A Love Trap

Chapter 859 Who Enraged Her

Upon seeing the look in Angelina's eyes, Jeremy couldn't help but frown.

'What is wrong with her?' Jeremy silently thought.

Even if he didn't have the full picture, Jeremy didn't want it to escalate any further. He also didn't want his parents to know about it right then.

Before anything else, he had to discuss this matter with his father.

Although Belinda had been getting better since this girl whom they thought was Camelia came back, her body might not be able to handle such big news.

Hence, Jeremy thought that he should really think about the consequences of this matter blew up.

He had already decided that whatever he would do, he had to minimize the harm that might come out of it.

Otherwise...

Thinking about the implications, Jeremy closed his eyes for a while. He couldn't imagine how furious Belinda might be if she found out about it.

It would be better not to tell her about it right then.

He then turned to Angelina and softly said, "I will send you abroad in a few days. I will also transfer some money to your bank account. Don't come back unless it's absolutely necessary. More importantly, if Mom and Dad ask you, tell them that you just want to go abroad and that's it.

You can go now. Someone will pick you up tomorrow. You can pack your things tonight." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Then, he turned around as if he didn't want to see Angelina anymore.

Because of what he said, Angelina collapsed to the floor. At that point, she didn't know how to react or what to do.

"Jeremy, no, you can't do this to me!" Angelina begged him while pulling on his sleeves.

"I may not be your sister, but we've lived together for so many years. Please don't do this to me, Brother!"

Angelina continued to beg while staring at Jeremy.

Jeremy finally looked back at her, looking extremely disappointed. "Didn't you understand anything that I said?

I'm furious. It's not just because you pretended to be the daughter of the Gu family. It's the fact that you knew and you didn't even care to tell me about it. Why did you keep it from me for so long?"

"I can explain it. I didn't mean to do it on purpose.

I only found out about the truth later on. But by that time, I already met Mom and she was so nice to me. If, if she knew that I was not really her daughter, I was sure that she's going to be disappointed again. You and I both knew that she wouldn't be able to handle the truth.

So I thought that there was no harm in pretending to be Camelia for a while. But please believe me. Since then, I had already planned to leave when she comes back. Brother, you have to trust me. I did all of this with everyone's interests at heart."

But Jeremy only smirked at that. He then asked, "Is that so? That's just your selfishness talking right now! If it was true that you had my best interests at heart, you would have told me. Yes, Mother wouldn't be able to bear it but did you think I wouldn't? Did you actually think that keeping it from me would help? If you had just told me, the real Camelia would have been found by now!"

At that moment, Jeremy was so baffled that Angelina could have the audacity to defend herself with those selfish excuses. She kept on painting herself as a good person.

If she had been really considerate of what was good for Belinda, she wouldn't hide it for so long.

Maybe, everything would have been different.

Staring at Jeremy's back, Angelina struggled to stand up. She couldn't believe that Jeremy would be so cruel.

"Jeremy..." Angelina called out to him.

But Jeremy didn't even turn around to look at her.

Now, the sight of Angelina would make him recall every single mistake that he had done.

If he had been more careful and he had investigated more, perhaps things would not have been like this.

While he was still immersed in his thoughts, he felt a warm body hugging him from behind.

Looking down at the hands that were encircled on his waist, he said, "Angelina, you are not my sister."

At that moment, everything had been laid out in the open so Angelina could not do anything about it anymore.

To make things more complicated, the relationship between them was no longer of a sister and a brother.

She didn't know when but gradually, she had fallen in love with this man. There were a lot of moments when she would wish that he could be more than her brother.

But now, he couldn't even be like that. On the upside, they were no longer held by a familial bond.

Would she be able to...

With an even deeper frown, Jeremy suddenly stood up. Angelina, who was behind him, fell aside awkwardly.

He then looked at her in disgust. The expression on his face was perfectly reflecting what he was feeling.

She was his younger sister!

Although Angelina was not his biological sister, Jeremy treated her as if she was his own flesh and blood. For the past years, they had been happy as siblings. He thought he knew her so he didn't expect that she would have romantic feelings for him.

That was just unacceptable in Jeremy's book.

Nonetheless, they had already made it clear to each other. Therefore, Angelina didn't have to treat Jeremy as a brother anymore.

Angelina stood up and looked at Jeremy. "Brother, I'm afraid to tell you but I don't have anything to lose now. So Jeremy, I like you.

I don't exactly know when I started to have these feelings for you. But now that I've already said it, I don't have to hide anything from you anymore."

The frown on Jeremy's face did not fade. He looked at her and rigidly said, "I don't care what you're talking about right now and frankly, I don't want to know. But you better give up on this idea.

The door is over there. I won't walk you out, but get out of here right now,"

Jeremy then turned away, ignoring Angelina.

"Jeremy, don't you understand? I really do like you. After five years of being with you, I've known you so well. I know what you like to eat and what you don't like. If we just try —"

"No, we can't!"

Jeremy exclaimed before she could even finish talking.

Jeremy just couldn't understand why Angelina would have such an idea.

Did he go too far in treating her well? Or did he do something that made Angelina misunderstand his intentions?

In his perspective, he simply treated Angelina as his sister over the years. He never thought that she would develop feelings for him.

"What are the two of you talking about?"

Just when Jeremy was about to throw Angelina out, Belinda's voice resounded from the door.

She sounded like she was trembling.

Jeremy quickly turned around, looking at his parents who suddenly appeared by the door. He quickly approached them and asked, "Dad, Mom, when did you get here?"

Belinda did not answer Jeremy's question. She just looked at him and Angelina and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

For some reason, Belinda did not direct her question at Angelina.

Jeremy didn't know how long his parents had been standing there, and he didn't know how much of his conversation with Angelina they had heard.

But one thing was for sure. He didn't want his mother to know about everything just yet.
