Lila stopped Janet on her way out. She flipped her hair and glared daggers at Janet angrily, “Why did you rat on me?”
“I didn‘t want to meddle in your affairs, but you‘re a member of this family. What you do will go on to affect the whole family a
great deal,” Janet said indifferently.
“Eric is a married man now. If the two of you get together, you‘ll only go on to disgrace the White family‘s name.” Lila glared at
her and it was hard for her not to push her on the shoulder.
“Don‘t act so lofty! You simply hate me because I had stolen what should‘ve been yours for so many years. You still despise me
for not telling you the parachute was broken. You simply wanted to get back at me!”
The more she spoke, the louder her voice got. Lila‘s face also reddened out of anger. She kept right on pushing Janet back.
Janet grabbed hold of Lila‘s wrist and sneered in utter disbelief.
“Since you know you‘ve owed me that much, you should feel guilty about it.” Janet shook off Lila‘s hand and was turning around
to leave.
However, she turned her head and reminded Lila in a cold voice again, “Eric won‘t divorce his wife. Mom and Dad said all those
things for your very own good. I hope you will wake up soon. Even if you‘re not their biological daughter, you can marry a decent
man because you‘re still a White. But if you keep right on doing this, everyone will think of you as a shameless home wrecker!”
Lila was being lectured by Janet right then. Lila became exasperated and said, “Who the hell do you think you are? You‘re really
in no position to lecture me! I do what I want to do and there‘s nobody who can stop me!”
She grabbed hold of Janet‘s arm and shouted out loud hysterically, “This wasn‘t my fault. Why do you hate me so much? You
simply can‘t bear to see me happy. Are you trying to destroy my life?”
It never occurred to Lila that she had been wrong and done horrible things. Beal and Johanna were both very kind people. They
had always gone out of their way to teach her to be a kind person.
Although she was upset about Janet‘s arrival, she believed all she did was complained to her parents for a while, and that was it!
Furthermore, she had nothing to do with the skydiving accident for she didn‘t sabotage the parachute! After struggling for a while,
Janet broke free from Lila‘s grip again. Seeing that Lila was way too emotional and unreasonable at the moment, Janet didn‘t
want to speak to her anymore.
“I don‘t want to talk to you right now until you calm down. I have to get to work.”
After that, she turned around and made her way down the stairs. Lila felt frustrated that she couldn‘t vent her anger right then.
What was with Janet‘s attitude anyway?
She acted all condescending, which went on to make Lila appear like a lunatic who was trying to stir trouble out of nothing. Lila
stood completely still and proceeded to stare at Janet‘s receding back. She was so angry that she shook from head to toe. When
she saw a car coming over down the road, she walked forward and pushed Janet hard on her back in the direction of the vehicle.
“Go to hell, you bitch!”
