Chapter 522 Vile
Fiona also got off the hospital bed where she had been pretending to be a corpse, furious, and rushed over to give Scarlett a hard slap.
She vented heavily, "You wicked woman! I respected and adored you for so many years, treating you like my future sister-in-law, and yet you said I had no taste and called me stupid! You bought those ugly bags and shoes that were rejects just to fool me!
"You even gossiped about my background, saying such nasty things! Truly, you can never know someone's true colors. My sincerity is wasted on you! No wonder Alex didn't like you; you're not even worth a strand of Katherine's hair! Trash! Ugh!"
Scarlett's face was swollen from the slap, and she looked at Fiona in shock and embarrassment, still trying to argue, "Fiona, don't misunderstand... I was just saying that to Katherine. It wasn't intentional... I've always treated you well over the years, buying you expensive things whenever I saw them, you know that..."
Fiona, still not satisfied, raised her hand and slapped her repeatedly! "Ugh! Don't disgust me anymore! If I hadn't heard it with my ears, I might not have believed that you could have said that! I heard everything; how can you even deny that? Truly shameless to the extreme!"
Fiona cursed while putting her hands on her hips, as the two slaps she just gave were so forceful that she seemed to have strained her wrists...
All because of this deceiver Scarlett!
Luckily, Katherine was smart enough to deduce Scarlett's every move, allowing them to prepare in the morgue in advance...
At first, she didn't want to cooperate with Katherine! She thought the Scarlett she knew couldn't be a bad person!
Now she saw it clearly: Scarlett was not just hypocritical or malicious, but a scheming and vicious woman who almost fooled everyone!
Scarlett, who had fallen to the ground, had her hair messed up by Fiona. She covered her face, putting on her best innocent and aggrieved act, looking up in a sorry state, still trying to explain, "Fiona... it's really not what you think..."
However, the person standing in front of her was no longer Fiona but her younger brother, Sunny!
Sunny was here too?
Seeing Sunny, Scarlett felt like she had seen a real family member, thinking someone was there to support and protect her. So she grabbed her brother's arm. "Sunny, you're here! Help me up..."
Sunny didn't react to her as he used to, worrying about her condition and caring for her. He stood there stiffly, letting Scarlett pull at him without bending down to help. He looked down at her with a disappointed and hurt expression. He used to admireScarlett who used to seem perfect, kind, and angelic in his eyes.
After a long while, he forcefully shook off Scarlett's hand and roared, "Don't touch me! You wicked woman! You're not my sister! I don't have a lying, vicious, shameless sister like you!"
Scarlett had just regained a bit of security, only to be thrown to the ground by Sunny again, this time falling even harder...
Sunny's shove almost made her fall flat on the ground.
Earlier, Sophie and Fiona hit her, and no matter how strong the two girls were, they couldn't compare to a man!
After a while, Scarlett managed to get up again, trying to hug her brother's leg and explaining, "Sunny, how can you treat me like this? I've loved you so much since you were little. How can you treat me like a stranger?"
Sunny seemed extremely disgusted by her touch, prying her hands off and forcefully shaking her off again!
"Didn't you just call me an ungrateful wretch? Well, let me tell you, I, Sunny, am an ungrateful wretch! I'd rather be an ungrateful idiot than acknowledge a malicious sister like you! Get lost!" After saying that, Sunny turned, wiping his tears with his arm as he ran...
What happened today was too much of a blow for him. His faith in humanity almost crumbled!
Sunny couldn't imagine that his sister was the kind of person he hated and despised the most!
If Katherine hadn't texted him to come to the hospital to see Scarlett's true colors, he would never have believed it until he saw it with his own eyes; it was too painful to experience.
He regretted all the excessive things he had done to Katherine in the past to help Scarlett win over a man! He regretted it to death!
After Sunny ran out, the already disheveled Scarlett tried to get up and chase after him, wanting to explain to Sunny properly. She had already lost the trust of her Grandparents, Bernard and Edwin; she couldn't lose Sunny's trust, as well.
After all, in her and Alice's plan, Sunny was supposed to inherit all the Mitchell family assets in the future, and she was counting on him to live luxuriously for the rest of her life...
However, perhaps because she was too overwhelmed, she couldn't get up at all, and she felt completely limp...
As she crawled, a familiar pair of shoes blocked her way. Scarlett struggled to look up, her disheveled hair almost covering most of her face, making her look like a ghost from hell...
She saw clearly that the pair of shoes in front of her belonged to her brother, Bernard.
"Bernard..." Scarlett almost cried out, "Bernard, help me up. I feel weak all over, and I can't get up."
Bernard looked down at her coldly, his eyes devoid of emotion. "What did you call me?" he asked indifferently.
Scarlett, with tears streaming down her face, reached out, hoping Bernard would gently help her up and comfort her like he used to, "Bernard! It's me, Scarlett!"
Bernard sneered, "Scarlett?"
She responded excitedly, "Yes! It's me! I'm your sister, Scarlett, the Scarlett you love the most! Bernard, I can't get up. Can you help me, please?"
"I know who you are," Bernard said.
Scarlett smiled, relieved, "Bernard, it's good you recognize me, help me up quickly, I feel so uncomfortable, I think I've been poisoned, I feel weak all over..."
Bernard looked at her coldly, not moving an inch, "Sorry, miss. Don't call me Bernard. Since you know I took you as my sister's replacement, I won't pretend with you anymore."
Scarlett was completely stunned and panicked, "Bernard, no... it's not what you think. What I said wasn't true; it was just said to provoke Katherine. Please don't believe it!"
"You are truly disappointing! Although I treated you well because you reminded me of Laura, it wasn't without any feelings for you! And how dare you think I'm hypocritical?" Bernard said.
"Bernard..." Scarlett tried to call out to him.
"You're even worse than I thought!" Bernard said coldly.
