All Chapters of No More Lucky Star: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

The room went completely silent. I grabbed a handful of mud from the flowerpot and slapped it right onto Graham Baker's face.My dad froze while he was still holding me in his arms, his expression showing that he was on the verge of a breakdown.Everyone stared at each other in shock. Only Jade, my adopted sister, reacted—her eyes flickered with a hint of smugness. She let out a sharp scream and rushed over, her face full of concern. "Dad, are you okay? Mindy's always causing trouble."Graham angrily wiped the mud from his face and shoved me into the nanny's arms."The shaman said she's a lucky star, the bringer of fortune... Why is she acting like that so suddenly?"Jade bit her lip and muttered, "She's been born for a year now, but she hasn't brought us much luck. Maybe it's all a lie? The other day, she bit me while I was looking after her. She doesn't look like a prodigy at all. In fact, she..."My oldest brother, James, scoffed, "She's just a little demon! Mindy has been n

As soon as the words left the shaman's mouth, everyone shouted in unison, "That's impossible!"John was the most agitated. "You're just a lousy scammer! How can you lie so blatantly? Jade has lived with us for more than a decade. How can she possibly bring us bad luck?"His eyes were blazing, as if the shaman had accused him of being the bringer of misfortune instead. He stepped forward, ready to hit the shaman, but Graham held him back.Graham looked at the shaman suspiciously. "You said my youngest daughter would bring us good luck, but you never said Jade would be cursed. Now, the whole family is suffering because of Mindy. You owe me an explanation."Amanda's eyes reddened as she hugged Jade tightly. "We can't let anything happen to Jade! Please, find a way to break this curse!"The shaman waved his hand and shook his head. "Miss Mindy can only bring good luck to her blood relatives, and she's only two years old. Maybe it's because you kept forcing her to share her luck with

Sandy came in and scooped me up into her arms, her sharp gaze sweeping over the Bakers. "I happened to run into this girl and only now realize how miserable her life is. Even her parents don't care about her and left her alone in an alley. If you don't want her, then I'll raise her."Amanda's expression changed. "What's that supposed to mean, Mrs. Sandy?! No matter what happened, Mindy is still my daughter! It's not your place to interfere, especially when she's the reason Jade got kidnapped."At that, everyone turned their hateful eyes on me, as if they couldn't wait to tear me apart.Only Sandy touched my face gently and said, "She's just a child. As for the kidnapping... Maybe you should ask your beloved daughter."With a wave of her hand, Sandy played a video.On the screen, Jade was bossing around two middle-aged men. "Do what I told you, but don't hurt me, understand? Just find a way to swap me for Mindy. You can beat her as much as you want. I want her face ruined, her

The Bakers set up a dinner three days later, saying both families should sit down and clear things up. On the surface, the dinner looked like a peaceful meeting. In truth, everyone had their own hidden agenda where conflict would surely arise.On the day of the dinner, Sandy dressed me in a beautiful, well-fitting dress.As soon as Amanda saw me, her eyes turned red. She walked over and said softly, "Mindy, Mommy finally gets to see you. Have you been bullied while you were away?"I hid behind Sandy and told the truth, "No."Graham pointed at me angrily, "You ungrateful brat! We raised you, and now you run off just because someone else feeds you?"I looked up and retorted, "Sandy makes good food and gives me pretty clothes. The nanny at home only makes food Jade likes. All my clothes are Jade's hand-me-downs."The room went silent. No one could say a word.A flicker of regret flashed in Amanda's eyes. Meanwhile, Graham's face darkened, and he said, "If you want her for her luc

This time, the transfer went unusually smoothly. Not a single Baker stood in our way—they quietly cooperated and handed me to the Shaw family.I finally felt at peace when I saw the newly minted paperwork with my new name, Mindy Shaw.Deep down, I knew this was what it meant to truly change my fate. As part of the deal, I really did give the Bakers a stroke of good luck.But things never go as planned. The moment they received some leftover payment from a project to tide them over, their account was empty again the next day.Hundreds of thousands were gone in a flash, and after a chaotic investigation, they discovered that Jade had taken it.It turned out Jade had seen the writing on the wall and wanted to leave for a long time, but she didn't have any money. As soon as the family got a windfall, she took the chance to steal it all and tried to run away.Unfortunately, she was caught before leaving the country, but most of the money was still lost.My parents and brothers came t
