Rise to Power, Almighty Queen Chapter 16
That night, Charles and Nancy had a huge fight. Charles furiously accused Nancy of cheating, and instead of showing any remorse, Nancy lashed back at him.She called him incompetent and weak, then blamed him for not earning enough or securing ownership of the house. She even threw in the fact that Amy was now in prison because of him.The argument escalated, and soon, they were physically fighting.In the heat of the moment, Nancy accidentally pushed Charles down the stairs. His head hit the corner of the wall with a sickening thud, and blood poured out.Charles was rushed to the hospital, where his life was saved. However, he fell into a coma and was left in a vegetative state, condemned to spend the rest of his days bedridden.Nancy, on the other hand, was charged with intentional injury.To avenge Charles, I spared no expense to hire a top lawyer and ensured she was convicted. She was sentenced to 20 years in prison, meaning she would likely spend the rest of her life behind b

To be honest, the people I called my parents weren't my biological parents. Instead, they were my uncle, Charles Brown, and his wife, Nancy Baker. My sister wasn't my biological sister, either. She was my cousin, Amy Brown.I was an orphan.An accident had killed my parents when I was 14. Other people would probably assume that such things only happened in the news or some TV drama.However, this accident had actually happened in my life, and it had even taken place on my birthday.My parents had been on a business trip out of the city, and they had taken the trouble to drive all the way back home to celebrate my birthday.Halfway through their journey, a large truck transporting coal collided with a car, causing the truck to overturn.My parents' car had just so happened to be driving past. The overturned truck had fallen toward my parents' car along with the mountain of coal it was carrying. In an instant, my parents' small car had been crushed and buried under the coal.My da

I gritted my teeth before forcing a sweet smile on my face. I said, "I'm fine with sleeping in the living room. My parents' photos are placed in the living room, anyway, so I'll pretend they're keeping me company. But…"I was hesitant to speak. Nancy frowned a little as she looked at me, prodding, "But what?"I whispered, "Aunt Nancy, I read in a book that you're not supposed to use a dead person's belongings. It's really bad luck! Look, my mom's photo is looking right at you!"I extended my hand and pointed at the photos of my parents placed next to the TV in the living room.When Nancy heard that, she looked up to find that she was meeting the gaze of the person in the photo. Startled, she looked like she wasn't interested in the high-end skincare products anymore. She shoved them aside in disdain.I subtly turned up the corners of my lips, deciding to add more fuel to the fire.I went to the living room and retrieved the first aid kit stored there. Taking out a tube of ointmen

"But Uncle Charles, Amy just said that I was the reason my parents died. She might be right. I don't want to get you and your family in trouble too," I said, biting my lip and trying to look as pitiful as possible.Fearing that I might actually get the guardianship rights revoked, Charles hastily glared at Amy and shouted angrily, "Amy, apologize to Julia right now! I'll teach you a lesson if you say those things again!"Amy was Charles and Nancy's only daughter and the apple of their eye, so of course, Charles' harsh tone startled her. Her eyes instantly reddened as she began sobbing pitifully. She said stubbornly, "No way! She really does bring bad luck, and she'll be the death of our family!"When I heard that, I pursed my lips and put on an even sadder expression. I lamented, "It's all my fault, Uncle Charles. I don't think you should take me in, after all. Just leave me alone to fend for myself."In his panic, Charles raised his hand and slapped Amy across the face. He shouted

That night, I curled up under a blanket and spent the night on the couch. The couch was too narrow, so I woke up several times from the cold to look for my blanket which had fallen onto the floor.The next day, my whole body was sore and in pain.Before daybreak, I went out with my bag on my shoulders. I got on a bus and had to make several transfers before I arrived at my Aunt Elizabeth's place.Even from a distance away, I could see Elizabeth with the child carrier as she carried my baby cousin, who wasn't even a year old, on her back.She was pushing her cart full of breakfast wraps as she walked out the door.It was summer then, and the heat was unbearable. She hadn't taken more than a few steps when her forehead was already full of sweat.I called out to her from behind, "Aunt Elizabeth!"Elizabeth looked at me in surprise. She probably didn't want me to witness her predicament, for she tried to send me away after getting an egg-filled breakfast wrap from her cart and stuff

When everything was over, Amy and her lackeys gleefully walked away.I crouched in a corner. When they had gone out of sight, I slowly made my way back to the classroom.I committed their appearances to memory, making sure to remember the faces of Amy's two lackeys.In the days that followed, I carefully minded my behavior so that Amy wouldn't have a chance to pick on me.At the same time, I secretly observed the habits of Amy's two lackeys.One of the lackeys, Anna Clark, was a mobile game addict and didn't care for her studies. However, she lacked skill, so she seemed to be forever stuck in the Diamond rank in the game.The other lackey, Betsy Turner, was trying to improve in her studies, but she failed all her subjects, and she couldn't even turn in her homework sometimes.It was easy to deal with people once their weaknesses were located.I thought, "Amy, it's about time I give you a taste of your own medicine."During a break, Anna went to the bathroom, and I followed sui

After school, I asked Anna to keep Amy distracted while I got Betsy to meet me alone in the school field.When Betsy realized that it was me, her expression shifted. "So, it was you who bribed Anna?" she asked."That's not a very nice way to put it. I just think of Anna as someone I can genuinely be friends with," I replied calmly."Quit playing tricks with me. I'm not Anna, so I won't fall for your tricks. Amy and I are best friends, and we're super close to each other," Betsy said, glaring at me warily. "I'm telling Amy that you're trying to bribe me."She turned around to leave.I called out to her, "What's the rush? You think of her as a best friend, but what about her? Give me a few minutes. I have something to show you." I took out the voice recorder in my pocket. Then, I pressed the play button.For some reason, Betsy paused in her footsteps.Amy's and Anna's voices rang out from the voice recorder. "Amy, who are you closer to? Me or Betsy?" Anna had asked.Amy had repli

The next day, Amy made her way toward me after school. Then, she forcefully rammed into me.I hadn't even said anything when she shouted arrogantly at me, "Look where you're going, Julia! You bumped into me!"I frowned a little. Then, I simply stepped aside to avoid her."Stop right there! Are you going to just walk away after bumping into someone? I want you to kneel and apologize to me!" Amy shouted as she suddenly pulled me back. Her eyes were filled with malice.I finally realized what she was trying to do. Bumping into me was just an excuse. Anna and Betsy were right. Amy had put on this show just for me.I didn't get mad at that thought. Instead, I said in a pitiful and helpless tone, "You want me to kneel in front of the whole class just because I bumped into you? Isn't that a little too much, Amy? I'm even your family! If you have any complaints about me, just tell me. I can change my ways."Amy spat and said mockingly, "Oh, you're backing off now? Where has that high-and
