Chapter 15
“Dora!” Antony pulled Dora up, feeling so distressed. “How many times have I told you not to say that?
In my mind, you are my sister.”
The onlookers all felt that the relationship between the Evans’ siblings was really good. On the
contrary, Crystal, who came from the countryside, was really redundant.
Freda was quite satisfied with the current situation.
The Evans family didn’t care about the girl’s life. In the future, Crystal staying with the Whites would be
like the easy meat on the chopping board waiting to get slaughtered.
“Alright, alright…” Freda came out to act as a good elder again. “Since the person in charge of
watching the deceased’ soul is here, let’s get ready for the wake.”
Those who were watching the show scattered, but they were still discussing.
Crystal knelt on the futon, as silent as the bell in the temple. She seemed able to isolate the sarcastic

Antony looked at the girl’s back. What was she doing? Why did she have to pretend that everyone was
bullying her?
“Antony, brother?”
“Ah, yeah?” Antony came back to his senses.
“I’m thinking that when Master White’s funeral is over, let’s take Crystal home to live with us for a
while.” Dora said softly, “I don’t think she’s happy living with the White family. It may be better to bring
her home.”
“Look at her. Are you still afraid that the White family will bully her?” Seeing that Dora was so
considerate, the pity Antony had for Crystal disappeared. “The White family is a wealthy family with
more than a dozen helps serving them. What’s there to be unhappy about? Will she be happy when
she returns to that damn place in Sunshine Village, you think?”
Dora still wanted to say something, but her brother rejected it. “Alright, don’t worry about her. Let’s go
rest in the guest room first. Don’t make yourself tired.”
As Antony had said so, she had no choice but to give up.
During the wake, more people came to pay tribute to the dead. Every time, they shot Crystal a
sarcastic, contempt look. Some even said harsh words to her. Anyway, to them, she was an orphan.
and now a widow. They didn’t need to be polite to her.
At this time, a girl, who was about the same age as her, came over. She looked at Crystal with
contempt and began to ridicule her. “I’m not here to attend the wake. I’m here to see you. They said
that you’re too vulgar. Now it seems right! No wonder the Evans family doesn’t like you. You deserve
it!”
Crystal was perplexed. Who was this girl?!
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Lorna Carter, and I’m Dora’s best friend. I come here today to
warn you that you shouldn’t dream about things that don’t belong to you. You want to take things from
Dora? Let’s see if you have the ability!”

her back to City W to be the scapegoat. Otherwise, the one kneeling here now would be Dora. Lorna
deliberately drew closer and spoke in a harsh tone. “Crystal, listen carefully. Don’t think that you can do
whatever you want just because you’re the Evans family’s biological daughter. You’re just a stinky
mouse from the countryside. The Evans family is a noble family in City W. You think they will like you?
Only Dora is a perfect child in her parents’ eyes.”
Crystal looked at her. “Miss Carter, haven’t you figured out the situation?”
“What do you mean?”
Crystal said, “I mean, if it weren’t for me, your best friend would have been a widow for the rest of her
life.
“Also, I don’t care what the Evans family thinks. After all, we are related by blood. Why do you care
about us so much? Rich ladies like you all like to put their noses in other people’s business?”
