Chapter 3 Greg looked nervous , gripping my wrist tightly without realizing it . Everly , dont overthink it . On my way to the company , I spotted Ayleen with a sprained ankle . Shes your sister , so I had to carry her back and make sure your parents could look after her . It was ironic . I hadnt even said a word , yet he was already telling me not to overthink it . I yanked my wrist free , wincing from the pain of his grip , and replied calmly , You dont need to explain . I understand . Anyway , I couldnt count on his love and loyalty anymore . Greg hesitated , on the verge of explaining further , but my mother cut in , Everly , quit playing the victim in front of Greg its nauseating ! Ayla is your sister , so what if Greg helped her back after she sprained her ankle ? If youre too heartless to care for Ayla , do you expect no one else to show a shred of decency ? I hung my head , overwhelmed by a sense of injustice , and despite it all , I actually chuckled . Greg appeared as if he wanted to say something , but after glancing between me and my mother , he remained silent . The only one who could stand up for me was myself . I locked eyes with my mother and declared , Since youve never treated me like your daughter , why should I consider Ayleen my sister ? My mother looked taken aback by my retort , her fingers trembling as she pointed at me . She stuttered for what felt like an eternity before finally lashing out by hurling a fruit box in my direction . The toothpicks embedded in the fruit slashed my face , and the warm liquid trickled down my cheek . I touched it . It was blood . I opened my eyes to see Greg stepping in front of Ayleen . It was because the lightweight plastic fruit box had nearly struck her . Everyone first checked if Ayleen was hurt . They only took notice of my bleeding face once they had assured themselves that she was fine . Greg was about to check my wound , but Ayleen began to sob uncontrollably . Its okay , Im just scared , Ayleen murmured , casting a pitiful glance . Everly is bleeding . You should go tend to her . Dont worry about me . With that casual remark , all attention shifted away from my wound . Chapter 3 1/4 Everyone rallied to comfort the weeping Ayleen . My father , distressed by her tears , turned his frustration on me . Everly , you didnt massage Ayla properly and ended up scaring her into tears ! Ill give you a beating to teach you a lesson ! After uttering those words , my father hurled a coffee pot in my direction . I was hit , and my head started bleeding . The blood mixed with hot coffee flowed down my forehead , covering my face . I could imagine how messy I looked . Greg seemed unable to bear it and helped me up . Olson , Everly understands shes in the wrong . Ill make sure she apologizes to Ayleen . Lets just let this go . I sneered under my messy hair . Apologize to Ayleen ? What did I do wrong ? Or was my existence a mistake ? My father dismissed it , saying , Apologize ? Thats not enough ! She needs a good beating to set her straight ! Greg , this is my family affair mind your own business and dont interfere ! Confronted with my fathers menacing demeanor , Greg maintained his composure , exuding the authority he wielded within his company . As Everlys fiancé , I have to protect her ! Mr. Olson , I cannot stand by and watch you hit her . After saying that , Greg gently brushed the hair dampened by sweat from my face . Everly , Ill take you home . Witnessing my fathers rage , my mother quickly intervened . Greg , Ayleen really misses Everly . I asked her to come back , but she threw such a fit . We cant just let her leave like this . Look , she doesnt even need to apologize . If she just licks up the coffee she spilled on the floor , Ill let it go . Greg frowned , on the verge of refusing on my behalf because it was clear my mother was trying to humiliate me , but Ayleen interjected . Greg , this coffee spill has made the room all damp , and my ankle is hurting even more now . Gregs words , meant to defend me , remained unspoken . He looked at me , hesitating . Chapter 3 2/4 Everly , Ayleen has a sprained ankle , maybe you … He didnt finish , but his gaze showed his stance . Title: A Princess? No! I'm the Female General! In "A Princess? No!
