In a large beautiful, well-lit room, Minka sat on a chair by a large mirror, slowly combing through her hair with a calm smile on her face.
Suddenly, there was a loud knock on her door.
~Bam. Bam. Bam.~
"Sis, are you up yet? There's something I need to talk to you about."
Listening to the coquettish voice, Minka's eyes turned colder.
Speak of the devil, Minka.
Soon, the knocks become even more violent and impatient.
~BAM. BAM. BAM. BAM. BAM~~~
"Sis, it's serious. I need to talk to you now. Open the door!
Minka! Why are you always so selfish?
I urgently need to talk to you, so why won't you open the door?"
The voice was starting to sound more and more annoying in Minka's ears.
'Oh my dear sister, you just knocked once, and you expect me to fly to the door?
Heh. I must have been too stupid in my past life not to see the signs.' Minka thought before slowly getting up and elegantly walking towards the door.
As Evelyne was about to knock on the door, Minka suddenly opened it, stunning her.
She looked at Evelyn, who was trying to hold in her anger and inwardly chuckled.
She was back!
..
She looked at the cute gel before her calmly: "Yes, sister?"
Evelyn, who had her hand up, ready to knock again, froze on the spot when the door was opened so abruptly.
She also was confused and slightly taken aback by Minka's tone.
Wasn't this her sister who would always coax her when she made a fuss?
Why isn't she doing that now?
Evelyn felt very awkward and tried to calm her nerves down a bit.
She quickly adjusted her emotions and looked at Minka pitifully while storming into the room and sitting on Minka's bed.
"Sis, you're not angry at me for anything, right?"
"No."
"Great! I knew my sister would never be mad at me.
Anyway, we just fired the maid you hired.
So you have to make breakfast today."
Minka just stood there, looking at Evelyne calmly.
At this point, she honestly thought that she of the past truly deserved to die.
How did she not see through all these people? It's not enough to pay all their bills, but she also cooked for them every week before going to work.
They would fire all maids she hired on a weekly basis, making it hard for anyone to work here.
Because of this, her house was labelled as a demon castle to all employees in the city.
Funny enough, her family would tell outsiders that she was the one who was too overbearing.
They would say she let money get into her head and wasn't humble anymore.
But in her past life, she truly loved them. So she took all the blame.
She also thought they were hard on her to show a better example for Evelyn and Leo.
But sadly, she guessed she was wrong.
Evelyn felt very uncomfortable under Minka's calm gazes.
"Sis, why don't you hurry along and cook now?"
"No."
Eh?
Eveline couldn't believe her ears.
Since when did this bitch deny her anything?
How dare she say No?
They did a favour picking her up from the gutters.
And she couldn't even cook for them?
What an ungrateful wench!
Countless questions stormed through Evelyn's mind in a heartbeat.
Was the b**ch mad at them?
Who the hell did she think she was?
How dare she turn her down?
Evelyn truly wanted to snap back at Minka but decided not to.
'No. I can't get lash out now. There's still something we need done!' Evelyn thought silently before staring at Minka suspiciously.
"Sis, did we do something to make you mad at us?"
"Evelyn, how can I be mad?
It's just that I'm too tired from working late last night. And I seem to have a little cold. Yet, no one asked how I was.
Evelyn... Am I not your sister as well?"
Evelyn panicked a little and answered hurriedly: "Of course you are. Don't mind me, sis. I'm just a little muddle-headed, that's all. Well, since you're stressed, you don't need to worry about cooking. I'll explain it to mom and dad for you."
Evelyn observed Minka and saw that although she acted strangely today, she did look somewhat weak and fatigued.
So she was sulking because no one noticed that she was ill?
Well, it did make sense. But why should they care about a maid?
Evelyn secretly looked at her in disdain.
How could this dumb girl know of her family's genius plans?
In her mind, although Minka was book smart, she was stupidly dumb when it came to personal relationships.
Heh. What an idiot!
...
Evelyn plastered a sweet smile on her face while gazing at Minka lovingly: "Sis, your lawyer came over today and wanted us to remind you about the importance of a will. And you know what? I think he's right."
A will?
Minka sneered.
It wasn't even up to a day since she returned from the dead, and they were already talking about her Will?
Heh. Only now did she realize that her greedy family had always been impatient to do away with her.
Minka smiled broadly: "Don't worry, sis. I'll write it soon."
Evelyns eyes sparkled in glee.
"That's good news!
You should do that fast for the security of your company and its future."
With that, Evelyne left after hearing what she wanted.
She probably rushed away to tell the good news to her parents.
In her past life, she always rejected the thought of a Will because she just felt that it was unnecessary at the time.
But when she finally turned 28, she finally succumbed to her parents, boyfriend and her lawyer.
And just a month after writing her Will, she died.
So the only thing that kept her alive all those years was her Will.
She worked hard to make her family comfortable, but they worked even harder to kill her… Is this what people meant by the circle of life?
Well, this time, she was done believing in fairytales and happily ever afters.
It's true what they say… The good never live for long, but the bad live the longest.
This time, she would protect all the people she loved from her vicious family.
Minka massaged her chin calmly while going through her plans.
And just when she was drawn into her one little world, her phone suddenly rang loudly.
~Ring~~~
She calmly retrieved her phone from her table and answered the call.
"I need a favour."
"Anything," Said a deep devilish manly voice.
"Alright. I'll text you the details... And, thank you."
"Hmhm."
With that, Minka placed her phone away with a cruel smile on her face.
This time, she would make everyone pay!
