The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 333: Saved an Old Rat Demon
Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Saved an Old Rat Demon
"I’ve always felt like I was a person abandoned by destiny. Just when I start to harbor illusions about life, fate always pushes me towards another kind of despair."
Amelia Spring’s voice was hoarse and bitter, and her smile, filled with self-mockery, was pained and forced.
The room was silent, except for the narrative of Amelia Spring and the uncontrollable sobbing of Elizabeth Tucker.
Even Elizabeth Tucker’s eyes were red, and she bit her lip throughout without making a sound.
She didn’t know about Amelia Spring’s past.
All she knew was that her mother had supported a girl from a mountain village, and that she cared about that girl more than her.
Plus, she liked pop dancing, totally opposite in taste to her mother’s preferences.
She had quarreled with her mother more than once, and Amelia Spring’s arrival had further intensified these conflicts.
Because after several of their quarrels, Amelia Spring would try to persuade her not to anger her mother, and later even started threatening her.
Elizabeth Tucker found Amelia Spring to be insincere, especially the two-faced nature she exhibited in front of her mother and behind her back.
She even suspected that Amelia Spring was coveting her mother’s fortune and wanted to replace her...
She regarded Amelia Spring as an ambitious imaginary enemy.
But today, she realized that she had misunderstood her.
Her personality might not be likable, but her love for her mother was genuine.
The audience in the live stream was also deeply moved, with many unable to hold back tears.
[She said she didn’t want to save her just because she was her mother, I really believe her! She just genuinely wanted to repay her teacher Amelia...]
[Those kids from remote areas really have it tough! Life is so hard, yet they still have to face such cruel parents!]
[Originally it was the girl who was supposed to be sponsored, yet the money ended up in the hands of a boy, hearing this really makes one angry!]
[Don’t even mention a few years ago, even recently some platforms fake their charity projects. They claimed to aid girls from mountain areas, but in the end, all the money went to boys!]
[And those are her biological parents, even worse than being non-biological!]
[Sister Amelia Spring is really pitiful, she gets hope again and again only to be pulled back into the mud!]
[That couple is simply inhuman! If it weren’t for Amelia Spring, could they still have their child today? Used up and not treated well, instead they squeeze her to death! And they even wanted to marry her off to such a disgusting family!]
[Ahhh! I’m really so angry I could die!]
[Teacher Tucker must be heartbroken.]
After all, she’s her own biological daughter!
Elizabeth Tucker was indeed heartbroken.
In the past, she had also felt pity for the child, but realizing now that this was her own biological child, she felt not only heartache but also almost suffocating pain and regret.
Her child, unbeknownst to her, had suffered so much.
Even though she has finally emerged from that muddy abyss, it cannot erase the fact that she has endured so much suffering.
Elizabeth Tucker held her hand over her heart, in pain so intense she could barely breathe.
Amelia Spring, seeing her "mother" like this, also felt pained. She stepped forward and tentatively reached out to gently hold her mother’s hand.
"Teacher... please don’t be sad."
"I have always been incredibly grateful that it was you."
"That day, when my family tied me up and sent me to that family’s wedding chamber, I thought of ending it all. But then, you reappeared...
You came with the police, forcibly took me from that house; I saw your hair disheveled, your beautiful clothes torn, but at that moment, you looked like the most beautiful goddess to me...
I feel, perhaps destiny still cares for me a little. It opened a window for me, and outside that window there was you."
From that moment, Amelia Spring swore in her heart that from then on, she would live for her teacher.
So when she found out that she could exchange her own lifespan for her teacher’s health, she agreed without any hesitation.
Her life, after seventeen, was given by Teacher Tucker, and she was more than willing to give it all back to her.
Elizabeth Tucker listened to her words, and could no longer restrain herself from embracing her tightly.
For the first time, she abandoned her dignity, holding her child and crying her heart out.
The staff present at the scene couldn’t help but discreetly wipe their tears away.
In the live stream, a barrage of tearful comments flew across the screen.
Ariel Zimmerman couldn’t hold back either and secretly turned her head to wipe her eyes.
Scarlett Jennings’s face did not show much emotion, she just watched quietly without speaking.
It was only after the emotional turmoil of the two had subsided that she finally spoke up, bringing the topic back on track.
"Ordinary people, even with the desire, couldn’t possibly use the Life Continuation Technique to save someone. How did you achieve it? Who helped you?"
Amelia Tucker wiped her eyes, then turned to look at Scarlett Jennings, knowing she was a "master" from the Mystical Sect and did not underestimate her due to her young age.
She then earnestly began to answer her question.
This was the beginning of another story.
...
"Just like you mentioned, master, knowing the teacher was suffering from bone cancer, I felt anxious, but also truly helpless... until, I saved a mouse."
When Amelia spoke of the mouse, she hesitated a bit and glanced at the camera before continuing,
"To be precise, it was a... Rat Demon."
At the utterance of the last two words, especially the guests at the scene instinctively sat up straight, their faces showing surprise.
Nathan White and Scarlett Jennings looked visibly more alert.
Because of Elizabeth Tucker, Amelia always remembered to do good deeds.
Knowing her teacher was ill, she performed a good deed every day.
She couldn’t alleviate her teacher’s pain, so she could only accumulate blessings for her teacher in this way, and in a sense, she succeeded.
"The mouse’s tail was cut off by a mousetrap, and although it could have escaped, it kept trying to tug its tail back out of the trap, so I simply helped reattach its severed tail."
Unexpectedly, that night, the mouse appeared in her room, dragging its noticeably reattached tail, and spoke human language.
It said it could cure her teacher’s disease but required her lifespan as the price.
Amelia Tucker agreed without hesitation.
Later, the Rat Demon set up an Array using her blood as a catalyst, and cured her teacher’s disease.
Amelia thought it was a dream because after that night, the Rat Demon never appeared again, until someday later, her teacher was examined and found to be gradually recovering.
And her appearance, originally youthful, rapidly matured...
Amelia finally confirmed it wasn’t a dream. The creature had taken thirty years of her life, but she was happy.
She had cured her teacher’s disease.
Just as she was happy about her usefulness, the Rat Demon appeared again, meanly revealing another truth.
The Array it used initially could only be effective with close blood relatives.
Only then did Amelia Tucker find out that Elizabeth Tucker was actually her biological mother!
The Rat Demon’s return and its purpose, she still hasn’t figured out today.
She still remembers its sharp voice tinged with malice and sneer,
It said,
"Your entire twenty years of painful life was because of her, yet you carelessly sacrificed thirty years of your lifespan for someone who harmed you for twenty years... Clack clack clack! How about it? Do you now feel particularly regretful? Regret saving her! Do you also especially hate her? Wishing she would fall ill again!"
Amelia Tucker faintly felt it was trying to provoke her emotions, but at that moment, she just stared blankly at it, her face expressionless as she replied,
"...No."
