Maybe that day was too much for her, and Ashley didn’t show up for a long time. It was like she had disappeared.
But a month later, she came back, closed herself up in her room, and didn’t say a word. She cried all day long.
In the end, she was still the sister that I had always loved, and I couldn’t bear to see her like this.
So, after dinner one night, I knocked on her door.
Ashley was in the corner, holding something in her hand.
I took a breath and walked forward, and I saw what she was holding with the dim night light.
It was a bloody piece of meat.
I gasped.
Where had she been these past few months?
When Ashley heard me, she turned her head. Her dark pupils stared at me, and her eyes were empty.
I shivered.

Ashley grinned and started tearing at the piece of meat: “It’s all your fault! All of you are useless! If you had money and power, how
could Jennifer look down on me?
What is she? She’s just rich and she can do whatever she wants!”
The bloody stench made my stomach churn.
Ashley stepped over the bed and grabbed my neck with her bloody hands: “Why? I should be the Sterling family’s daughter–in–law, I should be Blake’s woman! How can that Jennifer compare to me?”
I looked at her in shock, and then I kicked her in the stomach.

Ashley looked like a maniac: “Why? Shouldn’t Blake have fallen in love with me at first sight? Why is he still with Jennifer? Jennifer

s baby for the sake of her career. How can she be the head of the Jennifer family!”
I felt relieved.
Last time, because Ashley threw a fit, Blake’s engagement party was ruined. That led Blake and Jennifer to go through a lot of twists and turns to get together. That‘ s why I felt guilty toward them after I was reborn.
If Mom, Dad, and I had stopped Ashley earlier, things wouldn’t have become like last time.
I took a step back: “Jennifer can’t be the head of the Sterling family, so who can? Ashley, dreaming of becoming a phoenix is fine,
romance novel heroine?”
Ashley paused and looked at me with cold, sinister eyes. After a long time, she sneered.
it’s all your fault. Why can’t you try harder? That way, I wouldn’t be second–class!”
Ashley was hopeless.
