Judith opened the gift box and there was only a plain chain inside and the only diamond was pitifully small.

She suddenly remembered that Maddie's circle of friends had posted a message that Steven spent 100 million to buy her a rare diamond necklace from the famous jewelry shop in town.

Judith weighed the necklace in her hand,without revealing any disappointment.

She put on the necklace with a smile and said softly,"Thank you."

Steven was surprised by her reaction,but soon figured out that no matter what he gave,Judith would be grateful.

He walked into the venue first,holding Maddie's waist and chatting with everyone.

Judith,who came alone,naturally became the target of everyone's flattery.

"Steven and Maddie are such a perfect match.They grew up together.It would be great if they could be together!"

"If someone hadn't taken advantage of Maddie's medical treatment abroad,they would have had a child."

"I don't know how she got into William's party.As the rumors say,Mr.Wilson is always flattering wherever he goes."

Judith didn't want to be a stepping stone for everyone to praise Maddie.She walked to the balcony and was about to take a breath when a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Miss Corliss,long time no see.Why are you here alone?"

Judith looked back and saw Maddie wearing a high-end dress and walking towards her with a smile.She was wearing the diamond necklace that she posted on her social media.

Judith hurriedly shifted her gaze and quickly adjusted herself,"I came here to get some fresh air because I'm bored.You look beautiful today and the necklace suits you very well."

Maddie smiled and touched the necklace on her neck,her tone full of pride,"Thank you,this is a gift from Steven.When I was a child,he said that when he grew up,he would buy me the most beautiful necklace in the world.I didn't expect that he would still remember it."

She took a step forward,"I heard that he also bought it for Miss Corliss.Is it the one on your neck?"

She stared at Judith calmly,trying to find any anger and jealousy on her face.

But Judith always had a decent smile on her face and continued to praise,"The necklace suits you very well.It really looks good on young people."

Maddie was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to speak.She originally wanted to see Judith angry and lost,but Judith's words left her speechless.A trace of ruthlessness flashed across Maddie's eyes.

When Judith left sideways,she suddenly grabbed her arm and said,"Miss Corliss,I still have something to say to you.Don't leave in a hurry."

The soft and slender hands touched Judith's skin,as if a sticky poisonous snake was entangled.Judith wanted to break free reflexively,but suddenly Maddie screamed.

With Judith,the two fell to the champagne tower beside them.The broken glass shards pierced her skin,making her gasp.The sound here attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing Maddie fall,Steven hurried over.Because he was too anxious,he didn't notice that he bumped into Judith who was struggling to get up.

She was already in pain all over her body and her body lost weight and fell backwards while staggering.The broken glass shards pierced deeply into her palm and blood instantly flowed down.

Maddie's eyes were blurred with tears.She leaned pitifully in Steven's arms and choked up,"Steven,I don't know which words offended Miss Corliss..."

After that,she carefully glanced at Judith,"But I don't think she did it on purpose.I guess she was just angry for a moment."

Steven looked at Judith with eyes that seemed to be icy.

"I didn't..."Judith explained palely.

If eyes could kill,she would have been cut into pieces by now.Steven didn't believe her and Judith should have known it long ago.

After a long silence,Maddie spoke again,with grievance in her voice,"Steven,is it because the necklace you gave me is more expensive than Miss Corliss's that she pushed mine?In that case,I'll give it to her."

After that,she pretended to take it off.

Steven picked up Maddie distressedly,looked at her bleeding arm and stopped her,saying,"No!You must go to the hospital right now."

He didn't even look at the embarrassed Judith,but just said coldly when passing by her,"I'll come to settle with you later."

After the farce,Judith didn't want to stay any longer.There was no taxi nearby,so she could only walk back with her sticky dress.

Suddenly,a familiar car stopped in front of her.

The bodyguards held her up on both sides and Steven's cold and urgent voice came from the phone.

"Maddie has a coagulation disorder and needs a blood transfusion.The hospital's blood bank is in urgent need of blood now.You have the same blood type as hers,so you go and give her a transfusion!"

Judith was tied up and brought to the hospital.The pain on her body made her break free subconsciously.

She screamed,"I don't want it!I didn't push Maddie.I won't donate blood no matter what!"

But these words fell into other people's ears as shirking responsibility and making excuses for themselves.

"Maddie said it was you,so how could it be false?How can you be so vicious?You are far worse than Maddie."

"It's fine if you don't admit your mistakes,but you are also jealous.Steven will never like you for the rest of his life."

His friends ridiculed her and talked about it unscrupulously and Steven's face became darker and darker,as if he felt that what they said made sense.

"Okay.If you donate blood to Maddie honestly,I can deal with your mistakes leniently."

He was sure that Judith was jealous.

At this time,the nurse came to inform,"It's not good.The patient's condition has taken a turn for the worse.Can you come for blood transfusion?"

Hearing this,Steven was stunned.

He immediately grabbed Judith's wrist and his deep voice was full of urgency,"Now is not the time for you to be jealous.Maddie is in danger now.You must give her a blood transfusion."

Judith frowned and her arm felt a slight pain.

After a moment of silence,she looked at Steven and said,"Is it for you?I only want to donate my blood if it is for you."

Steven turned his face away impatiently.In a hurry,he hit the glass window in a circle and the debris mixed with blood flowed down,which looked shocking.

"I am injured now.Go and donate blood to Maddie,just as if it were for me."

After getting a positive answer,Judith followed the nurse without hesitation.

Looking at her back as she left resolutely,Steven was in a trance for a moment.But the pain in his hand brought him back to reality.

Why did he suddenly care about Judith?

