LOGINImprisoned by her half-sister, forced to sign the inheritance transfer papers, and before her death, she even learned that her mother had been harmed long ago. Sigourney Nichols departed this world in blood and resentment... Until she opened her eyes again-six months earlier when the tragedy had only just begun. Her mother was still alive, her husband was still by her side, and her half-sister was the same as ever, scheming to drive a wedge between them. She had thought she could easily change everything and take her revenge, but she was still a little late in being reborn-her husband already believed she had betrayed him! Fine... Coax the husband first, then take revenge!
View MoreSavannah Nichols opened the door and stepped into the dark room, reaching out to flip the switch. Instantly, the room lit up.
She lifted her eyes toward the old, worn-out bed and curled her lips into a cruel smile.
On the bed, Sigourney Nichols lay writhing in agony and pain.
She kept struggling to break free from the two shackles tightly clamping her wrists, but with her current frail strength, it was utterly impossible.
Her eyes, filled with resentment, glared at her younger sister as if she wanted to devour her alive.
She never imagined that the person she loved most, the one closest to her, would be the very one to bring her to this wretched state.
Savannah closed the door and slowly approached the bed. She reached out, pulled away the cloth gagging Sigourney's mouth, then calmly dragged a chair nearby and sat down.
"Cough... A..." Sigourney coughed violently, choked with rage.
Savannah placed a glass cup on the bedside table, then gripped Sigourney's chin firmly, lifting it up.
"Sister, why don't you know how to stay in your place?"
Despite her dire situation, despite her utter helplessness to resist, Sigourney steadied herself and responded coldly:
"You bitch! I don't have a sister like you!"
Her eyes welled up, turning red, but she forced herself not to shed tears.
Because only now, too late, did she finally realise-the sweet, affectionate little sister who always clung to her, the one she trusted completely-this was her true face. And in return for that trust, this was the outcome she received?
That all-too-familiar innocent smile once again appeared on Savannah's deceitful face.
"I've been taking such good care of you for a whole month, yet every day you keep cursing me like this?"
Good care? What a joke. Sigourney let out a derisive chuckle and turned her face away.
After deceiving her into getting a divorce, Savannah orchestrated Sigourney's supposed "death" and imprisoned her here.
Of course, by now, no one knew she was still alive. Over a month had passed-surely, her grave was covered in green grass by now.
Every day, she received Savannah's so-called "care"-meals even dogs wouldn't touch.
Various dishes, ranging from raw meat to rotting flesh, from vegetables left out for two or three nights until they became slimy and reeked of a putrid stench.
That was what Sigourney had been forced to eat for the past month.
And that wasn't all.
Her delicate body was now covered in bruises and wounds, black and blue patches marring her skin.
The bed she lay on was electrically charged-so with every meal, she had to endure an extra "dessert" of bone-deep convulsions.
Escape was impossible. Even suicide was out of the question. The only thing she could do was grit her teeth and endure.
This would end. It had to end.
But the ending awaiting Sigourney would be more wretched than any miserable fate she could have imagined.
And her "dear little sister" had never once let her go hungry. How... very "thoughtful" of her.
Savannah reached for the glass on the table, gently swirling it so that whatever was inside could dissolve more quickly.
"Today, you won't be under my care anymore. Are you sad, sister?"
Sigourney froze. She had already guessed what Savannah intended to do, and she struggled even harder.
"You can't do this... Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
"Haaa... If I were afraid, then by now, you'd be happily living with your husband. Oh, wait-no. He's about to become my husband. Should I thank you for being so stupid?"
Yesterday, Sigourney had been forced to agree to Savannah's demand. That was the reason she had suffered through over a month of torture, teetering between life and death.
She had to sign over all her inheritance rights to Savannah. Of course, she refused at first-hence her current miserable state.
But just yesterday, she had no choice but to yield to save her mother.
All the suffering she had endured over the past month had been in vain.
Sigourney and Savannah were half-sisters. Savannah was the daughter of their father's concubine, so the inheritance she received after their father's passing was nothing compared to even one per cent of what Sigourney owned.
Savannah pulled out a pre-prepared document from the drawer. It was fully written out, only missing one thing-Sigourney's signature.
One of the shackles was unlocked. Sigourney clenched the pen tightly, hesitating, unwilling to sign.
"Look here."
Seeing Sigourney's hesitation, Savannah turned on a video call and held the phone up before her.
A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the room.
Sigourney thrashed wildly and screamed in panic:
"Mom!! You beast, let my mother go!"
"If you don't sign, I'm afraid she won't live much longer."
Without hesitation, Sigourney quickly scrawled her signature. Savannah picked up the document, scanning it with satisfaction before smirking.
Then she lifted the phone, and her truly sinister voice finally rang out:
"Kill her."
The call ended in a split second.
Sigourney's entire body jolted. She went mad with rage.
"You lied to me! I'll kill you!"
