- 3.
Two months later, I saw Sierra again.
She was clad in an Hermes bag, a shiny gold necklace around her neck, wearing designer brands from head to toe.
A complete transformation.
Sierra generously bought Mom a pearl necklace and Dad a Rolex watch.
She looked at me with disdain.
“Sis, I didn’t get anything for you. No matter how expensive, people will think it’s fake on you.”
I shrugged indifferently, thinking her good days wouldn’t last long.
My parents‘ combined gifts weren’t even worth thirty thousand, not even as much as Sierra’s outfit.
They couldn’t tell and just praised:
“Sierra is capable, bringing us gifts. We missed you so much. How have you been?”
They reached out to hold Sierra’s hand, but she avoided them.
“I’m good. My dad treats me well. Life with the rich is worlds apart from ordinary life.
Uncle and Aunt, I’m here to share some good news.”
The words “Uncle and Aunt” made my parents‘ faces stiffen, but they were curious about the good news.
“Daughter, what’s the good news?”
Sierra looked smug.
“I’m about to marry Declan Graham, the famous heir of the Graham family in City A. His family tops the wealth list here. Meeting new people really changes you.”
My parents were thrilled.
“Really? Our daughter is amazing. When’s the wedding? We’ll prepare a grand dowry for you.”
Sierra’s face showed a hint of hidden disdain, but her voice was playful.
“Oh, my dad has everything. Doesn’t need a dowry. I’m here to tell you not to attend the wedding. The Carter family says I’m the lost heiress, and rich families care about reputation.”
My parents understood, their eyes filled with disappointment.
I scoffed and said:
“After raising you, you won’t let them attend your wedding. At least let them meet the son–in–law.”
My words hit my parents‘ soft spot. This was the only time they didn’t just think about my sister.
Sierra glared at me.
“Fine, but Declan is busy. I’ll bring him to meet you in a few days.”
