I’m Someone Else

How could he still think of finding an excuse for Olivia? The Pearson Family would face destruction if they could not present her before the others on that day!

“Uhm…” Declan bowed his head, afraid to say anything else. He was terrified of his father because he knew and had experienced how ruthless his father could be. At the same time, he could understand him because this was how large families were. The benefit of the family always came first, and they could even sacrifice their blood in times of need.

“Oh, Declan, you’re such a disappointment! It’s Olivia’s destiny to be sacrificed, so she has no choice in this situation. What’s more, our family gave her life and raised her to adulthood. Is it too much to ask that she make some sacrifices for her family? I can’t believe she refuses to come home at such a critical moment! Isn’t that just taking our kindness for granted?”

Regarding his father’s opinion, Declan dared not concur. Olivia did not even know she was the ‘sacrifice,’ so how could his father say she was taking things for granted? Moreover, the Pearsons were the ones who forced her to leave. She would not have decided to sever ties with them if they had been nicer to her.

“Declan, I don’t care what you do, but you must bring her home! I don’t want to hear crap like ‘letting her be happy’ or whatnot. Is her happiness more important than our family’s benefits? She would greatly help us if she came home now!”

Declan was confused to hear that. “What do you mean, Dad?” Isn’t Olivia’s ‘sacrifice’ her greatest contribution to the family? But that won’t happen until half a year later, so why would she be of great help if she came home now?

“Pfft. Do you know who she is now? She’s the president of Keyshire Property! You must’ve heard of that company, right? That’s the largest real estate agency in Irieson, and if Olivia returns home, it will mean she has re-acknowledged herself to be a Pearson. Once she dies, Keyshire Property will naturally belong to us!”
