Chapter 1
I accidentally injured my arm while doing a special secret experiment, and when I went to the emergency room, a woman cut in line.
I endured the pain and let her line up properly.
As a result, she hit me hard on the wound and yelled, "Queue?! I am the most favored eldest daughter of Wentworth Group! I never queue in Metropolis City!"
"Don't even mention an emergency room. If I want, everyone in the entire hospital can be driven away!"
"Get out of here now! Otherwise, when my brother comes, your other arm will be crippled too!"
I was so angry that I laughed.
Wentworth Group, isn’t that the marriage partner that my parents arranged for me a few days ago?
I turned around and called Lucas Wentworth, "Your sister asked you to come over and break my hand. Do you dare?"
……
Lucas on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then said in a cold tone: "What do you want?"
I couldn't quite believe what I heard.
My parents say that Lucas is a capable and polite gentleman.
I couldn't help but ask back, "Is this how you treat your fiancée?"
He sneered and hung up.
When Ivy Wentworth heard this, she snatched my phone and threw it to the ground: "So you are the woman who licked her face and wanted to marry my brother?"
"I didn't expect that she would be so ugly! My brother is really wronged!"
"And now you want to call my brother to complain? You are overestimating yourself!"
My face turned red when she said that.
Wasn’t this marriage proposed by Wentworth Group?
How come when she said it, it became like I was licking her face and asking to get married?
I hurriedly picked up the phone, covered my bleeding arm, and said coldly: "Even if you are from the Wentworth Family, so what? Can people from the Wentworth Family just cut in line and disrupt public order?"
Ivy covered her mouth in surprise. "Oh, what should we do? Our Wentworth Family can really walk sideways in Metropolis City!"
"Look at you country bumpkin, you haven't seen anything like this before!"
Walking sideways in Metropolis City?
I have worked at The Institute for ten years, and even my top management has never dared to say this.
The Wentworth Group has quite a big tone!
I was too lazy to talk nonsense with her, so I took my medical record and took a step forward: "The hospital is a place to save lives and heal the wounded. If you want privileges, go home!"
But before I took two steps, Ivy grabbed my hair from behind and pulled it back: "This hospital is owned by our Wentworth Family! What's wrong with me having special privileges!"
"How dare you cut in on my team on my turf!"
Is the hospital owned by the Wentworth Family?
What a big face.
This was clearly donated by my parents. Wentworth Group only invested in one of the projects, but it actually told others that it was its own company.
Even if it was opened by the Wentworth Family, she shouldn't privilege ordinary people like this!
I shook her off and said, "Can't you look at the big screen? I'm the next one. Who is cutting in line?!"
I thought people around me would come to help me, but what I saw instead was them pointing fingers at me.
"Everyone knows that Ms. Wentworth is Lucas's favorite. How dare you offend her? You are really stupid."
"That's right. How dare you ask Ms. Wentworth to queue up? I thought I heard it wrong!"
Someone else tried to persuade me: "You won't die from this injury. Let Ms. Wentworth take a look at what's wrong first."
"That's right. If you insist on forcing it, you might really die when Lucas arrives."
I didn't expect that such a powerful and overbearing voice would appear in a hospital in the center of Metropolis City.
I couldn't help but clench my fists.
Chapter 2
Seeing that I didn't move, she grabbed my wound and pinched it hard with her nails: "Did you hear me? Get out of here right now!"
When she pinched me like that, the pain was so severe that I felt dizzy.
I quickly pulled my hand out: "If anything happens to my hand, my boss will never let you go! Just wait for jail time!"
Ivy doesn't know that I am a first-level member of The Institute, and all first-level experiments must be performed by me.
If this hand were really broken, the damage caused would be immeasurable.
When she heard me say that, not only did she not let go, she even sneered, “Go to jail?!”
"In Metropolis City! We, the Wentworth Family, are the king! Who dares to put us, the Wentworth Family, in jail!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and a group of men in black rushed in from outside the door.
They rudely chased away the patient waiting in the corridor, "What are you looking at?"
"This hospital today! It's reserved by our Ms. Wentworth! If you want to see a doctor, go to another hospital!"
Just when they were about to touch me, I hurriedly shouted towards the emergency room lobby: "Are the security guards in this hospital just for show? Why don't you kick the troublemakers out?"
Hearing this, the medical staff came over, but their faces were more of an embarrassment. "Ms. Wentworth just has menstrual pain, it comes every month, just wait a while, forget it..."
Come every month?
Do you cut in line with ordinary people like this every month?
The more she acts like this, the more I can't indulge her!
Thinking about it, I picked up my phone and called the police. "If the hospital doesn't dare to do anything to her, I want to see if the police dare to do it!"
As soon as I finished speaking, a roar interrupted me: "Enough! You dare to bully her, you are going to die, right?!"
I looked up and saw a tall figure rushing towards me from the end of the corridor.
