LOGINImprisoned by her half-sister, forced to sign the inheritance transfer papers, and before her death, she even learned that her mother had been harmed long ago. Sigourney Nichols departed this world in blood and resentment... Until she opened her eyes again-six months earlier when the tragedy had only just begun. Her mother was still alive, her husband was still by her side, and her half-sister was the same as ever, scheming to drive a wedge between them. She had thought she could easily change everything and take her revenge, but she was still a little late in being reborn-her husband already believed she had betrayed him! Fine... Coax the husband first, then take revenge!
View MoreSavannah Nichols opened the door and stepped into the dark room, reaching out to flip the switch. Instantly, the room lit up.
She lifted her eyes toward the old, worn-out bed and curled her lips into a cruel smile.
On the bed, Sigourney Nichols lay writhing in agony and pain.
She kept struggling to break free from the two shackles tightly clamping her wrists, but with her current frail strength, it was utterly impossible.
Her eyes, filled with resentment, glared at her younger sister as if she wanted to devour her alive.
She never imagined that the person she loved most, the one closest to her, would be the very one to bring her to this wretched state.
Savannah closed the door and slowly approached the bed. She reached out, pulled away the cloth gagging Sigourney's mouth, then calmly dragged a chair nearby and sat down.
"Cough... A..." Sigourney coughed violently, choked with rage.
Savannah placed a glass cup on the bedside table, then gripped Sigourney's chin firmly, lifting it up.
"Sister, why don't you know how to stay in your place?"
Despite her dire situation, despite her utter helplessness to resist, Sigourney steadied herself and responded coldly:
"You bitch! I don't have a sister like you!"
Her eyes welled up, turning red, but she forced herself not to shed tears.
Because only now, too late, did she finally realise-the sweet, affectionate little sister who always clung to her, the one she trusted completely-this was her true face. And in return for that trust, this was the outcome she received?
That all-too-familiar innocent smile once again appeared on Savannah's deceitful face.
"I've been taking such good care of you for a whole month, yet every day you keep cursing me like this?"
Good care? What a joke. Sigourney let out a derisive chuckle and turned her face away.
After deceiving her into getting a divorce, Savannah orchestrated Sigourney's supposed "death" and imprisoned her here.
Of course, by now, no one knew she was still alive. Over a month had passed-surely, her grave was covered in green grass by now.
Every day, she received Savannah's so-called "care"-meals even dogs wouldn't touch.
Various dishes, ranging from raw meat to rotting flesh, from vegetables left out for two or three nights until they became slimy and reeked of a putrid stench.
That was what Sigourney had been forced to eat for the past month.
And that wasn't all.
Her delicate body was now covered in bruises and wounds, black and blue patches marring her skin.
The bed she lay on was electrically charged-so with every meal, she had to endure an extra "dessert" of bone-deep convulsions.
Escape was impossible. Even suicide was out of the question. The only thing she could do was grit her teeth and endure.
This would end. It had to end.
But the ending awaiting Sigourney would be more wretched than any miserable fate she could have imagined.
And her "dear little sister" had never once let her go hungry. How... very "thoughtful" of her.
Savannah reached for the glass on the table, gently swirling it so that whatever was inside could dissolve more quickly.
"Today, you won't be under my care anymore. Are you sad, sister?"
Sigourney froze. She had already guessed what Savannah intended to do, and she struggled even harder.
"You can't do this... Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Haaa... If I were afraid, then by now, you'd be happily living with your husband. Oh, wait-no. He's about to become my husband. Should I thank you for being so stupid?"
Yesterday, Sigourney had been forced to agree to Savannah's demand. That was the reason she had suffered through over a month of torture, teetering between life and death.
She had to sign over all her inheritance rights to Savannah. Of course, she refused at first-hence her current miserable state.
But just yesterday, she had no choice but to yield to save her mother.
All the suffering she had endured over the past month had been in vain.
Sigourney and Savannah were half-sisters. Savannah was the daughter of their father's concubine, so the inheritance she received after their father's passing was nothing compared to even one per cent of what Sigourney owned.
Savannah pulled out a pre-prepared document from the drawer. It was fully written out, only missing one thing-Sigourney's signature.
One of the shackles was unlocked. Sigourney clenched the pen tightly, hesitating, unwilling to sign.
"Look here."
