I used all my strength to slap Dennis , and his head snapped to the side as a clear handprint bloomed across his cheek . He was completely stunned , and so was everyone else in the room . He held his face , staring at me in disbelief . The fury in his eyes soon turned to humiliation . " You ... you hit me ?! " " I hit you to wake you up . " My voice was as cold as ice . I looked around at everyone gathered in the living room , then turned my gaze back to Dennis's face . " You all think he's the one in charge here . That he's the so - called scion of the White family , right ? " No one dared to make a sound . I let out a short chuckle , but my smile was humorless . " Dennis , is that what you've always thought , too ? Do you really believe you are born to have everything ? This manor , the luxury car outside , shares in the company , and that credit card with no limit that I gave you ? " He didn't answer , but the stubborn look in his eyes was all the proof I needed to see . " Have you ever wondered why ... " I continued . " Why , even though our father favored you , did he still leave 90 % of the company shares to me ? Why did I , as your sister , have to play the caretaker and clean up every mess for you ? Paving every road you walk and indulging your every whim without limits ? " He looked genuinely thrown off by my questions . Maybe these thoughts had crossed his mind before , but he had always just taken everything for granted , never thinking any deeper . I watched the confusion and humiliation on his face and finally decided it was time to reveal the cruel truth I had protected for over a decade . " Because you're not even a White . You're just a mistake my father made years ago . Your mother was a woman whose name doesn't even deserve to be recorded in the White family's history . You , Dennis , are an illegitimate child . " My words were quiet , but the impact in the silent living room was quite real . Every trace of expression froze on Dennis's face . He stared at me as though he couldn't believe what he was hearing , eyes wide , mouth half open , and completely stunned . " You ... what did you say ? " " I said , " I repeated word by word , " you're an illegitimate child . " " When Dad brought you home , you were only three . Grandpa was so furious that he almost had a heart attack . He wanted to throw you and your mother out on the street . And it was me . " I pointed to myself . 1/2 म Choctor d +25 Bonus " I was the one who knelt in front of Grandpa and begged him to let you stay . I told him a child is innocent . I promised I would look after you , raise you , and never let you disgrace the White family name . To let you live openly as a member of the White family and to keep you from being labeled an illegitimate child from day one , I begged Dad and Grandpa to keep your true background a secret from everyone . " I treated you like my real brother . I gave you the best of everything , tried to make up for the mother's love you never got , and spoiled you in every way possible . I thought that if I poured enough love and comfort into you , you would grow up to be a kind , responsible , and dependable man . " Looking at his face that was now twisted by shock and fear , I let out a bitter laugh . " Turns out I was wrong . I was so , so wrong . I didn't raise a brother . I raised an ungrateful wretch . " Dennis stumbled back a couple of steps , bumping into the coffee table with a heavy thud . He kept shaking his head , mumbling , " No ... That's impossible ... You're lying ... You're making this up ! " " If you think I'm lying , go home and ask Dad . " I looked at him with cold indifference , determined to break his last illusion . " Though I doubt he has time for you right now . " I Support
