Report
My cousin, Myra Walsh, leaves a voice message in the family group chat in a mean and uncouth manner. "Mom, I'm not meeting that guy who drives a rundown car. One look at him tells me that he's a single pathetic loser." She then kicks my chair. "Hey Sam, that useless piece of shit is a good match for you. Why don't you take my place on the blind date?" I follow Myra's line of sight. There's an old-looking car parked outside, and the owner, Henry Quinton, is currently reclining against the car while smoking. My entire family thinks he's just an ex-convict who has just gotten released from prison and is unable to land a job yet. I'm the only one who knows that's not the truth. Last week, when I was carrying out my internship at a bank, I witnessed the bank manager inviting Henry into the vault. Apparently, the trail of numbers Henry has in his savings is as long as a phone number. After putting on some makeup on my face to make me pure and innocent, I put on an oversized shirt before heading out of the apartment. In the cold wind, I cower slightly from the cold as I hand a thermos flask over to Henry. "Sir, Maya said she's not a match for you, so I'm here in her place." Henry snuffs out his cigarette, his gaze fixing on my flapping hem for three seconds. "Lass, if you want to be with me, you'll have to suffer tremendously in life." "I'm willing to go through anything as long as I get to be with you." That night, Maya flaunts photos of the bag a rich scion has given her. As for me, I've gone over to Henry's apartment.

Her Castoff Blind Date, My Road to Riches Chapter 10
This was exactly what I wanted.I used the identity of Mrs. Quinton to quietly expand my investments behind the scenes. The money I extracted from Henry was funneled through complex financial channels into shell companies I had registered overseas.With each passing day, my account balance grew, and so did my sense of security. I had never felt anything like it before. Men would change, and love would fade, but money never betrayed me. It was the only constant I could rely on.…My due date arrived, and I delivered a baby boy at a top private hospital. He was the first grandson of the Quinton family.Edward was overjoyed and fulfilled his promise on the spot. 20% of the company's shares were transferred into the child's name, with me as the trustee.Those shares were the lifeline of Quinton Group.During my postpartum recovery, Henry stayed by my bedside every day, playing the role of the perfect devoted husband.He believed that our little family of three had finally become co

The police, who were lying in wait, entered the venue."You're Myra, right? We received a report accusing you of extortion. You'll need to come with us."I had called the police.I watched as Myra was handcuffed and led away, then looped my arm through Henry's and smiled brightly at the cameras.Henry watched as I handled everything cleanly and decisively. A flicker of caution crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by admiration.Only a ruthless and decisive woman was worthy of becoming the matron of the Quinton family.During the toasting segment, several wealthy socialites looked at me with subtle disdain."Ms. Walsh, you certainly know how to play the game. How clever of you, using a child to climb your way up the social ladder."I rested a hand over my slightly raised abdomen and smiled gracefully."It may sound crude to rely on a child, but it works. It's still better than those who can't even bear one and end up letting outsiders step in, don't you think?"Their

Henry barked, "Is the child even mine? Or did you plan this from the beginning, trying to trap me with some bastard you conceived?"He clamped his hand around my throat, cutting off my breath.My face turned red instantly. Tears streamed down my cheeks, but I didn't explain myself or say anything.At a time like this, I knew that if I tried to explain myself, it would only sound like an excuse. Silence in the face of grievance was my sharpest weapon.Only when I was on the verge of blacking out did he finally let go.I collapsed to the floor, gasping for air. Then I reached into my bag, pulled out a document, and threw it straight at him.It was a paternity test I had prepared long ago—or more precisely, an amniocentesis test. Although it was still early in the pregnancy, I had bribed the doctor to fast-track it as an urgent case."Henry, you're disgusting," I said hoarsely, staring at him with utter despair."I'm leaving not because I feel guilty, but because I refuse to let m

The hall fell into silence instantly. Everyone looked at Myra like she was an idiot.The bald old man panicked and quickly stepped back.But Henry didn't move. He swirled the red wine in his glass, watching me with faint amusement.I released Henry's arm and walked forward in my five-inch heels until I stood in front of Myra.Myra was still screaming like a madwoman. "What are you looking at? Believe it or not, I'll have Jasper—"A sharp slap rang through the entire hall. I had put all my strength into it. Myra's face was whipped to the side, swelling almost immediately as blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. She froze, clutching her face in shock and staring at me in disbelief."Did you just hit me?""Yes, I did," I said coldly, staring straight at her. My voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly across the entire hall. "Open your damn eyes and take a good look. This is Henry Quinton, CEO of Quinton Group. I am his fiancee. Who exactly do you think you are to

"It's impossible… Mr. Quinton is not that kind of person!" I insisted.Myra let out a cold laugh. "Even with solid proof, you're still refusing to admit it? Then tell me, why would he go to a hotel? To fix a Maybach there?"I suddenly shoved Myra's phone away."He was delivering food! That car… I

Henry looked at me with a deep, unreadable gaze and asked, "Was it worth offending your relatives for an ex-con?"I sniffed lightly, then grabbed his hand and pressed it against my cheek. "As long as it's you, it's worth it."Just as we finished dinner and stepped out of the small eatery, a red

I snapped the blade of the knife shut and pulled it back.Henry froze.Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked up, and my voice came out choked with emotion."I'm scared, but I'm more scared that you'll hurt yourself with the knife. If you owe money, we can pay it back together. I've got hands and

On the night of Henry's birthday, torrential rain poured down.I stood at the entrance of his shabby house, holding a cake box in one hand and a suit bag in the other. I didn't have an umbrella as I had deliberately not brought one.Rainwater streamed down my hair, soaking into my skin until my wh
