Yes, it wasn’t Natasha but Noel.

“Why?” Noel asked back in disbelief, as if he was struck.

“Because you’re stupid.” Olivia maliciously poured out her hidden thoughts.

In this family, Andrew, Madeline, and even Thomas showed favoritism toward her, each for their own reasons.

Only Noel, genuinely and foolishly, allowed himself to be led by the nose.

Stupidity was evil, and ignorance was evil.

Among the three children, Noel was unlike Thomas, who bore the family’s responsibilities and, despite his power, was held to strict expectations. He was also unlike Olivia, who humbled herself and schemes relentlessly to secure her position. Moreover, he was not as smart and resilient as Natasha, who unluckily bore the burden of her parents‘ transgressions since childhood.

His innocence and recklessness were enviable.

Olivia longed to attach herself to Thomas. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could not undermine his position as an heir.

Her feelings toward Natasha were more complex.

Natasha was once the one to actively embrace her and offer her candy. But Natasha’s goodness only highlighted Olivia’s inadequacy. Moreover, with her mother having sacrificed her life to pave the way for her, she twistedly believed that only by making Natasha endure Olivia’s original painful fate could her happiness be preserved.

She disliked Natasha’s resilience, yet secretly envied her vibrant vitality and ever- passionate emotions.

Only Noel, simply by being a boy, effortlessly possessed everything she and Natasha could not attain.

Noel was willful, childish, impulsive, and irresponsible, yet his parents loved him

without reservation.

She sometimes wondered if Natasha didn’t exist in the world, and her mother had chosen Noel back then, would she have obtained all this so easily?

The answer was no.

Andrew and Madeline outwardly doted on their daughter, but it was more like loving a cat or a dog, ready to abandon her at any time for their selfish reasons if

necessary.

But for their son, they wholeheartedly supported him.

Olivia immediately recognized Noel’s gullibility.

As expected, just a few soft words and a little comfort would instantly inflate his hollow heart, and his feelings for his sister would shift day by day.

After all, though he seemed innocent on the surface, his subconscious was self- serving.

When his parents and brother treated his new sister better, he instinctively followed in their footsteps.

Olivia wouldn’t discipline him or correct his bad habits, so he felt she treated him

better.

In fact, before that, compared to his busy and indifferent Thomas, Natasha, who was pampered by everyone before she turned six, actually behaved more properly.

Noel possessed childlike cruelty.

Every time Olivia used him to hurt Natasha. She felt both gratification and disgust.

Noel, the idiot, however, lived a better life than any of them.

She even felt fortunate that Noel was not her biological younger brother. Otherwise, if he were to harm a family member for an outsider, she would have killed him.

Chapter 164

Noel was completely bewildered by Olivia’s scolding.

He did not know that Olivia, his usually gentle and kind sister, harbored so much dissatisfaction and resentment toward him.

He wanted to defend himself, but found he had nothing to say.

Suddenly, many scenes replayed in his mind, giving him a splitting headache.

Memories of many moments suddenly replayed, giving him a splitting headache: there were instances from his childhood when Natasha helped him after he fell, but he threw a toy at her, and he self–righteously defended his cousin who cried at night because of his aunt, calling Natasha a ‘jinx‘; there were times during Natasha’s teenage years when she was keeping vigil for their grandmother, but he, because she had hit Olivia, caught a snake that night to scare her; and there was the year she left the Clark family, when he called her pretentious and manipulative, saying he would never acknowledge her as his sister again.

Noel clutched his head, tears and pain intertwining.

Was he, it turned out, such a despicable person?

He was Natasha’s biological younger brother, yet also one of the people who hurt her the most.

Emilia was not harmed by Natasha in the first place. Even if she were, Natasha had never wronged Noel in the slightest.

How could he so naturally take her enemy’s side?

Olivia’s harsh words and cold remarks suddenly shattered an illusion maintained. for over a decade, making Noel feel as if her world was collapsing.

Olivia, however, still felt no satisfaction. “What? Do you want to claim I deceived. and misled you? I didn’t hold a knife to your throat and make you say those hurtful things or take those aggressive actions. Noel, you’re always better at shifting blame than anyone else.”

Something came to her mind, and she suddenly smiled. “Do you know who saved you from the sea when you were 14?”

Noel’s pupils constricted sharply, and his fists clenched. “You didn’t save me?”

That summer, his family of six went on a trip to the beach when he was 14.

His parents and Thomas had to leave for a while. On the shore, only he, Olivia, and Natasha remained, spread out in different locations.

Playfully, he jumped into the sea to swim, but suddenly got a leg cramp.

As he was drifting in and out of consciousness, nearing oblivion, a pair of slender arms grabbed him, desperately pulling him back to shore.

When he woke up, he saw Olivia and Natasha, both wet, at the same time.

His long–standing prejudice made him immediately believe Olivia was his savior, and Olivia didn’t object.

Natasha had explained, but he wouldn’t listen.
