I’m Someone Else

“You… I…” Norman froze in shock. He thought that Olivia had forgotten all about the fact that he still had another son out there. After all, she had been very young when she found out. But, from the looks of it now, she remembered it this whole time!

If she knew about it, then it went without saying that Ophelie did too as the two sisters were very close.

“Let’s just drop it, Uncle Norman. Don’t be mad. Olivia didn’t mean it.”

Yukine got to her feet and blocked Norman once more. Though she was speaking in Olivia’s defense, her tearful expression made it obvious she felt aggrieved.

Olivia eyed her. Sure. Carry on with the act of yours. You may think it’s flawless, but you never know who’s watching. Do you really think no one can see through your pretense? Who knows why all the Pearsons are so blind that they can’t spot your lies through your awful acting?

“Look at your sister, and then take a look at yourself! You’re worlds apart!” Norman’s hands were trembling. How did I, such a fine and remarkable man, end up with such a daughter?

“Hah! She’s not my sister. I only have one sister and that’s Ophelie! Don’t bother comparing us to her. You’re all part of the Pearson Family but we’re not!”

Olivia was so aggrieved that tears were streaming down her face. If she had a choice, she would’ve taken her mother’s last name. As if you’d dare to hit me if Mom were here! You’re always so cold and mean to me because you have a son so Ophelie and I aren’t important to you anymore! Did you think I couldn’t figure that out?

Just then, Ophelie entered the room. She had gone out for the day and as soon as she entered the house, she heard the sounds of people arguing upstairs, so she came over at once.

“Yukine?” Ophelie was startled. Why is she here? I didn’t see her earlier today. Did she just come over?

“Olivia? You’re here too? W-What happened to your face?” Ophelie cried out in alarm.

She spotted Olivia and immediately jumped onto the bed to check on her. She could see the slap marks on Olivia’s face, and considering what she heard just now, she was able to piece everything together.
