Chapter 31 - Choose the Lesser Evil (2/2)

”I heard what happened to Julian. Such a poor little brother. If you want, I can help.” She gave a knowing look at Luna's direction and crossed her arms beneath her ċhėst.

Luna's grip on her handbag tightened. She knew what Sienna wanted in return. She was really tempted to give in and sign away those papers if it meant that she would be able to save her brother's life in this critical condition.

What was keeping her to fight for inheritance anyway? The Jiang family could go to hell, and she wouldn't even shed a tear if they do. The only people that matter to her right now was her mother and her younger brother.

”I—” She was about to agree when her phone rang loudly, disturbing her and Sienna's conversation.

Taking her phone from her pocket, she saw that it was an emergency call from her mother.

”Mom, I'll be back soon. Give me an hour, and I will be there,” she said.

”No, no—” her mother's tone was in panic, making Luna's heart clench in pain—”You must come back. We don't have time. The doctor said that they have to operate on him as soon as possible …”

Luna bit her lower lip. She had no time to waste and must decide soon. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She then remembered Hero's proposal after he dropped her off at Jiang's Estate. She still couldn't understand why this man was still pursuing her. Hadn't she made it clear that she wasn't interested?

'Be my woman, and you will get everything you want.'

His words sounded like devil's word whispered to her ear. Luna opened her eyes and looked back at her half-sister who was obviously waiting for her to come up with her decision. Both offers could save her brother, but who was the lesser evil between the two?

Could she really sell herself to the man who deflowered her? Or will she choose to agree to Sienna's terms?
