Judith Pate was driven out of the Pate family at fourteen years old and was sold to an illegal factory by her beloved brother. At that time, she thought she was dead. But she met a soldier who saved her. Therefore, she wanted to be alive and find this man. Four years later, she came back home as the most famous designer. For her, she had come from "hell", so there was nothing to fear and nothing to want. All she wanted to do were to revenge and find that soldier who had saved her.
At the end of June, a sudden rainstorm flooded the entire Cloud Sea City.
At the riverside on a rainy night, a car stopped in front of an inconspicuous cargo ship.
A man in a black raincoat got off, dragged a bloody girl out of the trunk, and threw her on the ground.
"Goods for you."
Tired of the waiting, the boatman found her half-dead and swore, "Damn, are you kidding me? How am I supposed to sell such a dying thing?"
"Judith Pate is no low-class goods that you can only sell her blood and kidneys."
The man pulled her hair, revealing her immature yet delicate face.
"Given her appearance and your connections, you can make a fortune by selling her to a noble family or at least, a brothel. This is a lucrative deal."
The boatman hadn't expected such fine goods, and a glint flashed across his eyes.
"Judith is the young lady of the Pate family. If people found out, we might spill the beans and give you away..."
The man sneered and tossed over a suitcase, "Here is 500,000 yuan in cash as your hush money. I don't care how you deal with her but will not see you again!"
"Loud and clear!"
Judith heard everything, struggled to open her eyes, and questioned the man with sobs, "Brother, why... why are you doing this to me..."
Not in her wildest dreams had she expected such a conspiracy on her 14th birthday party.
Her brother cut her tendons while her father and a strange woman just looked on.
"Why?"
All of a sudden, a gentle voice penetrated the rain and reached Judith's ears coldly.
"Because I'm the real lady of the Pate family!"
The comer was surprisingly her only friend, and the agony of betrayal made her squawk, "What do you mean?"
"My daddy and mommy are childhood sweethearts. If it were not for the wealth and power of the Pate family, how would he swallow his pride and live with a woman he didn't love for so many years, not to mention letting her bear his seed? That thing was ditched at her birth, and you're nothing but an impostor picked up from an orphanage!"
"I don't believe you!"
Judith couldn't help but scream, but Michele Pate laughed.
"So what? The patriarch of the Pate family has perished from hunger in his sickbed while that bitch has been killed by a beggar my mommy found. That little bastard should be long gone, and your end is also near! Your family is doomed, the Pate family now belongs to us, and you're no part of it!"
"Ingrates!" Judith snarled in disbelief and pain.
"These are originally ours!"
Michele grabbed an antique necklace around her neck and snapped, "You take it as a treasure ever since your childhood, but only I deserve it! Everything you own belongs to me! Ha ha..."
When Michele just exerted strength, Judith abruptly bit her hand.
Quick in reaction, Tim Pate kicked at Judith, but she borrowed the force and bit off Michele's finger.
"Ah! My hand!"
Michele screamed in pain. Tim paled and kicked at her fiercely.
If the boatman didn't intervene, Judith might have been killed on the spot.
As the dying Judith was dragged to the boat, she resentfully pawed at the ground, leaving a long bloodstain.
She glared at them with bloodshot eyes and cursed bitterly.
"You whitewash your greed and immorality like this. You'll pay! As long as I'm still alive, I'll fight it out with you!"
