Marrying Your Brother: How Do You Like That? Chapter 30
When Sophia saw how Yvonne refused to attend the party, she said sarcastically, "Someone's just jealous."Yvonne looked around at everyone who was turning on her like she was a villain. Suddenly, she understood what it felt like to suffer in silence. It seemed nothing she did would prove her innocence. In fact, she didn't need to do anything—these people were already blaming her for everything.She rubbed her temples. She seriously didn't have time to play games with these teenagers."Are you going or not, Yvonne? You can leave Class 6 if you don't go!" A guy opposite her spoke the words that echoed her thoughts.She secretly agreed with him—she didn't want to stay in Class 6 anymore."Let's go together. I'm going, too." Shawn helped ease the tension. People would talk about Yvonne if she refused to attend the party. If she went, it would be on her own terms. There wouldn't be anything to talk about.She understood what he meant and forced a smile. "Fine, I'll go."She would att

"The patient's blood pressure is dropping! Get the defibrillator!""Where is her family? They haven't signed the surgery consent form!"Under the glaring lights of the operating theater, Yvonne Sullivan's vision blurred.She could hear the sharp beeping of the various medical equipment and the panicked whispers of the nurses. Blood gushed from the C-section incision on her stomach, drenching the white sheet beneath her.Three days ago, in the pouring rain, she had begged Charles Lambert not to abandon her and the unborn child she was carrying, but all she got in return was a cold reply from his butler, "Mr. Lambert is out with Ms. Chase for her bridal gown fitting."And now, right after she was forced to sign the divorce papers, she had gotten into a car accident.As the anesthesia wore off, Yvonne reached out for her phone with a trembling hand and dialed the number that was engraved in her mind one last time."Charles…" she whispered, mustering all her strength. "The doctor sa

When Charles heard that Yvonne wanted to call off the engagement, his face darkened. "Yvonne Sullivan, you're going too far!"The engagement had been set when they were both kids. It wasn't something she could just call off."If you don't want to help me, fine, but don't threaten me with the engagement. I know you're jealous of Tiff, but she and I are just friends. Can you stop being unreasonable?" Charles said.He assumed that Yvonne was just saying that in a fit of anger.He never imagined that Yvonne was actually serious about calling off their engagement.Just then, a knock sounded from outside the office they were in. "You two, stop chatting. Charles Lambert, was it? Your brother's here for you."Charles' brother?William Lambert?Yvonne frowned.In her previous life, she had taken the fall for Tiffany like Charles asked, and Charles had called his mother, Regina Barlet.She should be the one here.Why was William here?But soon, Yvonne understood from the look in Char

"So you want to go back to your home?" William asked."No…" Yvonne lowered her head and put on a sad expression. "I would be all alone at home. I'm scared."Hearing that, William pursed his lips.For someone who had lost both parents and had no family left, loneliness was indeed terrifying. He felt the same."Then come to my place," he said.Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief at his answer."But Mr. Lambert, the banquet—" Matthew protested."Take us to Roselake Manor first.""Alright."Matthew had no choice but to drive over to William's residence."Sorry, Will. Will I be too much trouble?" Yvonne asked, acting innocent.William did not indulge her. He replied coolly, "Yes, you are. You should learn to get used to being alone."Yvonne was momentarily speechless.Her plan to ask to stay in Roselake Manor for the near future fell through just like that. But at least she now knew where he lived.When they arrived at Roselake Manor, William had someone prepare a room for her.

"Oh my god! Charles is so handsome!""He really is! Tiff, did you see that? Charles was looking at you!"Tiffany's classmates were teasing her.Feeling the attention on her, Tiffany lowered her head shyly.Seeing Tiffany's bashful expression, Charles smiled wider.Tiffany was pretty, with her wide eyes and long, straight hair. She looked gentle and docile, the type of person who was loved by students and teachers alike.Right after his match, Charles ran toward Tiffany.The boys playing with him whistled. "Ooh, you guys are together!""Yeah, are you guys dating?"The voices cheering them on grew louder and louder.Seeing this, Shawn frowned. "Class is starting soon. What's all this noise?""That's right! Tiffany doesn't even deserve Charles!" Sophia said unhappily.Charles had almost reached Tiffany when suddenly, a loud shout came from the entrance of the gym building. "Yvonne, are you okay?""Someone help! We need to get her to the nurse!"Charles froze. When he turne

