Chapter 9

Author: Washing Wheat
Dad, on the other hand, looked completely unhinged. He kept muttering, "No way. This can't be real. All the luck was mine. How could I be convicted?"

Both of them mentioned the word "luck", leaving everyone confused.

Had they lost their minds?

Suddenly, the Mirror of Retribution flashed red, and a piercing alarm blared.

"Alert. Alert. Abnormal memories were detected for Archie Harper and Katherine Austin. Loading complete. Beginning playback."

Inside their bedroom, Mom grabbed Dad's hands and laughed with excitement. "You're Archie, and I'm Katherine. Then our daughter must be that lucky star."

Dad smiled broadly, his eyes bright. "I didn't expect to transmigrate into such perfect identities. I remember that as long as we abuse that lucky star hard enough, all her luck will transfer to us."

They gazed at each other, full of affection.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let the lucky star be born."

The scene changed, revealing Katherine frowning at her phone. "The views are terribl

  • Born to Stand Trial: My Parents vs Me   Chapter 10

    Someone in the courtroom said, "This is sad. His parents just ruined him. The dead should be left in peace.""Maybe he couldn't take those demon parents anymore and chose to leave this world."I said nothing.I wondered whether Ethan would have treated me that way if Archie and Katherine hadn't pushed him to do it.When we were kids, he used to bring me food. But as we grew up, we became enemies.Ethan's death drew everyone's attention to one place. Archie and Katherine tried to slip away while no one was looking.They had barely taken a few steps before the judge noticed. Bailiffs quickly surrounded them.Katherine's face went ghostly pale. She trembled as she muttered, "This shouldn't be happening. My daughter is a lucky star. How could I lose? Emma, come save me…"However, no one responded.They were handcuffed and taken away by judicial officers. What awaited them was endless punishment.At the very last moment, Archie suddenly turned around. With a jagged stone he had so

    The judge announced, "The rebirth trial has ended. Now, the court will proceed with the retribution trial.""What? We only applied for the rebirth trial, not the retribution trial. Is this a mistake?"Dad's and Mom's smiles froze instantly as they stared at the judge in confusion.I chuckled softly. "What, you get to apply for the rebirth trial, but I'm not allowed to apply for the retribution trial?"Live chat comments scrolled quickly across the screen."This is great! Emma might actually be saved now.""Hahaha! The retribution trial is practically made for that family of three.""I'm officially a fan of Emma. That's a smart move.""Send those two up, and let's see what crimes they've committed."The retribution trial was the only trial that didn't require a public vote. No sinner could find mercy before the Mirror of Retribution. Those guilty of grave sins would die on the spot.The gavel struck."The retribution trial begins now. On trial are Archie Harper and Katherine

    With that, Ethan and Mom left the house. Only Dad remained, staring at me with a cold gaze.He made a quick call. Ten minutes later, four massive thugs walked in."The guests will still be coming over. Don't even think about running. These men will be watching you 24/7."I didn't say a single word. I was busy calculating the odds of escaping from four grown men.But no matter how I looked at it, the chances were zero.Dad huffed when I ignored him. "Don't blame me, Emma. It's just your luck."He left without explaining that cryptic remark. After that day, I never saw them again.Being watched by four strangers was surprisingly better than before. At least no one was forcing pills down my throat. I finally had the energy to walk and even run.One day, when Mr. Wang opened the door, I took the chance to stab him with a sharpened toothbrush.Mom, Dad, and Ethan rushed back, groveling at Mr. Holland's feet.Dad pleaded, "This is that bitch's fault, Mr. Holland. Please be the bigg

    The judge's voice rang out, heavy with authority. "Based on the voting results, both Emma Harper and Ethan Harper are found not guilty on the second charge of assault."Whispered murmurs filled the courtroom."I knew Ethan's charge wouldn't stick, but I'm still pissed.""Same. I want to see if those parents stay cold-blooded if their precious son dies.""Wait, isn't what Ethan and his parents did to Emma assault? Why doesn't that count?""Well, the trial is based on the applicants' claims, and in this case, the applicants are his parents. So, what exactly is the issue?"The gavel struck from above, and the room fell silent once more."The third charge is murder. Have either of you ever killed a person or attempted to commit murder?"The moment the words were spoken, Dad's and Mom's eyes lit up.They knew that this was the charge that would finally end me.For the first two charges, public opinion could be swayed by emotion. But for this one, only the hard facts mattered.Eth

    "You ungrateful bitch. How dare you hit me! You must have a death wish. Do you have any idea how much I paid your parents?" the man growled.It felt like an eternity before he finally stopped the assault.My face throbbed with a searing pain, and warm blood from my nose slicked my chin.Through a daze, I heard him pick up the phone."Get a few guys over here. I've got an influencer here."The words jolted me awake. The moment he stepped out to tend to his head wound, I scrambled out the window.Fortunately, I was on the first floor. I still had a slim chance of survival.Otherwise, if the fall didn't kill me, I would have been tortured to death in that room.Terror fueled my sprint out of that hellhole. I wandered the city streets in the dead of night, looking like a lonely ghost.The next day, Dad and Mom tracked me down and dragged me home.By then, the video of me running naked through the streets had already gone viral."Oh god. I feel so bad for Emma.""I remember when
