Chapter 159: Is This Fair To Claire?

Allen closed his eyes, pounded his chest with anger, and said in grief, “We’ve raised you for more than ten years, but how did you repay us? Isn’t your brother kind to you? Since your childhood, he has been doting on you. How did you have the heart to hurt him like this?!”
On the sofa, Ada covered her face with her hands, tears seeping from between her fingers.
In the silent hall, footsteps suddenly sounded.
Phoebe turned her head to look, with tears still hanging on her face, and saw Sheldon coming down from the second floor, standing in front of the stairs, looking at her from a distance.
His fragile eyes gradually dimmed, but there was no sadness or anger in his eyes. They were like a pool of stagnant water without the slightest waves. This was the look that would only appear when someone was extremely disappointed.
The brother, who was full of joy whenever he saw her, no longer existed.
A burst of fear came to her heart, and Phoebe got up from the ground and hurriedly ran towards Sheldon.
“Brother!”
No longer stretching out his hand to catch the girl running towards him like before, Sheldon turned around indifferently and left without any hesitation in his footsteps.
Chasing him all the way to the second floor, Phoebe firmly grasped Sheldon’s sleeves, and before she could speak anything, tears fell again.
“Brother… I know I was wrong. Please don’t ignore me, okay…”
Sheldon didn’t say a word and only pulled back his sleeves, ready to leave.
Looking at his silent back, Phoebe screamed uncontrollably. “Brother! I didn’t mean to harm you. I just wanted to target Claire! I was so scared… that she would take you all away from me. You and Grandpa have already begun to favor her. Who will be next? Dad? Or Mom? What if you all love her and don’t love me anymore?! I can’t accept it! It’s unfair to me!”
Sheldon paused and turned his head slowly.
His face was bloodless and his voice was trembling a little. “So… you can even make use of me? Phoebe, look at me and tell me how I treat you? You once wanted to watch the MO band’s concert. I stayed up for three nights to grab a ticket for you! The year before last, you called me up in tears and said that you were bullied. I gave up the contest I was going to attend and rushed back overnight from another city to avenge you though I had been preparing for that contest for one whole month!”
“When I knew that you were not my biological sister, I thought to myself, so what? You would always be my most beloved sister. Ever since Claire was brought home, have I ever smiled at her? ! You say it’s unfair to you, but have you ever thought if all this is fair to Claire?!”
Phoebe bit her lip and couldn’t say a word.
Sheldon took a breath, fighting back the tears in his eyes. He turned around, entered his room, and slammed the door.
The loud bang seemed to strike Phoebe straight in the heart.
She covered her face and cried bitterly.
Not long after, Claire returned home. As soon as she entered the door, she keenly smelled danger.
The coffee table was crooked, and files were scattered on the ground. It was obvious that a fight had taken place just now.
The servants hid in the corner, and when they saw her, they started pointing.
“She’s really a jinx, causing her family to quarrel so frequently!”
“When she didn’t live here, there were never any such problems!”
“If this family is ruined, it is all her responsibility!”
Claire tilted her head and smiled. Her voice was loud enough to resound throughout the hall. “If you have the guts, say that to my face.”
The servants immediately shut up.
Until midnight, the Smiths’ house continued to echo with cries.
