Chapter 686 The Old Days
Just as Christine was about to step out of the door, Kristina suddenly was on her knees.
"Christine, please forgive me. I'm begging you! It was all my fault, and I've learned from my mistakes. I
have been blaming myself for it all the time during the past 26 years. I hate me for having been so
stupidly blinded to plot against you and Chad."
"But I was young and naive. I didn't know that he was already with you when I met him. I always
thought that he liked me and he didn't tell me his feeling because I was too young.
"Later, I realized that he took special care of me just because I was your sister. I was jealous... I was
crazily jealous."
"I always wondered why you were born to have it all. Your beauty, family background, status, and
money. You got everything without lifting a finger."
"And me? Although I'm the adopted daughter of the McClure family in name, everyone knows that I'm
just a playmate they got for you."
"You are their only daughter. They cherished you so much that they'd purchase an individual for you."
"I was no better than the dolls in your room! Do you think I was happy? No! How could I possibly be
happy?"
"Everyone knew how excellent you were, and you deserved to be spoiled. But what about me? I am
just an insignificant accessory of yours."
"You always have everyone's eyes on you, Christine. I'm really jealous of you, but there was nothing I
could do. I wasn't as lucky as you. I wasn't born into a rich family. I'm just a playmate randomly adopted
by your family out of hypocrisy."
"So I had nothing to say, and I didn't want to say anything. I had given up hope for my life. I decided
that I would do whatever you say to repay what I owe your family in this life."
"That had been all my life until I met Chad. I realized that I had been wrong! I am a human, not a toy. I
had my own feelings, and I should live for myself."
"I loved him and wanted to be with him so badly. He was like a beam of light shining upon my tragic life,
but in the end, you stole my light away."
"I hated what a perfect match you seemed like when you were together. You are both talented and
good-looking, and your family has equal social status. As for me? What about me? What about my
secret obsession and jealousy?"
"I couldn't live with that! That was why I drugged him and wanted to do it with him on your wedding
night, but... my plan never worked, and we did nothing in the end."
"I just wanted to get back at you and make you mad. I know that Chad would hate me for the rest of his
life if I really did that to him, so I didn't dare to do it, nor did I want to."
"You can blame me for the misunderstandings between you two, but for all these years, I've been
making up for my mistakes."
"I sent letters and emails in which I have already told you the truth. All I need is your forgiveness."
"And you... never have you replied anything to me, not even a word or punctuation. It has been too
long, and my patience is almost worn out."
"I don't have much time left now. I know you still hate me but am I really that unforgivable?"
"After all that I've done for repenting, why can't you just forgive me? Do you really want me to die in
regret?"
Christine's eyes moved when she heard that.
She let Kristina finish her big speech and then said coldly, "You done?"
Kristina looked at her with a pale face.
Christine smiled and turned back. "Your long speech is about nothing but your grievances and
innocence, and you accused me of my ruthless and cold-blood. I didn't see any sincerity of apology
from you."novelbin
Kristina was stunned.
She looked up at Christine with a pale face.
"I've already said I'm sorry..."
"Yes, you did, but will that make anything different?"
Christine walked up to her and looked down to meet her eyes.
There was a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were calm and cold, without much emotion in them.
She seemed to be ridiculing.
"You admitted you were wrong, and you accused my family of mistreating you at the same time, but
you can't show us any evidence about how we mistreated you, can you?"
"You said that our family adopted you and treated you unfairly, but have you ever seen any other
playmate wear designer brand clothes?"
"Have you ever seen any playmate' be sent abroad to study? Do the servants in their family ever
address them as 'miss'?"
"You always think that our family owes you much, but have you ever thought about your life before
being adopted?"
Christine's asked in a low voice, but that question hit Kristina's mind like a hammer.
She sat there in a daze and looked at Christine in disbelief.
She recalled the days when she had stayed in the orphanage before being adopted by the McClure
family.
She was abandoned at the orphanage gate when she was a child. When the director of the orphanage
found her, she was barely one month old.
There were no online media back then. They posted a notice with her photos in the newspaper, but no
one showed up after 1 month. So they let her stay.
The director's surname was Welch, so they named her Kristina Welch.
It was hard for local people to make a living back then, let alone those in the orphanage.
The director was a nice person, but there were too many orphans. Sometimes, not every kid could get
her attention.
As a result, young Kristina became the most lonely person there.
People always thought that all children were innocent and adorable, but they were not.
In a place like an orphanage, many children were sensitive and self-abased, knowing that their parents
had abandoned them.
Some of them were far from cute, and many of them were even more terrible than other children
because they had seen the dark side of this world at such a young age.
They ganged up and bullied other children. They robbed Kristina's candy and clothes behind the
director's back.
