Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 452

Hank wanted to erase her completely, as if she’d never existed at all.

She could still hear her father’s voice in her mind, bright and full of warmth. Daddy’s little princess, Amelia—you’re going to be the happiest girl in the world.

Amelia, sweetheart, what did you wish for this year? Can you tell Daddy? Aren’t we the best of friends, you and me?

I want our family to always be together. I want Mommy and Daddy to love me forever.

Those memories were bathed in sunlight, soft and golden. Her father’s laughter echoed as he scooped her up, tossing her high into the air, only to catch her safely every time.

Of course, baby. Mommy and Daddy will always love you.

Amelia squeezed her hands tighter, her nails biting into her palms. The more beautiful her memories, the more bitter they felt now.

Mr. Baker stared at Hank with icy suspicion. Are you saying Amelia is a liar?

That’s right. Mr. Baker, everyone—this woman, Amelia, is nothing but a fraud. Hank jabbed his finger at her, voice full of outrage. She’s a shameless imposter, pretending to be my late wife Norma’s daughter, Tony’s granddaughter, and using your memories, Mr. Baker, just to gain your sympathy. She’s disgusting.

He sounded so sure of himself that even the crowd began to waver. After all, what kind of father wouldn’t recognize his own daughter?

Only Clive knew the truth—Amelia wasn’t lying. If all this was a scam, was she supposed to have started plotting as a teenager? What for?

Clive’s lips parted, dry and hesitant, wanting to say something, wanting to do something. But before he could, Kristen pressed a cup of tea to his lips.

Clive, your mouth is so dry, she said softly, her eyes full of fake concern. Drink some water. Dad will take care of women like that. This won’t mess up our partnership with the Baker family.

Clive just stared at her, unsettled.
