CHAPTER 533
Chapter 533 What an Idiot!
Paisley was taken aback. She didn’t say anything for a long time and just stood there.
Paisley thought that after one day and one night, Mallory would reflect on herself. Mallory would regret, apologize, and cry bitterly to say that she shouldn’t have done it. But what did Mallory say now? Mallory wanted to be herself.
“Do you know what you are talking about? Are you crazy?” Paisley couldn’t help saying,
“I’m not crazy. I know what I’m saying and doing better than at any moment.” Mallory slowly stood up from the ground and stood in front of her. It was not until then that she realized that she was al
little taller than Paisley.
Although it was just a little, it was also a difference. This was the difference between her and
Paisley. They were two different people. How could they be the same?
“Paisley, I have listened to you for so many years. I can do whatever you ask me to do. But now, I
don’t want to do it anymore. Can’t I be myself? Why can you live a good life outside? I just want to
live in the sun aboveboard. Paisley, I just want people to know that the Drew family has a daughter
called Mallory. We are not the same person. We are sisters!”
As she spoke, she tried to pull Paisley’s hand. But when she was about to touch it, Paisley seemed
to have touched something hot and shook her off. “You’re crazy!”
“I’m not crazy, Paisley. Please! We are sisters. Let me be myself. I can help you. I can help you with
my own identity. Don’t want to be you anymore,” Mallory pleaded softly.
During the day and night, she had been thinking about the ring that had become a load on her mind
for a long time. She wanted to be herself and face Bridger with her own identity. Even if he couldn’t
accept it, it was better than suffering every time when she wanted to say something to him but
couldn’t.
“Shut up!” Paisley slapped her in the face. It hurt so much that it swelled up quickly.
“Have you forgotten the curse of our family? Have you forgotten that our family is destined to have
only one child? Do you want to be yourself? Okay! Then you can be yourself in hell!” Paisley
grabbed a fruit knife from the table and threw it in front of her.
The fruit knife fell on the ground with a crisp sound, and Mallory immediately quieted down. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She covered half of her face with her hand, and there was still a fishy and sweet taste in her mouth. She looked at the cold fruit knife on the ground, and her mind went blank.
Paisley said in a cold voice, “People only know that the Drew family is a very small family for
generations. They all think that it is because we have too few children, but they don’t know the
terrible curse of our family. The Drew family is destined to have only one child. Even if we give birth. to more, only one child will survive in the end.
“Don’t forget that our mother is not the only baby. Our uncles and aunts were all outstanding and better than our mother. But in the end, there was only our mother who survived. At that time, Grandma didn’t
want to hurt them. But if she had made the choice, she wouldn’t have kept our mother, the most useless one. Our family wouldn’t have declined because of that!”
These words made Mallory’s ears and head buzz.
She knew better than anyone else about the Drew family. She had heard of it since she was a child, so she had been living in fear all the time. Because she knew very early that only one of her and
Paisley could live!
Otherwise, the Drew family would be in big trouble!
She didn’t know why there was such a ridiculous curse, and she didn’t believe it either. But
obviously, everyone believed it except her.
Even her parents almost killed her, because Paisley was better than her and more suitable to be
the successor of the Drew family. Therefore, she was not even qualified to live.
Later, after she avoided several crises, she seemed to finally have the qualifications to live, but
from that day on, she lost herself.
She was no longer herself, no longer Mallory, but Paisley.
Only when she was needed would she appear as Paisley. When others didn’t need her, she would
always stay in a dark place.
At that time, she was very satisfied. At least she could live safely. Moreover, on the island, the area
she could move to was not large, so it didn’t seem to have a big impact if she was restrained.
But when she grew up, she met more and more people and went to more and more places. She didn’t know since when she became more and more unsatisfied and wanted more.
She wanted to dance on the street like other girls, to have a good relationship, to eat cream cakes
and sweet ice cream, but she couldn’t.
As long as Paisley couldn’t do it, she couldn’t do anything. She wasn’t herself. She was just Paisley.
“It’s just a curse. It’s just a legend. No one knows if it’s true or not. Is it going to destroy my life just because of that?” she said in a low voice, still unwilling to accept the fact.
“Nonsense! Don’t you understand the lesson I taught you before? This is the life of the Drew family.
Chantar con tou
you You can live and stand here to talk about it. You should thank me for my mercy. If I hadn’t let be my shadow, you wouldn’t have existed in the world long ago!” Paisley reminded her coldly.
Only one of the two sisters could live, so of course, the better one would stay.
Paisley didn’t know so much when she was a child, but she always knew that her sister was still alive because of her. If it weren’t for Paisley, Mallory would have died! So to some extent, Paisley saved her life. Mallory should be grateful, and Paisley could take back her life at any time she
wanted!
But now, Mallory was standing here, talking about fairness and being herself!
What an idiot!
Indeed, Paisley’s words were like a warning. Mallory suddenly came to her senses.
Since her childhood, even her parents had believed in it without a doubt. Paisley was convinced of the curse. She had never faced the choice of life or death. She had always been the chosen one.
How could Paisley know what it felt like when one couldn’t be herself? How could she know the
fear of death?
Paisley couldn’t understand or sympathize with her.
After thinking it through, Mallory suddenly gave up struggling, as if she had accepted her fate. She
lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry.”
“What?” Paisley raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
“Yes, you’re right. I forgot my duty. I shouldn’t have asked too much. It’s your gift that I can live. I
shouldn’t have asked so much!” she said softly and slowly.
