Through the shelter’s social media, we launched a boycott of the White family’s products, having uncovered numerous instances of substandard ingredients and shoddy manufacturing. The White family’s stock plummeted instantly, and Lily’s foundation was reported for embezzling charitab-
le funds.
She was eventually sent away by her family for ‘rehabilitation‘ at a grassroots level, and her engagement to Cole was, of course, called off.
After working remotely for a few days, Cole decided it’s time to go back.
“Big sister, I’ll handle everything and come back to marry you. Just wait for me.”
“Are you out of your mind? Who said i’d marry you?”
“I’ve always been ‘sick,‘ you know that.”
I waited for him while working, but instead, I got the call that my brother, Ryan, was being discharged. I tried to contact Cole, but couldn’t reach
him. So, I moved into Ryan’s place for the time being.
Ryan had just been discharged from the rehabilitation facility and was still a bit frail. I had to help him with his physical therapy every day.
One day, after picking up his medication from the hospital, the moment we stepped out, I was yanked into a car. “Cole Miller, are you insane?!”
Seeing Cole’s face, I couldn’t help but curse.
He was furious, biting my lower lip directly, kissing me until I was breathless. “So big sister likes older men, huh? What’s so great about him?”
He grew angrier with each word, then bit my waist. “I waited for you at your place for days, and here you are, found someone new, huh?”
“I even cut ties with my family, and you expect me to show up with tens of millions to be a side piece?!”
As he spoke, his voice grew choked with emotion, and he buried his face in my neck, rubbing against me. “Big sister, you’re not married to him yet, are you? Even if you were, could you still make room for me?”
“That’s my brother,” I said, exasperated. “Cole Miller, what in the world are you thinking?”
He froze, his ears visibly flushing crimson. I hit him, frustrated. “If you ever pull something like that again, I swear I’ll never talk to you!”
“Don’t
say t
that! I’m sorry!” Cole caved, as quickly as ever. He pressed me back against the seat, gently kissing my earlobe. “Big sister, can you…
can you pet my head again?”
