My sister, Emily Shaw, despised those delicate, submissive wives. Even after our mother, Evelyn Shaw, secured a big deal and used the money to cure Emily's illness, Emily recovered and greeted us with nothing more than a contemptuous sneer. She scoffed, "Even if you drank yourself sick for that deal, it was still a man who handed you the opportunity. "A strong, independent woman should outplay men at their own game and rise to the top, not sit around begging for scraps." Later, when Evelyn was framed and thrown in jail, Charles Rivers, the richest man in the city, stepped forward and offered Emily a way to save her mother. He said, "Be with me, and I'll get your mother out of jail." Emily shoved his hand away. She snapped, "Even if she dies behind bars, I'll never be some woman who depends on a man for survival." I managed to get the top lawyer to take my case, agreeing to marry him if he could help me save Evelyn. But in open court, Emily destroyed key evidence. She shouted, "Evelyn is imprisoned, and rather than fighting for her, you exploit her misfortune to cling to a man for your own gain. I refuse to recognize you as my sister." Evelyn died with injustice hanging over her. I became the infamous unfilial daughter, hated by everyone, left to wander the streets. But Emily, thanks to her fierce presence in court, caught the attention of a movie star. He spoiled her every day, always wrapping his arms around her waist. When I confronted her, she sneered, "We're in love. How does that make me dependent on him? "You, on the other hand, are a shameless, lovesick woman, staining our family name." I died with hatred burning in my heart. When I woke up again, I saw Emily snapping at Charles, shoving his hand away. I pushed her aside and wrapped myself around Charles's leg. Then I declared, "If she won't do it, I will."
