeply in love for the first time, and he didn't want to end it so ingloriously.

After shaking off Nora's grip, he ran after Mikaela.

Nora was left alone standing at the table, staring at the burning candle in bewilderment. The candle's dim yellow light cast a glaring reflection on the metal cutlery, which was uncomfortable for her. She shifted her gaze to the red box on the table.

Nora couldn't help but admire Sean's thoughtfulness. He must have researched it online before choosing this particular pendant.

But this gift cost the Lawrence family's money. Why should an outsider receive such a nice gift? Nora thought about her little brother and the many years they had spent together as siblings. Why hadn't he ever given her a decent gift for her birthday? She picked up the necklace and tucked it into her handbag. About to leave, she noticed the untouched glass of red wine on the table. The restaurant owner, accompanied by two female servers, was getting ready to clear the unfinished food and plates.

The owner picked up the wine and expressed his regret, saying, "It's a shabout this Bordeaux wine; the price alone is 12, 800. It's such a waste that it hasn't even been sipped." Hearing this, one of the servers asked, "Can't we recork it and sell it again?" The owner shook his head and said, "It's not possible. This bottle of wine has already been aerated, and recorking it won't restore the original flavor."

12, 800? Nora inhaled sharply. Since Sean had ordered it, that meant it had already been paid for. As Sean's sister, she naturally had the right to take this bottle of wine. "Put it down!" The woman suddenly commanded with cold lips. The three of them turned their gazes to her, all looking puzzled.

She extended her slender, fair hand and took the wine from the owner, saying softly, "I'm customer the Sister of the customer from earlier. Since he's already paid for this wine, it belongs to me."

The owner was momentarily stunned, but there was a glimmer of understanding in his eyes through the lenses. He nodded and said, "You're absolutely right, young lady." Nora continued, "So, please finda wine glass." She intended to have a taste of this wine that cost over 12, 800. She wanted to know what set it apart from other red wines.
