…Until I saw my uncle uploading a video of him buying a luxury car in the family group.
Gary Thompson, my uncle, and his entire family were deadbeats. They had no money and usually had to borrow money from their relatives. How could he possibly have any money to buy a luxury car?!
I visited Laura and was just in time to see her open the letter of acceptance to an Ivy League university, even though she was someone whose grades were so bad that she could not even get into high school!
When she saw me, Laura asked smugly, “Anya, why are you in such a miserable state? It’s no wonder why Adam dumped you. If I were him, I wouldn’t want you either.”
I ignored her mockery and went straight to the point. “How did Uncle Gary get the money to buy his car? I thought he’s a deadbeat.”
Laura’s expression instantly changed. She placed her hands on her hips and yelled at me. “What’s the meaning of this, Anya?! Are you jealous of other people living good lives just because your father passed away?!
“What my family buys has nothing to do with you! You’re definitely just jealous because you’re an orphan now!
“I’ve never seen someone with a heart as evil as yours! It’s your own fault that your entire family died!”
Laura’s words cut into my heart like knives. It hurt so much that I wanted to scream.
Once Laura chased me out, I went to the elevator while my head was still swimming, but I made a misstep and fell.
My corpse was only discovered a few months after my death.
By then, Laura had already married Adam. Both of them opened a company and soon became the richest couple in the area.
That thought made me gnash my teeth in anger.
“Anya, I still have some business to take care of. I have to leave now. Enjoy the food. I won’t be bothering you two anymore.”
Laura grabbed her handbag and gave Adam a look.
Adam immediately stood up and said, “Sure, we won’t be keeping you.”
“Anya, I only managed to buy that gramophone after visiting a lot of shops. You have to give the record a listen when you’re back home,” said Laura before she left.
I nodded with a smile.
In less than two minutes after she left, Adam answered a phone call in a seemingly nonchalant fashion. “Do I have to leave now? But I’m in the middle of something.”
That person said something, and Adam gave me a troubled look.
