Chapter 337 Star
"That's right, her name is Star Price. She's Henry's younger sister, just a year younger than him," Wendy said.
"Isn't Henry the only son of the Price family?" Lillian asked. She had always thought Henry was the Prices' only child. All these years, no one had ever mentioned that Henry had a sister.
Since Star was Henry's sister, where had she been all these years?
"Of course not. Henry has a biological sister, Star. By the way, Star and Jackson are destined by God. They were born on the same day, in the same month, in the same year, and in the same hospital. At that time, the Price family and the Frane family were equally matched, and Susan and Daisy were good friends. They even arranged an engagement for Jackson and Henry back then."
Lillian's nails gradually dug into her palms.
She thought, 'They have been born on the same day of the same month of the same year. It sounds incredibly romantic.'
"Jackson hasn't celebrated his birthday all these years because of Star?" Lillian asked hoarsely.
Jackson never celebrated his birthday. Even his eighteenth birthday was celebrated a day early.
On his actual birthday, the Frane family was always quiet.
Because of this, when Lillian saw Jackson having a candlelight dinner with Wendy on his birthday that year, she thought they were together.
Lillian still remembered that she secretly made a birthday cake for Jackson on his twentieth birthday.
She happily placed candles on the cake and sneaked into Jackson's room at the stroke of midnight.
She wanted to surprise Jackson, but he wasn't happy at all.
He looked cold, as if the cake was poisonous, and told her to take it away immediately, saying, "Don't do such meaningless things next time. I don't like it."
After that, Lillian carefully prepared a birthday gift for Jackson each year and secretly delivered it the day before his birthday, just like everyone else.
In the past, Lillian thought Jackson simply didn't like celebrations or cake.
Now, in retrospect, as the heir of the Frane family, even if he didn't like these things, the occasions wouldn't be lacking.
There must have been a reason for this.
"Of course, it's because of Star. They weren't just engaged, and they even grew up together. From one to twelve years old, they celebrated every birthday together." Wendy smirked and watched Lillian's pale face with satisfaction.
She thought, 'Lillian must be in pain now. I almost can't bear to look.'
"What happened later? Where did Star go?" Lillian bit her lip and continued to ask.
Lillian guessed that because of Star's absence, Jackson hadn't celebrated his birthday since he was twelve.
Wendy sneered. "Star was kidnapped and went missing, so Jackson didn't want to celebrate his birthday alone. Susan missed Star so much that she cried herself blind. After that, the Price family and the Frane family forbade anyone from mentioning Star to avoid causing Susan more pain. But all these years, Jackson and the Prices never gave up looking for her. I heard the person who kidnapped Star appeared in a mercenary organization in Averlake, so Jackson even became a mercenary. You can count the scars on Jackson's body, and you'll know how many times he risked his life for Star! Now that he's found Star, do you think there's still a place for you in the Frane family?"
Lillian was breathless.
She thought, 'No wonder Jackson never talks about his scars to me. That's right. Jackson pursues me just because I am pregnant. Now that Star he has been searching for and waiting for returns, his attempts to keep me are probably just out of responsibility.'
At this moment, Lillian's phone rang on the table.
Lillian looked over and saw "Honey" flashing on the screen.
