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!”
