He Caught His Arrogant Fiancée Treating His Sister Like A Maid And Instantly Ended It
Previously: When Lawrence came home early to find his glamorous fiancée forcing his sister to scrub the marble floors, a dark family secret surfaced, changing all of their lives forever.
The Unmasking of a Cruel Lie
Charlotte’s face flushed red with a mixture of embarrassment and rising panic. She set her glass down on a nearby console table with a sharp clink.
"Lawrence, you are making a scene over a maid!" Charlotte hissed, trying to regain her composure. "She's just hired help. Why are you acting like this?"
"Hired help?" Lawrence’s voice vibrated with a dangerous, quiet rage. "Charlotte, this is my sister."
The words hung in the air like a physical blow. Charlotte staggered back a step, her eyes darting between Lawrence and the girl on the floor. When Charlotte had first met Hannah a week ago, she had assumed the quiet, plainly dressed girl was a temporary housekeeper Lawrence had hired. She had immediately seized the opportunity to assert her dominance, forcing Hannah to perform the most grueling tasks in the house while Lawrence was away at business meetings.
But Charlotte had never bothered to ask for Hannah's name, nor had she listened when Hannah tried to speak. She had simply assumed anyone wearing a plain dress was beneath her.
"Your... your sister?" Charlotte whispered, her voice cracking. "But you said your family was... you never told me!"
"Because I wanted to see who you really were when you thought no one was watching," Lawrence replied coldly. "My sister Hannah is the co-owner of my firm. She came here to help me set up the estate. And you treated her like garbage."
Hannah stood up, wiping her wet hands on a towel. She didn't look angry; instead, there was a profound sadness in her eyes.
"I tried to tell you, Charlotte," Hannah said softly. "But you told me that servants shouldn't speak unless spoken to."
Lawrence looked at his fiancée, the woman he had planned to marry in just three weeks. The illusion of her grace and beauty was entirely shattered, leaving behind nothing but an ugly, hollow shell.
