Chapter 9
Charlie’s legs had inexplicably gone numb three days ago, and doctors couldn’t figure out the cause. When everyone was at a loss, Charlie suddenly realized something. He locked himself in the room and did not come out for three whole days.
Julia stared at the locked door, still unable to understand how things had ended up like this.
Just a month ago, her son was a business upstart reported by all major media, and she was the envied rich woman by everyone.
But things took a turn for the worse. She’d lost both legs in a car accident and would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Charlie was undoubtedly healthy, but he became disabled for no reason. Even the share prices of the Sullivan Group fell sharply because of Charlie’s accident.
But Charlie, who was supposed to come out to take charge of the situation, locked himself in the room and refused to see anyone.
“How did it suddenly become like this?”
Julia couldn’t figure it out until that shaman suddenly came to her door.
“It’s because this is your original destiny!
“You became rich and powerful because of her. Now that she is dead, and her divine power has dissipated, you will naturally return to your original destiny.”
The shaman didn’t say it explicitly, but Julia knew that the ‘she‘ he was

referring to was Adriana.
Adriana, the one who single–handedly led the Sullivan family back to its glory.
Adriana, the one whom she hated so much. The one whom she believed was of lowly demon blood.
“What would the Sullivan family be like if Adriana had not appeared six years ago?”
A chill came down Julia’s spine as she remembered.
Charlie was hunted down by his enemies and died with his entire body completely broken. The Sullivan Group declared bankruptcy, and on the day, it was acquired, she jumped off the rooftop.
The entire family was wiped out.
This is the destined ending of the Sullivan family.
The door was suddenly pushed open. Charlie, who stood behind the door, heard everything.
He met Julia’s gaze and his dry lips moved slightly.
“Mom, this is our retribution.”
His paralyzed legs were just the beginning. Over the next two months, Charlie’s arms stopped working too, and then his ribs mysteriously broke. In the end, Charlie’s bones all over his body were broken, and he couldn’t even turn his head. He could only lie in bed as he struggled for breath.
He couldn’t accept himself becoming like this, so he asked his former subordinates for help. He had them feed him poison, thus ending his

After Charlie’s death, Sullivan Holdings‘ share prices plummeted. Julia had lost both her husband and son when she was still in middle age, and her hair turned grey overnight. She sold the company and used the last of the money to bury Charlie. Then, like six years ago, she climbed onto the roof again.
But this time, there was no one like Adriana, who was willing to give up everything to save the Sullivan family.
The cold wind whipped across her face, and Julia finally felt regret.
“Adriana, I’m so sorry.”
She closed her eyes and fell into the void.
My soul was floating in the air, taking in the whole scene. At the moment when Julia fell from the building, the restraints deep in my soul finally dissipated. A gate of light rose before my eyes and slowly opened.
I didn’t hesitate when I stepped over.
With that, the scores were even.
