My Sister Schemed to Put Me in an Older Man's Bed Chapter 4
A week later, my parents took both of us to a reception hosted by the Channing family.The party was incredibly boring. I didn't know a single person, so I huddled in a corner thinking about new mystery plots from my writers' group.My parents used their status as the Channings' future in-laws to network with everyone.Lucy came over with Alex on her arm. I glanced at them once, then went back to eating and puzzling through my plot ideas.Alex called to me reluctantly, “Hey, Nina."I paused with my fork midair and looked up at him.Lucy pouted and tugged at his sleeve. Alex cleared his throat, "Lucy's still young. Please be more understanding when she makes mistakes.""But you can't get physical with her. Your temper is too volatile—you really need to work on that."I set down my plate and laughed coldly. "She's older than me.”Alex's face froze. He said, displeased, "Nina, I know you're upset."But seeing you sisters fighting over me doesn't feel good either."Feeling nause

I was just about to fire back when a voice—familiar yet strange—came from nearby,” My girl doesn't need your disappointment."A man with tousled hair sat up from the couch behind us.He held a glass of red wine, eyeing Alex with a sideways glance. "Talking to your future aunt this way? Where are your manners?"Alex gasped, "Uncle Lucas?”Uncle?Lucas Channing!

Lucas rubbed his sleepy eyes and stood up from the couch. He was tall—at least 6'1".His perfectly tailored suit pants wrapped around his long legs, and he'd unbuttoned the top two buttons of his linen shirt. Remembering how I'd nibbled at his collarbone that night, I couldn't help blushing.He walked around the couch and squeezed in beside me, draping his arm protectively across the back of my chair.He was impossibly gorgeous—refined features, deep-set eyes. When he turned to look at me, my heart involuntarily beat faster.It was in that moment I realized I was completely weak for a handsome face.Lucy stared in shock, unconsciously releasing her grip on Alex's hand. "He—he's Lucas Channing? But I thought..."She suddenly covered her mouth. After rolling her eyes around a couple of times, she switched to a sweet tone, "Lucas, hi."Lucas gave her a sardonic look. "Aren't you Alex's fiancée? He calls me uncle, but you call me by my first name?"That's quite the generation gap."

Mrs. Channing led our entire group to another smaller reception room.My mind was in turmoil. Before, I'd only thought my parents favored my sister more.I never realized that from beginning to end, they only used me—there was never any affection.Because they knew Mrs. Channing was fond of me, whenever my parents brought Lucy to visit her, they had her pretend to be me to curry favor.Lucy and I looked about almost alike. Children change so much as they grow up, and with my parents' coaching, they had managed to keep up this deception for years.As for Alex, he had known Lucy for years and had been in love with her all that time.What I thought was our reunion in college and his attentiveness toward me was just an act to please Lucy.As I questioned them, Lucy dismissively picked at her nails and said, "It's your fault for being so gullible."I was just having a little fun. Come on, Nina, you're not really mad at me, are you?"Mom nodded along, telling Mrs. Channing, "It's be

When we left the Channing house, I was about to get in the car when Lucas pulled me back gently. He kept his hand on my arm as he said to my father, "Let Nina ride with me. I'll take her home later."My father was busy sucking up to Alex and just nodded at us. "Nina, no rush to come home."The car moved smoothly down the road. Looking out at the city lights, I felt hollow and defeated.My eyes stung, but I refused to let the tears fall.Suddenly, my seat began to recline. Lucas kept his eyes on the road."You look tired. Lie down and rest a bit."He turned on the music, and sentimental music filled the car.I closed my eyes, using the moment to compose myself and wipe away the tears in the corners of my eyes."Lucas, how about we make a deal?"Lucas pulled over to the side of the road and turned to look at me. "The view of the river is nice at night. Want to get out and talk?"I never expected Lucas to actually fall for me.His offer to get engaged and help me out of that si

The day before the engagement party, Lucy suggested we have one last singles' party.I had no interest, but Lucas agreed with a smile.At the party, Lucy came over with a glass of juice. ”Nina, since things have come to this, why don't we call a truce? We can look out for each other in the Channing family."I pressed my lips together, eyeing the juice suspiciously.Lucy's lips curved slightly as she took a big sip through the straw, then handed it to me. "Satisfied now?"Just as I took it, Lucas appeared out of nowhere and grabbed my wrist.Using my hand, he drank the juice in a few gulps.Seeing my wide eyes, he feigned innocence, "I was thirsty."I helplessly held the empty glass and said to Lucy, “The person who hurt me calls a truce. Don't you find that ironic?""Lucy, regret or something?"Lucy wasn't bothered at all. She stared intensely at Lucas with an odd smile and nodded. “Nina, when have you ever known me to have regrets?"At the height of the party, Alex sudden

I found myself in a dark room, held tightly in a man's arms as he breathed heavily."Lucas," I called out uncomfortably.A soft chuckle tickled my ear, followed by his playful voice, "Keep it down. We're waiting for the show to start."After receiving Lucas's message earlier, I quickly realized it couldn't have been from him.The real Lucas, despite his lazy, carefree appearance, had a core of stubborn pride.If he truly felt threatened, he'd be the last person to drag someone else into it.I was planning to go home when Lucas intercepted me at the corner and brought me to this room.Now held in his arms, I was adjusting to the darkness. "What are you up to?"Lucas raised his hands innocently, "I'm not the one with plans—Lucy is."I immediately recalled Lucy's strange expression after Lucas drank the juice.In a flash, I understood her scheme.She must have spiked the juice.Lucy probably intended to send me to another man's room, then stage a scene catching us in the act.