Matthew was quick to respond. "Yes, Mr. Lambert."Matthew signaled for Yvonne to get on his back, but Yvonne backed away quickly, waving her hand. "No, no, Will, I'm fine. Shawn can take me to the infirmary…"She lowered her head. "Besides, I still have class in the afternoon. If I leave, I won't be able to take notes for Charles.""He can take his own notes. Why are you taking notes for him?" William asked.Yvonne bit her lip without answering.Even Matthew couldn't help but pity her.Yvonne was an heiress in her own right. Why was she putting herself through all this? What had the Lambert family done to her all these years?"Ms. Sullivan, let me take you to the hospital," he said. "I can't trouble you like that," Yvonne said in feigned panic. "I can go myself later."Seeing this, William took off his jacket and tossed it at Matthew. "Go get the car. I'll drive her to the hospital."Matthew was taken aback. "Mr. Lambert…"William crouched slightly, his back still straight

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became stifling.Sensing the tension, Matthew quickly raised the partition in the car."I... I don't want to stay at a hotel," Yvonne said softly."So you intend to stay at my place and not leave?" William questioned."I'm scared…" Yvonne lowered her head and sobbed, "I don't have a single relative left in this world. The other night, I overheard Mrs. Lambert saying something about taking over the inheritance."The moment those words came out of her mouth, William frowned hard."I don't know if they were talking about me, but I got scared... But if they weren't talking about me, then who else could they mean? Will, I don't want to live with the Lambert family anymore. They're really scary…"As Yvonne cried, she observed William's reaction discreetly.William had already lost both of his parents and had only recently been taken back in by the Lamberts. If he died, wouldn't all the money go to Regina and Charles?Yvonne believed she had made herself cle

William choked on his risotto, sputtering and coughing violently. His expression darkened right away.Yvonne quickly reached for some tissues. "Will, are you okay?"But just as she moved closer, William pulled away and blocked her hand that was almost touching him.He managed to compose himself, but his expression was still icy. "Do you even understand what you're saying?""I-I do. I know it's a bit much..."It was the first time Yvonne had ever been this shameless. She was asking a man she'd only met twice to marry her. The situation was awkward, to say the least.She quickly tried to explain, "It's just a temporary measure. My father's will said Andrew would be my guardian until I came of age, and then I'd marry into the Lambert family. Once I turn 18, the lawyer will transfer the inheritance to me. "But now that Andrew has passed away, I'm not interested in getting into an arranged marriage. After I inherit my estate, we can call off the engagement. How about that?"William remaine

All the students returned to their classrooms after the assembly, but the girls of Class 1 pushed Tiffany into Class 6. Tiffany looked shy as she walked in.Charles' friends loved Tiffany, so they perked up when they saw her. One cried, "If it isn't Charles' better half! We're over here!"Tiffany blushed at that, and Charles showed no sign of stopping his friend. The other guys in the class started cheering.Sophia's expression turned ugly when she heard that. "What are you guys even talking about? Aren't you afraid you'll scare her off?""Yeah, yeah. We all know you have a crush on Charles—just be frank and admit you're jealous! Don't act like you're actually worried we'll scare Tiffany off!""Exactly! It's only a matter of time, anyway. Can't you see how good Charles and Tiffany look together?"As the guys cheered, Tiffany was pushed to Charles' side, her face as red as a tomato. She said hesitantly, "It's my birthday today, Charles. I wanted to invite you to join us for karaok

Tiffany couldn't help blushing at her friends' envy. "Don't say that. I'm sure you guys will meet the right guy one day.""That's a formal announcement, isn't it? Looks like you and Charles are really getting together soon!""Of course they are! Charles doesn't like hanging out with girls—have you seen him with anyone other than Tiff?""There's Yvonne Sullivan, isn't there?""Her? She's just clinging to him!"The girls mocked Yvonne with everything they had. Everyone in school knew Yvonne was Charles' doormat—he wouldn't even give her the time of the day if not for the Sullivan and Lambert families being on good terms.Charles soon walked off the stage. One of Tiffany's friends patted her and said excitedly, "Look, Tiff! Charles is coming offstage!"Tiffany's blush deepened as she looked at Charles, who was close to her. He saw her, too.Tiffany's friends grew even more excited. "Charles is so handsome! He's looking at you!""This is my first time seeing him look at a girl so

At Yvonne's words, Shawn instantly said, "I didn't mean that!"She laughed when she saw him taking her seriously. "I was just joking. You didn't have to take me seriously."He was relieved to hear that. Yvonne continued, "Why didn't I ever notice how easy it is to trick you, Shawn?""I…" He didn't know how to respond to that.Yvonne got the Arnica cream he'd given her. "My back is almost back to normal. I think this would probably be better used on your arm."She put it on Shawn's desk. He looked at it and pushed it back to her. "I gave that to you. Besides, I have thick skin. I'll be fine even without applying anything."Charles was irritated as he watched their interactions from the back row. Was Yvonne that desperate for a guy? She was practically glued to Shawn! He had to admit Shawn looked good, but not to the extent that Yvonne couldn't take her eyes off him!The more he thought about it, the more irritated he got. In the end, he shot to his feet and stormed out of the cla

