Gasps filled the scene when Stella raised the ancient token.
“So Queenie is truly in bad shape. She even gave the Blueclaw token to Stella.”
“Skye, the proof is right here. You’re just a maid–leave now!”
I gritted my teeth in anger.
In my previous life, I never got the chance to fight back, so I hadn’t realized how they’d already gutted our family from the inside.
Rage burned through me as I lunged toward Stella, trying to grab the
token from her.
Hugo had completely betrayed me. At his shout, a crowd of his followers jumped in, blocking me and launching their attack.
Even though I was skilled, I was still human. I couldn’t fight them all. Soon, someone hit me hard on the back of the head.
That blow nearly snapped my neck. My vision blurred, and I almost collapsed.
Hugo looked down on me and kicked me hard in the chest, sending me flying off the stage.
Stella strutted after me, a smug look on her face, and lifted her foot like she was about to stomp on my face.

Anger exploded inside me. I slammed my fist into the bottom of her foot. Stella, always acting like she was strong, lost her balance and fell
over.
Luke, my mother’s lover, flew into a rage.
“You brat! How dare you hurt her! Break her hand!”
Hugo quickly pulled out a switchblade. He ordered a few guys to pin my right arm down and drove the blade into me.
“Skye, I’m not just going to ruin your hands. I’ll slice your tendons and dump you in the underground fighting pit. You’ll be a complete cripple for Stella to trample on forever!”
The pain spread. Some people couldn’t even watch anymore and turned
away.
I spat blood into the faces of a few men and yelled as loud as I could.
“Go ahead and kill me! When my mother shows up, you’re all dead!”
Matthew froze for a second. He looked over at Luke.
Luke sneered, clearly not worried, and whispered, “Your mother won’t wake up.
“Skye, stop hoping someone will come and prove who you are. Blueclaw and everyone in it will belong to Stella soon.”
He flashed a cruel grin, and my heart dropped.
I finally understood why no one came for me when I was trapped in that cage in my previous life.

They had been plotting behind our backs all along and killing my mother!
Those men noticed my panic and burst out laughing.
While they were distracted, I knocked down the guy holding me and bit into Luke’s ear, tearing off a chunk.
Luke howled in agony, and Stella looked heartbroken.
Matthew was furious and started shouting curses. Still filled with rage, he grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it against my head.

“Do you even realize what you’ve done? How could you hurt him?“–‘
My head throbbed from the impact, but something didn’t feel right.
Matthew had always looked down on Luke, calling him trashy and unworthy to steal our late father’s place.
But now, he seemed worried sick about Luke.
Even Fabian looked tense and rushed to help treat Luke’s injury.
A silver glint flashed–Hugo’s switchblade was already at my throat.
“Sorry, Skye. I never wanted this to happen.
“But you’ve harmed the ones I care about too many times. I can’t let you
live!”
I was badly hurt. With my hands and feet broken, I couldn’t fight back against Hugo.
Some people covered their eyes, thinking that I would die.

Then, a loud shout came from the entrance.
“Why has Skye’s wedding turned into chaos? Stop it!”
