“Hah, see now?” The man suddenly patted Gia’s shoulder, causing her to shudder as a chill crawled up her back.

“Isn’t it ironic?” He continued, taunting her. “Gia, why is your luck so bad? Her adoptive parents treat her better than your own biological parents ever did! You went through all that trouble trying to hook a rich heir at school, and what happened?

“Enough!” Gia’s nerves were already raw from every word the man uttered, and she raised her head abruptly to glare at him. But fear overwhelmed her, causing her to retreat slowly, her trembling shoulders suppressing her resentment and anger.

The man smirked, patting her shoulder and whistling as he walked away, satisfied with the impact he had made.

It seemed Melvin was right. People like Gia, who couldn’t bear others’ happiness, would be their most powerful weapon.

“Mom, I’m here,” Renee whispered, her voice filled with love and sadness.

The woman on the hospital bed appeared pale, frail, and emaciated. It seemed that the only thing keeping her alive was the cold mask attached to her.
