After going back to her room , Wendy paused to gather her thoughts before reaching for the phone and preparing to switch it on . However , her hand abruptly stopped . She hesitated , unsure if she wanted to open it . She was afraid of what she might discover . This phone should have a ton of records on it if her gut felt right . After a brief moment of silence , Wendy wiped away her tears , took a deep breath , and finally turned on the phone to check its contents . Numerous pictures were there , most of her with her parents , the Fraser Residence , and fancy cars . In addition , there were some family portraits and pictures of the family company . It appeared that Maddy had taken the phone and hadn’t even opened it . Everything remained untouched . Wendy scrolled through the gallery and eventually opened the Snapchat messages . She decided to import all the records onto her laptop and start reading them from the beginning . As the eldest sister , she felt a sense of responsibility . She wanted to understand Joshua as much as possible, to know everything about him , and to learn why he was so determined to leave the Frasers . Only after reading through these records could she fully comprehend what Joshua had experienced over the past four years . The phone held a lot of information , including photos , documents , study materials , and a lot of chat logs . As a well – educated person , Wendy knew that reading someone else’s private messages was highly inappropr But in this situation , she didn’t care anymore . She just wanted to understand . She quickly flipped through a few pages of data without finding anything useful . But then , she saw something that made her body tremble . “ Tom , this is my eldest sister , Wendy . Isn’t she beautiful ? ” It was accompanied by a photo of her at the company . That photo had been displayed on the award wall in the family living room alongside pictures of Shirley , Maddy , and the others . But Joshua had taken a separate picture of Wendy and sent it to his friends . Wendy continued reading . ‘ I heard my eldest sister graduated from Northbright University , then studied abroad for a year at Bayside Institute of Technology . Do you know that university ? I heard that this university is very famous . My eldest sister is a top student from both institutions . 7:17 pm . ‘ She’s knowledgeable , refined , and incredibly accomplished . I only just found out about this . I asked Mrs. Locker , and she told me everything . Locker is our housekeeper . She said my eldest sister has always been excellent , scoring high in all her exams . She’s one of the smartest people . ‘ Look at this award . It was won by my eldest sister when she was in high school . She was first in literature and second in science . Wendy held her breath as she checked the timestamp . She realized this message was sent four years ago , when Joshua had just joined the Frasers and didn’t know much about them . It was probably the first time he’d learned about her achievements . ‘ And Mrs. Locker also told me my eldest sister ranked in the top 100 on the SATs and scored the highest in math . ‘ Gwen , did you know that ? This is my eldest sister ! She’s now managing the family business as the company’s CEO . Look at this photo . My eldest sister shook hands with Mr. And this one is of her receiving the Outstanding Young Entrepreneur Award . Locker said there are countless people trying to court my eldest sister . The line of suitors stretches from Eastview all the way to Westview . All these awards were won by my eldest sister while she was in school . ‘ Haha . Tom , Gwen , look at how many there are . She has won exemplary student awards , first place in math and geography , and recognition as one of the exemplary youths of our city . According to Mrs. Locker , my oldest sister has been gifted and intelligent since childhood . ‘ Gwen , I’ve never met anyone as amazing as my eldest sister . If I were one – tenth , no , one percent as amazing as my eldest sister , that would be great !’ “ Sob .” At this point , Wendy clamped her hand over her mouth , trying not to cry out loud . Tears uncontrollably filled her eyes , blurring her vision . This … How could this be ? This can’t be true . Joshua had never said any of this to her or even asked her about these things either . 7:17 pm 44 . Promise to Punish My Ridiculous Family
