Chapter 70

"You have no idea, she's having a tough time with the Langstons."

"She's got six brothers looking out for her, how can she have it bad?"

Orion's voice was muffled, "But there's also a stepsister, the driver's daughter. The Langstons treat that girl really well, while Lemira constantly gets sidelined and neglected."

At first, he too thought Lemira had it pretty good, but now he realized she was just like a lost lamb. It tugged his heartstrings, and made him want to treat her a bit better.

After hearing this, Thaddeus sighed, "I knew it. Saw her brother at the infirmary last time and something felt off. Thought it's just her being rebellious, but turns out there's more to it. Just now, seeing how sweet she was, didn't seem like what the rumors said." Who the hell played favorites like that? Neglecting their own sister over a stepsister.

"That's why I want to make it up to her. If it wasn't for her parents' accident, she wouldn't be living like this."

Orion tilted his head, his eyelids drooping, hiding the fleeting sadness in his eyes.
