Now that Brielle is back, it’s time for me to make room for her in the family. Goodbye.”
With that, she jumped off the roof.
Chapter 4
The Lynch’s villa had only two floors, and the distance from the roof to the ground was only 7 meters.
Besides, they had already put a thick rescue air cushion down there.
As soon as Shirley jumped down, all the Lynch family and Camden rushed towards her.
That night, the sound of an ambulance echoed through the Lynch’s villa.
After they all went to the hospital, I limped back to my own room, which used to be just a storage room.
I lay in bed, looked at my phone, and saw that it was 00:21 AM, December 16th.
Camden failed to keep his promise and didn’t celebrate my birthday with me.
But I didn’t mind either.
Eight days later, I would be able to cut ties with them completely.
I should be happy.
For the next four days, I went to work as usual.
The Lynch family were all at the hospital taking care of Shirley and didn’t come back.
Just as I finished work in the evening, a notification popped up on my phone screen. It was a news headline.
“The heir of the Hoover family, Camden Hoover, and the daughter of the Lynch family, Shirley Lynch, will hold their wedding in four days!”
I froze in place, and my heart sank.
When I got back home, my parents, Paul, Camden, and Shirley were all there.
My mom first scolded me in German, “Coming back so late. Don’t know what you’ve been doing out there all day.”
My dad gave her a glance.
Then, my mom said to me in a kind and gentle voice, “Brielle, you’re finally back. We’ve been waiting for you.”
Dad spoke up at this time, “The doctor said that because of seeing you, Shirley was reminded of something that happened five years ago and had depression. She became emotionally overwhelmed, and that’s why she wanted to jump off the building.
“So, in order to compensate her and make her a little happier, we took the liberty of letting Shirley be Camden’s fiancée instead.
“You don’t have any objections, do you?”
I silently listened to them talking, mockery filling in my eyes.
They had already made the decision for me. What was the use of asking for my opinion now?
I looked at Camden, asking, “You also agreed to this?”
I knew deep down what his answer would be.
Sure enough, Camden walked up to me with an affectionate expression on his face, took hold of my hand, and placed it on his ches
Then, he replied, “The only thing that can make Shirley happy now is to let her marry me. Don’t worry. It’s not real. I’ll only have a wedding with her to stabilize her emotions.”
Not real?
Perhaps it was not real now. But in the future, if Shirley’s heart disease or depression were to flare up again, then their marriage would become a real thing.
I lowered my gaze and sneered, withdrawing my hand from his hold.
“Okay… Whatever you say.”
Hearing my reply, Camden felt a panic in his heart, feeling as if something was quickly slipping out of his control.
Just as he wanted to explain something, Shirley, sitting between Mom and Dad, spoke up.
“Brielle, if you’re unwilling, then forget it.”

With that, she bit her lip tightly until it bled.
Upon seeing this, Pard immediately grabbed a tissue to stop her bleeding,
Meanwhile, he scolded me angrily, “Brielle! Didn’t you see Shirley is sick? Why did you still have to make her sad?
“Do you want our whole family and Camden to beg you on our knees?”
This happened again. Whenever Shirley felt wronged, my brother and parents would always stand by her side, even if she was in the wrong
At first, Shirley felt wronged, so they asked me to give my room to her.
And then, she took away my family.
Then, they made me give up the extremely rare medical research opportunity and give it to her.
And then, they made me go to jail for her.
In their eyes, it was only natural and right for me to do all things for her.
After all, their good “daughter” was so “fragile” and “kind–hearted“. They wouldn’t bear to let her suffer.
Just like now, Shirley had depression, so they naturally thought that I should give in and give my fiancée to her.
At the thought of these, I chuckled mockingly and said to Paul, “Good idea. If you all beg me on your knees, I will agree to let Shirley take away my fiancée,”