In the hallway, a shirtless man was trying to escape but got knocked to the ground by Alex's furious kick.Alex, straddling the man and throwing punches, had bloodshot eyes. No one dared to pull him off.It was only after Lucas spoke that two people finally went over and forcibly dragged Alex away.By then, Lucy had also been pulled out of the room, her hair disheveled.She collapsed on the floor, her body covered in marks.Lucy looked up, saw Lucas, and suddenly lunged toward him like a madwoman."Lucas! It was you who helped me back to the room! Why did it turn into Jack Ferguson?”Jack Ferguson was a notorious playboy in our social circle.He was also the man Lucy had originally planned to set me up with.Lucas gave her a mocking smile, "Miss Sanders, don't worry. The hotel security footage will be available soon."Alex let out a harsh laugh, wiping the corner of his mouth with his thumb. His eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Lucy, “Lucy, you bitch. Haven't I been go

Not long after the engagement party, Lucy's hotel video spread across the internet like wildfire.Richard was so furious that he beat Alex in his office. When his son emerged, his face was a mess of bruises and swelling.Despite Richard's aggressive efforts to suppress the trending topic, Mrs. Channing worked behind the scenes to ensure the story stayed alive.After discovering I had been impersonated all these years, Mrs. Channing had completely written off her eldest son.While abroad, Lucas had established a small publishing house. With his mother's financial backing, what had originally been a five-year plan accelerated dramatically.Two years later, our books dominated the bestseller lists across all major platforms, becoming the literary sensation of the year.Around the same time, someone anonymously reported Richard for money laundering with ironclad evidence. The government swiftly moved in, seizing all his connected companies overnight.Thankfully, Mrs. Channing had di

At the engagement party, I met Alex and his father, Richard Channing.Richard's features somewhat resembled Lucas's, but his gloomy demeanor couldn't have been more different from his brother's.Alex followed cautiously behind his father.Richard casually clinked glasses with me and said, “Since you're part of the Channing family now, come by the company. I'll have someone arrange a position for you."His condescending tone made my skin crawl.My father nudged my arm, urging me to accept and say something nice.Lucas fearlessly met his brother's eyes. “Richard, my fiancee's employment isn't your concern."Besides, I hear you've had quite a few problems lately. Perhaps you should focus on your own affairs first?"He glanced at my father and added with a smirk, “Oh, and look after my father-in-law too, since he's one of your people."Lucas had told me that Richard must have plenty of shady business requiring my father's help.That's why he'd do favors for the Sanders family on

After yesterday's drama, today's engagement party became all about Lucas and me.Lucy and her mother didn't show up. My father came, but his face was bruised and he was limping slightly.Alex reportedly had knelt at the family estate all night. Mrs. Channing had announced she would take back his shares in the company.Before the engagement party, Mrs. Channing told us a story.I learned that my birth mother and Lucy's mother were sisters.Which meant Lucy's mother was actually my aunt.My mother had been happily married to my father until my aunt, jealous of her sister's happiness, dumped her boyfriend and seduced her brother-in-law.Finding the cheat during her pregnancy, my mother gave birth to me but suffered severe depression. Two years later, distracted while crossing the street on a rainy day, she was hit by a car and killed.My aunt quickly married my father, and they both decided to hide the truth.So that photo I'd seen at my grandmother's house—of a woman holding me

Lucy was unable to hide the hatred in her eyes anymore, "Nina, want to know why Mom never liked you no matter what you did?"Because you're not even her child!"Your favourite grandmother knew everything but went to her grave without telling you this secret!"You're just unwanted trash that nobody loves!"She screamed the last sentence almost hysterically.My mind felt like a million bombs exploding at once, the deafening roar bringing fragments of the past rushing back.I vaguely registered my father grabbing Lucy's hair, slapping and hitting her.Her mother—not mine—fought like a madwoman to save her daughter.I'd had my suspicions before, but Lucy and I both resembled her mother.Our blood types matched too.I'd even seen photos at my grandmother's house of Mom holding me as a baby, smiling with such tenderness and contentment.So I always thought she didn't love me because I wasn't good enough.Lucas held my face, calling my name, forcing me to look at him.I blinked a

Lucy sobbed loudly in my mother's arms.My father's first instinct was to hit me, but seeing Lucas's threatening expression, he didn't dare.Alex finished his phone call and walked over, rubbing his temples. He had composed himself back into the image of a proper gentleman, but his words remained ice cold, "My father knows everything now. After what Lucy's done, she'll never be allowed into the Channing family."My father panicked—his investment company survived entirely on the Channing family's support."Alex, Lucy didn't mean it. Maybe nothing even happened. Don't—"Alex's mouth twitched into a smile. "However, there might be another solution."His gaze fell on me, "Perhaps returning to the beginning wouldn't be so bad?"Lucas's face darkened instantly.My mother finally caught on and shouted, "No, Alex! You can't abandon my Lucy!"My father caught his breath sharply, involuntarily glancing at Lucas.My mother looked at Lucy in her arms and desperately told Alex, "Alex, Nin

The lazy voice of Lucas rang out again as he held up his phone, “The hallway security footage just came in. Why don't we all take a look?"Lucy's face instantly drained of color.Soon, her syrupy voice came from the phone, “Lucas, I fell for you the moment I saw you."If I could be your woman, even just once would be enough for me."In the footage, Lucy was leaning against a door, her face flushed with desire.When the door opened, a hand wearing a gold watch reached out and pulled her inside.Everyone turned to look at Jack, whose face had been beaten to a pulp. Sure enough, that same gold watch was on his wrist.Those who understood the situation began to mock her, "Looks like Lucy's plan backfired. She meant to hook Lucas but ended up knocking on Jack's door instead.""Tsk, Lucy always seemed so sweet and innocent. Who knew she had such a wild side?""Remember what Alex just said about helping Lucy do all the dirty work? Talk about wolves in sheep's clothing. Disgusting!"
