Chapter 1444

• Izara’s mind wandered back to five years ago. He couldn’t help but recall how things had unfolded back then. At that time, when Liza was living in Y Nation, she constantly clashed with Nuella. She often confronted her and made no effort to hide her dislike. She even told him outright that she would never return to the Kang family unless Nuella was no longer around.
• Because of that, he developed a lingering resentment toward Liza. Even though she was his biological sister and he did care about her in his own way, he still couldn't bring himself to put her above Nuella. In his heart, Nuella had always been the fragile, gentle girl who had grown up with him. Between the sister he shared blood with and the one he shared years of memories with, he made his choice without hesitation. If only one of them could stay, it had to be Nuella. He convinced himself it was the right thing to do, even though it meant pushing Liza away.
• At the dining table, Liza glanced around, her gaze cold and sharp, tinged with mockery. Her memory wasn’t fully back yet, but she could already see through Nuella’s game. The weak, pitiful act Nuella put on now was no different from what she’d done back then. It was all just a performance to win Izara’s sympathy and turn him against her.
