Michael's expression darkened as he took in what had been said to him. His blazing gaze shifted to
Steven in the blink of an eye.
“Did I let you stay here just to endanger your sister?” Michael's voice was ice cold. As he approached
Steven, the latter panicked when he sensed Michael's presence emitting a powerful aura.
In his fear, Steven looked at me after glancing at Michael as he approached. After that, he glanced
back toward Michael many times in a row.
“Michael, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I didn't mean to do it.” Steven gave Michael a cheeky grin as he stared
at him. However, his uneasiness was still clearly visible on his face.
“You have no idea how much Anna has given up for your sake. Every day, you've been slacking off at
work and not showing up to the office. Even more so now that you've started to offend these
gangsters.”
Steven's apologies did not go over well with Michael as the latter's face remained expressionless. He
was also aware that Steven's repentance was not sincere.
“I'm truly sorry, Michael. I promise not to contact them again. Please forgive me just once. Not to
mention, I just protected my sister from harm. You can ask her if you don't believe me.”
My advice to Steven was never taken to heart. He didn't act like that in front of Michael, though.
Yes, he did protect me earlier, but that couldn't erase the fact that he incited the gangsters in the first
place.
“Tomorrow, these gangsters will be sent to jail. I was debating whether or not to send you over so that
you might learn from your mistakes.” Michael's fury dissipated almost immediately. As he talked, he
looked into Steven's frenzied eyes. After hearing what Michael had to say, even I was in fear.
The instant Steven heard that he would be going to jail, he was terrified and knelt in front of Michael.
“Michael, I've definitely learned my lesson. Please accept my apologies for this one time. In the future, I
swear to arrive on time for work each and every day.”
Although Steven was a jerk, he had a small amount of courage. When he heard he was going to jail, he
was immediately terrified and kept promising to behave.
On the other hand, Michael was not as empathetic as I was. He wasn't persuaded in the least. His
expression remained icy the entire time. Hearing Steven's apologies would have already convinced me
if it were me.
Michael glanced at Steven coldly. He stepped right up to me, grabbed my hands, and marched out of
the place before he could finish his sentence.
Riding in Michael's car gave me a sinking feeling in my stomach. Would Michael really have sent
Steven to jail as he had claimed?
Michael started the car's engine. He acted as if he didn't want to go into detail about Steven's situation
with me. This made my heart race even faster, as I was already anxious.
“You're not going to put Steven in jail, are you?” Uncomfortable, I asked Michael, with my face turned to
him.
“Are you reluctant to let him go?” Michael continued driving his car. He didn't even bother looking at
me. His voice sounded soft. Hence, I wasn't sure if he was delighted or upset. I couldn't always see
through Michael's thoughts. Even at this point, I couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
“Steven will always be my brother. I cannot bear the thought of him going to jail. Surely you're
frightening Steven, then? You wouldn't put him in jail, would you?”
Steven was still my brother, no matter what he had done. Of course, I hoped that he wouldn't wind up
in prison.
“Yeah, I'm just trying to scare him a little bit. However, Xavier's gangsters will be locked up tomorrow. I
promised you that no one would ever be able to hurt you, and I will have to keep my word.”
My tense muscles were eased by Michael's reassuring responses. Thankfully, Michael was simply
frightening Steven. My parents would kill me if Steven were ever imprisoned.
“I hope Steven has learned his lesson this time around and will improve from here on. I truly hope he
doesn't go on living like this anymore.” I let out a sigh of despair. Thinking back on Steven's deeds, I
was deeply frustrated. How long would it take for Steven to mature and stop causing me so much
stress?
“Don't overestimate your brother. I told you that people are resistant to change. Sometimes, I wonder
why you and your family members have such different personalities. You don't feel like family at all.”
Every time I had a glimmer of hope for Steven, Michael was there to remind me of the reality. However,
what he said at the end made me quite upset.
“What are you talking about? Obviously, we're related. Besides, having different personalities in a
family is very normal.”
At times, I felt like I wasn't truly a part of the family. Mom and Dad were always hot and cold to me. I felt
as if I were an outsider. Because of that, I made a considerable effort to improve my relationship with
them. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't obtain the desired results.
“I guess so.” Michael lightly blurted out those three words and remained silent for the rest of the
journey. However, his words made me feel uneasy.
After returning to the mansion, I called my mother. I did not tell her that Steven had been hanging out
with gangsters. To ease her heart, I simply told her that he didn't answer her calls because he had
been drinking too much.
What happened today was a close shave. Despite the fact that there had been no harm done, I was
nevertheless terrified. There were far too many evil people in our society. Anyone and everyone could
run into them at any time.
After a quick power nap, it was already afternoon. In the meantime, Michael had already returned to
work. As I remembered, it was the day of my prenatal checkup. In order to avoid wasting Michael's
time, I decided to go on my own and not tell him about it.
Joy filled my heart as I walked alone on the sidewalk, thinking about how the baby in my womb was
growing day by day.
At that very instant, a beep came from behind me. As I frowned and turned around, I saw a silver
Maserati.
I squinted a little bit. I had no idea who this car belonged to as I had never seen it before.
I turned around and kept going, ignoring the car as I went. At that exact moment, a familiar voice called
out to me from behind.
“Anna.” It was Ronan's voice.
I felt a slight shiver run down my spine. I turned around once more. This time, Ronan had already
pulled up in front of me with his head popping out the window.
When I realized it was really Ronan, I was taken aback. This man had been driving a flashy red Ferrari
for as long as I knew. I felt a little out of place when I saw him driving a more toned-down sports car
today.
“Why are you here?” I halted my steps and greeted Ronan softly as I looked at him.
“I was just passing by. How about you? Where are you heading to?”
In Ronan's eyes, there was tenderness. The faintest smile appeared on his handsome face. It was a
lovely sight to see.
“I... am going to the hospital for a checkup.”
