Alpha's Regret the Luna is Secret Heiress (by Sylvia) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 43: The Truth Unveiled, A Family Torn Apart–2

I glanced at Natalie, seeing her in a new light. She had called me “the treasure of our family” without hesitation.

Vanessa sobbed harder, then bowed deeply to me. “I’m sorry, Sister Olivia. I was

wrong. I shouldn’t have lied and slandered you. I’m sorry…”

(Connor’s POV)

Without hesitation, I announced coldly, “Dad, Mom, Grandmother, I will be sending my

foster sister abroad.”

My words stunned everyone into silence. The ticking of the grandfather clock in the

corner seemed deafening in the sudden quiet.

Vanessa’s eyes widened with panic, and she started shaking her head wildly.

“No, I don’t want to go abroad! I don’t want to leave!” she cried, her composure completely shattered.

My tone remained resolute and unyielding. “This is a notice, not a discussion.”

(Eleanor’s POV)

I felt my voice tremble in reluctance. Despite her faults, Vanessa had been my

companion for years.

“I disagree. Vanessa keeps me company at home,” I protested. “You and your parents are always so busy–who will be with me if she leaves?”

Then Connor dropped a bombshell, his voice slicing through the room like a blade.

“Vanessa covets her own foster brother. Are you really going to keep her in Riverdale?

Aren’t you afraid of scandal?”

“WHAT!” I nearly choked on my breath, clutching at my chest in shock. William and

Katherine paled with disgust beside me.

(Katherine’s POV)

My face turned ashen as the implication of Connor’s words sank in.

“What is the meaning of this?” I demanded, unable to believe what I was hearing.

Vanessa’s complexion drained of all color. She trembled violently, lips white as chalk.

“Brother, you… you…” she stammered, unable to form a coherent denial.

(Connor’s POV)

My face darkened, my tone merciless as I confronted the truth we had all ignored for

too long.

“Vanessa, put away those filthy thoughts. Stay far away from me. I will never be

interested in you.”

(Olivia’s POV)

I was stunned by his ruthless exposure. My amber eyes widened slightly.

I never expected that, just because I once hinted Vanessa might be infatuated with

her foster brother, Connor would now tear apart all illusions so publicly and cruelly,

even banishing her abroad without mercy.

(Eleanor’s POV)

I felt overwhelmed, clutching my chest as my voice trembled with anger and

heartbreak.

“Is it true? Did you really harbor such shameless feelings for your brother?”

Vanessa desperately wanted to deny it–I could see it in her eyes–but the words died

in her throat. She could neither confess nor lie.

What she couldn’t do was say she didn’t love him, because her obsession was clearly

bone–deep. Yet she couldn’t bear the idea of leaving him behind forever.

“Grandma, I… I…” Her sobs turned hysterical. “Please, don’t send me away!”

(William’s POV)

I watched my wife’s gaze fill with disgust and outrage. This girl we had welcomed into our home, raised as our own, had betrayed our trust in the most disturbing way.

I sighed heavily, seeing no alternative. “Tomorrow we will arrange your departure immediately. You still have the villa we bought for you in the Western Territory. You can live there. I’ll arrange a position for you at our overseas branch.”

Connor’s voice cut through her pleas, firm and final. “Without my permission, you are

“No! I won’t go!” My despair exploded into madness. “Brother, I don’t want to leave

you!”

My tears streamed uncontrollably, my voice shrill and crazed. I couldn’t hold back

anymore–years of hidden feelings burst forth like a broken dam.

“Why? Why can’t I love you? We grew up together, but there’s no blood relation. Why

can’t you just look back at me? Is it wrong that I love you? Is it wrong that I want to be with you forever?”

(Katherine’s POV)

A resounding slap echoed through the hall.

I stood tall, having struck Vanessa’s face hard enough to leave a vivid handprint. My