The man in a well-tailored suit with a stern look in his eyes was Lucas.
I thought to myself, no matter what, I was his nominal fiancée.
Considering that the marriage between the two families can bring considerable benefits to the Wentworth Family, he at least won't make such a mess.
I took a step forward and tried to explain, "Mr. Wentworth, I lined up according to the rules. It was Ivy..."
Before I could finish my words, Ivy pushed me away and rushed over to me aggrievedly: "Brother, this woman bullied me! She also said that she would put me in jail!"
Lucas held her behind him and stared at me: "Are you the daughter of the Sinclair Family?"
His voice was low and filled with suppressed anger.
I endured the pain from my wound and stood up straight: "Yes, I am Evelyn Sinclair, and also your fiancée."
"If you ask her to apologize to me, I can forget about her cutting in line today."
"Apologize?!" Lucas' face visibly darkened, and his tone was very unfriendly, "Ivy has had poor health since she was a child, and her temper is also straightforward."
"Why are you arguing with a little girl like her?"
Little girl?
I looked at Ivy. She must be in her early twenties at least.
I raised my arm that was still bleeding. "She pinched me. Is it okay to ask her to apologize?"
In the end, Lucas didn't even look at my injury. Instead, he bent down and blew on Ivy's hand: "Ivy, does your hand hurt?"
I couldn't believe my eyes.
Are they really brother and sister?
Ivy is my sister-in-law, and she dares to treat me like this now. What will happen when I marry her in the future?
It’s better not to have this engagement.
At this moment, my name was called in the emergency room.
I felt relieved and prepared to go to the emergency room.
But Lucas blocked my way and said, "You hurt Ivy's hand, and you still want to leave?"
Chapter 3
"I'm warning you, even if you marry me, Ivy still has the final say in everything in the Wentworth Family!"
"Whether in Wentworth Family or outside, you are not allowed to talk back to Ivy! Now! Kneel down and apologize to Ivy right now!"
I stared at him in disbelief: "Are you sick?!"
"What do you mean I hurt her hand? She was the one who cut in line first, and she even pinched my wound on purpose!"
"You want me to kneel down and apologize to her? Dream on!"
Ivy immediately raised her right hand and shook it in front of Lucas aggrievedly: "Brother, look, it's all red! She hit me!"
"Brother, I don't know how she will bully me in the future..."
At this moment, my arm was throbbing with pain, and even began to feel numb. I hastily pushed her away and said, "I advise you to let me in now. Otherwise, if anything happens to my hand, ten Wentworth Families won't be enough to compensate me!"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around, "What a big tone!"
"Everyone knows what the Wentworth Family's status is in Metropolis City. Is she crazy?"
"For a small fry like her, the Wentworth Family can crush her to death with just one finger!"
Ivy came back to her senses and pointed at me, "Why are you pretending? Don't think I don't know that your mother, in order to make you marry your brother, even at her age, went so far as to seduce the Wentworth Family's bodyguards, just to see your father!"
"I don't know what she said in front of Dad, but Dad is actually willing to let you join the sect!"
"Humph! Like mother, like daughter! The mother is shameless, and you are shameless too!"
My mom?
My mind exploded with a bang.
My mother is the daughter of the former richest man, and her family business was once one of the most famous in the country.
Although she is now devoted to scientific research and her family is no longer as rich as before, they are still considered wealthy. How could it be as bad as she said?
Besides, she really didn't know.
The experiment I conducted at The Institute has been successful, and the research results are exactly the core technologies that Wentworth Group currently lacks.
Lucas's father saw this and came to my parents again and again to ask them for a marriage.
But now, she even dares to throw dirty water on my mother.
My thoughts returned to me and I slowly took off the badge on the back of my clothes.
Then, without hesitation, he slapped Ivy hard on the face, "You love your brother so much, then I will satisfy you."
"This marriage is not going to happen!"
Seeing Ivy being beaten, Lucas grabbed my injured arm with such force that he seemed to pull me up: "You think you can hit the woman I have protected my whole life?!"
After saying that, she turned to look at the group of men in black and said, "Break her hand!"
Ivy came back to her senses, covered her face and cried, "Do you think my brother really wants to marry you? How dare you hit me!"
The wound split open instantly, and I screamed in pain, "Let go!"
During the tug of war, my badge fell to the ground and Ivy immediately stepped on it.
As she stepped on it, she gave me a mocking look: "How low, why are you still wearing such a low-brow brooch!"
My heart sank.
That's the badge of the institute! How dare she!
I threw Lucas away and rushed towards Ivy desperately, snatching the badge from under her feet.
Ivy smiled coquettishly when she saw this, and kicked me on the back, "Brother, look at her, she looks like a dog!"
"It's better not to marry a woman like this."
Lucas looked at me kneeling on the ground with disgust and kicked me, "If Dad hadn't been seduced by her mom and lost his mind, how could I have married her!"
