Chapter 293
Before Sheryl could finish, Nathan cut her off, “Hold up. We’re not family. You think you can come crawling to me, looking for a handout? Dream on.”
Sheryl was stunned by how ruthless Nathan was. ‘Has he lost all his conscience? How can he be so heartless?’ she thought.
Sheryl trembled all over with rage, her face contorted. With one leg already useless, she couldn’t even go out and find work. All she could do was pin her hopes on Nathan to help her take back everything from the Winslow family.
“Nathan, I’m your real sister,” she cried out.
Nathan’s eyes instantly turned cold, a mocking smile on his lips as he leaned in closer, his voice icy. “My real sister? What kind of real sister tries to kill her brother?”
Sheryl’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Nathan. ‘He actually knows. How could he possibly know?’ she thought, her heart pounding.
Nathan looked at her with utter disdain. “Sheryl, I’m not stupid. I know all the things you’ve done behind my back. The only reason I never bothered with you is that I never cared about fighting over the Winslow family. I only care about the money I earned myself.”
With that, Nathan turned and walked back into the house. Sheryl had tried more than once to eliminate the brother who stood in her way, all for the sake of becoming the Winslow family’s heir.
After all those attempts on his life, Nathan no longer felt anything for the Winslow family.
Sheryl could only stomp her foot in frustration, completely helpless. With nowhere else to go, she just lingered at the door, only for the security guard to come back and kick her out.
In the end, Sheryl left, grumbling and cursing.
Nathan knew she wasn’t truly out of options; she was just looking for an easy mark. Anywhere else, she’d have to live off others, but with him, she could shamelessly claim his things as her own.
“Keep dreaming,” Nathan thought. He was so tight with his money that he wouldn’t give her a single dime. Not even if she dreamed for three days straight would she ever get that lucky.
As soon as she arrived at school, the first thing Rowena did was find Winifred and excitedly tell her that she’d passed the audition; the director wanted her for the third female lead.
Rowena was so overjoyed that she couldn’t help but give Winifred a big hug.
“Winifred, thank you. I made it. I really made it,” Rowena exclaimed.
Winifred was momentarily caught off guard by Rowena’s cool, fresh scent. Winifred stood there a bit dazed before finally managing to say, “Congratulations.”
Rowena looked at her, eyes full of warmth and gratitude. Meanwhile, Yvonne, who had been lurking around the school for a while, spotted Rowena with Winifred and immediately rushed over without hesitation.
Before, Yvonne had only held back because of Sienna, but after digging deeper, she found out Winifred was nothing but a bitch, rumored to be mixed up with the underworld. Back in the day, people even called her Wicked Winnie.
“So it’s you. You’re the one leading my daughter astray.” Yvonne stormed over, jabbing a finger at Winifred and yelling, “Winifred, stay away from my daughter! Don’t think I don’t know what you people are up to. Just because you’re a loser doesn’t mean you can drag someone outstanding down with you. As long as I’m here, don’t even think about it.”
Rowena was shocked, but even more than that, she felt angry and helpless. “Mom, what are you doing here? Why are you even here! Stop making a scene and just go.”
“Oh, so it only took a few days for you to start picking up her bad habits, huh? And now you even have the nerve to tell me to leave?”
Yvonne snapped.
