It'll Come Naturally

"Everyone, shut up! Arguing like this is not helping! Why don't we stop wasting spit and actually think of ways to get her to agree with our plan. How are we going to send her there when she absolutely refuses to marry that old guy?" Sheena said loudly as she abruptly

stood up and banged the table with both her hands. Tiana's yelling was still going on. It ate at her already distressed mind.

"I don't see what the problem is. We could just knock her out," Cyrus blurted out, running out of patience. At first he didn't want to contribute to the discussion, since hearing Tiana's crying made him feel guilty. Tiana was his little sister, despite all their problems. At that moment, he just couldn't ignore her miserable voice and act like he didn't care about her at all. He wasn't that evil of a brother. However, his heart was touched only for an instant. Reality sunk in and hardened his sympathetic heart. He desperately needed this exorbitant amount of money to recover his merciless losses from the stock market. In light of the imminent bankruptcy that loomed over, he no longer hesitated to join the plan to set his sister up.

"Easier said than done. The glaring flaw in your solution is how the hell are you going to knock her out? Don't tell me you'll just do a karate chop down her neck. Such a heartless thing for a brother to do to his little sister! I, on the other hand, haven't even considered such a method," Vance replied sarcastically, fully intent on getting on his brother's nerves. Seeing his wife buckle under the weight of the embarrassment caused by Hannah's words, Vance couldn't help but avenge her by giving Cyrus a hard time.

"Dumbass! There are other ways other than a karate chop, less stupid ones. Have you been isolated all these years to not know of a sleeping pill?" Cyrus barked. He looked at his brother with scorn in his gaze. All of this was because of his stupid younger brother. Vance was too greedy. He wanted to take everything away from him. This vulnerability gave Rain, that son of a bitch, a chance to get his revenge on them. If Vance had shown restraint, they wouldn't even have been in this mess. They wouldn't need to argue with each other about which method would best set Tiana up, their only sister in the entire world. No one would have liked to peddle their own flesh and blood this way.

Oh, great! You think you're so smart, huh? Well, genius, the sleeping pill will only work if she's willing to take it," Vance snapped venomously at his brother. He saw the murderous look on Cyrus' face but he wasn't bothered in the least. He took Cyrus' look and spit it back at him with a look of his own. He lifted his eyebrows and smirked as if to say, 'Since you're so good at this, why don't you feed the sleeping pills to Tiana yourself and save us all the time and trouble. How come you're still sitting here talking so shamelessly to us? I know why. It's because you can't do this either! You're the one to talk when you can't even follow up your suggestion with action. Genius!'

"Why are you fighting again? Aside from these idiotic suggestions, doesn't anyone have even an inkling of a good idea? Can't you run up there and convince her with all that charm and wit you boys always boast about?" Sheena asked, clearly running out of patience. Her brows were furrowed deeply, she thought to herself with profound sorrow, 'Why are my two sons so stupid and useless? Especially at this critical moment, neither of them can give any help! They keep spewing these useless ideas! They're more interested in insulting each other rather than focusing on our dire situation. No wonder they couldn't even do the simple thing of holding on their own company. What is the big deal with that bastard Rain, anyway? He's nobody, but my sons still couldn't handle him at all.'

"Come on, Mum! We're not Rain. How could Tiana ever listen to a word we say?" Vance complained almost immediately. He was genuinely curious as to what Tiana was thinking right now. He never understood her even after having lived together for more than twenty years. They were family, not that bastard Rain, but she was always thinking about that little bastard all the time. Even if Rain had never smiled at her, she was still willing to drop everything to help and protect him.

"Well, then, what the hell were you doing before all this? For more than two decades, you boys couldn't even earn the trust of a little girl?" snapped Sheena sarcastically. She was fed up of this hopeless situation. She then gave her sons a disappointed look. She felt so helpless when she realized the difference in capability between her sons and Rain. They were just hopeless.

"It's not our fault that we look like you," Cyrus murmured, almost whispering. He retreated to his deep thoughts, 'That lucky bastard, he looks exactly like his mother. No wonder he always gets what he wants being all handsome and charming. If I looked half as good as him, I wouldn't be worried about anything.'

"What?! What the hell did you just say to me?! It sounded like you were blaming me for your own stupidity and ugliness. So it's all my fault now?" Sheena asked, quivering with rage. Her voice was shrill and cold. At that moment all her blood went up her head and she was ice cold with anger. She always knew that she never looked as beautiful as Fiona Xia, and this had always been a painful scar in her heart. No one had dared broach it for so many years, not even her husband. She never expected this to come from her own son. How could he bring it up knowing full well how affected she was by it. He just tore the scar open and even deepened the wound. He just stabbed her with his sharp words.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"No, Mum! You're drifting off-topic again. Let's just deal with Tiana right now," Cyrus immediately offered. He sensed the coming onslaught from his mother and tried to save the situation. 'It's better to go back to the task at hand. Otherwise, God knows how she would react if she is as furious as this,' Cyrus thought to himself.

Meanwhile, in the second floor of the Ke mansion, Tiana was prone beside her bed. She was agonizing over the fact that the family she grew up with and loved all her life were now discussing how to sell her to someone. She had no idea she had been a fish on their frying pan now, and they would never allow their paycheck to escape.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