The teacher snapped, "Hand in your homework once you're done, or you're not going home today!"The students were in their senior year, and every day felt like a race against time. It was hard to believe some students still refused to do their homework at this juncture.Charles was left with no choice but to sit down. The literature teacher, Jessica Clark, had always been the strictest among all their teachers. It looked like he really wouldn't be going home that day if he couldn't finish the homework she'd assigned.He looked at the papers before him, feeling irritated. He didn't know why it was so important to do homework. As he started working on them, he had to stop for a minute for each question.He hadn't memorized any poems or sayings, nor did he know anything of the stories behind them. He'd never paid attention during class.One of the guys near him took pity on him and said, "This question is in our notes. Just check your notes and copy the answer.""Really?" Charles p

Yvonne didn't miss the flicker of glee in Tiffany's eyes. The latter concealed it almost immediately, but she was still too slow.She pretentiously stepped forward to hold Yvonne's hand and say, "Everyone's just joking around, Yvie. It's normal for friends to get mad at each other now and then, right? You… Don't tell me you took Charles seriously!""Exactly! We were just joking, Yvonne!""There's no need to take things so far!"The other guys realized how severe the situation was when they saw the look on Charles' face, but they didn't take things too seriously. After all, Yvonne had always been the one who'd given more than she'd gotten. They didn't think Charles had anything to lose by cutting ties with her."Fine, then. We're over." Charles clenched his fists. He didn't believe for a second that Yvonne would abandon him for Shawn.Tiffany couldn't suppress her delight anymore when she heard that. If he and Yvonne genuinely severed ties, there wouldn't be any other girls in his

Before Shawn could raise a fist, everyone watched as Yvonne grabbed her hot water flask and made a beeline for Charles.With a loud splash, silence descended upon the room. Then, everyone gasped in unison, after which the only sound left was the steady dripping of water on the floor.Yvonne had drenched Charles in the hot water from her flask. Steam rose from his soaked clothes, and his face turned red."I can overlook you insulting me, but what makes you think you can insult Shawn?" Her tone was cold and devoid of any hint of love. She was acting the complete opposite of how she'd been in the past.The rest of the class didn't dare speak, afraid Yvonne would also splash them with scalding water."Charles!" Tiffany's voice came from outside the classroom. She'd brought Charles his breakfast—this was not the scene she'd expected to see. "Are you okay? Are you burned anywhere?"She looked at him anxiously, but he responded with a sharp, malevolent glare. "Yvonne Sullivan!" he snapp

"Why, you—" Shawn's expression turned hideous.When Sophia saw him raise the ruler, she cried, "I'm your sister, Shawn! Are you really going to hit me with that?"He'd always been protective of her since they were children; he'd never actually hit her. At most, he would only threaten or scare her.She sniffled when she saw that he was genuinely angry. "I'm your sister. Are you really going to hit me over an outsider like Yvonne? I don't want you as my brother anymore!"She stormed back into the classroom and flopped onto her table before bursting into tears. The other students had no idea what had happened, so they circled her."Sophia, what's wrong? Did Shawn hit you?""Yeah! What's wrong?"They comforted her. Just then, Shawn came back into the classroom.Yvonne looked at Sophia, who looked like she was crying after being reprimanded. She said to Shawn, "I didn't know you were capable of scolding someone when you're so mild-tempered.""I'm not," he said."Of course you are!

"You think it's too little?" William asked."Of course!" Yvonne blurted. William had been spot on, and she'd answered him without realizing what she was doing. She quickly calmed down and said, "I didn't mean it like that…"William patted her head while swirling his whiskey. "These are schemes between adults. You should stay out of this."Yvonne fell silent. She had no choice but to return to her room when she saw William head upstairs. The rest of the night passed restlessly.…Yvonne went to school the following day. She was particularly eye-catching that day because of her forehead wound.Charles had already arrived. He was relieved to see Yvonne show up in class. It seemed Regina hadn't lied to him."What's up with your head, Yvonne?" one of the guys by Charles' side asked. "Is this the result of another grand gesture of love? What did you do this time? Fall down the stairs again?""What else could it be? Why else would she suddenly have a wound on her forehead?"Another
