Chapter 7

"Lucas is the only son of the Wrights and also the nephew of the Brent. Iris is going to marry into a rich family someday. He is a perfect match with proper age, nice appearance, and charming character, not to mention that Iris loves him." Anthony took it for granted.
Finally, he showed his real purpose.

"Iris is your daughter, am I not?
" Emily said sadly.
Anthony remained calm and silent as if he did not want to acknowledge her as his daughter at all.

Emily smiled, yet her eyes was filled with tears.
Sure enough.
He had divorced her mother when she was still a baby.
She should have known that her father was already "dead", and the father who was still alive belongs to Iris only.

In the bar
Lucas kept pouring wine into his mouth and soon got very drunk.

Iris sat beside him and put her hand on his shoulder, "Lucas, don't be like this, okay?
I'll be sad if you do. She doesn't love you, but I do! I'm the one who loves you the most in the world."
"Emily, Emily.
" Lucas began to cry and kept murmuring Emily's name.
Iris bit her lower lip.
She had made the decision. She picked up the drunk Lucas and tried her best to walk him out of the bar to a hotel.

A month later.
" Iris and Lucas have come, Emily.
" Emily's colleague Joyce walked over and said to her with a weird expression.
Emily frowned.
She had already moved out of that house. She didn't know what they were doing here.
"What are you doing here?
" Emily asked with a grim face.
She once tried to explain to Lucas, but Lucas didn't listen to her.
She even saw Iris walking out of his bedroom in pajamas. At that moment, she knew that they were over, so over.
"Sister, don't be so cold.
Lucas and I are getting married soon. You are my only sister. I certainly want you to attend our wedding." She leaned shyly on Lucas and smiled with pride.
Emily sneered and said sarcastically, "You want me to attend your wedding?
Are you out of your mind?"
"Sister, why are you so cruel?
" Iris asked with her mouth pursed.
Lucas frowned and said to Iris with a cold face, "I told you so, we shouldn't have come to her.
"
"Lucas, don't say that.
Although it was my sister's fault to mess with others first, we're sorry for being together now. She's my sister. I don't want her to hate us even after we get married." Iris said even more piteously.
There were many people in the sales office.
Although they were standing afar, Iris's voice was so loud that almost everyone heard her.
Some people immediately came over and looked at them, gossiping.
Some of them were Emily's colleagues. 
Emily was so angry that her face turned red.
Iris did it on purpose.
Out of anger, she cursed, "Iris, don't be shameless.
You framed me first. How dare you to say this here?"
Lucas's face darkened and said, "Emily, it's you who are shameless!
Iris is your own sister."
Joyce rushed through the crowd to stand in front of Emily.

"What are you doing?
Do you think you can bully Emily? You know who is shameless? It's the one who cheated on Emily previously and makes troubles in her workplace now."
Iris said to Lucas aggrievedly, "Lucas, let's go!
It's all my fault. I shouldn't have expected it."
"Hmph.
" Lucas gritted his teeth and snorted at Emily, and then turned around and left with Iris in his arms.
Emily shivered with anger.
She had known Lucas for two years. She still remembered all their sweet moments. She had never expected things would turn into such a mess. 
"Emily, are you okay?
" Joyce asked worriedly.
Emily shook her head.
She couldn't work anymore, so she let Joyce ask for leave for her and got off work early to visit her mother at the hospital.
Her mother was hit by a car when she picked her up from school 15 years ago.
Ever since then, her mother has been in a coma and has been lying in a hospital bed, turning into a vegetable.
It was also because of this that she had to ask Anthony for help and live together with his family.

Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the hospital, she met Anthony, who never appeared in the hospital before.
