Mergan fell in his memory.
Maybe it was her sincerity that moved the heavens. The doctors had already told the family to prepare for the
worst, but after she cback with the Cross Necklace, | miraculously woke up and eventually recovered.
| really did care about Lily like a little sister.
But as | got older, as feelings got more complicated, | started to feel something different.
| was ashamed of having romantic feelings for someone | called my foster sister. And after everything she
supposedly did to our long-lost biological sister, | couldn't forgive her.
What | really couldn't accept was the fact that when | told her to get out-she really left. She never cback.
Not once in over four years.
“I didn’t bully Lily...”
Mathilda sobbed for a while before choking out the words, “I admit the video is real. | stepped on Lily's face.
But I did it because Lily did so many awful things to me. Bodger, Taylor, Mergan... do you remember when
head? | fell down the stairs at school and hit my

.. but it wasn’t. Lily pushed me.
“What?”
The three brothers all shouted at once.
“Mathilda, what did you say?”
“Lily pushed you down the stairs?”
“Yes.”
Tears welled up again as Mathilda nodded hard.
Of course, it was a lie.

But that didn’t stopfrom trying to twist the truth into something that would work in my favor.
She sniffled tically, then went on, “I was afraid you'd blher. That's why | kept it to myself. But a few of
my friends saw what happened. They were furious for me. After | got out of the hospital, they tookto
confront Lily. They said she went way too far, that | should stand up for myself. | didn’t dare lay a hand on her.
But Quincy and the others toldif | didn’t fight back, they'd tell you everything. | didn’t want you to be mad at

On her luxurious vanity sat an eyebrow razor.
She grabbed it in a flash and slashed at her own wrist.
“Mathilda!”
The brothers’ expressions shifted in an instant.
Bodger lunged forward and ripped the razor from her hand.
Thankfully, he was fast enough that she only managed to cut the skin a little.
Still, when they saw the tiny beads of blood on her wrist, their hearts clenched with pain.
They all softened immediately.
“Mathilda, please don’t hurt yourself.”
“This is my fault,” Bodger said, voice heavy. “I should've believed you. Of course you wouldn't hurt someone for
no reason. If you lashed out at Lily, there had to be a reason.”
“I was wrong too,” Taylor added. “I'll never raise my voice at you again.”
“My tone earlier was too harsh,” Mergan said. “I'm sorry. Forget about what the inteis saying. No matter how
people try to smear your name, you'll always be my number one.”
“Mergan...”
Mathilda collapsed into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
The more broken she looked, the guiltier they felt.
They all promised her they'd take care of everything online and never let her be hurt again.
They didn’t care about Lily-that heartless thief. All they cared about was Mathilda.
Their voices were warm, comforting, and full of affection.
But Mathilda couldn't fully trust them anymore.
If they really didn’t care about Lily, then why did Bodger still keep those silly birthday gifts Lily gave him?
If they didn't care, why hadn't Taylor

They absolutely cared.
