Chapter 11 I held a finger to my lips , signaling for them to be quiet . [ ] " Hello ? Grandma , what's wrong ? " ] " Oh , Aurora , you silly girl . You didn't tell me your sister was coming over ! I haven't prepared a thing . " That one sentence made my vision swim . It took several deep breaths before I could find my voice . [ ] " Grandma , did you let her in ? " ] " Why , yes . Huh ? She said you knew she was coming . You didn't ? " ] Before I could reply , I heard a rustling sound on the other end of the line . [ ] Then , Stella's sickly sweet voice came through . [ ] " Aurora , Grandma and I are waiting for you at home . Make sure you come alone , and hurry , hehe . " Something was wrong . She was in a bad state , and she couldn't hide the excitement in her tone of voice , it came through as insanity . [ ] " Okay ! I'll come back alone , right now ! Stella , you'll take good care of Grandma , won't you ? You won't let her get hurt ? " [ ] I forced myself to stay calm , my voice a soothing coax . [ ] After a few seconds of silence , she finally replied . [ ] " Of course . As long as you come , Aurora , Grandma will be perfectly safe . " [ ] The line went dead . I immediately broke into a run toward my car . [ ] The two men I shoved past stared after me , their faces masks of confusion . [ ] " Aurora , where are you going ? Don't go ! " ] Frantic and furious , I slapped Felix across the face as he tried to grab me . [ ] " Get off me ! Felix , answer me ! Did you bring your sister with you ? What the hell are you people trying to do ? " ] " My sister ? Oh , you mean Stella ? " ] ] The moment he said her name , Gideon , who had been silent , suddenly burst out , " That's impossible ! She's supposed to be- " ] " Gideon ! " Felix cut him off, which only deepened my suspicion . [ ] I glared at Felix . " Your sister is at Grandma Miller's ! I'm telling you , Felix , if anything happens to Grandma , I swear to God I'll take that psycho down with me ! " [ ] My voice was iron , and finally , they told me the truth . [ ] They confirmed that Stella absolutely should not be here . Felix had sent her abroad two weeks ago . [ ] After I left , she must have thought that with me out of the picture , she and Gideon could finally live happily ever after . [ ] For the first time , she laid her ambitions bare , telling Gideon with a heart full of deluded joy . [ ] " Now that Aurora's gone , you still have me . I love you more than she ever did . Stop loving her . Love me . Marry me ! " Gideon had looked at her like she was a ghost . [ ] Even Felix , who had always doted on her , was stunned . ] Mrs. Bernard , who had come to the Durand house to reschedule the wedding , had sneered , giving Stella a sideways glance before speaking slowly to Felix [ ] My Sister Cut My Food Money to $ 300 Wlule Spending $ 30K on Bags ?! Time to Make Her INTERNET FAMOUS ! 12.7 Chapter 11 " So the cuckoo in the nest has finally pushed the real fledgling out to its death . How delightful . " [ ] That single sentence made the color drain from all three of their faces. [ ] Then Mrs. Bernard had suddenly burst into tears , pointing a trembling finger at Gideon , her voice thick with disappointment . [ ] " You blind , blind fool ! Your father and I have been sharp our whole lives , how did we raise such an idiot ! " [] " How many times did we try to warn you ? But you never listened ! You just thought we were trying to control you ! I never should have convinced Aurora to marry you . You don't deserve her ! " ] Mrs. Bernard had stormed out of the house in tears . [ ] She left behind Felix and Gideon , who looked as if they had just woken from a long , terrible dream . ] And Stella , who was sobbing that Mrs. Bernard looked down on her , that she despised her for being an adopted daughter . But this time , Felix hadn't gently wiped the tears from her face . Instead , with lightning speed , he had contacted a school abroad and put her on a plane out of the country . ] ]
