Chapter 43: The Truth Unveiled, A Family Torn Apart–2
I glanced at Natalie, seeing her in a new light. She had called me “the treasure of our family” without hesitation.
Vanessa sobbed harder, then bowed deeply to me. “I’m sorry, Sister Olivia. I was
wrong. I shouldn’t have lied and slandered you. I’m sorry…”
(Connor’s POV)
Without hesitation, I announced coldly, “Dad, Mom, Grandmother, I will be sending my
foster sister abroad.”
My words stunned everyone into silence. The ticking of the grandfather clock in the
corner seemed deafening in the sudden quiet.
Vanessa’s eyes widened with panic, and she started shaking her head wildly.
“No, I don’t want to go abroad! I don’t want to leave!” she cried, her composure completely shattered.
My tone remained resolute and unyielding. “This is a notice, not a discussion.”
(Eleanor’s POV)
I felt my voice tremble in reluctance. Despite her faults, Vanessa had been my
companion for years.
“I disagree. Vanessa keeps me company at home,” I protested. “You and your parents are always so busy–who will be with me if she leaves?”
Then Connor dropped a bombshell, his voice slicing through the room like a blade.
“Vanessa covets her own foster brother. Are you really going to keep her in Riverdale?
Aren’t you afraid of scandal?”
“WHAT!” I nearly choked on my breath, clutching at my chest in shock. William and
Katherine paled with disgust beside me.
(Katherine’s POV)
My face turned ashen as the implication of Connor’s words sank in.
“What is the meaning of this?” I demanded, unable to believe what I was hearing.

Vanessa’s complexion drained of all color. She trembled violently, lips white as chalk.
“Brother, you… you…” she stammered, unable to form a coherent denial.
(Connor’s POV)
My face darkened, my tone merciless as I confronted the truth we had all ignored for
too long.
“Vanessa, put away those filthy thoughts. Stay far away from me. I will never be
interested in you.”
(Olivia’s POV)
I was stunned by his ruthless exposure. My amber eyes widened slightly.
I never expected that, just because I once hinted Vanessa might be infatuated with
her foster brother, Connor would now tear apart all illusions so publicly and cruelly,
even banishing her abroad without mercy.
(Eleanor’s POV)
I felt overwhelmed, clutching my chest as my voice trembled with anger and
heartbreak.
“Is it true? Did you really harbor such shameless feelings for your brother?”
Vanessa desperately wanted to deny it–I could see it in her eyes–but the words died
