Awakening of the Real Miss Rich: Abusing the Scum
Chapter 2
Yes, I awakened the bloodline of revenge and bound myself to a revenge system.
For eighteen years, I lived under the shadow of suffering.
At home, I was an unwelcome presence.
My adoptive mother, Mandy Ricardo, would scold me whenever she was in a bad mood.
My adoptive father, Troy Onions, who lost money at gambling and had nothing to drink or eat, would beat me, cursing me as a jinx, a burden, and a drain on the family's finances, wishing for my death
Even though I was obedient and well-behaved, they saw me as an unwanted nuisance, less valuable than even a dog.
The family dog got to eat meat, while I was left with cold, leftover food.
When I suffered from stomach pains so severe I could hardly breathe, begging them to take me to a doctor, I was only met with more scolding. They told me to endure and not make a fuss over trivial matters.
Outside the family, Belinda and her entourage tormented me every day, taking advantage of her family's status with reckless abandon.
Even if I was bullied a thousand or ten thousand times, no one came to my aid, nor was there any private consolation.
Each night, I curled up on the cold, hard bed, plagued by nightmares.
I felt like an orphan with nowhere to turn and no kin to rely on.
Under all this humiliation and suffering, I became mentally exhausted and deeply depressed, contemplating suicide. After enduring three hours of Mandy's and her vicious words, I, battered and broken, jumped into the icy river...
At the moment when the freezing water submerged me, and I was on the brink of suffocation, I was bound by the revenge system and became its host.
A single sentence from System touched me deeply.
"Host, the world is filled with injustice. Do not give up on yourself, nor try to end your life to escape the harm. Use your courage and strength to seek revenge instead!"
That day, I was filled with newfound strength and swam back to the shore with all my might.
When I revived, System reminded me. "You are the true heiress of the Veblen family. From now on, prepare to reclaim everything that rightfully belongs to you.
"We'll get ready to strike back at those who have wronged you and trample them underfoot."
In my time of utter helplessness and isolation, System appeared in my world like an old friend, providing me with immense mental strength.
I lay on the grass by the riverbank, gazing at the stars. "I want to return to the Veblen family..."
System immediately understood and sent my identity information to the Veblen family. The keen-eyed members of the elite family acted swiftly and arrived precisely when Belinda was bullying me.
I pretended to be unconscious and lay in the luxurious and opulent SUV.
The leather seats were incredibly comfortable.
It was a hundred, a thousand times better than the cold wooden bed at my step-parents' house.
I closed my eyes, enjoying this moment of leisure. The system alerted me that Belinda would soon be arguing with her adoptive parents, advising me to stoke the flames and sow discord between them.
Although stirring up trouble was morally questionable from my perspective, I felt no need to consider ethics when dealing with someone as venomous as Belinda.
Since binding to System, my outlook and mindset had drastically changed, transforming from cautious and timid to bold and fearless.
The once timid person who could barely breathe loudly now lay calmly in the car, eyes closed, awaiting the eruption of their conflict.
"Belinda, what's going on?
"I always thought you were a well-behaved girl, obedient and friendly. How could you bully Bessie Onions like this? You made her so badly injured...
"Once she wakes up, you need to apologize to her."
Nelly's voice was gentle and kind, but I could detect a hint of reproach in her tone.
"Mom, what are you talking about?
"She's just a worthless person. A few hits won't kill her. Why make such a big fuss about it?"
