Itzel had a dinner appointment with Rachel in the evening. During the dinner, she mentioned the relationship between Rodney and Celia. âWhen are they going to get married?â
âDonât mention it!â Rachel sighed. âIâm afraid there will be changes in this matter.â
âA change?â Itzelâs heart sank. âDonât you like Celia the most?â
Rachel put down her chopsticks and told Itzel about Amber. She concluded, âSince Amber knows that she is the daughter of Channing, why didnât she admit her identity? Now that she saw Celia and Rodney getting engaged, she suddenly came back and moved into the Black family. What do you think she wants?â
âWhat can you do? Rodney and Celia are stuck in the throat!â Itzel replied.
âNow itâs me!â Rachel took Itzel as a friend, so she didnât hide it. âI used to like her no matter how I looked at her, but now I really donât like her. You know that I hate mistresses the most, but now Iâve chosen a daughter of a mistress for my son. Itâs really uncomfortable to think about it.â
Itzelâs face darkened when she heard that, but Rachel didnât pay attention to it. âShannon was obviously a mistress, but she pretended to be a legal wife. She treated others as fools and said that Amber had no news after he was taken away. The more I thought about it, the more upset I felt. Amberâs mother died when she was in her teens. Celia was only a few years younger than Amber. Itâs not that she canât remember. How could she not know Amber?â
âMaybe theyâve all changed.â
âNo matter how much she changes, she canât be much different. I suspect that Celia knew Amberâs identity at the beginning, but she still came to steal my sisterâs man. Isnât she the same as her mother?â
Rachel thought of the disgust that Amber showed when he saw Celia. At that time, she always thought that Amber was narrow-
minded, but now she suddenly understood.
It was not because Amber and Celia were born against each other, but because Celia was the daughter of the mistress. How could Amber, a legitimate wifeâs daughter, be intimate with the mistressâs daughter?
âShannon has gone too far, but she canât be beaten to death. I think Celia is kind, gentle, and virtuous. She is definitely not the kind of person you are talking about.â Itzel defended Celia.
âShe doesnât look like it, but Iâm very annoyed now.â Rachel sighed.
âWhat have I done wrong? If I hadnât looked down on Amber at that time, I wouldnât have done so many things. Youâre right. Iâve thought a lot in the past two days. Amber couldnât get pregnant at that time, not because he couldnât give birth. Itâs because I gave him too much pressure. If I hadnât treated her like that at that time, she might have given birth to a son for Rodney. The most important thing is that the son is happy, and Amber wonât target me.â
She was a person who couldnât stand it, so she told Itzel about the sports meeting. Although Rodney said that fair competition was the meaning of the province, Rachel didnât believe it at all. She thought it was Amber who did it. Both her hands and hands were made of meat. Channing didnât know how to explain it, so he deliberately did it.
âIf Channing has been dealing with both sides like this in the future, there is really no need to get married.â
After breaking up with Rachel, Itzel drove home. On the way, she received a call from Shannon. âHow is it going?â
âRachel is not enthusiastic anymore,â Itzel replied. âShe said she doesnât want her son to marry a mistressâ daughter.â
âThis old b*tch is just a snobbish woman. What right does she have to pretend to be noble?â Shannon was furious.
âWhatâs the use of being angry?â Itzel sneered. âItâs better to think of more ways to get angry. Rachel is angry because she is afraid that she wonât be able to eat the fat meat of the sports meeting. You can find a way to let her eat it.â
âDo you think I donât want to? But this time, Mr. Black canât make a decision. I can only stare at him.â Shannon sighed and told him about the auction for the sports meeting that required design works. Only then did Itzel know the reason. Her eyes lit up.
âLeave this matter to me. I have a way!â
After dinner, Ashton took a walk in the neighborhood. Just as he was about to return home, a figure suddenly appeared. âBrother, how have you been!â
âWhat are you doing here?â Ashtonâs face darkened when he saw who it was.
âI have a few words to say to my brother.â Itzelâs face was wreathed in smiles. She completely ignored Ashtonâs ugly expression.
âItâs not very convenient for people to come and speak outside. Letâs find a quiet place to talk.â
Ashton turned around, followed by Itzel. The two of them went to the nearby tea room one after the other.
âWhat are you trying to say?â Ashton looked indifferently at Itzel. Although the person in front of him was his half-sister, he had never liked her.
âI want to ask my brother to do something for me.â
âWhat can I do for you in my current state?â Ashton asked.
âThis is a piece of cake for me. I want to ask you to help me make a venue design about the sports meeting.â
Ashton looked at Itzel in shock. âWhat do you want the venue Forging Design for?â
âIâm useful. Brother, please help me.â
Ashton frowned slightly. It was useless for Itzel, a doctor, to ask for the venue design of the sports meeting. Was it to please Reece? Thinking about it, it was not right. Reece did not care about the family business at all. How could he pay attention to this matter?
Suddenly, he thought of the relationship between Itzel and Rachel. He could vaguely guess what Itzel wanted the Forging Design for, so he firmly refused. âIâll help you with your work.â
âWhy? Brother, this is not difficult for you. Why donât you help me?â
âNo reason.â
âIâve never begged you for anything. Brother, please help me this time,â Itzel begged.
âYou donât have to say anything. I wonât help you.â
âBrother, how can you be so heartless? Iâm your only sister.â Itzel reminded him. Seeing that Ashton was unmoved, she sneered.
