Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024

“The reason he treats me like his sister is because I purposely mimic his sister’s traits and habits. He sees me this way because I look a bit similar to his real sister.

In reality. I’ve been nothing but a stand-in for his sister for all these years. Everything he’s done for me is to make up for the regret and guilt he feels about his real sister.

So, I’ve never been grateful to him; I just think he’s a big phony!”

Ellinor was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, she asked, “What about your real brother, Byran? As far as I know, he genuinely cares about you as his sister.”

Patricia snorted, “That blockhead Byran has no conscience! He’s nice to me only so that I’d put in a good word for him to our brother when he fails his exams, to lessen his punishment. Later on, he didn’t hesitate to start backing you, telling me about how good you are all the time. Does he not realize that I am his real sister, yet he supports you, a stranger! What a dimwit!”

Ellinor asked, “How did Theo use you then? You lied to him once, yet he has always treated you as the one who saved his life, and treated you like a VIP guest.”

Mentioning her favorite man made Patricia look like she was daydreaming, “Before you showed up, Theo was indeed very good to me.

However, although I liked him, I knew his kindness towards me was not pure.

On one hand, he thought I once truly saved his life; on the other hand, the Howard family and the Blanchet family not only have family feuds but are also business rivals. He could use me to get a grasp on the Howard family’s affairs, and he knew that I would tell him everything I knew.

Several times, he won the bidding against my brother just by the info I deliberately leaked.”

Ellinor pondered for a moment and asked, “What about Veronica? She always hoped that you could become Theo’s wife; because of you, she has always been hostile to me and caused trouble for me.”

Patricia rolled her eyes at the mention of Veronica, “That woman with bad taste? Veronica is even more superficial than me! She only treats me well because I always gift her designer bags and shoes.

Veronica is Putnam Blanchet’s illegitimate daughter. For generations, the Blanchet family’s wives could only birth boys and not girls, but they made an exception to let this girl into the Blanchet family.

Although she was raised in the Blanchet family, she didn’t have much money to spend due to strict parenting, so she had never seen anything good, and she only recognized big brands when shopping.

Every time I see bags or shoes that aren’t selling well, I buy them for her. She’d be over the moon, wagging her tail just like a dog. What a fool!TM Ellinor fell silent.

“What about your good friend, Haillie? She’s always been genuine to you, right?” Ellinor asked.

The disgust in Patricia’s eyes wasn’t any less when it came to Haillie, “Haillie? I never really considered her a friend! It’s clear that she got close to me because she likes my brother and wanted to get close to him through me so she could get into the Howard family.

Ellinor asked, “So, have you ever really considered helping Haillie get together with your brother?”

Patricia sneered, “Of course not! What’s my brother’s status? He’s the CEO of the Howard Group, one of the richest people in the country. What’s Haillie? The Knotts family is nowhere near good enough for my brother’s status; marrying a woman like her would not only lower my brother’s status but also our family’s status. However, this time she did help me get rid of you, vile person. I guess I should thank her for that.”
