Chapter 57 Take Revenge For Evelyn
"I did it! But why? Why do you have to destroy my happiness again?"
"Do you know how hard it was to become the empress? Do you know how much I have suffered to become the empress dowager?"
"Now I'm the most powerful person in this country and I don't need to be looked down upon anymore. Why can't you let me enjoy such a life longer?"
Myra was crying and roaring, and tears ran down her face.
Ava didn't say anything.
She looked at Myra she used to dote on the most and suddenly smiled.
"You said that no one likes you? When you were a child, you stole father's jade fan. Who took the blame for you?"
"When you fell into the pool at the age of ten, you almost drowned. Who risked her life to save you?"
"At the age of fifteen, we were escorted to this country together..."
Ava's voice suddenly became a little choked, as if she thought of some extremely unbearable things.
Her beautiful and cold eyes were bloodshot, and there were disappointment and hatred in her eyes.
"On the way, we were escorted to this country, so many people wanted to rape you. Who stood in front of you and fought with them with knives again and over again? Who's that? Who was raped by them in order to protect you?"
Myra was stunned.
She looked at Ava in a daze, thinking of what had happened in the past.
At that time, she was still young and didn't know what had happened when her family was ruined. Then she was taken to the enemies' country with Ava.
Along the way, Ava asked her to cover up her face with mud so that she wouldn't attract bad people's attentions.
But she didn't want to look so ugly. Although she agreed, she was not willing to do so in her heart.
Finally, one night, while everyone was asleep, she quietly washed the mud off her face with water.
She looked at her beautiful face in the water, appreciating her beauty while combing her hair.
However, the soldiers saw her at this time. They all rushed to her as if they had discovered a rare treasure.
She was so frightened that she kept screaming.
Finally, it was Ava who saved her.
She didn't know what Ava said to those soldiers.
Later, those soldiers stopped pestering her and went to the woods with Ava.
She went back to sleep. When she woke up the next day, Ava came back. There were bruises on her face, and her clothes were broken. There was still blood on her hands, but she said that nothing had happened last night.
At that time, she didn't think much. But she just felt strange, because she had never seen those soldiers since then.
She didn't know what happened because she was young at that time, but she was in her thirties at the moment.
She had already known what had happened in the woods that night.
She just didn't want to admit or face it. It seemed that as long as she didn't think about it, those facts that made her painful and regretful wouldn't exist.
Myra looked at Ava and suddenly laughed.
As she laughed, she begun to cry.
Her cries were like the whimpers of a wild beast, mournful and regretful.
A soldier ran over with a wooden box in his hand.
"Your Majesty, we've found the imperial jade seal."
Ava took it, had a look and then nodded.
She turned around and walked outside with her soldiers.
All of a sudden, a mournful roar came from behind her, "Ava!"
Ava stopped, but she didn't look back.
The setting sun shone in from outside the palace, warming Ava to a radiant glow. Ava's back was tall and straight. Looking at Ava like this, Myra thought of how she looked like when she taught her to practice the spear when they were young.
"Ava, I'm so sorry! Please let me go! You are my sister! You can't kill me. I am your younger sister!"
She crawled on the ground and her face was full of tears and snots. She didn't look like an empress dowager at all.
However, Ava did not look back. Under the sunset glow, her eyes glistened with tears.
Her face tightened, and her hand which was holding the seal was trembling slightly.
She thought of the scene when they were young, she climbed the wall and played mud with Myra, but Myra thought that she was dirty.
Then she thought of how Myra killed those innocent people.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
After a long time, she said coldly, "Myra is morally degenerate. She bullies and exploits ordinary people brutally and ruthlessly. She's too wicked to be pardoned! Kill her!"
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, and it begun to rain.
Myra stood there, staring at Ava who was standing at the door in disbelief.
Ava put her hand into her pocket, took out a bottle of poison and put it on the ground.
"This is the poison extracted from poisonous snakes. When you were a child, you were bitten by a snake. I risked my life to help you suck the poison out. Then I lay on my bed for three whole months and almost died. Now... drink it!"
After that, she ignored Myra and strode away.
The performance came to an end.
But the strange thing was that there was no sound in the studio.
Clarissa felt a little embarrassed.
She thought, "Was I acting too badly?"
"It can't be! Just now, I had generated real empathy with all my understanding towards this character."
Just when she was confused, the studio resounded with applause.
Clarissa raised her head and saw Freddie.
He stood up from behind the cameras and looked at Clarissa in great excitement and disbelief.
"Good! That's great!"
As she spoke, the rest of the people finally came to sense and began to applaud.
They said, "It's so wonderful! I didn't expect you to be so good at acting!"
"Yeah, I almost thought it was a true story just now."
"I'm so touched!"
Clarissa finally let out a sigh of relief.
The reason why she proposed to play this role was not only because she wanted to take revenge for Evelyn, but also because when she was reading this script, she had a deep impression of this scene.
She sighed for the sisterhood between Ava and Myra, and she felt sad for Ava who was reserved and strong.
She knew what Ava wanted was not power!
She just wanted the most ordinary family affection and a warm sisterhood. Ordinary people could easily get these things, but she could never get them.
Clarissa suddenly felt a little disappointed even though her acting was very successful.
Freddie came forward and said with a smile, "You performed very well. The whole play gives me a fresh feeling. It's really amazing!"
Lara deliberately covered her face with her hands and forced a smile, "I'm flattered, Director Jordan."
However, Freddie did not look at her.
He didn't even notice that she was covering her face.
Instead, he stared at Clarissa and even asked with a flatteringly smile, "Clarissa, do you really like this play?"
Clarissa was a little confused.
She didn't know why he asked her like this.
She could only nod honestly, "Well, yes. I read the play when it came out two years ago. I liked it very much at that time."
When Freddie heard this, he was so excited that he rubbed his hands as if he had found a treasure.
"It's good that you like it."
Seeing this, Lara suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She thought, "Does he want Clarissa to play this role?"
