Chapter 1 Being Abandoned For Four Years
Chapter 1 Being Abandoned For Four Years
The scorching sun evaporated the water on the ground. The entire land was like a steamer, burning
everyone in sight. People yelled out in pain and frustration as they walked across the pavements.
At the back door of the Hilton Hotel was the famous JS Park in H Country. Their colorful pavilions, their
intricate sand plates, and their beautiful carvings imitated the Ancient Greeks. It was one of the most
magnificent parks in H Country.
Impatiently, Vana Gu leaned against the water dispenser. As her thought flashed back to what had
happened at the banquet, she frowned in annoyance.
"As long as Dad and Mom get better, you can come back, sister. If you feel uncomfortable, I- I can go."
Vana Gu sneered. "Oh? Will you leave the Gu Family? Do you have any other relatives to rely on?"
Emily Gu didn't expect that Vana Gu didn't ask her to stay. It seemed that the woman in front of her had
grown out of her gullible phase.
"I don't have any other relatives, but for your sake, I'm willing to leave my hometown and go anywhere,
even to the countryside."
Vana Gu was tempted to tear the woman's face apart. Anger began building up in her chest when the
pictures of that incident happening at the banquet appeared in her mind.
A dirty old man approaching her, his fingers running down her skin, and his putrid scent invading her
nostrils... Just the thought of it made her want to scream.
Vana Gu clenched her fists.
Everything that had happened four years ago was still vivid in her mind. She knew for a fact that all of
these had something to do with Emily Gu, but she didn't know how her adopted sister could calculate
all of these incidents so perfectly that nothing could be traced back to her. If it wasn't for that kidnap,
Vana Gu wouldn't have been thrown abroad. A part of her had doubts, so the moment she returned,
Vana Gu quickly confronted Emily Gu about the incident.
"Nice try, Emily. Do you think I will buy it? Tell me, where did you find the man? With so many women
around that party, why did he only approach me?"
Vana Gu narrowed her eyes. Astonishment was painted all over Emily Gu's face. If Vana Gu didn't
know her any better, she would've thought that Emily had nothing to do with this.
After all, she looked so innocent.
"Sister, how could you say that I was responsible for that? I don't even know where he came from."
"Bullshit." Vana scoffed. "You didn't bring him in then, so you accidentally clicked on the web page
when you showed me a picture using your mobile phone. The web page was about sex slaves, and
now, you've stirred the matter into saying how I've worked as a sex slave for the last four years. Is that
what you want to see, sister? Do you want me to be humiliated so bad that you could take over my
place?"
"What are you talking about?"
Vana just couldn't take it anymore. Without another thought, she raised her hand and slapped Emily on
the face. The sound echoed across the park.
"Vana!"
someone called. Vana blinked back, staring at Emily's reddening cheek. Emily leaned against the stone
pillar, whimpering like a lost puppy.
Billy He got close to the two sisters. He shoved Vana away and held Emily in his arms. "Didn't you
know how she knelt outside Uncle's study for a whole day just so that you could return? She even got
sick for you! And you slapped her to thank her for it?" His eyes flashed in anger.
Vana laughed at his words, snorting. Did he really know what Emily was capable of?
Emily didn't want her to go back to the Gu Family at all. Instead of drawing her away directly, Emily
wanted to act like a damsel in distress who had been hurt by her own sister. This way, everyone would
be able to see how 'crazy' Vana had become.
"Turns on Vana's been a sex slave for four years!" "You remember the naked woman in the glass tank
right?
The one in Africa. They said that it was Vana!" "The robbers sent the Gu Family photos of their
daughter
in rather obscene positions. How despicable!" "It was said that the second daughter was kidnapped by
overseas gangsters.
She'd suffered so much, and now she's mentally unstable. It said that one mistake would send her
crazy! The poor lady!"
"The Gu Family is ultimately disgraceful! Their daughter is just immoral!"
The shocking scandal broke out. Carl Gu and Cathy Xu were so angry that they had to be sent to the
hospital due to their palpitations. Vana wanted to go to the hospital and take care of her parents but
Emily stopped her.
She asked Vana 'kindly' to not show up first till they got better.
Vana turned to Billy only for him to condemn her the minute he saw her. His face was filled with disgust
and hatred.
"Billy, it's not her fault. In fact, it's mine. I was worried that my parents would be emotional if they see Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
her, so I told her that she shouldn't see them for the time being... I–I promise to let her see them once
they get better... I'll even leave my hometown for her! But...she still doesn't want to let it go." Emily
lowered her voice to a whisper. Her hands were trembling. Vana sneered. She'd give her the Golden
Globes Award for being the best actress, that was for sure.
"Emily, don't say that. You've already done so much for her. If someone deserves to leave this place,
it's her."
Vana sneered, finally looking up at him. He was the man who claimed to have known her so well four
years ago. Why didn't he believe her now?
Vana clenched her fists as Billy He held Emily steady. The coldness in his eyes was like a prick to her
heart.
"Vana, considering the kindness you've shown when you saved me from those kidnappers, I know that
what happened to you also has something to do with me. But today you've shown me that you're no
longer who you used to be. The Vana I knew wouldn't act like this. In fact, she would've been...she
wouldn't be like this! You're not my friend...not anymore. I advise that you don't go home for now."
Without giving her a chance to reply, Billy He left with Emily by his side.
What Vana couldn't understand was how Billy He concluded their friendship for seventeen years for
someone who he had only gotten to know for four years! He just told her that she shouldn't come
home...
But if she didn't...then where will she go?