Seeing Sigourney's hesitation, Savannah turned on a video call and held the phone up before her.
A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the room.
Sigourney thrashed wildly and screamed in panic:
"Mom!! You beast, let my mother go!"
"If you don't sign, I'm afraid she won't live much longer."
Without hesitation, Sigourney quickly scrawled her signature. Savannah picked up the document, scanning it with satisfaction before smirking.
Then she lifted the phone, and her truly sinister voice finally rang out:
"Kill her."
The call ended in a split second.
Sigourney's entire body jolted. She went mad with rage.
"You lied to me! I'll kill you!"
"If the mother is dead, then the daughter shouldn't be alive either. Don't you think?"
With that, Savannah poured the glass of liquid into Sigourney's mouth, gripping her jaw tightly so not a single drop of poison could spill out.
After a final agonizing struggle, Sigourney's hands slowly went limp.
Certain that she was dead, Savannah turned away and walked out, but not without a final glance.
After all, her sister had always treated her well.
If there was anything to blame, just blame Sigourney always had been luckier than her.
"Goodbye."
Although Sigourney was extremely worried, she forced herself to stay calm. Through her sobs, she fumbled for her phone in her handbag and called the hospital, her voice choked as she reported Theodore's condition.It wasn't until the doctor confirmed that the information had been received and that staff would be ready to meet Theodore upon arrival at the hospital that the weight on Sigourney's shoulders eased, if only temporarily."Could you drive a little faster?""The situation with Theodore is critical."Sigourney's voice carried a note of panic, her eyes still glistening with tears. She urged the driver hurriedly, and he quickly accelerated.Upon arriving at the hospital, doctors swiftly appeared and rushed Theodore into the emergency room. Sigourney waited anxiously outside, each passing minute stretching into tense seconds.She was nearly exhausted, unable to believe that a press conference that had started with joy had ended in such chaos. She sat silently outside, her stomach
When Sigourney stepped off the stage, the hall remained bustling with activity. Many people approached her to converse, congratulate her, and gradually discuss the upcoming collaborative projects.Throughout it all, Sigourney remained the same, maintaining a gentle smile at the corners of her lips. Yet, for some reason, as time passed, a vague sense of discomfort in her heart grew stronger.Theodore, perceptive as ever, noticed immediately and began to rub her back. Then, he leaned close to Sigourney's ear and whispered:"Darling, you're feeling unwell, aren't you?""Do you want to leave a little earlier? Go home and rest comfortably?"Theodore's low, soothing voice was accompanied by eyes that never left Sigourney, filled with concern. Sigourney gently rubbed her belly and shook her head."No need, I'm fine.""It's probably just that standing and talking all day has tired me. Later, I'll rest a bit at home and it'll be fine."Though Sigourney said this, Theodore still couldn't shake
Early next week,before the press conference introducing the new CEO of Nichols Corporation,for some reason, Sigourney felt extremely tense.On top of that, her stomach ached faintly and felt uncomfortable, as though the baby inside her was also reminding her that something unusual was about to happen.On the way with Sigourney to the hotel where the press conference was to be held, Theodore anxiously rubbed her back and belly without pause."Are you okay, darling?""Should we postpone the press conference to another day?""I don't think you look very well."Theodore was not wrong. At that moment, Sigourney's face was pale, drained of all color, her lips slightly ashen, and from time to time she bent down in pain, clutching her stomach. Her frail appearance made it unbearable for Theodore to let her attend the press conference at all.Sigourney forced herself to sit steadily in the back seat, managing a faint smile to reassure Theodore."It's alright, I'm fine," she said softly."It
The flagship project in City D could be called the most arduous undertaking Nichols Corporation had ever faced to date.The project's investor was a corporation, both exacting and perfectionist. They had rejected Nichols Corporation's proposal a total of three times, with no sign of stopping. The members of the project team could be said to be utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.For the past three weeks, they had been working overtime late into the night, and every morning they came to work with faces marked by sheer weariness.After finishing her words, Sigourney slowly began assigning tasks."Dawn, you're the Chief Financial Officer, so take charge of forecasting the project's profits, costs, as well as the payback period. After all, the reason our plan has been rejected three times lies in these very aspects."She added,"At the same time, you will directly oversee the project's finances and develop a plan to control expenditures, to ensure the budget agreed upon by th
