Chapter 118 How Long Will You Keep This Up?
Over the years, her brothers had always used those words to guilt–trip her!
Initially, Jennifer felt guilty toward Sarah and treated her like a sister.
But eventually, Jennifer realized that Sarah was sowing discord between her and her brothers, trying to take everything she had and replace her as the Hargreaves family heiress.
In the past, she did everything to win her brothers‘ favor, obeying them just to stay in their good graces.
But in the end, it only led to her being

abandoned and dying miserably.
Jennifer scoffed. “Don’t I get it? I left the Hargreaves Villa and handed everything to Sarah. Wasn’t that enough?”
Daniel faltered. “Stop using running away as a threat. You did all that just to force us to bend, to coax you back home, didn’t you?”
Jennifer laughed in frustration. “That was never my intention.”
“Whether that was your intention or
not, I’m telling you that it’s not going to happen!”
Daniel, mindful of Timothy’s presence, didn’t say anything harsher.
Chapter 118 How Long Will You Keep This Up? 3/9 Daniel steadied himself. “Jennifer, if you
have any decency, you’d help Sarah with her group projects at school. If she fails, it won’t do you any good either!”
“And what exactly are those benefits for me?” Jennifer’s eyes flashed with sharpness.
Jennifer’s gaze was cutting; she had long since been disappointed by her brothers, so hearing these absurd demands from Daniel didn’t surprise her.
Once, it would have upset her.
But now, she was perfectly calm.
When you don’t care, it doesn’t hurt.
Daniel thought for a moment. “Sarah is
Chapter 118 How Long Will You Keep This Up? 4/9 part of our family, after all. What good
does it do you if she fails? Can’t you stop being so harsh and just help her out?”
“There are plenty of benefits. For one, I’d love to see her true colors exposed.”
Jennifer had no intention of helping
Sarah.
Before Daniel could respond, Timothy cut in coldly. “Enough. Jennifer is my fiancée now. She’s not obliged to do anything for the Hargreaves family, and you have no right to order her around.”
Daniel paused. “Mr. Clark, this is a Hargreaves family matter! You’re overstepping!”
“What part of you deserves to call

“If you truly cared for her as a sister, you would’ve noticed her injuries when you barged in here,” Timothy said, holding Jennifer’s arm.
It was only then that Daniel noticed the wound on Jennifer’s arm.
The bandage wrapped around half her arm, indicating a long gash.
Daniel’s confidence wavered. “I–I thought she was faking it. She’s done that before.”
Who would’ve thought Jennifer was actually hurt?
“Daniel, you acted too rashly. Who told
Chapter 118 How Long Will You Keep This Up? 6/9 you to confront Jennifer?”
Just then, Asher entered the room, with Sarah trailing behind like a shadow.
Seeing the injury on Jennifer’s arm, Asher looked worried. “How serious is it? Will it scar? We should ask Dylan for a remedy; scars don’t look good on a young woman.‘
Especially on the arm, where it was most visible!
Sarah quickly chimed in, “I know Dylan has developed an anti–scar ointment. It works really well. I’ll call him to bring it over.”
Sarah felt a pang of disappointment seeing Jennifer relatively unharmed.
Chapter 118 How Long Will You Keep This Up? 7/9 But unable to contact the person she
needed, she had come to the hospital to check the situation for herself.
Hearing Sarah’s fake kindness, Jennifer didn’t even pretend. “Get out. I don’t need your phony concern!”
Sarah immediately looked hurt. “Jennifer, I only mentioned what happened at school to Daniel. I didn’t mean for him to confront you. I swear!”
Daniel frowned. “Jennifer, this has nothing to do with Sarah. She’s always said she doesn’t blame you. If you’re angry, take it out on me!”
“Enough!”
Asher interrupted Daniel, “I know about

the school incident. If Sarah couldn’t handle it, she shouldn’t have pretended she could. Jennifer used to do her work for her; we all knew that!”
Sarah’s expression turned mortified. She hadn’t expected Asher to side with Jennifer.
Sarah forced a response. “Asher, I really wasn’t blaming Jennifer. I just wish she wouldn’t volunteer me to answer the professor’s questions next time.”
Timothy smirked. “Don’t you have a mouth of your own?”
Sarah blushed, tears welling up from embarrassment.
Daniel stepped over to console Sarah.

“Sarah, I know none of this is your fault.”
Sarah gave a tearful smile, looking as pitiful as ever.
Daniel’s temper flared as he turned to Jennifer. “Are you happy now? Can’t we just live peacefully like before? Do you really need to stir things up and compete with Sarah?”
