The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers - Chapter 49
The door of the room opened suddenly and Emily almost felt like her past was once again repeating itself.
However, unlike the last time, the person who entered the waiting room was not a young boy with silver hair.
“Why are you back so quick?” Emily asked as she looked at both of her brothers.
Mark did not answer her question. Rather, he signaled Leo to quickly finish his business and hurry.
Her youngest brother just gave an eye roll to Mark before he approached the sofa where she was sitting.
“Here! Take this card with you. You don’t need to sit in this room all alone. You can look around the Mall and buy whatever you want as long as Joy is accompanying you.” Leo said as he handed a credit card in her hand.
It was not the famous black card but a normal platinum credit card.
However, the way Emily pulled her hand away from the card left both her brothers surprised for a few seconds.
A soft sigh left Leo’s lips as he settled down beside Emily on the sofa.
“I know that you are worried about wasting Domenic’s hard-earned money. But let me tell you something. As your legal guardian, Domenic has to provide you with money every month for your expenses. That’s your money and you don’t have to think twice before deciding where to spend it. Now stop overthinking and take a look around the Mall and see if you find something that you want to buy.”
Emily was silent for a few seconds as she kept staring at the credit card that Leo was holding in his hand.
“Just give it to her. I don’t have the entire day to waste here.”
Mark’s sharp voice ranged into her ears making both her and Leo flinch a little.
His gaze landed on her as he continued, “As for you. If you are really that much against using this money, then you are more than welcome to pay us back in the future once you start earning. For now, stop create g scenes in front of others.”
He did not waste a single more second as he marched out of the room after throwing such sharp words at her.
“Mark!” Leo shouted in displeasure but his brother was already out of the room.
He turned his focus back to his little sister who was staring at her fingers that were tightly clutching the hem of her blouse.
He was expecting her to look sad or hurt because of Mark’s words but when he made her look up at him, he was surprised to see a soft smile and warmth present on her face.
“Are you okay? You don’t have to mind his words. As you already know he really doesn’t have a high level of patience.” Leo said as he patted her head softly.
The smile on Emily’s lips expanded as she replied in a warm tone, “I know. Don’t worry, I’m alright, and thank you for the card.”
Leo smiled softly at his sweet little sister before he gave her a warm nod and left the room after giving a serious glance at Joy who was standing at the farthest corner of the room.

“Can’t you try to be a little polite when it comes to her? Every time you open your mouth in front of her it feels like you are about to curse her or something. Even I’m tired of this unnecessary attitude towards her.”
The way Leo was glaring at his older brother, it was clear that he was serious about the situation.
But on the other hand, Mark looked as indifferent as usual. He just silently listened to Leo’s complaints but did not reply even once.
“Mark! I’m talking to you, damn it! Can you please explain your behavior towards our little sister?” Leo shouted out loud in anger as he glared at his brother.
A deep sigh left Mark’s lips as he turned his focus towards his youngest brother before replying.
“I don’t need to explain anything to you. And it’s not like I did something wrong. She was the one who was creating a scene there…”
“If you will try even for once to give her your attention and learn the reasons behind her hesitations, you will probably see exactly what is wrong with your behavior,” Leo said as he cut off Mark before the latter could complete his sentence.
“Are you trying to say that I’m being unreasonable towards her on purpose?” Mark asked as he looked directly into the dark green eyes of his youngest brother.
A scoff left Leo’s lips as he glared back at his brother before replying, “I’m not trying to say that. It’s the reality. You are actually being unreasonable towards her without any reason. It’s like you have already decided in your heart to not like her or try to understand her, no matter what.”
The two brothers were silent for the next few moments before Mark just gave the last piercing glare to Leo before disappearing from the room.
The Youngest Alessandro Master was left alone in the silent room as he tried to calm down his anger that was ready to beat Mark into a pulp.
Even though he was well aware that this dream of his was not possible at all.

“Where are you going?” Shane asked as he followed behind Rylan towards the shining black car that was parked in front of the convenience store where they currently were.
“Star Xander Mall.”
It was the only reply that he received from the Second Young Master.
“Wait! Why the hell are you going there?” Shane asked or most likely shouted in alarm as he stopped his friend before he could reach the car.
A sigh left Rylan’s lips as he brushed his fingers through his long silver hair that were left loose.
A clear sign that he was feeling not only confused but also frustrated due to some reason.
“I’m not sure. I have no idea why I suddenly want to enter the Southern province of the city. It’s just I have a feeling that I needed to be there as soon as possible. I’m having a bad feeling.” Rylan replied as he looked up at the sky.
“What kind of bad feeling?”
