The Jilted Heiress's Lethal Comeback

Sunian Jinshi Modern

“Five years ago, Avery Knox was framed for manslaughter, betrayed by her powerful family, and disowned. Now, she was a lethal black-ops commander known as "Wraith," operating deep in the shadows. Her cold, disciplined world shattered when her emergency sat-phone rang for the first time in five years. Her ten-year-old brother, Ethan, had been kidnapped by a ruthless trafficking syndicate. Avery hijacked a military transport, slaughtered the traffickers in the jungle, and brought her terrified brother back to their hometown. But the nightmare hadn't ended. The moment she stepped into her childhood home, she found her cousin Jared-the very man who had helped send her to prison-pinning her mother to the couch, tearing at her clothes. He was trying to force her mother to sign away the remains of their family company. When Jared saw Avery, he wasn't afraid. "You're a convicted felon. Who the hell let you back here?" He threatened to tell the police she had kidnapped Ethan, and then lunged forward, trying to snap the little boy's neck right in front of her. Avery looked at the cousin who had traded her freedom for his reputation. She had spent five years surviving in hell, losing everything, while they lived in luxury. How could their greed and cruelty still know no bounds? The last shred of the helpless girl they once knew died completely. Avery stepped forward and methodically shattered Jared's wrists and kneecaps, listening to his agonizing screams. Then, she pulled out her encrypted phone and sent a single message to her strike team. She wasn't just going to protect her family; she was going to wipe the entire Knox empire off the map.”
