Chapter 128
“What does that even mean?” Sharon stared seriously at her brothers. “Are you telling me the reason I was sent away back then… was because I was some kind of freak?”
“No, of course not.” Richard jumped in quickly, flustered and unsure how to explain. “Wallace, you tell her.” He was worried he’d mess it up.
Wallace said, “Come on now, Shari. How much truth do she can.

A third chimed in, “After you were born, both Mom and Dad adored you.”
Sharon looked straight at them, asking, “Really?”
“Of course, it’s true, you silly girl.” Marvin stepped forward and gave her shoulder a pat. “That old hag has always been good at twisting people’s minds. Nothing she says is worth believing. So, don’t let her get to you.”
He added, “Besides, you’re the only girl in the family. You were our little princess from the start. We were all so excited to meet you. So, don’t believe a word she said.”

Malcolm hesitated. “Uh… well, she’s the Vance family matriarch. Whatever you decide to do is your family’s business. It’s not really my place to get involved.”

Marvin let out a sneer. “I’ve got just the place to put this old bat. Trust me, she’ll fit right in.”
The eight Vance brothers‘ eyes went cold as they all remembered that place.
There was a time when all eight brothers had been kicked out and forced to live there too. Back then, they swore they’d get their rever one day.
Never in a million years did they expect Sharon to be the one who’d finally make their dream come true.
At that moment, they all couldn’t help but feel that little sisters truly were the most lovable and delightful beings on earth.
Once the unconscious Roxanne was taken away by the servants, Malcolm said with a rare note of seriousness, “Until you’ve fully secured your footing, don’t go too far.
“Don’t take anyone’s life, at least not yet. Otherwise, people will twist the story and use it against you. And gossip spreads faster than any truth,”

Sharon gave a firm nod. “She’ll live, trust me.” She mused, ‘Sometimes, death is mercy. It’s living that’s the real punishment:
Malcolm’s expression grew more solemn as he said, “Alright, let’s get down to business. Being the head of the Vance family isn’t as easy as it sounds.