Steven was taken by the nurse to treat his wound.

He and Judith were separated by a door and he could vaguely see at least three blood bags placed beside Judith.After 800cc of blood was drawn,Judith lay weakly on the table.

The wide dress on her body was the easiest to hide glass shards and the sticky and prickly touch made her unable to rest at ease.

Behind the door,Steven's friends laughed out loud.

"It's really eye-opening that a dog can do this.She made herself look like this for Steven."

"Isn't it just a little blood drawn?Is it necessary to pretend like this?"

"Don't you understand that she is deliberately pretending to be pitiful,wanting Steven to pity her."

At this moment,Judith no longer had the extra energy to refute,she turned her head and looked at Steven.

Before she completely lost consciousness,she mouthed"ninety-ninth"to Steven through the crack in the door.

Judith had a long dream,she dreamed of the happy time she had with Stella in the past.

They went to school together,hosted parties together and participated in competitions together.In the classroom in midsummer,the two smiled at each other,happy to have solved the problem together.

But suddenly the scene in front of them condensed into a vortex.

When she saw clearly again,what came into view was Stella's pale face.Judith was about to hold her hand,but the scene was getting farther and farther away.

She couldn't help but call Stella's name,"Stella,wait for me!"

Judith was so anxious that she was sweating and she suddenly woke up from the bed.

She looked around and then at herself.The wounds on her body had been treated and the dress had been changed.The nurse who came to deliver the medicine explained that Steven had sent her here.

"That boy is your boyfriend,right?Didn't you see how anxious he was at the time?He carried you here before his hand wound was healed."

Judith was stunned,but still smiled and responded politely,"No,he's not my boyfriend."

Judith lost too much blood and the doctor suggested that she should be observed for a while,but she still went through the discharge procedures the next day.

Stella's death anniversary was coming soon and she wanted to spend some time with her on her cemetery.

Judith came to City Cemetery with a bunch of daisies.The girl in the photo was so young and beautiful.She was obviously Steven's biological sister,but the two of them were not similar at all.

"Stella,I'm here to see you.I dreamed of you again yesterday,dreaming of us playing together when we were little.I'm almost done with what I promised you and there's only one thing left to go to the 100th."

"Stella,this may be the last time I come to the cemetery to see you,"

Judith put her hand on her chest,"I'll take you home when I'm done.Remember,you used to like to come to my house and every time my mom made braised pork,you would eat two bowls of rice with it."

She leaned on the tombstone,telling her thoughts as she did on Stella's shoulder before."You know,I really miss you so much..."

As she spoke,tears flowed uncontrollably,dripping on the ground and leaving a trail of water.

Judith talked with Stella for a long time.Then,when she was about to leave,she looked up and saw a group of people led by Steven approaching in a mighty manner.

Judith didn't expect Steven to come.After all,since their parents divorced,the contact between the siblings had become less and less and even Stella's funeral did not invite the Wilson Family.

Steven noticed her first and a smile appeared on his lips."Judith,why are you so mean?It's fine to investigate my whereabouts in the past,but now you follow me to the cemetery."

Judith was confused until she saw Maddie holding a small box in the hands of the crowd and she realized that she had misunderstood.She thought Steven was here to pay tribute to Stella.

"I didn't,I came to see a friend."

No one believed Judith's pale explanation.

After all,everyone saw how she pestered Steven before.

"Stop it,everyone knows that you are so devoted to Steven that he can't be driven away.Oh,I see,you are playing hard to get."

"She gets proud when she licks the dog and she will be quiet when Steven ignores her."

"I saw the direction you just walked from,that seems to be the cheapest cemetery here.Maddie's pet dog was buried today and Steven directly bought the most expensive land.Otherwise,you can beg Maddie to see if she is willing to move a land for you."

Because Stella spent almost all of her mother's savings on medical treatment,even the cemetery fee was paid by Judith's parents.

Judith didn't want to argue.It didn't matter how they ridiculed and mocked her on weekdays,but they shouldn't insult Stella.

She slapped the man angrily,"If you can't speak,sew your mouth with a needle,so that you won't be surrounded by your foul breath."

The man was stunned.He didn't expect that the cowardly Judith would resist him.He subconsciously wanted to fight back,but was stopped by Steven.

"Since you said you are here to see a friend and we have known each other for so long,you should introduce us to each other."

Judith suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Steven,don't!"

She wanted to stop him but was restrained.

Steven quickly found the only tombstone with a bouquet of flowers,but he didn't recognize the person in the picture,but frowned when he saw the name.

After a moment of stunned,he slowly came back to his senses and thought about how this could be possible,the same name and surname.

Thinking of this,he looked at Judith provocatively and kicked the bouquet away with one foot amid her desperate begging roar.

As he gave the order,Stella's grave was tossed beyond recognition by the group of people.

"It's unlucky to have the same name as Steven's sister.It's a pity that the same name means different fate.Maddie just received an email from Sister Stella not long ago.She is doing well abroad."

"It's not her fault.After all,she is a friend of someone like Judith.How can she be a good person?"

Judith,who was still begging,was stunned.She raised her head in surprise and looked at Maddie,"What do you mean?"

She wanted to find that person to ask clearly,but was interrupted by Maddie anxiously.

"Okay,Steven,it's getting late.It's not good to delay the auspicious time."

Steven looked at the dull and painful Judith with satisfaction and said mercifully,"This is just a small lesson for you.A dog dares to bite its master!"

"Okay,I'm not leaving."

The huge amount of information almost overwhelmed her.Judith collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

Stella was not dead?What on earth was going on?
