**Chapter 424**<\/p>\n
Sydney felt her heart seize in disbelief. Could it really be true? Megan wasn\u2019t a Hutton by blood?<\/p>\n
Megan\u2019s expression shifted from shock to a fierce glare. She spun around, her eyes wide with incredulity as she fixed her gaze on James. \u201cJames, you would humiliate me like this in front of someone who doesn\u2019t belong to our world?\u201d<\/p>\n
From the moment Theodore had brought her into their home, he had announced to everyone that she was the third child of the Hutton family, a declaration that had gone unchallenged ever since.<\/p>\n
With the fifth child, Vivian Hutton, having been missing for years, the public perception was clear: there were only four Hutton children\u2014Diana, James, Megan, and Raymond.<\/p>\n
James, ever the embodiment of tradition, stood rigidly at the doorway, his demeanor calm yet emotionally distant. \u201cAll I can say is that Dr. Wilson is a guest that Mother and Diana invited. If you consider yourself a Hutton, you ought to treat her with proper respect. But since you don\u2019t seem to embrace that role, I must ask\u2014how should I treat you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan\u2019s voice faltered, the flicker of guilt evident in her eyes. \u201cI didn\u2019t\u2026\u201d she began, but her pride held her firm. \u201cHave you forgotten what Father said?\u201d<\/p>\n
Years ago, Theodore had made it abundantly clear: no one was to disclose her true origins to outsiders. He had wanted to shield her from any judgment or disdain.<\/p>\n
James remained unmoved. \u201cAnd have you forgotten what Grandfather said?\u201d<\/p>\n
Albus had always enforced a straightforward rule: no member of the family was to misuse their status or mistreat others.<\/p>\n
Being confronted in front of Sydney caused Megan\u2019s cheeks to flush a deep crimson. Tears threatened to spill as her voice trembled with indignation. \u201cWhen have I ever bullied anyone? You\u2019re all being so unfair!\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice cracked as she pointed an accusatory finger at them. \u201cIt\u2019s you! You, Mom, and Diana! You\u2019re using her as a stand-in for Vee, aren\u2019t you? Even my room is on the third floor! Why does she get to claim the second floor the moment she steps into this house?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Hutton estate had undergone renovations once. Since that time, only the elders and the room that had belonged to the missing fifth child remained on the second floor.<\/p>\n
While many rooms lay empty, Florence cherished tranquility and had arranged for all her children, including Diana, to reside on the third floor.<\/p>\n
Sydney hadn\u2019t grasped the deeper meaning behind her assigned room until she caught the blazing fury in Megan\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n
Megan glared at her, her voice quaking with emotion. \u201cDo you even understand why my mother treats you differently? It\u2019s because they can\u2019t find Vee! They\u2019ve poured all their hopes and emotions for her into you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Even James, usually so composed, lost his temper. His piercing gaze locked onto her, filled with frustration. \u201cEnough, Megan! Consider your words carefully. Of all people, you are the last one who should speak Vee\u2019s name.\u201d<\/p>\n
His words landed like a slap across her face, and Megan froze, biting her lip until it turned pale. Tears streamed down her cheeks like a torrent.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re blaming me again. But Dad said it back then! It wasn\u2019t my fault! I was just a child, only eight! Those people came to take Vee. What was I supposed to do?\u201d<\/p>\n
James\u2019 voice softened to a near whisper, laden with gravity. \u201cWhether you truly couldn\u2019t or simply didn\u2019t want to, you know the answer better than anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vee had been taken right from their courtyard, snatched away like a fleeting shadow.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Megan had been playing with her. When the kidnappers had burst in and whisked the child away, she hadn\u2019t even uttered a single cry for help. If she had screamed, perhaps the guards could have sealed off the exits, and Vee might still be with them.<\/p>\n
Yet, Theodore had always shielded her from blame, refusing to let anyone hold her accountable. That unwavering protection had only served to make her more spoiled and rebellious.<\/p>\n
As James\u2019 quiet words sank in, Megan felt her composure shatter.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you really believe I did it on purpose, don\u2019t you?\u201d she sobbed. \u201cNone of you have ever cared about me! All you see is Vivian! Did anyone ever stop to ask how I felt? Even after twenty years, you still harbor hatred towards me, don\u2019t you? Every single one of you, except Dad!\u201d<\/p>\n
Florence, especially, had barely exchanged a word with her since Vee\u2019s disappearance. Before that tragic event, she had shown a preference for Vivian, but she had still treated her other children with kindness.<\/p>\n
After the calamity, everything shifted. Florence turned cold, Diana and James withdrew, and even Raymond ceased all communication with her. If not for Theodore\u2019s unwavering support, she might have found herself completely alienated from the family.<\/p>\n
The more she pondered, the more the injustice of it all gnawed at her. They all shared the same last name, so why was Vivian cherished while she was perpetually the outcast?<\/p>\n
Before James could muster a response, she shot Sydney a furious glare and stormed out of the room, her heart racing with a mix of anger and despair.<\/p>\n
James\u2019 gaze lingered on the now empty doorway, a hint of turmoil flickering across his face, as if something deep within him was stirred awake.<\/p>\n
Having witnessed the entire confrontation, Sydney felt a wave of awkwardness wash over her. She was at a loss for words, unsure of how to navigate the emotional fallout.<\/p>\n
James quickly regained his composure and turned to her, a hint of apology in his eyes. \u201cI\u2019m truly sorry you had to witness that. I hope it didn\u2019t make you uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sydney shook her head, her voice steady. \u201cIt\u2019s alright.\u201d<\/p>\n
He sighed, his tone softening yet remaining firm. \u201cDon\u2019t let anything she said weigh on you. She\u2019s been spoiled by my father, and her temper can often get the best of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the wake of the confrontation, the air in the Hutton estate hung heavy with unspoken truths and buried resentments. Megan\u2019s outburst had peeled back the layers of their family\u2019s facade, revealing the deep-seated wounds that had festered for years. As she stormed away, her anguished cries echoed in Sydney\u2019s mind, painting a vivid picture of a girl trapped in the shadow of a sister she could never replace. The pain of being seen as an outsider, even within her own family, resonated deeply with Sydney, who felt the weight of Megan\u2019s unacknowledged grief. It was a reminder that even amidst the grandeur of the Hutton name, the scars of loss and guilt could overshadow their lives, creating a chasm that no amount of wealth could bridge.<\/p>\n
For James, the confrontation had sparked a flicker of awareness, a realization that perhaps his family\u2019s rigid adherence to tradition had come at a cost. He stood there, grappling with the aftermath, recognizing the need to confront the unspoken dynamics that had long dictated their relationships. As he turned to Sydney, his apology was not just for the discomfort of the moment but also a promise to seek understanding and healing within his fractured family. In that shared silence, Sydney understood that the journey ahead would require courage from them all, as they navigated the turbulent waters of their emotions, striving to forge connections that had long been obscured by the shadows of the past.<\/p>\n
