I didn’t intend to cry, but when I heard him say those words, I couldn’t help but feel my eyes sting with tears.”
“Do you know? Actually, it was Femma and her mother who caused my mom’s death.”
This was the first time I shared the deep pain that had been buried in my heart.”
I was not really the obedient girl I appeared to be. I had been using my own resources, seeking revenge.}
It was Femma and her mother who caused my mom’s death.
My mom wouldn’t have fallen ill if it weren’t for them.”
It was Femma’s mother who interfered in my parents‘ marriage in order to become my father’s wife as soon as possible.
She pretended to be best friends with my mother. She also sent her a bunch of beautiful little stones, claiming they were gemstones from
the South Sea.
She even had them made into exquisite and beautiful jewelry. But in reality, those stones emitted strong radiation. My mother only wore that necklace for two months before being diagnosed with leukemia.
Later, my mother passed away. Femma’s mother got what she wanted and married my father. Then she gave birth to Femma, taking all of my father’s love. Even though I still had my father, I lived like an orphan.
That was the hardest year. To punish me, my stepmother even locked me in the basement and had the butler bring a strange man to assault me.}
They forcefully pulled at my hair, probably yanking out a big handful.
I was in so much pain that I couldn’t even feel it anymore, only numbness remained.}
It felt like several of my teeth were knocked out too. Because I didn’t obey and kept struggling desperately, they used violence to force me into submission.}
But I was stubborn to the core. That day, I didn’t even know where I found a brick.
I swung it straight at that man’s head and he passed out, bleeding heavily.
Things almost turned fatal and only then did my stepmother let me out, afraid that if the incident got out and my father found out, he would hold her responsible.
So she quietly covered the whole thing up.
But from that point on, she became increasingly wary of me.”
At first, Femma and I still had a bit of sisterly affection. She would follow me around every day, calling me “sister,” and even saved her favorite candies to share with me.
But behind the scenes, my stepmother was egging her on, little by little planting hatred in her heart.”
She told her that if it weren’t for me, everything in the Johnson Family would belong to Femma.
So, she began to see me as her enemy and started competing with me for everything.
It was the evil seed she sowed with her own hands. Naturally, it should be her daughter who reaped the bitter fruit.
After our honeymoon, Yosef and I returned home and began living a normal life.
He didn’t mind that I wasn’t working.
In fact, he was even afraid I’d get bored, so he handed over one of his companies for me to manage.
That day, I had just come downstairs when I suddenly noticed a suspicious figure lurking at the door.
Just as I reached for my phone in alarm, the person suddenly rushed out and cornered me against the wall. “Leona…”
It turned out to be Jude, dead drunk. His bloodshot eyes stared at me as he said, “Leona, did you know all along?” “Know what?” I was completely confused.]
He looked like a wronged little puppy, gazing at me pitifully. “You knew all along that Femma was exactly the kind of woman I hate the most, but you never exposed her in front of me. Did you do it on purpose? Just because I took revenge on you in our past life, you want to see me suffer in this one, right?”
Jude’s voice was slightly nasal from the alcohol, but still full of that familiar arrogance. He stepped forward and hugged me tightly and shockingly, tried to force a kiss on me.
“Are you crazy? Jude, I’m not your wife anymore! Take a good look at who I am now!”
