She Is A CEO

Chapter 1133 Sisters Estranged

Eve couldn't help but notice the look in Nia's eyes. She held Lauren's hand and said, "Nia, I've made up my mind. I want to give it a try no matter what, and I hope you can support me."

Nia stole a glance at Lauren before immediately changing her expression to one of concern. "Since you've made up your mind, of course I'll support you. But how long will this treatment take?" "I don't know yet," Eve replied while staring into Nia's eyes. "It could be as short as a few months or as long as a year. There's no telling." After she finished speaking, she saw the calculating look in her sister's eyes.

Sure enough, Nia confirmed Eve's suspicions with her next words.

"Mr. Osade," Nia suddenly turned to him and said urgently, "I'm going to leave Eve in your care now. Please take good care of her and let me know immediately if there are any risks during the treatment process. Also... I know you have your own difficulties right now and can't do anything to Casper for the time being since Fabulous Dav's just entered the market not too long ago and its situation is still unstable. Plus you'll be leaving for so long with Eve... I think..."

"What do you think?" Lauren interrupted coldly.

Nia found it difficult to continue after being cut off by Lauren like that, so instead she turned back towards Eve looking helpless, "Eve, don't forget that Casper has always wanted to harm me! If you leave without any protection, he might come after me!"

"Nia," replied Eve calmly, "you hired many bodyguards already, didn't you? As long as you're careful enough, then I believe Casper won't have an opportunity to do anything against you especially since even though Lauren is gone, his deterrent power still exists."

Nia frowned instantly when she heard this unexpected reply from her sister. Wasn't she supposed to worry about her first? Shouldn't she help plead with Lauren for solutions? However, regardless of everything else happening around them right now, she had one last chance. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able bring it up again once they left here.

"Mr. Osade," gathering all courage together, Nia faced his icy gaze head on while making what seemed like an extremely humble request, "If Fabulous Dav's isn't strong enough, Casper dares act against me. I'm willing to let you take Eve with you to USA... Can you increase investment into Fabulous Dav's so that it can grow quickly? That way Casper won't dare make any rash moves."

Eve felt her heart turn to ice as she watched her sister's greedy side exposed without any shame. Even if Eve wanted to give her one last chance, there was nothing she could do. Her sister had truly gone off the rails.

Despite Nia obstructing Eve from receiving treatment in order to keep Lauren, Eve still wanted to give her sister one more chance. If Nia were to support her decision to receive treatment after hearing it, then that would mean she still hoped for Eve's recovery. But now all Nia could think about was how to use Lauren for the last time!

This time, Eve wouldn't back down.

She also had to protect the person she loved!Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Let?" She snorted lightly and a cold indifference appeared in her eyes towards Nia that had never been seen before. "Nia, I'm an adult now. Going to USA for treatment is my own choice and not restricted by anyone else, even you. Where does this 'let' come from?"

"Eve?" Faced with such a strange expression from Eve and such sharp rebuttal, Nia couldn't react for a moment. "You're right!" Even Lauren wanted to applaud, "Eve can decide on her own. How can you say you let it happen?"

"... Eve, what are you talking about," said Nia hesitantly as muscles twitched uncontrollably on her face.

"Nia, over these past few months you've used me countless times through Lauren's help - even bringing up murder - and I agreed because of our sisterhood bond. But now that you've received support from Lauren and your company has already been established, why do you have to use me going USA again? Why must he be squeezed out of me?" There was no more politeness left in Eve as she accused Nia directly.

"Eve!" Having her dirty laundry aired out directly in front of Lauren made Nia angry enough to shout out, "Do you know what you're saying?!" She didn't dare look at Lauren anymore.

"I know exactly what I'm saying but Nia... do you know what you're doing?" Although every word spoken by Eve sounded strong, they were filled with disappointment and exhaustion.

"Sometimes I wonder if you really care about me or if you're using my illness just so that Lauren will help you out? Don't tell me that deep down inside yourself, you don't want my illness cured?! Do you know how much I wish for your support?!"

Even Lucia and Arthur treated her better than her real sister did!

After listening carefully until the end of Eve's words, Nia's gaze darkened instantly like a poisonous snake staring at its prey,

"Eve, don't forget all those times when we were young, I gave blood transfusions so many times just so save your life. Do you have any conscience left when speaking like this?!"

Eve blinked, but then she looked firmly at Nia and said, "Nia, I know how much you've sacrificed for me and I've always been grateful. I also feel guilty because my illness has had such a deep impact on you and even our parents. Because of me, they had to reduce their attention to you, which caused you to leave home early and struggle on your own. To be honest, the reason why I came to Athegate this time is because the doctor gave our parents the final notice before I left. And if we can't find another treatment option soon, I'll only have a few months left to live. So here I am now trying to make up for what little time we have left together even if it's just a little bit..."

At this point, Eve turned her head towards Lauren; she really believed that Lauren was the brightest light in her life.

"I'm grateful that meeting Lauren has allowed me to regain your attention again but this sense of guilt cannot become an excuse for you using Lauren as a tool!"

After hearing Eve's words, Nia's face drained of all color; it was terrifyingly pale! How dared Eve talk back like this! And in front of Lauren!

Anger mixed with shame overtook Nia as she began yelling, "Eve! You owe me everything! It's all because of our parents' neglect towards me since your birth that led them focusing all their attention on you instead. Not only did they not give me enough love and care but also because my blood type matches yours as your older sister so I kept giving blood transfusions whenever needed! What do you owe me? If it wasn't for you, then maybe things wouldn't have turned out like this today, so everything you do for me is simply what should be done!"
