About From Scum to Sovereign:Her Diamonds Cut Their Throats Novel
"The biological daughter of my adoptive parents got caught up in a plagiarism scandal, and the entire family business was on the verge of bankruptcy.
To repay my adoptive parents for their kindness in raising me, I drew new jewelry designs for her.
But after she cleared her name, not only did she fail to thank me, she turned around and accused me of plagiarizing her!
My husband pointed at me and yelled, “Get out!”
My own son called me a “dirty woman.”
Even my adoptive parents gave me the cold shoulder. I forced a smile, signed the divorce agreement, and let their whole family be “happy” without me.
The next time we met, I was in work clothes, covered in dust. My ex-husband frowned:
“Is this what you’ve come to after leaving us? Scrubbing streets? Apologize to your sister, and I’ll let you come back as a cleaner.”
I laughed until tears came—
If only these blind fools knew, this dust was powder from gemstones worth a million dollars each.
“Want me to be your cleaner? Do you even deserve it?”
Soon enough, my bankrupt ex-husband, followed by our red-eyed son, knelt outside my door, sobbing and begging me to come back."
