Chapter 3 Author: Skytree "You're not joking, Jasmine? Including the stock that's already gone public?" asked Emma again in disbelief. I could not understand it. Emma always had her eyes on everything I owned. Whenever I refused to give her something, she would call me selfish, accuse me of bullying her, saying I was not acting like a proper sister. I was finally handing everything over to her without resistance, and they still did not believe? "Jasmine, you've finally grown up. You finally understand how to be a good sister!" Dad was the first to react, praising me. "You two sisters being united and treating each other selflessly, that's all we ever wanted. Now we can finally enjoy our retirement in peace." That was laughable. Emma went through all that scheming to take everything from me. Was it really just to lighten my burden and let me enjoy life? She deceived everyone with her pitiful act and fake kindness. Suddenly, a sharp tightness gripped my chest, and I coughed twice. A metallic taste filled my mouth. "You're coughing up blood?! Is your throat inflamed?" Mom noticed the blood on my handkerchief and came over to pat my back. I wiped the corner of my mouth and asked softly, "Mom, Dad… if I die, would you feel sad?" The room went quiet. "Who talks like that? Just when you started behaving, you're back to talking nonsense?" Mom gave me a small slap. "You look so healthy. It's probably just a sore throat. Take some anti-inflammatory meds, don't be so dramatic," added Dad impatiently.
