When she returned to Dracovia, she bought a gift for Sterling and grabbed one for Emma, too. Last time, at Donovan’s birthday party, she gave it to Emma.

Emma was so happy and had been carrying it every single day since then.

Earlier that day, the two had already had a fight because Zane had broken Emma’s teddy bear. That evening’s incident just made everything worse. Emma, already really mad, finally lost her temper and threw a punch.

Zane was outnumbered. Even though Emma was just a distant cousin, she was still part of the Romeros. Compared to the Lancasters, who were going broke, anyone smart would know which side to take.

He was already at a disadvantage, and now, with people siding against Zane, it looked even

worse.

But Claudia didn’t care about his injuries. She turned to the police and said, “They started it and almost caused our cousin to crash. They should take the responsibility. We don’t want to settle.”

The police looked a little uncomfortable at the big shot standing behind her. What Claudia said made sense, so he could only ask Zane again, “Are you really not going to tell us why you tried to block their car?”

Zane pressed his lips together and stayed quiet.

His few friends groaned. Everyone in their circle already knew the Lancasters‘ situation. The people who used to hang out with Zane had already left him.

The few left were just ordinary guys who only hung out with Zane when he had money.

They didn’t even know Emma. Zane had randomly decided to start a fight with her.

Who would have thought he’d pick a fight with someone so powerful?

Now, he wasn’t even trying to explain himself or fight back. He was just taking the blame.

He had some pride, but his friends were in big trouble,

What a nightmare.

Someone tugged at his sleeve. “Hey, you just said that pretty girl is your sister. Why not explain

yourself? Maybe she’ll forgive you?”

But Zane kept quiet, not saying a word.

His friends got frustrated, too. They stormed off to a corner to talk privately, occasionally glancing at him, clearly blaming him for everything.

Zane stood alone in the middle of the room, feeling the judging, mocking, and disgusted stares coming from all sides. He felt like a complete fool.

His ears were ringing, and his mind felt like a tangled mess.

Seeing the girl who used to be his sister now acting so kind and caring toward Emma- checking if she was hurt or scared–made him feel a sharp sting.

He couldn’t say it because the real reason he had a problem with Emma was a jealousy he couldn’t put into words.

Emma and Zane went to the same college and even shared the same general education class.

After leaving Lydia’s hospital room in a daze, he went back to college like a zombie, just going through the motions–sitting in class, leaving class, and eating.

He couldn’t let his mind rest for a single moment, because every time it did, he’d remember the look Claudia gave him years ago–when she had saved him from drowning and got blamed for it.

Just when he felt like he was about to completely lose it, Zane noticed a crowd gathered around Emma in the classroom.

Emma was showing off the gift Claudia had given her, bragging in a really loud and over–the- top way about how beautiful, talented, and amazing her cousin–in–law was.

Most of the students felt jealous, and some even wanted to meet this perfect cousin–in–law she kept talking about.
