Her Majesty

Chapter 21 The Past

Amanda was stunned and later laughed, “Sure, if you want to say it. Anyway, I have told you a story,

now you tell me a story. Neither of us loses anything!"

"Housin Jiang killed my first love, my most beloved woman!" I was red-eyed and almost growled as I

spoke the name, revealing a secret I had been reluctant to reveal.

“Three years ago, I have been with Grace for six years, and then we were about to be engaged. I

worked in a company as a supervisor, and she was a ballet teacher in my sister’s school. Although we

were not rich, we lived a happy life. Generally speaking, we had nothing to do with Housin Jiang, the

rich second generation, but one day, Grace participated in ballet ball, and Housin had a crush on

Grace, then nightmare begins."

I held my head, originally wanted to bury these things in the bottom of my heart, but, I now just wanted

to vent the anguish completely! Amanda leaned to me, listening to me quietly.

"Housin later began to approach Grace, with roses, luxury cars, designer handbags, etc. I didn’t care

too much because I knew Grace would not betray me. And sure Grace was not that kind of person, she

had not accepted any of his gifts. However later, Housin’s veil of hypocrisy had been torn at last!"

"My sister unexpectedly had an accident. She was in Grace’s classroom to learn ballet, always wanted

to be a great ballet dancer, but one day on her way to go to school, she had an accident. The driver

who had not been caught by now ran away, so our well-off life suddenly collapsed. I took out the money

for my engagement with Grace to cure my sister's legs, but it was like a drop of water in the ocean! I

can only keep my sister's leg from getting worse these years, and I'll never get the money for a radical

cure!"

"Fortunately, Grace was there to support me. After work in the day, she had to do several part-time jobs

in the evening, so did I. I worked so hard, it seemed to be bright in the future. However, Housin found

me, took out a suitcase of a million cash! That money was placed in front of me, he said, he just

wanted to get Grace. As long as I can allow him to spend one night with Grace, I would have that

money! It hurt me, it was truth, with the money, she wouldn't have to suffer for so many years!"

“To be honest, I'm tempted, but Grace has been with me for six years, so I decisively rejected him. He

hit on me with that money, scolded me, and said the money was enough for our three cheap lives. I

suddenly realized that at the time, my sister's legs may be an accident by him!"

"I went up to fight with Housin, but it was no use. He took two well-trained bodyguards, who

immediately knocked me down to the ground. He joined in beating me and spitted to my face before he

left. He said he would get Grace and let me wait and see.”

"I called the police, but the police did not care at all. Housin’s family was powerful, the police just

symbolically got to know the situation, I also did not take it seriously. But later, I panicked, Grace was

missing! I was frantically looking for Grace, but I failed. After a day, Grace came back like lost soul, with

clothes tattered and bruises on her body. As she entered the door, she hugged me crying and said she

was not pure anymore!"

"I immediately understood what happened. Housin played dirty! I took a knife from the kitchen and was

about to kill him, but Grace tried hard to stop me. And she did not allow me to call the police, and said

she would be ashamed to live if I reported it to the police. I was coward, but for Grace and my sister, I

put up with it, but I did not expect that Housin would act worse!

"One day I came home from work and Housin was in my house, with a few bodyguards. When I found

that he was rude to Grace, I took a stick from the side of the door and hit Housin to the ground, he

directed his bodyguards to punch and kick me. And then they tied me to a chair. In front of me, they...

to Grace!"

As I spoke, my voice almost trembled, and I really did not want to remember the scene any more. The

feeling of helplessness enveloped me. I was struggling, raging, but it was to no avail. The feeling of

powerlessness was beyond words.

Amanda was startled after hearing my words. Compared with my story, her story was much better. She

had lived in a secure sociality, it was like a flower living in the greenhouse, never encountered sinister

things. She patted her chest, said in surprise, “Why don't you call the police?"

"Call the police? Useless. Jiang family is rich and powerful, the police are on their side. Grace jumped

down the building from the 26th floor because she couldn’t stand the insult!" I held my head in pain,

really did not want to recall the scene.

"It was a big matter at that time, but the Jiang family still suppressed it. Housin's father personally came

to me with the money, said he hoped to settle the matter privately with me. I did not agree. I just wanted

to kill Housin that bastard, so I hid a knife in my cuff. I smashed to him as they entered the room.

Unfortunately, their bodyguards controlled me after I hit him once, later, ironically, they called the police,

the police caught me in the name of intentional crime, beat me day and night. I didn't feel pain, my

heart died at the moment Grace jumped off a building." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"The court decided to sentence me severely. I bit Housin Jiang fiercely in court, a brother helped me.

Then we reached an out-of-court settlement. I had no other way. If I went in prison, my sister's next life

would be all over! On that day, Housin drove a sports car complacently, holding the beauty in front of

me to show off, and said lowly people would end like this!"
