Investing thiny thousand dollars to secure a spot. Angela’s attention was immediately drawn to Fanny Gradually, anger and embarrassment welled up within her.

Ahint of coldness flashed in Zacharias eyes. “Angela, do you still consider me your brother? Is there still sense of family in your

eve Upon hearing his words, the lifted her gaze and looked at him.

For some reason, Zacharias felt Angela’s gaze shift from initial hatred to unfamiliarity and distance.

“Zacharias, do you even see me as your sister? Isn’t Fanny the sister you love and acknowledge?” she said lightly. After speaking. Angela left with Jessica.

While observing her departing figure. Fanny’s eyes flickered briefly, and there was a momentary silence.

A few seconds later, she tugged at Zacharias‘ sleeve, lowered her head, and said with teary eyes, Zacharias, it seems Angela blames me. That’s why she’s acting this way. Should | give up the speech slot?”

Seeing Fanny blaming herself, affection flooded through him.

He patted her head and gently said, “She startled you just now, didn’t she? If she wants to act out, let her. Don’t worry about these things. Just focus on preparing for your speech competition.”

“The Kins Family has never mistreated her. They provided her with food, clothing, and ensured her well- being. Yet, she remains unsatisfied. That’s her problem.”

“Zacharias, Mom and Dad spent so much money to help me secure this spot. I'll definitely strive to rank first and live up to their expectations!” Fanny blinked, nodded in agreement, and then glanced at the broken cake on the ground with a regretful expression. “It’s a shame the little cake got ruined. It was the one you went through trouble to bring.”

“Do you like it? I'll buy you another one later.” Thanks!” Fanny sweetly smiled and playfully stuck out her tongue. “You're the best.”

He escorted her into the classroom and planned to continue walking to buy another cake. However, in hist thoughts, the image of Angela defending Jessica involuntarily surfaced.

“If | hear anyone badmouthing Jess again, don’t expect me to be polite!” Angela looked fierce, like a little wolf.

The scene felt familiar. At that time, she had just returned home at the age of ten, appearing like a seven or eight-year-old child due to her petite stature. Meanwhile, her peers had already grown sturdy bodies and were half a head taller than her.

Back then, he was often sick and frail and wasn’t accepted by the children who played outside. When he was left alone, they openly bullied him.

He’d get angry but had no other choice. Fighting back always led to losing, so he learned to endure it publicly and retaliated fiercely in private.

Then came Angela.

She was fierce, like a small, thin, but untamed wolf.

“Anyone bad—mouthing Zacharias, don’t expect me to be politel

She was so thin that her bones protruded, and just bumping into her could cause pain. The other kids. avoided messing with her. Because she was often around, gradually, no one dared to provoke him anymore.

After scaring off the troublemakers, Angela seemed like a tamed little girl. She stayed close and often called out to him ina childish voice.

“Hey, Zacharias...” Zacharias halted his steps and frowned in disgust.

Why am | thinking about her? Angela lacked manners from a young age. It’s not surprising that the family who mistakenly raised her weren't good people either. It’s no wonder she remains wild even after being brought into the Kins Family. Despite their efforts to discipline her for years, they can’t change her crude and rebellious nature, he mused.

Fortunately, they made a mistake in the beginning. If it were Fanny, who was raised by that family, he would be heartbroken. Thinking of her, Zacharias smiled and instantly felt less tired. He quickened his pace, leaving behind the memories.

On the other side, Angela emerged with Jessica and entered a small study room in the school library.

Jessica reflected on the recent incident. Angela had actually thrown a book at Zacharias for her sake. It had startled her. Zacharias had been a sickly child and had received excellent care from the Kins Family.

Angela, even more so, had consulted medical books and studied medicinal cuisine, all in an effort to improve Zacharias‘ health.

She had gone to great lengths for the sake of her physically frail brother. Her protective nature extended to everyone she cared about, as if she were safeguarding their lives. In the past, when she was concerned about the Kins Family, she couldn’t even tolerate a casual comment from her best friend.

But unfortunately...

Those people simply didn’t deserve her protection!

Now, Angela had finally regained her clarity. She had even stood up to Zacharias in a fight to defend 2/3

herself. This had deeply moved Jessica.

“You actually fought Zacharias for me. He’s probably so angry that he needs to be hospitalized! Angela, 1- declare you my half— sister from another mother!”

In an instaci, Angela’s initially melancholic mood disappeared. She chuckled, opened a book, and “Did you ask our dad? Does he know he has another daughter who isn’t related by blood?”

Jessica grinned. “If my dad knew that he had such a gentle and beautiful daughter, he’d be overjoyed!”

Dragging his weary body, Zacharias reminisced about how Fanny loved indulging in small cakes and had thoughtfully brought some just for her. Had he forgotten that Angela was also present?

Despite being his sister, even by blood, he treated her completely differently.

Suddenly, another thought crossed Jessica’s mind. She snorted. “Do you know how Fanny secured her spot in the speech competition?”

Angela glanced at her. “Do you know?”

Jessica nodded with a disdainful expression, saying. “Zacharias paid over ten thousand dollars to acquire it from the neighboring university. There were two available slots, one of which was reserved for a financially challenged student. When that student heard the price, they readily agreed. Of course, to negotiate with the other university, Zacharias had to pay an additional ten thousand. He spent almost thirty thousand just for one slot. And how much was the prize money for the speech competition? Eight thousand. It’s like burning money.”

Angela remained silent for a moment, lost in thought.

Zacharias, the eldest son of the Kins Family, had been groomed as the heir since childhood. After graduating, he quickly entered the company and held a position of power for two years. Naturally, he could afford this money. Moreover, it was for his beloved sister, so spending some money for her wasn’t a big deal.

However, in her previous life, Angela had spent over a decade in the Kins Family, and all the combined expenses didn’t amount to thirty thousand. After college, when she started working, the Kins Family never provided her with money again. As for her brothers, they didn’t even give her a penny, let alone share a piece of candy.

Every festival, she had to buy gifts and distribute gift money to each of them, resulting in a significant expense each time. This was in 2004, when the average annual salary nationwide was only dollars. In the capital, where housing prices were high, it was merely 6,000 dollars per square meter. The purchasing power of thirty thousand back then was significantly different from its future value.

Her household registration still belonged to the Kins Family, and she felt restricted in whatever she wanted to do. Angela bit her lip. She needed to find a way to change her household registration away from the Kins Family.