"If the mother is dead, then the daughter shouldn't be alive either. Don't you think?"
With that, Savannah poured the glass of liquid into Sigourney's mouth, gripping her jaw tightly so not a single drop of poison could spill out.
After a final agonizing struggle, Sigourney's hands slowly went limp.
Certain that she was dead, Savannah turned away and walked out, but not without a final glance.
After all, her sister had always treated her well.
If there was anything to blame, just blame Sigourney always had been luckier than her.
"Goodbye."
With that, Venus calmly pulled out her phone, calling the police and clearly reporting the events that had just taken place.Meanwhile, Sigourney still stood stunned, shaken by Jennifer's sudden attack. She glanced down at the knife glinting coldly on the pavement and shuddered.Truly, Jennifer was vicious beyond measure.She had aimed straight for Sigourney's belly, fully aware Sigourney was pregnant.Sigourney clenched her fists in outrage, forcing herself to remain composed. Her voice was icy as she fixed her gaze on Jennifer."Jennifer, why do you try to harm me?""In the end, what have I done wrong?""It was your husband and your daughter who tried to ruin me, and I merely struck back. Was that wrong?"That hit a raw nerve with Jennifer. She thrashed wildly, even stamping hard on Tony's foot until he winced in pain. Still, he did not let go. Instead, he held her tighter while they waited for the police to arrive."Hmph, and you still dare say that? Is it all because of you that
After embracing Venus, Sigourney returned to her office to deal with the pending matters. She had been working from home for quite some time, so there was still much that required her direct attention.By the time she was finished, it was already noon. Since it was her first day back at work, she had arranged to have lunch with Venus and the two bodyguards at a nearby restaurant.After the morning together, Sigourney had grown a little more accustomed to Hugh and Tony. Their faces might have appeared stern, but their personalities were actually rather approachable and easygoing. They were also very gallant.As soon as they sat down, they carefully pulled out chairs for her and Venus. Throughout the meal, Hugh and Tony were attentive, pouring water and handing them napkins. The atmosphere could even be considered harmonious.Once the meal was over, Sigourney and Venus walked ahead, while Hugh and Tony followed behind. Their expressions returned to cold vigilance, scanning the surround
...By evening, when Theodore returned home, Sigourney quickly recounted the morning's events. His gaze immediately grew grave."Is that true? How dare Jennifer be so brazen?"Jennifer's vileness had indeed surpassed anything Theodore or Sigourney could have imagined. Thinking of the shock and lingering fear Sigourney had suffered that afternoon, Theodore's heart ached with sorrow.He held Sigourney carefully in his arms, murmuring words of comfort."Don't be afraid, it's alright now.""From now on, I'll remind Aunt Miller never to accept strange parcels from unknown senders.""We won't give Jennifer another chance to play her tricks."Sigourney nodded, her anxious heart gradually steadying. She also knew that hiding forever was no solution."Starting tomorrow, I'll go to Nichols Corporation and work as usual.""After all, hiding is not the answer."Jennifer always managed to find ways to get close and do her harm. Sigourney spoke resolutely, silently making up her mind.However, The
A few days later, out of lingering worry, Sigourney obediently stayed at home to recuperate, giving her body ample rest.Theodore, however, continued to go to the corporation each day as usual.One morning, while Sigourney was lazily sprawled across the sofa, snacking on grapes, the doorbell suddenly rang. She made a move to get up and open it, but Aunt Miller hurried forward to stop her."Let me get the door. You just keep resting."Sigourney nodded gently and remained reclined on the sofa.A short while later, Aunt Miller returned, carrying a strange parcel in her hands. She glanced at Sigourney, looking somewhat surprised, and said,"I don't know who sent this. The deliveryman couldn't give any clear information about the sender.""So I'm not sure whether we should open it."Sigourney sat up, and Aunt Miller joined her on the sofa. Though Sigourney was curious, she didn't dare act rashly."Have you ordered anything recently?""Or maybe a seller sent it but forgot to include their d
Sigourney was still trembling, but Theodore held her firmly in his arms. Hearing her words, he felt a surge of concern himself, instinctively casting a glance toward the door.Perhaps it had been Sigourney's fierce voice earlier that had scared the intruder away. Yet whatever their purpose, the fac
Although Sigourney was extremely worried, she forced herself to stay calm. Through her sobs, she fumbled for her phone in her handbag and called the hospital, her voice choked as she reported Theodore's condition.It wasn't until the doctor confirmed that the information had been received and that
As every gaze gradually shifted toward Sigourney, she calmly produced the share transfer agreement Emma had signed the day before and explained gently."As you all know, due to certain personal matters, my mom is no longer able to continue managing Nichols Corporation, nor participate in its busine
When Sigourney stepped off the stage, the hall remained bustling with activity. Many people approached her to converse, congratulate her, and gradually discuss the upcoming collaborative projects.Throughout it all, Sigourney remained the same, maintaining a gentle smile at the corners of her lips.
