Chapter 919

Chapter 919:

Sarai froze, her heart leaping into her throat.

“Elaine, please don’t be angry,” Sarai said, her expression morphing into one of practiced innocence. “I’ve said it wrong.”

Elaine found Sarai’s acting utterly repulsive. How had she missed seeing through Sarai’s act before? Memories of Sarai’s meddling—years of sowing misunderstandings between her and her brother—flashed through her mind like burning coals. Rage surged.

Elaine’s hand cracked against Sarai’s cheek with a force that reverberated through the room. Not satisfied, she delivered another slap to the other side. Elaine only felt a little better once Sarai’s cheeks were puffed.

Sarai was shocked by the sudden attack. She hadn’t expected such ferocity from Elaine, who had been married to Glenn for so many years.

“Elaine, I’m sorry.”

“I shouldn’t have spoken ill of you behind your back,” Sarai started crying, subtly watching Luka from the corner of her eyes.

Luka walked up to Elaine, a frown etched on his face. “Elaine, why would you do that?”

Elaine’s lips pressed into a thin line. She didn’t respond.

Meanwhile, Sarai’s heart swelled with glee. Luka’s anger with Elaine could only work to her advantage. If she could drive a deeper wedge between them, she might finally secure her place in Luka’s family. With her daughter and husband in prison, she needed someone she could count on.

She’d heard that Timeless Elegance had secured funding from Homelight Enterprise, which promised a bright future. Sarai was so excited that she could barely contain her joy.

“What if you hurt your hand doing that? Next time, let the bodyguards do it for you,” Luka said.

Elaine smiled and replied, “Luka, it didn’t hurt at all. I actually felt pretty satisfied!”

“You haven’t changed since you were a kid!” Luka couldn’t help but smile at how playful she was.

Sarai was completely shocked, thinking she must have misheard. What was Luka even saying? She couldn’t stop herself from shouting, “Luka, she hit me!”

Luka snapped around to face Sarai, his eyes cold and intense. “Didn’t you bring this on yourself? Sarai, I never thought you could be so spiteful, sowing discord between my sister and I! How could you let us stay misunderstood for all these years?”

What? Sarai was completely stunned. Then, she realized her actions from twenty years ago had been uncovered. But how could that be? Weren’t these two supposed to be separated for good?

“Luka, I didn’t do that. Has she misled you?” Sarai firmly insisted.

Luka was angry, his eyes cold and intense. “You’re still trying to fool us? Even if my sister messed up, I’d still have her back as her brother! Sarai, just wait. You’re going to have to pay back every penny I’ve lent you over the years! Don’t think I haven’t noticed your little schemes!”
