A Young Lady Who Has Had Everything Exploited By Her Sickly Younger Sister Will Not Let Anyone Take Anything From Her Anymore - Chapter 1

Today, Colette lost everything to her younger sister, Liliane—who was only pretending to be sick.

“You’re giving me your fiancé? After all I’ve suffered, being too ill to do anything, I deserve at least this much, don’t I?”

“I deserve this much?”

Those words tore at Colette’s heart.

“Liliane, are you serious?”

“Of course. It’s not my fault. It’s yours, Sister.”

“I’m sorry, Colette. I’m going to marry Liliane.”

“…!”

“You were jealous of Liliane getting better and secretly hurt her. That’s unforgivable, right?”

Liliane smiled sweetly, her pink lips curving beautifully.

Colette and Liliane were sisters with only a year apart.

Liliane’s silvery blonde hair swayed softly, as if to mock Colette.

*****

Dion, Colette’s fiancé, looked at her coldly. His usual fake smile was gone.

“I’ve already talked to Count Milliact. He’ll cancel our engagement right away. I’m disappointed in you, Colette.”

“Lord Dion… please don’t be too hard on Sister Colette. She must’ve had her reasons. Even if she’s not perfect, I still want her by my side.”

“…!”

“You can still stay and support us. Okay?”

Those words made Colette freeze. Goosebumps covered her arms.

I’d rather die than stay with Liliane forever, she thought.

“Liliane, you’re so kind,” Dion said.

“…………”

“Thank you, Lord Dion.”

“And Colette…”

It was always like this. People always compared Colette and Liliane—and Colette always came up short.

Colette thought, “You of all people have no right to say that. I’m done with you.”

She clenched her fist. Her palm stung from the pressure.

“My poor sister Colette… I’ll forgive her too.”

“You should be thankful Liliane is so kind. Know your place. You can’t inherit the title anyway.”

At those words, something inside Colette broke.

*****

Colette Milliact had a sickly younger sister, Liliane.

Liliane, with her platinum blonde hair and bright golden eyes, resembled a porcelain doll—pale, thin, and perpetually confined to her bed.

Everyone, especially their parents, adored her. Colette had cared for her since she was born.

Colette had felt sorry for Liliane, who couldn’t go outside, have tea with other girls, or attend parties.

But over time, her pity turned into jealousy.

*****

From a young age, Liliane had always been treated like a princess. Their parents gave her all their love, while Colette spent her days with maids and tutors.

As a child, Colette didn’t question it. “Liliane is weak. It’s only fair,” she thought.

But as she got older, she saw things differently. She started to feel jealous—but also guilty.

“Liliane is sick. It’s not her fault. I have to work harder to make up for her.”

But her parents never noticed her efforts. Instead, they treated her coldly, as if her feelings didn’t matter—just because she was healthy.
