Chapter 2
She opened the diploma.
The next second, her eyes locked on the photograph inside, and her face went white.
“Alex… Song?” she breathed, her voice trembling. She looked up at Roxy and Jessica.
“Yeah. The little bastard told me he was an orphan when we got together. Said he picked the name himself.”
My sister stared. “An orphan?”
‘That’s right! He said he was a fish leaving a polluted pond, trying to swim to the wide-open sea.”
Roxy snickered. “That’s rich. A freshwater fish in the ocean is a dead fish. The name suits him.”
The knuckles of my sister’s hand, gripping my diploma, were white. She stared at it as if she could burn a
hole through it.
Jessica sensed something was wrong and tugged on Roxy’s sleeve. “Roxy, let’s go get the paperwork done. I
ave to pay my debt tomorrow.”
Roxy shot her a look, then forced a smile at my sister. “Boss, I’ll take her to handle the transfer then?”
My sister didn’t answer. Her face was a dark mask. Instead, she came over and personally helped me up rom the ground. Then, she carefully reached a hand toward my face.
The pain made me flinch away. Her hand froze in mid-air.
Roxy, seeing this, exploded. “You little shit! The Boss touching you is an honor! What are you dodging for!’ She rolled up her sleeves and charged at me.
The next second, a sharp crack echoed as my sister slapped her across the face, stunning her.
Did I tell you to touch him?”
Roxy held her cheek, whimpering. “Boss, I was wrong!”
My sister turned back to me and pulled me forcefully toward her. Ignoring my struggles, she ripped open the
collar of my shirt.
A look of understanding dawned in Roxy’s eyes. She smiled fawningly. “Oh, Boss, so that’s what you want!
The kid does have a good body, but isn’t it a bit inconvenient to do it out here in the yard…”
My sister stared at the tattoo on my chest, silent for a long moment.
Jessica, seeing this, pulled Roxy aside and whispered urgently, “Does the Boss have… that kind of taste? He’s so ugly now, how can she even stand to touch him?” She was agitated, her pathetic pride rearing its head again. After all, she had ruined my face precisely so no one else would want me.
Roxy smacked her on the head. “Shut up! The Boss runs this whole place. If you don’t want to die, you’ll keep your mouth shut!”
