“I’ve compromised and allowed you to have whatever you want for long enough. From now onward, I’m
not giving in to you any longer. What’s yours is yours and what’s mine is mine. Don’t even think about
touching anything of mine, let alone taking it away from me.” Queenie stared at Bonnie with a pair of
steely eyes.
Bonnie bit her lip and sneered. “Isn’t it just a few pairs of lousy earrings? What makes you think I want
them anyway?” She stormed up the stairs.
Queenie followed her to the third floor and heard Bonnie flinging the door open before heading to her
jewelry case. She took out four pairs of earrings and threw them onto the couch. “Here! You can have
them back.”
Furious, Queenie held her hand out.. “Pick them up and hand them to me.”
Bonnie froze for a second before: snorting. “As if I’d do that. The earrings are right there. You can take

Queenie’s eyes flashed coldly. “Since you keep saying that I’m your older sister, I shall do my job as
your older sister and teach you some manners. From now on, this house isn’t the place where you can
play your silly mind games and act like a spoiled princess.”
However, Bonnie seemed insistent on going against Queenie. “You? Teach me manners? What a joke.
What makes you think you-”
Queenie grabbed Bonnie by the wrist and shoved her to the ground. As someone who took Taekwondo
lessons before, it was easy enough for her to pin Bonnie to the floor by resting her knee against
Bonnie’s neck. She pressed Bonnie’s arms. against the floor and warned icily. “Bonnie Silverstein, you
better not mess with me, or else, I don’t mind running you out of the house and forcing you to go back
to your adoptive parents’ house.”
“Why, you…. Queenie Silverstein, I’m telling Mom and Dad about this! I’m going to tell them that you
don’t want me around and that you hate me because I came back!” Bonnie shrieked in pain as she
tried to push Queenie off.
However, Queenie didn’t budge as she held Bonnie down with her knee still. “If you want others to like
you and don’t want others to hate you, then you should first learn how to behave like a decent human
being!”
The force that Queenie exerted nearly choked Bonnie. Her face and neck turned red as she screamed,
“I can’t breathe! Let go of me!”
Just then, Courtney came upstairs to bring the girls some fruits, and she jumped in fright when she saw
the two of them fighting.
“You shouldn’t be doing this, Miss Queenie!” Courtney exclaimed anxiously. “Stay out of this, Mrs.
Lowman. Some people deserve to be taught a lesson,” Queenie said to Courtney.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCourtney hurried back downstairs. Meanwhile, Bonnie was in so much agony that her face had gone
pale. “I’m going to die, Queenie.”
Queenie let go at last, and Bonnie gasped for air as the flames of resentment in her eyes burned
brighter. ‘Queenie, I’ll remember this. From now on, only one of us will get to stay in this house. Just
wait and see. Let’s see who’ll be the first to leave this family.”
In all honesty, Queenie was mourning the fact that she was hearing this from Bonnie. She longed to
have a loving relationship with her sister and she didn’t want a sister who went against her at every
turn. How she wished that the family could just live in harmony.
However, everything that Bonnie had done so far made Queenie too furious. All Bonnie did was either
complain about her to their parents or slander her and pretend to be pitiful to gain their sympathy.
Bonnie used every means possible to torment Queenie. That night, Bonnie cried her eyes dry and
complained to Brandon and Maggie about how Queenie bullied her in the afternoon.
