She raised her fair and plump little face and pressed her palms together towards the starry sky. She gently expressed her wish, but she did not notice the way Olivia and Mason collided and heated up in the air.Â
Ignoring Michael’s obstruction, Ethan rushed upstairs to look for him. Michael had already called Mason and was waiting for him. In a moment of carelessness, Ethan barged into Evelyn’s room.Â
Harper was feeding her a bowl of bone soup. The spoon was overturned the moment it touched her lips. The soup bowl fell to the ground and spilled all over the back of Harper’s hand, scalding her entire skin. She was in so much pain that she broke out in cold sweat. Evelyn coughed a few times anxiously. “Sister Harper…”Â
“Mr. Walker.” Michael came in to pull him back. Then, he looked at Harper who had fallen to the ground. “Ms. Sulli- van, are you alright? Go wash up quickly.”Â
It was a mess.Â
It was all a mess.Â
Evelyn was coughing. Harper was injured. Ethan did not know how to restrain himself. He held Harper’s collar tightly and confirmed that Evelyn was Olivia’s sister. After all, that similar face was still very easy to recognize.Â
“Why are you here?” Ethan was like this. Whenever he encountered Olivia, he would completely lose control. He was like a mad dog. Even his own sister was not merciful. “You killed Olivia, and now you want to harm her sis- ter?““No… Mr. Brooks asked me to come.”Â
“It’s true.” Michael stood up and explained, “It’s really our Mr. Brooks who asked Ms. Sullivan to come. If you don’t believe me, ask Ms. Carter. She can also testify.”Â
Evelyn’s expression was fragile. She was shocked by this scene, but Harper had been taking care of her these few days. He had made soup for her, fed her medicine, chatted with her, and relieved her boredom. She had a good im- pression of her.Â
Powerless nodded. ‘I’ll take that as testimony.‘Â
At this moment, Mason arrived.Â
Mason pulled away Ethan who was about to go berserk and comforted the frightened Evelyn first. He sat over and patted Evelyn’s back gently. Evelyn was terrified and leaned into his arms. “How is Sister Harper? I can’t stop her. I’m sorry…““She’s fine.”Â
It turned out that Mason had such a gentle side to him. He had done it to Olivia before and also to Olivia’s sister. “Rest well. If you’re not feeling well, I’ll get the doctor to come later.”Â
Ethan also looked at Evelyn as if he regretted scaring her.Â
Among so many people, only Michael cared about Harper.Â

She didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.Â

He closed the door. Ethan did not move Ceriasie rolled up his sleeves. When Mason turned around, he punched him in the face. Blood spread from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it with his fingers, and the space between his fingers was stained with red.Â
“If I didn’t know, when were you going to tell me?”Â
Mason played it down. “Tell you what?”Â
“Olivia’s sister.”Â
They had agreed to look for her together and compensate her when they found her. Not only did Mason not do that, but he also found Harper. How could Ethan not be angry? “You’re still as despicable as before.”Â
Between them, he always seemed to be one step behind. This was true in the case of Olivia and also in the case of Olivia’s sister.Â
“Ethan.” Mason slowly wiped the blood off his fingertips with a wet tissue. With his back facing Ethan, his entire body seemed to be in a deep fog that could not be seen or understood. “I’ve always thought that you and I are compet- ing fairly. Even if we lose, there’s no need to be so angry.”Â
“Mr. Walker is too much.”Â
The only person who would stand up for Harper was Michael. As he drove, he scolded Ethan’s actions. “How can you pinch someone without any explanation? Fortunately, Mr. Brooks came quickly, or else…”Â
“It’s okay.”Â
“Our Mr. Brooks is the same. How can we let you take care of Ms. Carter?” In Michael’s heart, Harper was still the caring and noble Ms. Walker. “Who is she and who are you? It’s really…““Evelyn is Sister Olivia’s sister. That’s what I should do.”Â
“Bah-”Â
Michael looked down on Olivia and Evelyn even more. “Ms. Sullivan, in my opinion, you’re the best.”Â
Would anyone still think that she was good?Â
Harper smiled bitterly.Â
These days, Michael cars drove her in and out of Mason’s private residence frequently, but she was still discovered by Isabella and Sophia’s group. Michael sent her downstairs and walked out of the elevator. Harper lowered his head and was taking out his keys when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed her hair tightly.Â