âBrother, think it over. I can do anything.â
âWhat do you want to do?â
âI donât want to do anything. If I leak the news that you are not Ashton to Amber, what do you think will happen?â
âAre you threatening me?â
âIâm not threatening you. Iâm just reminding my brother.â
Ashton looked at Itzel coldly. âHow did you end up like this? Why are you so shameless? Huh?â
âShameless? Hehe!â Itzel laughed. âWhat right does my brother have to criticize me? Actually, when it comes to shamelessness, that b*tch is many times stronger than I donât know. But I have never seen my brother talk about her. I have always wanted to know why.â
As soon as Itzel finished speaking, Ashton suddenly grabbed the cup on the table and splashed it on her face. Itzel couldnât dodge in time and was splashed with tea. She wasnât angry at all. She reached out to wipe away the tea leaves on her face and still had a smile on her face. âWhy did you lose your temper, brother? Did I say anything wrong?â
âGet lost!â The veins on Ashtonâs hands were exposed. He was sure that he was furious to the extreme.
âBrother, I wonât leave. I wonât leave until you promise to help me.â
âDonât even think about it!â
âI am your sister. Although I am not born of the same mother, at least I am a father. Why are you so cruel to me?â
âDonât you know what youâve done?â Ashton asked.
âI donât know!â The smile on Itzelâs face finally disappeared. âFrom the moment I could remember, I only saw how good you were to that b*tch and what good things you had to leave to her. I donât understand. What is so good about her that you have to give her so much?â
âSheâs better than you in every aspect!â Ashton sneered.
âGood! Good! Good!â Itzel said three good words in a row, and then spat out a sentence in a gloomy tone, âAs expected, in the eyes of a lover, their partner is always a beauty!â
âBastard! Is this what people say?â Ashton slapped him in the face. Itzel didnât dodge the slap and bore it. Blood oozed out of the corner of her mouth, but she didnât wipe it away and just looked at Ashton. âBrother, this is the second time youâve hit me. For that bitch, you hit me again!â
âShouldnât you beat her?â Ashton glared at Itzel. âSheâs our sister. Do you think she said those words?â
âSister? This is your first time calling her sister, isnât it? I remember that you used to call her a sweet girl.â Itzel sneered. âSince you know that she is my sister, why do you like her? There are many beautiful women in the world. Why do you like her?â
âIs it wrong for me to like her? Is it wrong for me to like my sister?â Ashton asked.
âItâs not wrong that you like my sister, but you canât only see my sister and not my sister.â Itzel also glared at Ashton. âYou shouldnât have fallen in love with your sister. Youâre a barbarian. Donât you know that?â
âItzel!â Ashton was trembling with anger. âYou... you canât spit ivory out of your filthy mouth! I and Ashley are not what you think!â
âItâs not what I think. Brother, donât deny it. I know you love her. The way you look at her is not the way I look at you, but the way I look at my lover.â
Since he said it, Itzel had no scruples at all. âYour career is at its peak, but when you heard that the bitch got married, you didnât want to come back. For that bitch, you are willing to be an ordinary person and live as a dead person. Brother, what are you doing this for? Huh?â
âYouâre crazy! Youâre crazy!â Ashton gasped.
âIâm crazy. Itâs impossible for me not to be crazy when I see my brother and sister in a mess. Iâm telling you, Issac. If it werenât for you and that b*tch, I would have already done something that would damage our family.â Itzel shouted at Ashton, âYou have to thank me! I stopped you!â
âWhat did you do?â Ashton looked at the crazy Itzel in astonishment. âWhat else did you do other than stealing the chance to be a boyfriend?
âWhat can I do? I just told her that you liked her and let her make her own decisions.â Itzel sneered.
âYou...â Ashtonâs face turned green. No wonder Ashleyâs attitude towards him had changed so much. No wonder Ashley had ignored her advice. So this was the reason. âHow could you be so vicious? Sheâs your sister! How could you treat her like this?â
âI donât have such a shameless sister!â Itzel sneered. âShe stole my maternal love, my brother, and the man I love. Why should I give in to her? Why?â
âYou and I know very well what the truth is. At first, the person Reece liked was Ashley. It was you who deliberately climbed into Reeceâs bed. It was you who stimulated Ashley to force her to choose Channing. How can you be so bad!â Ashton looked at Itzel bitterly.
âI didnât grab it. Reece is my man.â Itzel retorted. âAshley shamelessly took the initiative to seduce Reece!â
Even a shameless ghost would be scared. Itzel was so shameless that she made Ashton cough. Seeing that he was out of breath, Itzel stepped forward to help him calm down. âBrother, are you alright?â
Ashton pushed her away. âHow could I... How could I have a sister like you?â
Ashton coughed for quite a while before recovering. Itzel poured her a glass of water. âBrother, have a glass of water.â
Ashton didnât take the water, but just stared at Itzel. Itzel lowered her head under his gaze, but she didnât change her mind.
âBrother, you have to help me. Iâm your sister. Iâm begging you for this. I wonât beg you in the future!â
There was a dead silence in the room. After a long time, Ashton nodded. âI can promise you, but after this matter, we wonât have anything to do with each other.â
âBrother!â
Ashton stared at her. âMake your choice.â
Itzel was silent for a moment. âIâll choose the venue design.â
