Azura Loomis has no idea that her room is about to be turned into a pet playroom.
Returning to the long-missed home with her father and mother, she is left with nothing but discomfort.
Although the Loomis Family also lives in a villa, it is far inferior to the Jennings Family in terms of size and decoration. Azura feels claustrophobic at first glance.
Going upstairs with her mother and seeing the room the Loomis Family had prepared for her, Azura’s face nearly turned black with dismay.
The room her mother prepared for her was obviously put together in a hurry; it was simple in style and the furnishings were garish, lacking in taste.
And this room was not even half the size of her room at the Jennings Family’s house!
How could anyone live in such a small room?
Despite her dissatisfaction, Azura still accepted it with a considerate demeanor.
However, just as she was about to ask the maid to organize her clothes and belongings, she saw a figure dashing over.
It was Alice Loomis, the daughter born after she left for the Jennings Family. Alice had been doted on and raised like a little princess by her father and mother since childhood.
Now, upon seeing Azura’s room, the little princess threw a fit,
"Dad! Mom! Didn’t you promise this bedroom would be turned into my dance room? How can you go back on your word?!"
Hearing this, Azura’s expression stiffened abruptly.
Her father and mother hurried over to cajole their younger daughter,
"Alice, dear, be good. Your sister is coming back to live with us now, so give her this room. Mom has picked out a first-floor room to be your new dance room."
"I don’t want it! The first-floor room doesn’t get as much light, and the view isn’t as nice! I want this one!"
"You child, do you expect your sister to live on the first floor now that she’s back?"
The mother scolded softly without actually intending to discipline her younger daughter. Alice pouted and suddenly, her eyes craftily shifted toward the bracelet on Azura’s wrist,
"I’ll let her have it, but then she has to give me that bracelet."
That bracelet was a newly released limited edition from Brand A, priced at 880,000. Although Alice was indulged, luxury items like that were not something just to be bought on a whim.
Hearing her words, Azura almost wanted to sneer.
The bracelet was a school admission gift from Chase Jennings. Apart from its price, it was a global limited edition. Scarlett felt entitled to it just by opening her mouth; how could she be so shameless.
But then Azura saw her mother following Alice’s gaze to her wrist and spoke up with a smile,
"Azura, look at your sister. We’ve spoiled her. It’s just a bracelet. Why not just give it to her?"
Azura thought she had misheard and incredulously looked at her mother. After a long pause, she finally spoke with a strained voice, "Mom, this is a school admission gift from Brother Chase."
Upon hearing it was a gift from the Jiang Family, her father hesitated somewhat. Alice, acting coquettishly, tugged at his arm, prompting him to speak,
"Azura, if your sister likes it, just let her wear it for a couple of days. You’re not giving it to someone else; she’s your own sister. Chase surely wouldn’t mind."
They said it was for just a couple of days, but who knew if it could ever be returned.
Azura felt her heart turn ice-cold.
Having not grown up by their side, seeing them only once or twice a year, she understood that they did not have much affection for her, as she felt nothing for them either.
Despite this, watching her own parents so blatantly favor another daughter still made her feel suffocated.
It was she who had revived the Loomis Family’s fortunes, yet they still openly favored the other daughter.
Seeing that Azura did not reply, Alice once more pouted and played up her grievance,
"Mom, Dad, does sister not like me? Otherwise why wouldn’t she even give me a bracelet? I’ve already given up the dance room for her!"
At this, her parents’ gaze towards Azura changed, with her mother’s eyes even bearing a hint of blame, feeling she was being unreasonable.
Azura felt a pang of pain in her chest, an odd sense of being manipulated with her own tactics.
