My Parents Sued My Corpse

Seeing that the Spencer family had no intention of dropping the case, the judge began the trial.

“This trial will follow the principle that whoever makes a claim must provide evidence. The plaintiffs, the Spencer family, have accused Clara Spencer of being cruel and ungrateful, and have presented memory evidence to support their claims.

“If the Spencer family wins this trial, the judgment will be to cut open Clara Spencer’s body to extract her healthy kidney to transplant into Jade Spencer, and her ties with the Spencer family will be completely severed. In addition, every cent Clara Spencer earns in the future will be handed over to her parents to repay them for giving birth to her.

“If the Spencer family loses, only her ties with them will be severed. From then on, Clara Spencer will have nothing to do with the Spencer family.

“Now, plaintiffs, who will present the evidence?”

“I will!” the Spencer family all said in unison.

My mother smiled faintly in tacit agreement. There was a look of pride in her eyes, as if to say, ‘See, this is what a family should be like. We’re so united when dealing with an outsider.’

“I heard that when the plaintiffs present evidence, they don’t need to have their heads cut open for the memory extraction. Please just use the memory extractor to take the memories directly from my brain.”

I had seen a few cases before, and I knew judges were usually lenient with plaintiffs. Sure enough, they used the memory extractor to connect to my parents’ and Yara’s brains.

The big screen showing the memories flickered for a few seconds before becoming clear.

The first scene showed Jade walking into the villa holding a big cake. Her face beamed with happiness as she set it on the dining table and said to my parents, “Mom, Dad, look at this cake. Isn’t it pretty? I made it myself for Clara’s 18th birthday.”

Upon hearing that, my parents immediately walked over to admire it and began praising her.

“Jade, you’re so talented. Did it tire you out?”

Jade shyly shook her head to show that she was not tired at all.

Yara, who was standing next to her, immediately grabbed Jade’s hand. Her face was filled with concern as she pointed at the bandage on Jade’s finger. “Jade, did you hurt your hand making this cake?”

Jade quickly pulled her hand back and shook her head hard. “I’m fine, Yara. As long as Clara likes the cake, it doesn’t matter even if I spent three days and nights making it at the bakery. As long as she likes it, that’s enough for me.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the villa’s front door opened.

I stood there, drenched like a drowned rat. Jade immediately grabbed me from the doorway and pulled me to the dining table. Pointing at the cake, she smiled brightly and said, “Clara, look at this birthday cake. Do you like it? Let me cut you a piece to try.”

At that moment, it felt like everyone was waiting for me to express my gratitude to Jade.

But under everyone’s gaze, I picked up the cake from the table and smashed it right onto Jade’s head.

“Who wants to eat your cake?! Even a dog wouldn’t eat this crap, and you’re giving it to me?!”

As I spoke, I bent down, scraped a handful of dirty mud off my shoes, and shoved it hard into Jade’s mouth. I snarled, “Three days and three nights? You want cake so badly? I’ll feed you myself!”

Even after doing all that, I still did not feel satisfied. I took off my dirty shoe and shoved it into Jade’s mouth as well, as if I would not stop until I forced it down her throat.

My parents and Yara finally snapped out of their shock. They rushed over, yanked my arm away, and shoved me to the floor.

“Clara, are you insane?!”

“Clara, you’re crazy! Do you think you can just do whatever you want?!”

Ignoring their furious shouts, I charged forward another step.

I slammed my head into Jade’s chest and knocked her to the floor. In the chaos, her head accidentally hit the dining chair, and blood instantly gushed out.

The screen went dark, and the livestream comments instantly blew up.

[What the heck! Clara’s seriously messed up. Jade spent three days and nights making that cake, and she didn’t even say thank you. She treated her like that instead!]

[And that was at home, with her parents there. Imagine what Clara was like at school without any family around to keep her in check.]

[Ugh, I really want to go in there and beat Clara up. She’s so heartless. Truly cruel and ungrateful.]

[I’m voting for the Spencer family this round.]

[No normal person would act so extreme. Could there be some hidden misunderstanding between Clara and Jade?]

[You must be someone Clara paid to defend her. Get lost right now! Otherwise, when the truth comes out, and she gets what’s coming to her, I’ll come for you too!]

The comments kept flooding in, and the votes in support of the Spencer family kept increasing.

Meanwhile, on the defendant’s side, there was only a single vote for me.

That vote came from Mdm. Langley. She did not know how to use the voting system, but she persistently asked the staff for help until she finally managed to cast her vote for me.

Mdm. Langley reached out her trembling hand to help me clean the rotten vegetables and eggs from inside my coffin. When she looked at me, her eyes were filled with a familiar gentleness.

“Don’t be afraid, dear. I’ll always support you.”

My nose stung, and tears immediately welled up. Seeing that lonely number “1” on my side of the votes, I completely broke down.

I tried so hard to remember Mdm. Langley’s face, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not recall when I had ever met that deeply wrinkled face before.

At that moment, the screen showing the memories went dark, only to flicker back on moments later.
