Chapter 6
When I woke again, my body was covered in bandages. Even a slight movement made the wounds ache, bringing tears to my eyes. Tyler, for once, sat by my bedside, holding me down. “Don’t move. You just had surgery, you need to be careful during recovery.”
I gave a faint smile and said flatly. “And then?”
“I already know what happened. Clara has been asleep for three years and is finding it hard to adjust to her new life. Some extreme behavior is normal.”
I looked at Tyler in disbelief. “What did you say?! Tyler, say that again if you dare!!
A rare look of guilt crossed Tyler’s face. “Clara saw a doctor a couple of days ago. Because she was dormant for so long, she’s unable to adapt to society since waking up and has developed depression. When she has an episode, she can’t control herself. She’s your sister; you should be able to understand, right?”
My nose stung and tears almost fell. “She has depression, you said? Do you actually believe that lie?”
Tyler’s expression tumed cold. “Clarine, fve deleted all the photos! That’s enough!”
I grabbed the apple on the bedside table and threw it at Tyler. “Get out! I don’t want to see you! Just get out!
Tyler walked to the door, then paused as if remembering something. “There’s an auction tomorrow. You’ll come with me. Anything you like there, I’ll buy for you as compensation for this incident.
Before I could answer, Tyler tumed and left without another word &
The next day, I had no intention of attending any auction.
But as soon as the time came, a group of maids filed in, practically forcing me into an extravagant yet revealing gown.
When I arrived at the auction, Clara was the only person I saw
She was wearing a black long–sleeved gown, greeting people around her.
“Why are you alone? Where’s Tyler?”
“He has some things to take care of and will be a bit late, but I’ll take good care of you,
u, my sister,”
Clara turned around, her face twisted into a vicious smile. “Clarine, haven’t these past few days been difficult for you? How does it feel watching Tyler dote on me?”
She leaned close to my ear and said smugly, “He abandoned you in the hospital again and again, all to be with me. Even after all that, are you still not giving up. Sis?”
This person before me was my most familiar sister.
She was selfish, hypocritical and malicious. Even after three years of slumber, she hadn’t changed an ounce.
“But it doesn’t matter, all of this will be over soon.
The auction began before I could figure out the meaning behind her words.
The entire venue erupted in excitement as soon as the host stepped onto the stage.
It was only then that I noticed, apart from Clara, that every single attendee was male. A sense of dread crept over me.
The auction screen lit up, displaying the intimate photos Clara had forced me to take not long ago.
All 100 photos were there, completely uncensored
“Our special item for auction today is a maiden’s first night, starting bid one million!‘
My blood ran cold. I immediately stood up, wanting to leave, but Clara grabbed my hand tightly.
“Clanine, you’re the item being auctioned today. How can you leave?“!
Before I could react, she pulled out a syringe and injected me with anesthesia.
Instantly, my body went limp and I could only slump in my seat, forced to watch the absurd scene unfold. Soon, someone used a blank check bid.
I recognized the man in his sixties, a wealthy businessman fr
