No More Lucky Star novel Chapter 1

The room went completely silent. I grabbed a handful of mud from the flowerpot and slapped it right onto Graham Baker's face.

My dad froze while he was still holding me in his arms, his expression showing that he was on the verge of a breakdown.

Everyone stared at each other in shock. Only Jade, my adopted sister, reacted—her eyes flickered with a hint of smugness. She let out a sharp scream and rushed over, her face full of concern.

"Dad, are you okay? Mindy's always causing trouble."

Graham angrily wiped the mud from his face and shoved me into the nanny's arms.

"The shaman said she's a lucky star, the bringer of fortune... Why is she acting like that so suddenly?"

Jade bit her lip and muttered, "She's been born for a year now, but she hasn't brought us much luck. Maybe it's all a lie? The other day, she bit me while I was looking after her. She doesn't look like a prodigy at all. In fact, she..."

My oldest brother, James, scoffed, "She's just a little demon! Mindy has been nothing but trouble since she was born. Even Jade is getting ignored and bullied. All this about her being a lucky star is just a scam. She's nothing but bad luck!"

My mom, Amanda, frowned. She looked at me for a long time before saying, "Forget it. She's just turning one. What do you expect her to know? That being said, our company successfully became public as soon as she was born. Maybe she threw that mud to stop you for a reason."

Graham paced back and forth, frustrated. "Fine, I won't sign the deal. Let's see if she's really that lucky..."

With that, he hurried off to change. The birthday party ended in a mess.

As soon as our parents left, Jade dropped the act and glared at me with cold malice.
