Chapter 50 A Revelation Finished Joshua turned around and glanced at her , suddenly breaking into a smile . Let me tell you something . Ive been an orphan my whole life . Im not afraid of walking barefoot , and Im not scared of the consequences ! If you guys plan on bullying me , Im not afraid of bloodshed . Listen carefully , and remember this well 1 am an orphan ! My family is gone , all of them dead and gone . They died eighteen years ago , completely wiped out ! Shirleys body trembled violently , her eyes widening in shock . Dont come disturbing me again ! The more you come , the worse your retribution will be . You cant escape the cycle ! Joshua said coldly before turning away and walking off . Wendys face was drained of color . She stood in place , shocked by his outburst , as she trembled uncontrollably . Likewise , Shirleys expression shifted dramatically . Joshua quickly entered the school , leaving them outside . Both of them felt a sudden chill fill their hearts . They werent sure how they ended up back in the car . Both sisters fell into a deep silence , the air around them feeling deathly cold . Neither had expected Joshua to speak to them this way so bitter , so extreme , filled with hatred . Where was the obedient , meek younger brother of the Frasers ? They both remembered the old days when Joshua was still with them , always smiling , always trying to please his family members . Even when their mother scolded him , Joshua would smile and assure them that he was fine . They remembered the family trip from last year when , due to Maddys actions , Joshuas phone had been hidden , preventing him from contacting anyone . They had agreed to meet at the tourist spots entrance , but when Frankie suddenly fell ill , the family rushed to the hospital with him , leaving Joshua behind . None of them waited for him . At that time , Joshua had walked alone for more than six miles , determined to return home . After he was sent back by the police , Joshua was still able to smile and reassure everyone that he was fine- that he had just gotten lost and made them worry . He even apologized for causing trouble . Back then , his sisters had laughed at him . Now , however , he was almost cursing them out in anger . What kind of desperation must he have been in to say that his entire family was dead ? Wendy couldnt bring herself to imagine it . Wendy , Joshua seems so … Shirleys voice faltered , her expression one of difficulty . He seems so unfamiliar . 1/3 3:21 am Chapter 50 A Revelation Finished Wendy sniffled and shook her head . Do you want to go back on your own , or should I give you a ride ? Arent we going in to look for him ? Shirley asked in surprise . After all this , whats the point ? Wendys tone grew sharp , and she sounded impatient . I still have things to do , so Ill drop you off at home and head to the company . Shirley fell silent . Wendy , too , was lost in thought . Look at the records , alright ? No matter what , you should go through them . With that , she started the car , driving Shirley home before heading off to her own company . As for the records , Wendy hadnt finished reading all of them either . The further she got , the more horrifying Joshuas words seemed to become . She had been too afraid to continue reading , but she hoped Shirley would . She needed to see it for herself . Shirley stood at the entrance of the Frasers villa as she watched Wendy leave , a surge of panic rising in her chest . She had an inkling of what her eldest sister had been referring to , but she just couldnt accept the truth for now . Meanwhile , Joshuas words shocked her to the core . He had almost cursed them all to death ! This wasnt the bond of siblings ; it felt more like enmity . Well , Joshua had clearly seen them as enemies . Shirley returned home . The house was empty . Her parents were out , and her third sister , Maddy , wasnt home either she was an actress and singer , with her own packed schedule . Shirley got into bed but turned and tossed around . She couldnt stand the restlessness in her heart , so she pulled out her phone and opened the message Wendy had sent her . There was quite a bit of content inside , all organized by Wendy , who had sent her a copy . The day before , Shirley had taken a glance and then quickly put it aside she couldnt bring herself to continue reading . But now , there was no turning back ; she had to read it thoroughly . Maybe , just maybe , they really were cold blooded . Or maybe , they simply couldnt accept such a brother . Here is Shirley , whos a university music lecturer ! She even has a music album . Tom , Im sending it to you -take a listen . These songs were written by her , and one of them is a song she dedicated to our family … 2/3 3:21 am Chapter 50 A Revelation 9 Finished only harbor , full of warmth and tenderness , how the world was vast , but home was small , and love was the one thing that could always be relied upon … 98 3/3
