CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 60: WHY MUST SYLVIA BE SACRIFICED?

A cheerful female voice came from the other side, innocent and lively, "Sister, are you at Aurelia University tomorrow?"

Meredith nudged Maeve Lane, whispering, "Is that your real sister? How come you never mentioned her before?"

Maeve Lane nodded slightly, added, "She’s still in high school."

In fact, Maeve rarely mentions her family matters, but Meredith can guess that Maeve’s family background is definitely extraordinary, judging by her demeanor and mannerisms, it’s an upbringing etched in her bones.

No matter how unruly Maeve usually appears, the details can’t be hidden.

Although she often wears a cold face, just a slight smile coupled with her looks and charisma is enough to enchant people.

"Yes." Maeve’s voice was crisp and clear.

Sylvia Lane said over the phone, "Sister, mom said I should bring you something to eat, she made it herself. If you’re at school, I’ll bring it over to you!"

"Okay, come to Valerius Hall 1 tomorrow."

"Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Maeve lightly twisted her phone, and beneath her curled lashes, her fox-like eyes seemed deeper than usual.

Meredith looked at her, "What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy your sister is coming to see you?"

"Happy." Maeve said with a half-smile, "Just a bit surprised, that’s all."

After all, her father directly nailed her to the pillar of shame, hoping to never see her again.

That’s also why, even though her family is here, she lives at the school.

Anson Lane probably wouldn’t agree to mom bringing her anything.

If she guessed right, Sylvia must have secretly brought it following their mother’s advice.

And Sylvia has always been especially obedient to Anson Lane since she was young, if he told her to go east, Sylvia wouldn’t dare go west, plus she has a gentle personality. It really surprised her that Sylvia dared to come see her behind her father’s back this time.

...

After Maeve hung up the phone, Sylvia Lane tossed her phone onto the bed.

Her clear eyes betrayed a hint of malice born out of jealousy.

"Why can you still live so well?" Her desk was covered in photos, without exception, all of Maeve.

Maeve having meals with men, Maeve surrounded by a crowd like a star, Maeve chasing people...

She had even clipped all the news about Maeve from the Aurelia University newspaper, piling it up in a mess, creating a sizable stack.

"Your filthy body that was once defiled should be expelled immediately!" Shirley Lane picked up a photo of Maeve, cutting it bit by bit with scissors, her expression seemed somewhat frightening in the dimly lit, unlit room, "We have the same parents, why can you marry into a wealthy family while I can only be your backdrop!"

She had originally thought that after that incident, Maeve would be ruined, but she hadn’t expected her life at Aurelia University to be even better than hers at the affiliated high school!

This wasn’t what she wanted at all!

They should despise her! Hate her! Isolate her!

The more Sylvia thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn’t want to see Maeve at all, but she just had to go and take a look - preferably to see Maeve complaining to her! The worse she lived, the happier Sylvia was!!

She looked at her own face in the mirror, readjusted a bit, and finally showed a sweet expression, her smile somewhat mocking, "It’s time to have a chat with that biased mother."

She walked out of her own room and headed to Rosalyn Jennings (Mrs. Lane) and Anson Lane’s room.

The door was not closed, a middle-aged man was wearing a black suit, holding a phone, and talking.

It was father.

Mother was not in the room.

Sylvia took one look and was about to leave—

"... Sylvia is my precious jewel. Why would I sacrifice Sylvia to marry Maeve off to that old, ugly, and disabled second son for resources?"

She was startled and stopped in her tracks.
