My Reborn Story Is Insane novel Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Fake

Finished

All my efforts, wasted on these blind fools who defend outsiders instead of their own, Charmaine thought bitterly.

Willard’s face was grim. Though he had never once fulfilled his duties as a father, his tone now carried a commanding arrogance as he scolded, “Charmaine, we know we owe you from the past, but that doesn’t mean we’ll indulge your constant misbehavior.”

Charmaine sneered, her voice dripping with sarcasm as she retorted, “Oh, so you admit you owe me? And bringing me back to the Nelsons is your idea of compensation? And I’m supposed to be grateful for that? The great Nelson family sure knows how to bestow generosity!”

Willard was stunned. He could hardly believe Charmaine would say something so blatantly disrespectful.

Jonah fixed Charmaine with a stern glare with the commanding presence of a seasoned CEO. “Enough, Charmaine. Apologize to Dad and Leah. Now.”

“Apologize for what? Didn’t your dear father just say you’ve all been indulging my tantrums? And here I am, throwing one, and you can’t even handle it?”

Her words were like daggers, each one aimed at piercing them where it hurt the most.

The entire Nelsons stood in shock. Had Charmaine truly lost her mind? 

“Mom, Dad, Grandma, everyone … it’s not Charmaine’s fault, it’s mine!

“I was the one who grabbed her, If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have fallen, and the Skydance Bowl wouldn’t be broken. Please, don’t blame her for my mistake!” Leah finally spoke, stepping forward.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and her slim knees were visibly bruised and swollen. Her expression was pitiful, pleading as she glanced at everyone.

What was Leah like before? 

She had once been the cherished little princess of the Nelsons, spoiled and willful. There were few in the Eragos who dared to cross her, knowing she was the apple of the Nelsons.

But ever since Leah found out two years ago that she wasn’t the Nelsons’ biological daughter, she had become cautious, gentle, and compliant, afraid of being cast out of the family.

And now, despite her injuries and the destruction of the priceless antique, Leah was taking all the blame upon herself, kindly trying to shield Charmaine. Who in the Nelson family wouldn’t be moved by such a display? In contrast, Charmaine seemed even more like a senseless troublemaker, a parasite bent on stirring up turmoil and disrupting the family’s peace. 

Finally, Alec, the second brother who had been silent until now, spoke up.””That bowl was something Leah went to great lengths to acquire. It’s worth 300 million dollars. Zayn isn’t going to make a fuss over the money. Charmaine, just apologize to Leah, and we’ll let tonight’s events go.”

The head of the family, Willard, added, “Charmaine, I know you’ve felt wronged tonight, but you can’t take it out on Leah. Apologize, and everyone will forgive you.”

His tone made it sound like he was already offering her the greatest of concessions.

And wasn’t she? It’s a 300–million–dollar artifact, after all.
