Chapter 8

Author: Gin Green
"Opal, you shameless bitch!" Edith shouted, rushing toward us.

My plan to lure her there worked.

"Your parents ignored you, and here you are seducing Tyler?" she yelled.

Tyler stepped forward to protect me. "Edith, what's wrong with you?"

It was ironic. Tyler had flirted with other girls before, but Edith only ever targeted the girls, ignoring his unfaithful actions.

Now his protection of me enraged Edith.

She raised her hand to slap me. I dodged and kicked her in the knee, just like how she had made Tyler kick me in front of Evelyn's coffin.

Edith collapsed to the ground and screamed in pain. Tyler didn't care. Instead, he looked at me with a curious expression.

He wasn't stupid, and I didn't plan to maintain a delicate image with him for long.

"Edith injured her leg," I said.

Edith wore a short skirt, and her leg was badly scraped. With tears in her eyes, she grabbed Tyler's pants leg.

"I'm okay. I can get up on my own," she said.

She thought by saying that she could arou

  • Awakened After Death   Chapter 11

    Melissa quickly learned about Evelyn stabbing someone at the hospital.She shook her head and said, "Evelyn brought this upon herself."After Tyler's death, the Parry family came to Conrad multiple times and demanded millions in compensation.Conrad refused to pay and pushed Edith forward, saying she was pregnant with Tyler's child.But the Parry family wasn't foolish. They knew about Edith's relationship with Tyler.After that incident, Edith became unstable. Her speech and behavior turned erratic.In the end, Melissa stepped in. She agreed to pay the money on the condition that Conrad transfer all his shares to me.Conrad reluctantly agreed. On the one hand, he couldn't wait to bring his mistress home. On the other hand, he had no way to stop the Parry family from causing trouble.After resolving this, Melissa sent Edith to a mental hospital.I visited her once. She was dirty and unkempt, always staring blankly into the distance. Her hands kept rubbing her deflated belly. Th

    "What is this?" Evelyn asked, taking the report with a confused expression."It's the health check report for Edith after she jumped into the river for Tyle," I replied.Evelyn finally remembered, but the mention of Tyler unnerved her again.She flipped through the report. "How do you have this?""You left that day without taking the report. I took it for you, and the nurse told me something," I replied with a smirk.In my past life, Evelyn hadn't gotten to hear the news of Edith's pregnancy. Now I was looking forward to her reaction."Edith is pregnant," I revealed.Evelyn froze. She didn't want to believe it, but the report had Edith's name on it.She rushed out of the room, asking everyone she met if the report was real. Unlike Evelyn's breakdown, Edith was initially shocked and then full of joy.After confirming the report was real, Evelyn returned to the room and slapped Edith across the face.Edith was stunned. This was the first time Evelyn had ever hit her."Get rid

    I knew Edith would complain about today's events. I just didn't expect Evelyn to call me as soon as I got home, demanding I apologize to Edith at the hospital.It made me laugh. Edith's leg had a large scratch, but it wasn't deep. There wasn't even blood. Her wound might have healed before she even got to the hospital.Then again, going to the hospital suited my plans.Melissa heard it and frowned. "Ignore those nuisances."I hugged her arm and smiled sweetly, "I know, but I have Edith's medical report. I need to give it to her."In the car, I ran my fingers over the medical report, unable to suppress my excitement.Tyler texted me, asking me out tonight. I had planned to make the first move, but since he came to me, it saved me the trouble.I called him, speaking in a soft, trembling voice, "I'm at the hospital. Can you come keep me company? I'm all alone and scared."It made me sick to act like that, but I knew he loved it. As expected, he agreed without hesitation.I turned

    After Melissa arranged my transfer, I suggested going back to pack my things at the old school.She sent bodyguards to escort me there. I wanted to appear alone, so I asked them to keep their distance.It was break time. Most students were napping at their desks. Those who noticed me didn't recognize me at first. I walked straight to my seat at the back.My deskmate was Tyler, the one Edith liked so much. He had sat next to me to bully me more easily. Now it worked perfectly for my plan.My seat was stained with fresh red marks. It seemed they hadn't forgotten me in my absence. I bent down to pick up my scattered books. My foot nudged Tyler's chair.He woke up from the stir and frowned at me."Sorry, did I disturb you?" I apologized.He looked up and met my gaze. I smiled sweetly and tucked my hair behind my ear.In the past few days, Melissa had nurtured me well with the best of everything. I used to be insecure, dark-skinned, and thin. Now my appearance had changed. The contr

  • Awakened After Death   Chapter 6

    When my parents arrived, Melissa was talking to me about transferring schools.My grades weren't bad before. Even in a rural area with poor educational resources, my scores were enough to get into a regular high school in the city. But Evelyn sent me to that hellhole instead.Maybe Melissa's earlier words made them anxious. They rushed over with Edith.Evelyn pointed at my nose and yelled, "Are you handicapped? Don't you know how to go home? You came to complain to Melissa instead.""Opal, I always praised you for being sensible. Looks like your mom was right about you," Conrad echoed, looking down at me. "You really are a troublemaker."He thought his words would hurt me like before, but he was wrong.I turned around and hid behind Melissa. "Grandma, they're so mean."Melissa didn't mince words, directly slapping Conrad across the face. Everyone was stunned.Evelyn came to her senses and shouted, "Mom, what are you doing? Conrad is your son. How could you hit him for this girl
