Chapter 8
I ignored him and walked straight into the elevator.
The elevator door slowly closed, isolating his face full of shock and regret.
For the next half month, Sophia and Daniel became the laughing stock of the whole
school.
The “nest” of babies in her belly grew very fast. In just two months, her belly was as big as that of a pregnant woman about to give birth.
There was no way she could give birth to a healthy child to get the bonus, so all the suffering she endured on the cruise ship was in vain.
Even the photos on the cruise ship were exposed, causing a sensation.
She was forced to take a leave of absence from school and kicked out of the dormitory.
Her parents rushed over from the countryside, and when they learned that she was pregnant before marriage and didn’t even know who the father of the child was, they beat and scolded her, calling her a shameless money-loser. Finally, they threw down a few hundred dollars and left without looking back.
Sophia was completely deserted and left with nothing.
The only one who still stayed by her side was Daniel.
He seemed to be stimulated by my words. In order to prove his deep love, he dropped out of school, rented a small house near the hospital, and took care of Sophia day and night.
In other words, he was still expecting Sophia to exchange the child for the bonus so that he could get a share of it.
I studied step by step, participated in competitions, and my life got back on track.
Until one night, I received a strange phone call.
On the other end of the line was Sophia’s weak and resentful voice.
“Emily, are you feeling very proud now?”
I frowned and wanted to hang up the phone.
“Don’t hang up!” She seemed to have guessed my thoughts and shouted anxiously, “Emily, I know it’s you! It’s you who made me like this! That Blood Knot Charm, you must have done something with it!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“You’re still pretending!” Sophia’s voice became shrill. “That Occultist from New Orleans said that the Blood Knot Charm will transfer the damage I suffered to you, along with the child! Once you touch the Blood Knot Charm, it will take effect!”
“Originally, I could have gotten a huge bonus without having to endure any pain, but you ruined it! You bitch!”
I sneered in my heart.
Yes, I touched the Blood Knot Charm.
It’s a pity that she didn’t expect that I would be reborn. The first thing I did after my rebirth was to have a sterilization operation, which completely cut off her way to frame me.
“Sophia, it’s your own choice, why do you blame others? I let you go on a cruise to make quick money?”
“I don’t care!” She screamed hysterically, “Emily, you have to be responsible for me! You have to give me money! Five hundred thousand dollars! No, one million dollars! Otherwise, I will expose everything! Tell everyone that you used evil magic to harm me! Let everyone know that you are a vicious monster!”
I was amused by her shameless logic.
“Do you think anyone will believe it?”
“They will!” Sophia’s voice was filled with crazy confidence. “I will tell them that you cast the Voodoo Curse on me because you were jealous of me! Look at you now, you won a prize in the competition, and you are favored by Senior Lucas, but what about me? I am ruined! All this is because of you! Emily, if you don’t give me the money, I will let you have a taste of what I am feeling now!”
“By the way, does Lucas know about your hospitalization for corpus luteum rupture? It’s not difficult for me to fabricate something. I will drag you to hell with me!”
I was silent.
I have no doubt that given Sophia’s madness, she would really do such a thing.
Although absurd, rumors are enough to kill people.
Wasn’t that how I was ruined in my previous life?
