My Dead Lover Returned to Marry My Sister Chapter 02
Not long after I woke up, Ivy stormed into my hospital room
with my parents right behind her.
My mother rushed over and slapped me across the face.
“Maren, why did you order someone to destroy your sister’s wedding?!”
My father followed with a furious roar.
“Maren! Do you really want to kill your entire family?”
Ivy collapsed into my father’s arms, crying as if she were the
one who had been wronged.
It’s all because of you.”
Cole was trying to protect me. He was burned beyond
recognition, and he’s still unconscious in the ICU!”
The slap sent me stumbling.
I grabbed the edge of the bed just to keep myself upright.
looked at my parents.
I didn’t even bother denying it anymore,
“There’s something I’ve always wanted to ask.”
“Why have you favored Ivy over me my entire life?”
“The house you’re living in was bought with my money.”
“The money you’ll depend on after retirement came from
every sacrifice I made.”
“I never asked you to love me more than you love her.”
“But was treating us equally really that difficult?”
My mother looked at me.
Her eyes were filled with nothing but disgust.
“Keep your dirty money.”
“What we wanted was your presence.”
Every day, you cross lines that should never be crossed. You
do things that hurt people and betray the code you
have lived by.”
should
“Whenever Ivy and I spent your money, we felt guilty.”
But Ivy stayed by our side. She took care of us. She was the daughter we wanted.”
My father stared at me coldly.
“If we don’t favor her, who are we supposed to favor?”
“You?”
“A murderer?”
I let out a cold laugh.
My eves swept over them with ridicule.
The antique Rolex watch on my father’s wrist was the one I had just given him.
The million–dollar Cartier diamond bracelet on my mother’s wrist was also from me.
And the Hermès bag hanging from Ivy’s arm was something
most people couldn’t buy even if they had the money.
Not a single one of them looked like they weren’t living off my wealth.
“You came to me for money just yesterday, didn’t you?”
You said your luxury villa wasn’t big enough and wanted me
to buy you a private estate so you could live comfortably after retirement.”
*If my money is so dirty…”
Then you won’t get another cent from me.”
My parents‘ faces changed immediately.
They wanted to hold on to their pride.
But they couldn’t bear losing the money they had relied on for years.
So they could only stand there, frozen, staring at me.
Seeing that, Ivy quickly stepped forward.
“You’re threatening them!”
“Mom, Dad, don’t be afraid.”
“Even without Maren, you still have me.”
“I’ll make sure Luca takes care of you.”
With Ivy’s promise, my parents quickly regained their arrogant expressions.
Then they threw a document onto my hospital bed.
[Sullivan Family Severance Agreement]
My mother lifted her chin.
Sign it.”
From now on, whether you live or die, you’re no longer part
of the Sullivan Family.”
I bent down and picked up the document.
I brushed away the dust on it.
Then I signed my name without hesitation.
My parents looked satisfied.
They turned around and prepared to leave.
My voice stopped them.
“Luca was reported missing five years ago.”
“The entire world already believed his private plane crashed and that he died.”
“Right now, I’m still the Boss of the Romano Family.”
“So tell me…”
“How exactly does a man who has been dead for five years plan to support you?”
