No More Lucky Star novel Chapter 4

Sandy really did have a heart of gold. Not only did she save me, but she also had her personal assistant take me back to the Bakers.

When we arrived, I could hear laughter and joy from outside the house. My parents and all three brothers had decorated the whole place, happily celebrating Jade's eighteenth birthday.

"Don't worry, Jade. We've already arranged for you to go to school overseas. It'll be tough to study abroad, but when you come back, your three brothers will still take care of you. These shares are your birthday present. We'll always have your back," Graham said.

Everyone was gathered around Jade with so much love, completely forgetting that I had been thrown out of the house just a day ago.

When I walked in, all their smiles froze.

The personal assistant holding me simply announced, "My lady, Mrs. Sandy Shaw, would like to know how the Baker family raises their children. What kind of family dumps a five-year-old out in an alley in the middle of the night?"

Graham's smile stiffened as he reached out to take me back. "It's nothing. Kids get into trouble sometimes. Thank you for bringing her home."

I dodged behind the assistant, sobbing.

The personal assistant's face turned even colder. "Looks like we'll have to reconsider our partnership with the Bakers."

Graham's hand hung awkwardly in the air. He turned and snapped at my brothers, "How did you take care of your sister? How could you lose her and not even know?"

Jade spoke up, her gaze sharp. "It wasn't their fault. They were keeping me company, so they didn't notice Mindy ran off. If you want to punish someone, punish me. Please don't make things difficult for my dad… It was all my fault."

With that, she ran out crying.
