All Chapters of Remorse After Her Death: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

When I received the diagnosis report for my brain tumor, Nicole was bombarding me with texts."I've got a pimple. Did you add extra sugar to the juice? You're dead meat.""Call Dr. Sarandon and drive me to the hospital in 15 minutes.""How dare you not reply to my messages? You're done for, Amber Olsen."Denise Sarandon was a dermatologist, and she had been my adopted sister's personal skincare doctor since she was young.I turned off my screen and stared blankly out the window. The doctor's words kept replaying in my mind, "You have glioblastoma, and it's already at stage four. Where is your family? You should ask them to come."In a few minutes, Nicole called me three times in a row after getting no reply from me still. I refused to pick up and silently counted down in my mind. "Three… Two… One…"Then, my mom, Maya Conelly—who initially had me blocked on her phone—called my number."You've gotten bold, Amber. Nicole's been texting and calling you. How dare you not pick up her

However, my mom's deep-rooted prejudice against me was just as real. Even after I had accepted the reality that my parents didn't love me, they still found countless ways to reinstate this truth over and over again.I opened my mouth but swallowed the words I wanted to say. No amount of explanation would change anything. All it would earn me was endless insults."Mom, I think Amber designed this necklace herself. Isn't it pretty? And the diamond—it seems to be made from the fur of that old cat of ours," Nicole said with feigned innocence."What?" My mom frowned in disgust. "That cat's been dead for such a long time. This necklace must be filthy. Throw it away, Nikki. I'll buy you ten better ones at the next auction, okay?""No!" I exclaimed inwardly.I didn't know where I found the strength, but I pushed past the maids holding me back and lunged forward to snatch the necklace from Nicole's hands."Ah!" Nicole let out a dramatic scream and pretended to fall to the ground.With a

Dad adjusted his glasses, visibly irritated. "Playing the same trick once is annoying enough as it is. She's pulling the same trick again. What did she do to make you go along with her and help her deceive us?"The officer was exasperated as he replied, "Why would I joke about something like this? Your daughter's body was cremated! We even have the footage from the accident scene!"He then showed Dad and Mom the video. They glanced at the computer with impatient expressions, but as the footage played, they saw my figure clearly on the screen.At the end of the video, the ground—stained a dark red with blood—was littered with the mangled remains of my body.When the video ended, they were stunned. Unable to believe what they'd just seen, they grabbed the mouse and replayed the footage from the beginning.They watched it again. And again.After three times, Mom's legs trembled, and her breathing grew labored.Clutching Dad's sleeve tightly, her face contorted with desperation. "Th

"It's the cancer's final stage, and it's pretty much incurable."Bryce's phone slipped out of his hand. His head was spinning.After a while, Bryce slowly regained consciousness. Blood trickled from a cut on his forehead that was made when he knocked his head against the marble tabletop earlier.With a glazed look in her eyes, Maya clutched the diary tightly to her chest. She fixed Bryce with a malevolent gaze as he stood up."Why didn't he just drop dead?" Maya hissed inwardly."Amber's ashes… That's right! Amber's ashes!" Bryce muttered to himself.His immense wealth was instrumental at times like these. In less than two hours, Bryce had arrived outside Renee's house and pressed the doorbell."Who is it?" Renee opened the door."I'm Amber's dad," Bryce said.Renee knitted her brows. She was about to shut the door right away."Wait!" Bryce stuck his hands in between the crack and tried to pull the door open. "I know you're Amber's friend. I'm here for her ashes. Can we pleas

Nicole had hired someone to do it.She wanted to get revenge on her enemies who had killed her parents by making them lose their child forever.At that point, the Olsen Corporation was on the brink of bankruptcy with other companies working together to bring them down. On the other hand, the Giles Group had already gone bankrupt.Nicole's assault had caused a certain level of damage to one of Bryce's kidneys.After Nicole's execution was carried out, Bryce's company went bankrupt as well. He donated whatever assets he had left to medical organizations for the research of drugs used in treating brain cancer.Bryce was left all by himself as he climbed up the mountain where my ashes were scattered, despite his weakened condition.He did nothing and just sat there, staring into space all day. Day after day, till the day he died.As for Maya, she lost her sanity after learning the truth. She would hold a doll all day and call out my name. She would often say things like…"Amber, Mo
