Chapter 50 Fiona patted my shoulder with a feigned apology , then quickly drew her hand back as if afraid of dirtying herself . " Don't misunderstand , Callista . I'm not targeting you.I just ... couldn't help wanting to share my happiness with you . " She blinked playfully . " " See ? Simon booked the venue , Ethan ordered the flowers , Jason chose the ring design . It hasn't been made yet , but the way he knelt down - wasn't it romantic ? " I lifted my eyes to her . " Her smile grew even sweeter . " Don't be upset . It's simply the truth - my brothers dote on me and Jason loves me . You'd be better off letting go sooner , so things won't get ugly for everyone . " Fiona had expected to see humiliation or sorrow on my face . Yet all she got was a soft " Mm . " / She froze for a second - my composure doused the flicker of excitement in her eyes like cold water on flame . " " You're not angry ? " she pressed , staring hard at me . " Or ... are you just pretending , putting on a show in front of me because you can't bear to let go ? " " My gaze fell on a rotten strawberry on the table and suddenly , I found it almost funny . " Neither . Fiona , I'm leaving . From now on , the brothers and the male lead - they're all yours.I don't want them anymore . " Fiona clearly hadn't expected that answer . After a moment of dazed silence , her lips curved slowly , carrying a sharp , mocking sneer . " I don't believe you . You talk big , but deep down , you're not willing to accept it . Besides- " She tapped her chest lightly . " I've never handed my life over to anyone else.I only believe in one thing - keeping fate in my own hands ! " } The words had barely fallen when she suddenly raised her hand . " A sharp slap rang out - landing squarely on her own cheek . Before I could even react , several sharp , vicious blows landed in rapid succession . Her pale , radiant face quickly became streaked with red welts . I narrowed my eyes . " What are you doing ? " But it was as if she hadn't heard me . She lowered her head , tugging at the strap of her gown until it slipped off her shoulder , exposing a sliver of collarbone . Then , with her fingernails , she raked across her own skin , leaving faint red marks . At the same time , she suddenly lifted her gaze - sending a quick , deliberate wink toward the girls behind her . " One of the girls instantly caught on and rushed forward , pretending to block me . " Don't go near Fiona ! " Another seized Fiona's arm , feigning a struggle , her sharp voice echoing in the room . " Callista , how can you be so vicious ! " A chair clattered to the ground , plates rattled and crashed - chaos carefully staged , filling the air . " They clustered protectively around Fiona , their positions calculated to perfection . " So that when the door swung open from the outside , at just a glance , it looked exactly like they were holding me back from bullying Fiona . [ Fiona let out a piercing scream , sobbing ," Simon ! Ethan ! Jason ... help me- ! " The private room door flew open . Simon , Ethan and Jason all stormed in at once . She threw herself into Jason's arms , weeping like a broken blossom . " Callista said I should give her back my blood . I told her if I did , I'd die and then she said she'd ruin me - she even hit me ... " } Simon's palm struck across my face . My whole body staggered , crashing into the dining table , a ringing filling my ears . " Callista , having a sister like you makes me sick ! " he spat , teeth gritted . " Ethan's gaze was even colder . His hand shot out , seizing my collar . " Callista ! You want to fight for favor , is that it ? Fine . You lot- come hold her down . Strip her . Let's see who gets ruined first !! " N Instinctively , l struggled , but Ethan's strength was overwhelming The sound of fabric tearing ripped through the air , sharp and humiliating . " Jason , film her like this ! Show everyone what kind of monster she is !

" " Let her see how shameless she is ! " Ethan said coldly & Despair and humiliation cut into my bones like a knife , inch by inch Again .
