Chapter 947: Acting
"Sister, in your heart and mom’s, what am I?"
"Your sister? Or her real daughter?"
The Finn Chandler before might have thought so, so she tried her utmost to make their lives better, even at the cost of her own happiness and joy.
"No, you both see me as a pawn."
Finn shook her head, answering her own question.
"I want to have a life that I enjoy!"
She didn’t regret publicly revealing that she was not the eldest son of the Chambers Family.
She wanted to be herself!
"So, that’s how it is!"
Pearl Chambers cleverly ignored the true meaning in Finn’s words, deliberately misconstruing them.
"So, you’re saying that because you’ve been playing the role of the Chambers’ eldest son for so many years, you’ve harbored resentment, which is why you went after mom!"
"Finn."
"I know mom was wrong in doing so, but she did it for your own good."
"If she hadn’t done that, how could you have lived so well all these years!" "Even if you hate her, you shouldn’t have pushed her down the stairs."
As Pearl spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.
Finn looked at Pearl’s performance with a cold smile; her sister was always skilled at this, appearing graceful and gentle in public, but scheming behind people’s backs, even with those closest to her, never letting a morsel go.
"Pearl Chambers."
Finn called out loudly, "The news about my identity was my own doing."
"You’re crazy!"
Pearl voiced her shock upon hearing this.
A few days ago, when she saw the news online, she was both angry and frantic.
Initially, even the incident at the mall couldn’t take down Finn, so she was ready to go for broke, planning to reveal Finn’s identity and have Grandpa and the others go after Finn.
Little did she expect, Finn would expose herself first.
"I’m just fulfilling your wish, sister."
Finn gave a contemptuous smile.
Pearl, capable of such despicable schemes to harm her, was capable of anything.
Pearl was the type who couldn’t stand others doing well when she wasn’t.
If she saw others doing well, she hated it.
Rather than waiting for Pearl to set her up, making her life difficult step by step, it was better to strike first.
"I wonder if Grandpa finding out I’m a girl will hold you and mom accountable!"
Finn’s smile grew wider.
When she revealed her identity, she intentionally hinted at things involving Mrs. Chambers and Pearl.
Like how Mrs. Chambers wanted to secure her status in the family and planned to do so by elevating her son, and how Mrs. Chambers had been scheming against Grandpa and Mr. Chambers over the years.
"You exposed it yourself; on what grounds would they hold us accountable?" Pearl rebutted angrily.
"Grandpa doesn’t know it was me who exposed it."
Finn replied with a smile, "But he’s very clear that I, being innocent and unknowingly dragged into this, am not at fault, while you all are the masterminds behind these events."
Being raised as a boy, how could that have anything to do with Finn herself?
At that time, she was just born, and could only let Mrs. Chambers dictate her fate.
As she grew older, it was always Mrs. Chambers and Pearl planning everything.
They were the ones deceiving Grandpa and Mr. Chambers.
As Pearl realized this, her face turned pale, and she looked frantically at the unconscious Mrs. Chambers lying on the hospital bed.
On one hand, they were greedy for the benefits and advantages Finn brought them while posing as the Chambers’ Young Master, and on the other hand, they feared exposure, afraid that Grandpa would find out.
They had witnessed Grandpa’s methods many times.
