Amber lay sprawled on the cold floor, her vision blurred as she looked at the couple standing before her. Their eyes were filled with mockery, especially the man's. His gaze lingered on her miserable state, sharp and cruel. Her thoughts were in complete chaos.
She couldn't understand it.
How had she ended up like this?
"I really pity you, Sister," the woman said softly, her lips curling into a smile that held no warmth. "You don't even know what has happened to you."
A suffocating pain bloomed in Amber's chest, spreading rapidly, as if something was tearing her apart from the inside. She gasped, her fingers clawing at the floor.
"The poison is top-notch," the man said calmly. "I originally planned to give you a painless death. But remembering how you humiliated me—how you turned me into a cuckold, made me wear a green hat, I just couldn't be that merciful."
His voice grew colder with every word.
"This poison will slowly consume your organs. Then your bones. Then your skin. In the end, you will completely perish from this world."
"Hahahaha…" The woman laughed softly, as if enjoying a beautiful performance. "What a wonderful sight, Sister. All these years, your family treated my mother and me with nothing but disgrace. They left us nothing—nothing at all. Why? I also carry the Lin family's blood."
"There's no need to waste more words," the man said impatiently, glancing at Amber's pale face. "Judging by her expression, she still doesn't even know about our affair . Since she's about to die, she deserves the truth."
"Sister, I am pregnant with brother Yang's baby".
Amber lifted her trembling gaze toward him—the man she had loved for years. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks as she forced herself to speak.
"Jin Yang… what nonsense are you talking about? Weiwei is your son. Our son!"
Jin Yang sneered and slammed a stack of documents onto her face.
Amber's pupils shrank violently.
0.00% biological relation.
Her breath hitched. She shook her head desperately. "These are fake… don't believe them…"
"Fake?" Jin Yang scoffed. "There are twenty reports here, "twenty. Lin Yao personally arranged tests at twenty different hospitals. And you still dare to lie?"
His eyes darkened with disgust.
"A bitch like you deserves to die. Your death will free a seat for Yaoyao on Alpha spaceship ; we are boarding tomorrow."
He looked down at her as if she were already dead.
"You and your bastard can rest in peace,right here, on this doomed planet."

After Jin Yang left, Lin Yao stepped forward, her smile slow and mocking.
"Sister, you should be happy," she said lightly. "You'll soon be reunited with your family in heaven. And don't worry, your son will accompany you soon."
Amber's eyes widened in terror. Her heart slammed violently against her chest as she struggled to breathe.
"What… What did you do to my Weiwei?" she cried hoarsely.
Lin Yao sneered, lifting her chin arrogantly. "Oh? That little thing?" she replied indifferently. "I sold him."
Amber froze.
"Just for a few bags of snacks," Lin Yao continued lazily. "After all, we're departing for another planet tomorrow. We'll need provisions for the journey. I can't let Brother Yang's baby go hungry, can I?"
Amber's breath completely hitched.
Her soft, adorable one-year-old son—who had yet to speak his first word, who still stumbled when he tried to walk,had been sold like a worthless object.
By these inhuman monsters.
A strangled cry tore from her throat as despair swallowed her whole.
At twenty-eight, Amber Lin had lost everything on this doomed planet.
Betrayed by the people she had once called family, people she had sheltered and fed,only to be stabbed in the back when she was at her weakest.
Hatred burned through her fading consciousness.
That bitch. That bastard couple.
If there truly was an afterlife…
If King Yama truly judged the dead…
Then she swore—
She would make them pay for every tear, every betrayal, and every sin when they knelt before him.
