"Me?" The woman smiled warmly, with deep dimples on her cheeks, "I am you, Mrs. Carter."
Emily gasped, but then heard her say calmly, "From today on, I will become my brothers wife and take your place."
"No! Who are you!" Emily felt cold sweat seeping from every pore, and under a strong sense of unease, she grasped Jack Carters hand again, "Honey, shes not telling the truth, are you bewitched!"
They have been married for a year, and they have always been respectful to each other, how could this happen suddenly!
"Yanran, now that it has come to this, I dont have to hide it from you anymore." Jack Carters eyes were filled with some helplessness, patted her hand twice, but held the hand of the woman behind him, "Molly is our adopted sister, the one I always wanted to marry."
Molly leaned on his shoulder and walked around to his side, sitting on his lap, caressing his face, smiling like a flower, "I was adopted by the Carter family when I was 7 years old, but my parents didnt agree with my brothers marriage, and you happened to show up."
Seeing their intimate actions, Emily was shocked, astonished, and unwilling, "But I am the one who married Carter!"
"You are now disfigured." Jack Carters tone was a bit colder, looking at her gauze-covered face, he said in a deep voice, "Two years ago, I staged a car accident, and my parents thought Molly had passed away. I married you, in their eyes, just because I loved the house and the crow."
"So... you want to replace me with this woman!" Emily stared at them blankly, this shocking change caught her off guard.
"Bingo!" Molly snapped her fingers and smiled sweetly and harmlessly, "You are quite smart, but I have to correct one thing, its not that Im replacing you, but you have always taken my place!"
She...
Was a substitute...
"No, its not like that!" Emily couldnt believe it, her hands went through her hair, and her head became more and more painful, "It must be a dream! It must be!"
With that, she pulled the quilt over her head, forcing herself to close her eyes, "Im dreaming, its all an illusion, it will be better when I wake up..."
What sister, what accident!
Right, the accident!
She suddenly lifted the quilt, and the figures of the two people were still clear.
"Carter, tell me the truth." The thought that came to her heart made her shudder, she slowed down her mood, and asked hesitantly, "Was this accident... premeditated?"
Emily looked into Jack Carters eyes, unconsciously gripping the sheet, hoping for a satisfactory answer.
"..."
However, Jack Carter was silent, neither responding frankly nor denying it immediately.
"Ah..." In the silence, Emily laughed, laughing desolately. Tears slid down the corners of her eyes, and the world in front of her seemed to be peeling off, and in a moment, it turned into ruins.
He could stage a car accident to hide Molly, and he could replace her in the same way!
She once thought that she was the happiest person in the world, but reality mercilessly woke her up.
"Yanran." Jack Carter pursed his lips, paused, and said, "Dont worry, after the divorce, I will give you money for plastic surgery, you can still live brightly, find a suitable person for you, just treat this year as a special job, you are not at a loss."
Not a loss?
Emilys smile faded, Jack Carters taken-for-granted attitude once again refreshed his perception of this mans cold-bloodedness.
