Annie could never have imagined that Chester would use Macy to threaten her.
At first Macy didn't know what was going on and wondered why Chester's people appeared in front of her.
She should have been happy that Alina was seriously ill, but she couldn't be happy at all.
At that moment, she knew almost as well what Annie was trying to achieve with this.
But she ignored Chester's impact.
"Who can blackmail Chester for something he doesn't want to do?" She had the audacity to think that she could use this matter to threaten Chester to marry her.
Not to mention the fact that there are still people in the world who can be matched with Alina, just the fact that she blackmailed Chester, when it was over, Chester would not spare her.
"I don't care, I don't care." Annie was in an emotional turmoil, thinking that Chester had gone so far as to blackmail her with her sister and would not marry her.
Her emotions were completely close to collapse.
How could he do this to her? Did he know or not she loved him all these years?
How could he be so cruel to her?
"What do you mean?" Her heart rose to her throat.
Annie cried, "Sis, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Even if Annie did not continue, Macy probably knew what Annie meant in these words.
She was really crazy.
"You!"
"I must marry Chester, you know I've waited for him for years, and this is my only chance."
Macy felt her brain went blank.
It was a blow to her.
For all these years, she had been protective of Macy, constantly worried that she might die.
She went to great lengths to keep her alive, even to the point of betraying her conscience.
The sisters have nothing left but each other to depend on, so at all costs, she had to get more money.
Just to let her live.
Yet now...
"You don't care about me?" It was a long time before Macy spoke again, yet in the moment she did, she could barely hear her own voice.
Why? Why did things turn out this way?
Annie was sobbing uncontrollably on the other side of the phone.
Her choice was made without hesitation.
All these years of sisterly love she had shown her seemed like a joke.
"Sis, I'm sorry, I, I... " At this point Annie could not continue, but actually made a decision in her heart.
And that decision was heard by Macy.
"From now on, I don't have you as a sister, so behave yourself." After saying that, Macy angrily hung up the phone.
Her choice was so unhesitating.
Macy thought about the sacrifices she had made all these years to keep her alive, renewing her life as if she were mad.
Yet at that time, Annie was so well-behaved, and her sweet cry "Sis." seemed to melt her heart.
Little did she know it was just a reckoning.
Yes, now Macy can only sum up those past years as a reckoning that Annie did to her.
She had no semblance of affection for her, otherwise how could she have been so unhesitating in giving her up?
Her heart was in dull pain.
