She even had to go after my husband.
“Queenie, is this all you ever say? Aren’t you tired of repeating the same line over and over? Because I’m certainly sick of hearing it! Can’t you come up with something new, something with a little more creativity? And since you know I hate you, why do you keep showing up in front of me?”
Each word I spoke made Queenie’s expression twist.
She gritted her teeth and stared at me. Never before had she suffered such humiliation in my presence.
Hatred burned in her eyes as she ran to Henry. Pitiful tears hung at the corners of her eyes.
“Henry, look how she’s treating me!”
Before Henry could say a word, I let out a cold laugh.
“He’s your brother–in–law; where’s your morality? How can you keep clinging to him and entangling yourself with him like
this?”
Hearing that, Henry hurriedly pulled his arm away from Queenie’s grip and turned to me uneasily.

“Honey, don’t misunderstand. There’s nothing between me and Queenie. I only see her as a sister.”
When Queenie saw how desperately Henry was trying to distance himself from her, her gaze toward me instantly filled with
hatred.
I curled my lips into a mocking smile and added fuel to the fire.

Before I could finish, Henry interrupted me with a hysterical shout, “Honey, just rest! Whatever it is, we’ll talk about it at home!”
He stood by my bedside helplessly and looked at me like a lost child. He was looking at me with a desperate plea. He no longer cared about Queenie standing behind him.
I raised an eyebrow at Queenie in feigned triumph.
Realizing she was being ignored, Queenie glared at me with murderous resentment.
But she knew she couldn’t do anything to me, so she resorted to her usual tactic–bringing in our parents.
It was her go–to move for years.
I watched her every action without stopping her, letting them enter the ward.
It was time to put my plan into motion.

Sure enough, the moment our parents‘ voices reached the hallway outside the ward, Queenie rushed out. She threw herself into my mother’s arms and sobbed.
