"Brother, whatâs the matter?" She seemed unfazed by James Carter hanging up on her.
"Did you see the WhatsApp messages I sent you just now?" James Carter asked.
"Not yet, I just woke up and answered a call, havenât had a chance to check the messages on WhatsApp." Jillian Carter replied, "What did you send me? Is it about Sister Mandy Forest?"
When mentioning Mandy Forest, James Carterâs expression turned slightly cold.
"No." James Carter said bluntly, "This morning, we caught a paparazzi in the hotel corridor, was it hired by you?"
"No!" Jillian Carter denied outright.
But it was this instinctive denial that made James Carter realize that she was lying.
No matter what, Jillian Carter was his sister growing up with him, so whether Jillian was lying or not, James Carter could feel it.
"Brother, it really wasnât me who hired the paparazzi to stake out your place." Jillian Carter explained anxiously upon hearing the silence on the phone, "It really wasnât me, Iâm not that bored."
"Jillian, I watched you grow up, whether youâre lying, I know, Iâve always known." James Carterâs tone was full of disappointment, "I knew it was you, yet you donât even have the courage to admit it now."
James Carterâs voice gradually turned cold, "For over half a year, youâve done many disappointing things, but Iâve never given up on loving you as my sister, never given up on saving you, helping you, Jillian, why do you keep doing things that are disappointing and chilling?"
James Carter sneered, "Youâre fully aware of the relationship between Jane Sampson and our family, and also know that my relationship with Jane cannot be publicized now, so you use this time to deal with Jane Sampson using such despicable means? Where is your moral ethics? Where is your sense of shame?"
This is more than disappointment, itâs the unbearable humiliation from being disgraced by a close family member.
He and Jane Sampson are real siblings, yet this very relationship has been tainted with a shameful label by the sister he lovingly raised.
"Jillian, did you think of me when doing these things? Did you think of daddy and mommy?" What chilled James Carter was this, "Jillian, do you even know how to write the word âchillâ?"
Itâs the first time James Carter spoke so heavily to Jillian Carter.
Jillian Carter became completely flustered.
Yesterday, when James Carter hung up on her because of Mandy Forest, she was only angry.
But now, she is panicked.
Because a voice inside told her that if she didnât clarify things, she would forever lose this brother, just like in the past when she did wrong and lost her grandparentsâ love, forever lose this brother.
Perhaps, sheâd also lose daddy and mommyâs trust and love.
"Brother~ listen to me~" Jillian Carterâs voice carried a sob, "You really misunderstood me, even if I want to deal with Jane Sampson, I wouldnât do anything to hurt you, and besides, I said before, I know I was wrong, I long stopped harming her."
"Do you really know you were wrong?" James Carter laughed sarcastically.
"Brother, the paparazzi was really not hired by me, you have to believe me~" Jillian Carter almost cried out the sentence.
"Even now youâre still lying, Jillian Carter, which words from your mouth are actually true?" James Carter asked coldly, "Donât treat everyone like fools."
Upon hearing this, Jillian Carterâs heart tightened.
She knew, she couldnât cover this up anymore.
