Karma Doesn’t Sleep: The Revenge Queen Rises novel Chapter 58

Caroline scrolled through her camera roll, hunting for the video she’d shot earlier that day.

There it was—Amelia, looking awkward as she stepped over the fire basin at the entrance, only to get swatted by the housekeeper, Lee, with a willow branch. Caroline had made sure to film from the least flattering angle, making Amelia seem clueless and out of place.

Smirking, Caroline sent the video off to her favorite group chat—the one filled with Alston Creek’s wealthiest heirs and heiresses.

Caroline: [Big news, everyone! My sister-in-law Amelia finally woke up after five years in a coma. She came home today, had to jump over a fire pit to get rid of bad luck. Sharing the good vibes!]

Mrs. Salmeron watched from the side, a little worried. “That video… Are you sure no one in the group will spread it around?”

Caroline shrugged, totally unfazed as she sipped her bird’s nest soup. “So what if they do? It’s about time everyone saw how out of place she is in our family. Mom, Amelia never fit in. It’s only a matter of time before my brother leaves her. You know he only married her because he had to. Now that he’s healthy, he definitely doesn’t need her anymore.”

A cold smile crept onto Mrs. Salmeron’s face. “Exactly. She’s already given birth—much easier to keep the child and get rid of the mother.”

“Amelia ended up in a coma because of a difficult birth. If my brother had divorced her back then, people would’ve talked. But now…” Caroline leaned back into the couch, eyes flickering with calculation. “Now everyone can see for themselves how tacky and unworthy she is. When my brother files for divorce, public opinion will totally be on his side.”

That hit the sweet spot for Mrs. Salmeron. In her mind, Amelia was nothing but a stepping stone for her son’s future.

Mrs. Salmeron’s mood only lifted from there. “Your dad told me we’re hosting Ryan tonight—the new owner of West Medicine! If your brother can lock in a strategic partnership with them, his position in the company will shoot up. Your cousin Sammy won’t be able to threaten him anymore. After that, your brother will have the best shot at inheriting the whole group.”
