You Jinx

After Selena finished speaking, she went to fetch a clothes rack, glaring at Valentina fiercely, her chest heaving with anger. Upon seeing this, George quickly rushed over to mediate. "Enough already, Augus said the money was not stolen. Why can't you listen? Can't you speak to Val calmly?" "How can I speak to her calmly? If it was not stolen, was the money picked up then? It’s tens of thousands of dollars! We can't earn so much money after working hard all year round! She spent tens of thousands of dollars just on a few pieces of clothing! If the money was not stolen, where did it come from?" Finished speaking, Selena once again glared at Valentina with disdain. "It's bad enough you're up to no good! Why are you corrupting Augus? He is not like you! He is supposed to go to a prestigious university!" Diana was gleefully enjoying the drama, adding fuel to the flames. "She stole so much money - if the victim reported to the police, she could be sentenced to several years in prison!" Hearing this, George panicked immediately. "Val, you... tell us. Where did this money really come from?" If the money was stolen and she was sentenced, Val's life would be ruined! Valentina stood coolly in the same spot, her brows slightly furrowed, showing a layer of cold intent, arrogant and sharp. At this moment, Augus dashed out with mad eyes and yelled angrily, "Enough! I already told you Val did not steal any money! Why don't you believe me?" "Not stolen? Then tell me. Where did she get the money?" Selena roared back. Augus frozen, glancing at Valentina, unsure of what to do. He wanted to speak up for her, but he was also clueless as to where her money really came from. Just now, Diana returned from shopping with her friends and went to his room to show off her newly-bought clothes. That was when she discovered the new clothes and shoes on his bedside table. After recognizing the brands of the clothes and shoes, she immediately lost her temper, called her mother over and demanded to know where he got the clothes from. With no other choice, he had to tell the truth. Who knew that this would cause such big trouble for Valentina? When Diana saw that Valentina was silent, she scoffed, "Not speaking is an admission of guilt! Could you have secretly earned it by working as a stripper?" "Diana!" George roared angrily. "What are you talking about? She is your sister!" Diana snorted and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, she saw the computer at Valentina's bedside and her expression changed drastically. "Oh! You even bought a computer secretly!" "You're so poor in performance. What do you need a computer for? If anyone should use it, it should be me!" As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed over to snatch the computer. Unable to bear it any longer, Valentina grabbed her wrist and twisted it. There was a crisp snap, and Diana's wrist was dislocated. "Ah!" A shrill scream echoed throughout the house. Valentina lowered her head and approached Diana, her eyes cold. Each word dripped with lethal coldness. "Who do you think you are to touch my things?" "If you don't want to die, get out of here!" Diana's face turned deathly pale with pain, beads of cold sweat breaking out on her forehead, her features twisted in distress. "Mom! Help me! My arm is about to break!" Selena was enraged, spat out, "You damn girl! Let go of your sister now! Are you out of your mind? How dare you bully your sister in front of me! I swear I'll beat the living daylights out of you!" She grabbed a clothesline post, ready to strike. Without even raising her eyelids, Valentina sneered and pushed Diana towards Selena. Selena's clothesline post landed heavily on Diana's head. "Ah!" Diana wailed, crashing into Selena. Both of them were thrown awkwardly onto the floor. For a moment, the room was in chaos. Selena, cursing and swearing with a sore butt, helped Diana to her feet. "You little beast! How dare you hit me? You'll meet your retribution!" She was notorious for her unruly behavior, always stirring up trouble and facing hardly any resistance. "George! You useless man! Your daughter has raised her hand against me, but you just stand by and watch! Shame on you!" Valentina's eyes narrowed slightly, her patience finally exhausted, and she reached out and grabbed Selena by the throat. Her hand was tightly around Selena's neck, her gaze chilling. The rest of Selena's words got stuck in her throat. She made a weird noise, her eyes filled with rage and terror, unable to believe what was happening as she looked at Valentina. Valentina's gaze was icy, and her voice was cold and merciless. "I used to tolerate you and Diana for the sake of Augus and Dad." "But you challenged my bottom line again and again without any respect." "From now on, I won't tolerate it any longer. If you know what's good for you, keep your mouths shut when you see me, or else, I'll rip your tongue out right now and make you mute for your whole life!" She was not Valentina, so she didn't need to care about blood ties. She had put up with Selena and Diana for so long, which had given them more than enough respect. "As for where my money comes from, it's none of your business! From now on, ask fewer questions about me. I have a terrible temper. If you vex me, your fate will be like this." Finishing her statement, she grabbed the clothes rack from Selena's hand and bent it with one hand. Selena and Diana watched this scene in horror and were both startled out of their wits. George was equally stunned. Only Augus watched calmly. Valentina threw the distorted clothing rack to the ground and shoved Selena away. Selena immediately took a deep breath, clutched her neck, and coughed harshly in embarrassment. She wanted to curse at Valentina subconsciously, but looking into Valentina's cold eyes, she immediately backed down. "Get out!" Valentina said in a cold voice. Selena and Diana didn't dare to say anything, got up, and left. George let out a sigh. He looked at Valentina, wanting to say something, but in the end, he could only sigh helplessly and leave. Augus picked up the clothes on the ground and closed the door for Valentina. Walking into the living room, he saw Selena sitting on the sofa and swearing. His lips were tightly pressed as he said, "Val didn't steal money. She can program. She earned the money herself." Upon hearing that Valentina could earn money, Selena immediately made a scene again. She demanded that the money Valentina earned be given to her, threatening to die to prove her point. As soon as her voice fell, the door to Valentina's room opened. Valentina held an art knife in her hand, skillfully waving it. "Want to die, huh? I'll oblige you now." After saying that, she advanced towards Selena with the art knife. Selena was horrified and backed away continuously. "You! You are crazy! You really are crazy!" Valentina looked at her coldly. "If you want to die, I can help you. If not, keep your mouth shut!" After that, she put away her knife and walked out the door right away. Selena, frightened out of her wits, stared blankly at her retreating figure. After a long while, she burst into tears. "What a disaster! How could I have given birth to such a beast?" "Enough! Can't you just shut up?" George's angry voice came from behind. Valentina did not look back, left the urban village, and hailed a taxi. "To the suburbs." In the suburbs, a ring road around the mountain. A luxury sports car came roaring down the hill. A group of young men and women, splendidly dressed, cheered from the side of the road. "Mr. Wright! Mr. Wright!"
