Chapter 9

작가: Genius Dragon
All my daily necessities were no longer restricted, from food and clothing to housing and transportation. I wore beautiful dresses again. I also no longer had to wake up early and run to school just to save a dollar on bus fare.

Neither did I need to wrestle stray dogs in garbage dumps over a relatively clean dinner roll.

I rode in luxury cars, slung a brand-new backpack over my shoulder, and returned to school as the heiress of the Stones.

Everything was different from my past life. I finally enjoyed what I was always meant to have, no longer worrying about filling my stomach, scrimping over pennies, and bowing my head under classmates’ bullying.

As I walked into the classroom dressed in fine clothes, I saw the long-lost panic and fear on the faces of those who had once bullied me. Those expressions were exactly the ones that used to belong to me.

I had, however, promised my father that I would no longer harm others.

That said, it didn’t mean I couldn’t use others to do it fo

  • The Oleander Reborn   Chapter 11

    “Now, either you go to prison and lose your shares, which will automatically be transferred to me, and I’ll fight those old fools to the bitter end, or you step in to eliminate them, and you remain as chairman.”I sat on the sofa, my gaze angled toward him.“What say you?”…Two weeks later, my father officially dissolved the board of directors. He repurchased all the shares from those shareholders and expelled them from the company.Sitting in the now-empty conference room, I saw that deep sense of defeat in his eyes once more. “Well? I’ve offended everyone there is to offend. Are you satisfied now?”I neither confirmed nor denied it, and instead sat calmly beside him.“I heard you bought a ten-million-dollar apartment downtown last year.”Smiling warmly, I added, “I’m your daughter, the older sister of that little b*stard. Why wasn’t I invited to celebrate the birth of your son?”He jolted upright, his face instantly drained of color.“How did you find out?”“If I want t

  • The Oleander Reborn   Chapter 10

    In my final year of elementary school, I was admitted to the only elite youth program in the country, and secured a university admission that same year by ranking first in my class.I turned down opportunities to study abroad, instead opting for a prestigious university near home and becoming its youngest undergraduate.That day, my father reserved the largest hotel in the city to host my graduation banquet.Dressed to the nines, I raised a glass of juice and thanked all the relatives who came to celebrate me. From the corner of my eye, I caught sight of my father’s arm slipping around his new secretary’s waist.That vixen turned her head and flashed him a seductive smile, gently clinking her juice glass against my father’s wine glass.I calmly averted my gaze, but the tension in my clenched jaw betrayed my anger.A dog, after all, never changed its taste for filth.That night, after the banquet ended, my father’s new secretary was rushed to the hospital. Several drunken son

    This video attracted a wave of famous antique-appraisal influencers into the discussion, lamenting that I had ruined a museum-worthy treasure.With just two videos, coupled with the direct verification from those influencers, my follower count soared toward the two-million mark. The painting-burning video even rocketed onto the trending lists. While the earnings from short-video platforms were nowhere near as lucrative as extorting classmates, at least I no longer had to worry about putting food on the table. Just as the buzz around those two videos began to fade, I released another that instantly claimed the top spot on the trending list.The third video was nothing special but footage of someone driving a vehicle. The driver, though, was a girl under ten years of age, who had to crane her neck just to see the road ahead from the driver’s seat.The comments exploded with mentions of local police departments and traffic authorities, generating more heat than the first two vide

    All of my switchblades were confiscated, and my father finally sat down to lay out the three rules with me. I was forbidden from bullying my classmates, damaging public property, and doing anything that could harm others. In exchange, no matter how I chose to make money from then on, he would not interfere.When I nodded without hesitation and agreed, the look on his face clearly showed he had a bad feeling about this. I could see the fear of the unknown in his eyes, but I wasn’t about to let him off that easily.There were three most terrifying kinds of people in this world: lunatics, women, and children.Lunatics operated on chaotic logic, often acting irrationally; unbound by reason, morality, and law.Women, often driven by emotion, may lash out in an extreme way when provoked, such as cheating to retaliate against her husband’s betrayal, or choosing mutual destruction in a fit of rage.Children, lacking a fully formed worldview and moral framework, acted purely on insti

    “You’re this young and already starting fires? Keep this up, and you’ll be saying hello to delicious prison meals!”I looked utterly aggrieved but held my head high, refusing to apologize. “I did nothing wrong. I was just making money. What’s so wrong with that?”He exploded with rage, cursing immediately, “Making money? Is this how you f*cking make money?“You set the principal’s office on fire and still claim you did nothing wrong?”I remained stubborn. “I did nothing wrong. But if you want to punish me, I’ll take it.”“You burned the principal’s office. And that’s still not wrong?”“Yes, I did that. But I did it to make more money.”My father’s eyelid twitched, and a sudden sense of dread crept in. “Pray tell. What does making money have to do with burning down the principal’s office?”“Dad, if you were in business and did something others wanted to do but were too afraid to, what would happen?”He jolted upright from his chair, his gaze locking onto mine.“Who taught
