Younger Sister
Linda was livid. I’ve underestimated this brat. She looks innocent, but she’s not a fool.
Christina picked up the fruits on the ground and returned them to their original place. “Since you appear
to be in good health and don’t seem like a patient, Ms. Macall, I can go back now.”
Seeing that the younger woman was about to leave, Linda girl could not help but scoff. “Don’t think that
Julia will accept you simply because you helped her. Don’t be naive.”
Christina froze in her tracks.
Her reaction told Linda that she was right on the money, and she continued, “Do you know why I
couldn’t officially enter the Hadley family even after so many years? It’s because I’m from a lower social
class. Julia comes from a prominent family, and what they look down on most are people from the
lowest class of society. If she did accept you, why hasn’t she brought you to any of her circle’s events?
She still doesn’t acknowledge you as her daughter–in–law at the end of the day. You and I are the
same, Christina. Like me, you’ll never be accepted by them!”
Christina was a little upset by her words, but she quickly put on a smile. “You’re wrong. We’re not the
same.”
Linda’s pupils dilated slightly. She could not understand Christina’s words, but by the time she regained
her senses and wanted to inquire further, the latter had already left the room.
The blinding sunlight outside seemed as if it could dispel one’s innermost thoughts.
Christina knew she was different from Linda. Everything the latter did was geared toward marrying into
an affluent family, whereas she did it for Nathaniel.
All she wanted was for him to have a complete family and to make him happy.
My own family is so shattered that none of its pieces can be reassembled. I know how painful it is…
Upon returning to Radiant Corporation, Christina began working and did not think of anything else.
Shelley knocked on the door before entering. “Ms. Steele, Ms. Tanner would like you to revise these
designs. The new collection will be released soon.”
The release of new collections in Radiant Corporation’s stores was the fastest in the industry.
Since Christina was in charge of the design drawing for the upcoming season, she had to create a
template before the textile factory could ship it.
She took the design drawing from Shelley, picked up her pencil, and started revising it.
Shelley stood beside her and observed her work. While watching intently, she voiced her thoughts
curiously, “Ms. Steele, I find that some design points and elements between you and Ada are very
similar.”
Ada?
Christina put her pencil down and looked at Shelley. “You know Ada?”
“Of course. She’s an incredible designer. She previously worked in a studio but left for some reason.”
Shelley said.
Her eyes sparkled when she spoke of Ada, the typical expression of an admirer.
The corner of Christina’s mouth quirked up, and she said in her melodious voice, “I remember that her
works are very few. How have you seen her designs?”
“That’s because the owner of the studio is my aunt, so it’s easy for me to see them. I keep every design
draft Ada created in the studio,” Shelley said confidently.
Christina’s gaze darkened when she heard that.
I see. So Hannah gave my design drawings to someone else behind my back….
Christina felt as if someone had stabbed her in the chest. She had once thought that Hannah was very
good to her. When the latter invited her to join her studio, she had sworn to keep her identity a secret
and even stated that her design drawings would be exclusively hers.
“Are you also a fan of Ada, Ms. Steele?” Shelley asked curiously.
Christina snapped out of her reverie with a faint smile devoid of emotion. “You could say that. She is a
good designer.”
“Those are my collection. I’ll send them to you when I go back.”
With that, Shelley walked away cheerfully.
Christina let out a soft sigh. She decided at that precise moment not to create any further work under
the name Ada.
Just before getting off work, Christina received a call from Charlie.
“Linda said that she’s feeling unwell. Can you go to the hospital again and check on her?”
Christina knitted her brows. Wasn’t she still energetic when I went to see her in the morning?
“All right, Dad. I’ll head over now.”
She packed her things and went to the hospital.
In the ward, Linda’s demeanor was drastically different from the morning.
She was lying on the bed, dressed in a hospital gown, and looked displeased when she saw that the
person who came was Christina. “Hurry up. Take a picture of my sickly appearance and show it to
Charlie. I’m seriously ill.”
Christina gave her an incredulous stare. “You seem quite well to me. You don’t appear to be sick at all,
Ms. Macall.”
She truly could not stand Linda. Why does she bother doing this when Charlie no longer wants to look
after her?
After a while, a nurse came in and called Linda to go for an MRI scan.
Linda immediately put on an act. “Come here and help me there.”
There’s nothing wrong with her body, yet she had to put on such a show.
Christina had no choice but to assist Linda and wheel her to the examination room as though she was
attending to a spoiled young lady.
Linda kept her busy until night.
After the examination, Linda would not let Christina leave as she wanted the latter to accompany her.
“If you dare to leave, I’ll call Charlie and tell him that you’re not doing your job at all.”
At that moment, Christina profoundly empathized with Charlie’s helplessness. A bedeviling person like
her is indeed troublesome.
There was nothing she could do but stay until Linda had fallen asleep before leaving.
In the end, it was Christina who fell asleep instead of Linda.
Linda took out her phone and snapped a photo of Christina sleeping by the bed. This brat isn’t stupid.
IfI have her on my side, I can surely get back together with Charlie.
At that thought, an idea popped up in her mind. Immediately after, her lips curved into a sly grin.
Only after he was done filming the drama did Francis rush to the hospital in the wee hours of the
morning.
He spotted Christina’s slender figure sprawled on the hospital bed as soon as he entered the room.
Why is
she here?
Linda had not seen him in a long time, so she immediately got out of bed and approached him. “My
darling son, you’re finally here. I’ve missed you.”
“You’re not sick?” Francis noticed that his mother was in good spirits and could even smile. She was
nothing near seriously ill as he had heard over the phone.
Linda smiled slightly. “If I didn’t say that, would you have come over? Would your dad have cared about
me? I can’t let him go back to Julia.”
“Mom, you and her have fought for Dad for so many years, and you still can’t stop?” Francis held his
mother’s hand. “I can make money now and also give you a good life. You need not live at the mercy
others.”
of
There was a period when the Hadley family ruthlessly suppressed him and Linda when they discovered
his existence in the past.
That painful experience remained vivid in his memory.
Nathaniel grew up not acknowledging his existence and had discreetly given him pressure when he
appeared on–screen.
Nathaniel doesn’t want people to know that he has an illegitimate younger brother. It’s a stain in his
otherwise glorious life.
Linda had a gloomy look in her eyes. “I’ve sacrificed so much. There’s no way I’m giving up like that.
Don’t forget how your unborn younger sister died!”
