Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 432

Maybe it was the police that brought back all those bloody memories from six years ago, but Amelia spent the whole night trapped in nightmares.

She dreamed she was back there—six years younger, clutching a cash box, walking into that deal with Levi. She begged them to let Clive go. Then, suddenly, a filthy, wild-eyed man lunged at her, yanking at her clothes. In real life, she’d fought like hell, but in the dream, her arm was grabbed and twisted until it snapped.

She cried out, desperate and terrified. That was when she saw Ryan. He walked over, cold and fierce, like he was ready for war. With one hand, he pinned Levi’s head down, the other gripping a knife, slicing Levi’s throat open without a second thought.

Blood sprayed everywhere.

Ryan just looked at her, calm as ever, and said, “Didn’t I tell you? If you can’t win, come find me.”

Amelia jolted awake, her heart racing.

Her alarm went off at that exact moment.

She sat up, rubbing her forehead, and almost laughed. Seriously? Dreaming about Ryan?

It had to be because he’d been so nice to her lately. Her brain was making up the most ridiculous stories.

Like Ryan would ever come to her rescue. She wasn’t that delusional.

Just add “Packman Global” in front of his “illegitimate son” label, and suddenly he was on top of the world.

Ryan was at the peak now.

They were living in completely different worlds.

If he decided to tease her for a while, she wasn’t about to get her hopes up.

She’d already gotten burned—almost lost her life—because of Clive. She wasn’t about to believe in happy endings anymore.

Amelia splashed cold water on her face, forcing herself back to reality.

It was Sunday, the day she looked forward to most—visiting Grandpa Tony.

Before leaving, she put on her blood-red amber gourd pendant.

The second she stepped out of the elevator, Will messaged her.

“Up yet? Want anything for breakfast?” He even sent a photo of a breakfast shop, rows of pastries and snacks on display.

Amelia replied: “No thanks.”

Will replied almost immediately: “You’re up? Any plans today? If not, there’s a new movie out—I think you’ll like it. Or we could try that new restaurant I told you about. Their food is right up your alley.”

Amelia took a breath, then typed, “Sorry, not interested.”

Her answer couldn’t have been clearer. Will’s “typing…” bubble flickered for several minutes, but finally he just said, “Alright. If you ever want to, I’m always around.”

Amelia just sighed and left it at that.

With adults, not replying was already an answer.

She figured Will was smart enough to get it.
