Nelly stood where she was like a sculpture. She only snapped back to her senses a long time later. She walked away
slowly.
‘Hah, orphanage, adopted, the Tanners’ heiress…’
What Mandy had said was like a ghost following Nelly, crushing her very last ounce of dignity and pride.
Those words were a wake-up call. Her identity as the Tanners’ heiress that she had been proud of was actually
fragile. She was just the heiress with a mask on. Behind the mask was a wounded face.
…
Absent-mindedly, Nelly walked to the courtyard. None of the massive, sophisticated houses that were as majestic as
castles belonged to her.
After passing by the corridor to the courtyard, she arrived at an exquisite standalone building. It was located in a
good location that was surrounded by mountains. It was a perfect place to live.

“M-Miss?” An old servant opened the door. She looked at her in shock. “Why are you here?”
“Where’s my sister?”
“She’s resting.”
“I want to see her.”
The maid wanted to stop her but failed to do so.
Nelly walked in directly.
The building was beautifully decorated. Even the decors exuded extreme nobility. The person who lived here was
truly the Tanners’ precious heiress.
Nelly pushed the door to the bedroom. The big, beautiful room was filled with the world’s most advanced machines.
A pale and skinny girl sat in a wheelchair. A doctor and nurses surrounded her, standing by for her.
She was stunned when she saw Nelly. Her beautiful, big eyes exuded distance.
“Sister.” She called out softly.
Nelly could not even force a smile. The rage in her had engulfed her rationality.
However, she smirked and walked to her, pretending to be in concern. “Do you feel better now, sister?”
“Mm-hmm.” Kelly nodded.
Nelly turned around to look at the doctor and the nurses. “Leave. I need to speak to my sister alone.”
Kelly was a little scared. She held the wheelchair handles tightly. Her lips quivered, but she didn’t dare to say
anything.
After all, Nelly was the Tanners’ heiress for the past over 20 years.
Her heart sank.
She could only blame her fragile body, which had been illness-ridden since she was born. She had almost lost her
life a few times.
Joe had consulted all famous doctors of all kinds, and he got the same answer: “She can only stay alive with the

“Not only that, but her illness will get worse as she grows older. Please be ready for that!”
However, Mandy’s health was so lacking that she could not bear another child. The Tanners needed a healthy
daughter to fight for marriage and bring honor to the family.
Therefore, she had picked Nelly from the orphanage.
She was active and healthy, and her birth horoscope matched Kelly’s.
A guru had said that Kelly would need blessings from her sister to stay alive.
Whether that was true or not, Mandy loved her daughter and chose to believe in that.
The couple had been treating Nelly like their own all these years.
Meanwhile, Kelly had been ridden with illness for years. She was hardly out, so people thought the Tanners only had
one daughter. They basically ignored her existence.
A cold gleam flashed through Nelly’s eyes. “My dear sister, I see that your hair is messy. How about I comb your
hair for you?”
