CHAPTER 479: CHAPTER 479 BRAINWASHING

Johan Niles felt very tired, his head ached.

He couldn’t control his sister at all; from childhood to adulthood, it was always his sister controlling him.

"If you keep this up, I’ll tell Mom and Dad and have them deal with you."

"Mom and Dad will support me, they have always been fond of me."

Johan Niles lowered his head, feeling restless.

What she said was true; Mom and Dad indeed pampered her. Other families prioritize boys over girls, but theirs favored girls over boys. The daughter was the treasure, the son was the grass.

Back when Natalie Niles wanted to join the special forces, Mom and Dad were afraid she’d suffer and wouldn’t let her go, but she insisted. The family couldn’t bear to stop her, so they pulled all possible resources within the military, hoping she would have a better experience there.

"Sis, do you really like Connor?"

"I do."

"You don’t like Young Master Hunter?"

"I don’t."

Natalie Niles sat beside him, holding his arm: "Johan, don’t you support me in pursuing my happiness? Cora Ginger is so materialistic, even if she marries Connor, she might be drawn away by someone richer. Do you really think she deserves Connor?"

Johan Niles said nothing, but a crack appeared in his heart.

Yes, Connor had said that Cora Ginger wanted to be a wealthy lady and desperately wanted to marry into a rich family.

His heart’s scales swayed back and forth, two thoughts fiercely battling each other.

Of course, he wanted his sister to be happy!

Of course, he knew Connor was great, if they were together...

No, no, no!

It’s not okay!

Johan Niles suddenly stood up: "Stay away from me! Don’t brainwash me!"

He hurried back to his room, locked the door, isolating Natalie Niles outside. Only then did he feel a bit clearer-headed.

Tomorrow, he must ask Connor again, what exactly is going on, how could he possibly embrace Natalie?

...

At nine in the morning, Isabella Weaver brought Grace Watt and some fruits to visit Cora Ginger’s house.

The door was opened by Zack Ginger, who was wary and defensive: "Who are you?"

"I’m a friend of Cora’s, here to see her. Is she home?"

"No!"

Zack Ginger didn’t want any complications, just wanted to quickly marry off his sister, securing money and a house.

He wanted to close the door, Grace Watt suddenly kicked it.

The iron door was kicked down, a piece broken off!

She pushed the door open, ignoring Zack Ginger’s shocked and angry expression, bent down and said: "Young Madam, please come in! Our people have checked, Cora Ginger is home."

Isabella Weaver walked in.

"Who are you? You’re trespassing into our home, this is illegal! I can call the police to arrest you!"

Zack Ginger quickly blocked Cora Ginger’s door: "You dare think you’ll take my sister away!"

From inside came Cora Ginger’s voice: "Brother, what’s going on?"

"Cora, it’s me, I came to see you!"

Isabella Weaver raised her voice, shouted a sentence, then said to Zack Ginger: "Why are you so reactive? I’m just here to see a friend, why do you think we’re going to take her away?"

Zack Ginger then realized he misspoke due to his guilty conscience.

Grace Watt found him in the way, pushed him aside, and opened Cora Ginger’s door.

Isabella Weaver didn’t go inside, she suddenly walked to another room, through the half-open door, saw two people lying on a shabby bed.

The woman had lost all her hair, her face pale with no color, and the man’s legs were in plaster, wrapped layer upon layer.

Isabella Weaver turned back, shocked: "Cora, what happened to your parents?"

Cora Ginger spoke with difficulty: "My mom has cancer, just finished chemotherapy, and my dad had a car accident, his legs are broken."
