Chapter 2

I was so angry I had to laugh.

This kid wasn't very old, but his mind was quite malicious.

He just wanted to harm me specifically, not his own mother.

"You're just looking down on our family!"

Gwen was beside herself with rage. "You think just because you're a college student, you can look down on us for being uneducated!"

Victoria sighed helplessly. "Maya would never be that kind of person."

"She's usually so polite. How could she possibly look down on relatives?"

"Didn't she already say? Good things should be given to children to honor their parents."

But Gwen wasn't grateful at all. Instead, she raised her voice even higher. "It's just a gift. Why won't you accept it?!"

"We came to visit in the freezing cold. This is our goodwill!"

"Are you helping her talk back? Do all of you look down on my family?"

"Let me tell you, the way you're treating my family today—when my son makes something of himself, even if you come crawling and begging for his help, we won't help you!"

I felt utterly exhausted.

A spoiled brat this young already had murderous intentions, and his mother just indulged him endlessly. Fat chance he'd amount to anything.

He probably wouldn't even finish school before ending up in prison for reform.

Victoria tried hard to smooth things over. "Really, that's not it. Please calm down. Let's talk this through nicely."

"It's New Year's. Let's not hurt our relationship."

But Gwen got even more worked up and shoved her aside.

"You're just another shallow social climber. You really think Maya will be more successful than my son just because she went to college?"

"You women without dicks are just stupid. My son will succeed at everything he does."

She glared at us two sisters with contempt. "Not like you two women—just money pits! Going to college gave you a superiority complex? You dare look down on people? Just wait and see how my son makes you die of envy!"

"In the end, you'll just be toys for men anyway, spreading your legs to give men children!"

Victoria was completely stunned hearing this.

"What kind of talk is that? I treated you like relatives, welcomed you properly, prepared gifts, and now you're not here to visit but to cause trouble..."

I quickly covered Victoria's mouth.

"Forget it, forget it. We're all relatives. Let's keep things peaceful."

Victoria was still quite upset, but seeing me smile broadly, acting completely unbothered by the insults, she could only let it go.

Of course I didn't care.

Because just now, while they were arguing, I'd already placed that special gift in the pile of presents the brat had received.

But this was a matter of life and death, after all. In my previous life, the carnivorous plant had blown me up so badly I'd lost my nose and eyeballs.

If it were Gwen, she definitely couldn't handle it even worse.

Plus their family had no money and couldn't afford medical expenses. Once the accident happened, they could only wait to die.

Should I give them one more chance and kindly warn them not to open it?

I was still hesitating when suddenly the spoiled brat pulled a syringe from his clothes.

"You dare insult my mom—you're looking down on our family!"

"You ugly freaks, I've had enough of you all. Watch me stab you to death!"

Like a rabid dog, he gripped the needle and lunged at me.

Fortunately, Victoria and I reacted quickly and immediately dodged to either side, barely avoiding him.

The spoiled brat couldn't stop his momentum and crashed straight into the wall.

The needle stuck into it too.

The syringe held dozens of milliliters, filled to the brim with red liquid.

A chill ran through me.
