Touch My Sister?
10: Who Allow to
As soon as Hope entered the mall, she was greeted by the familiar sight of a cake shop at the entrance. Everything, from the shop’s name to the layout, was something Hope knew too well.
She couldn’t help but stop, her gaze instinctively falling on the cake displayed in the showcase.
Easton also stopped, following her gaze to the cake shop.
“Do you want some cake?” he asked.
Hope shook her head. “No, I’m not interested. There’s nothing worth eating.”

“I want some,” Easton replied, maneuvering his wheelchair towards the cake shop and finally stopping at the display case Hope had been looking at.
There was only one Black Forest cake left. He told the server, “I’ll take this one.”
The server glanced at Easton in the wheelchair and then at Hope, who was dressed in ordinary clothes. She sneered, “This cake has been reserved.”
Hope frowned. She hadn’t planned to buy the cake, but the server’s attitude irritated her.
“I remember you don’t accept reservations, do you?”
That’s right. Hope was very familiar with this cake shop.

In her previous life, she was often tasked with buying this particular Black Forest cake for Sylvia, no matter the time of day, rain or shine. If Sylvia wanted it, Hope had to buy it. If she couldn’t get it, she would be lectured by the whole family.
It was as if failing to buy the cake was the greatest sin in the world.
The server arrogantly replied, “Hmph, so what if it’s not reserved? I’ll tell you the truth -this cake is reserved for the seventh Miss of the Newton family. The Newton family isn’t a place for disabled people or country bumpkins like you to mess with!”
“Your shop doesn’t accept reservations, so it’s first come, first served. We came first, so we’re taking this cake!” Hope’s tone was firm, her gaze turning sharp. She had been insulted, and now the server dared to insult

Easton!
“Don’t take kindness for weakness!” The server was furious. She had been hoping to use this cake to please the eldest young master of the Newton family. If she could get into his good graces, maybe she wouldn’t have to work at this cake shop anymore.
“Call your manager,” Hope said, uninterested in arguing with a lowly server, and began looking around for the manager.
“You country bumpkin, can’t you understand human language?” The server snapped, moving to push Hope out.
But before her hand could land on Hope, it was slapped away.
She turned around in shock, her eyes widening. “Young Master Newton?”

Louis, his veins bulging from rage, had arrived just in time–another second, and Hope would have been pushed to the ground!
He yelled at the server, “Who told you to lay a hand on my sister?”
Easton, seeing Louis, couldn’t help but lower his gaze. The atmosphere around him became heavy.
Louis shot him a glance, not recognizing him. He assumed Easton was just another customer at the cake shop. The most important thing now was Hope.
The server then realized that Hope’s figure was somewhat similar to Sylvia’s and thought Louis might have made a mistake. She quickly tried to correct him, “Young

wanted a chance to feel like Sylvia, to have an older brother buy her a cake, even if it wasn’t the Black Forest cake.
That year, for Sylvia’s birthday, the family had made Hope line up at 4 a.m. to get the cake because they feared they might not get it. Hope had somehow managed to get two cakes, but Sylvia, upon seeing them, refused to eat. Since only one cake could be bought per customer, Sylvia assumed Hope had gone to another shop to buy the second cake.
Sylvia ended up smashing both cakes, and the entire Newton family knew that the cakes were from this shop, as the branding couldn’t be mimicked.
At that time, they thought as long as Sylvia was happy, it didn’t matter if they smashed the cakes–or even the shop. They would do

anything to please her.
It was also Hope’s birthday that day, but they didn’t care about Hope’s celebration and allowed Sylvia to destroy her cake.
Since then, Hope had never had cake again, nor did she ever mention her birthday.
When their mother notified him today, Louis had only one thought: he had to buy the cake for Hope! From now on, he would buy her cake every day!
Seeing Louis like this, the server thought Louis had been bewitched by this beautiful woman in front of him. She felt both jealous and hateful.
“You’re being deceived by this woman, Young Master Newton! She’s a shameless slut, always flirting with men. I saw her with some

old, fat coal tycoon last time, and today she’s with this cripple. She’s only after money.
Whoever gives her money, she climbs into their bed…”
Slap!
Before the server could finish, Louis slapped her hard.
His eyes were wide with fury as he shouted, “Shut up! Who gave you permission to slander my sister?”
“I…” The server froze in shock, clutching her burning face, tears streaming down her cheeks. “Young Master Newton, she’s not your sister. How can someone like her be compared to the seventh Miss? Were you drugged? I..”
Slap!

The server was slapped again, this time crashing to the ground, completely stunned.
Hope leisurely returned to Easton’s side to watch the drama unfold, feeling a deep sense of irony. She wondered what had happened to Louis in his past life that made him change so drastically in this one.
In the past, he had only ever slapped Hope in a fit of anger for Sylvia. Now, he was slapping someone else for Hope’s sake. Would he ever slap Sylvia one day?
Probably not. After all, Sylvia was the precious darling of the Newton family, and even if Louis had been reborn, his attitude toward Sylvia would never change.
Hope pondered these thoughts as the cake shop manager arrived to handle the

situation.
Louis’s temper finally cooled, and he handed over a bank card.
“Medical fees and other compensations. After today, I never want to see a service staff with no professionalism in this cake shop again. I, Louis, may not be able to hire your cake makers, but if I want this mall to close, I can make it happen!”
The manager’s face darkened but had no choice but to accept the card and usher the server into the back kitchen.
“Sis, Louis tucked his red hand behind his back, afraid of scaring Hope. “With me around, no one will bully you again.”
Then, he flashed a smile and pointed at the cake in the showcase. “Do you want this

His to tone was excessively flattering, his eyes full of cfacere, as if he genuinely wanaated to pleasesedtope.
But it wasas too late for that. Hope sneeeeded.
