LOGINThe Snider family was entirely destroyed.Because she missed the critical window for treatment, Lilian's untreated wounds caused a severe case of sepsis.To save her life, the doctors had to perform a high-level bilateral amputation from the hip.She was left a complete cripple. Trapped in a rental room all day, she would stare at her empty pant legs and throw hysterical tantrums, cursing the world day and night like a lunatic.Jeremy couldn't handle the relentless onslaught of devastating blows. Combined with the loan sharks painting his door red and terrorizing him daily, he suffered a massive stroke late one night.Although the ER department managed to save his life, he was left completely paralyzed.His face was permanently contorted, unable to utter a single coherent word except for pathetic, garbled groans.He spent his days lying right next to Lilian. In that foul-smelling room, they tortured each other endlessly, trapped in a living hell.Kyle didn't fare any better.B
Two weeks later, the underground antique auction in Caldoria was underway.Dressed in a tailored suit, I walked into the venue shoulder-to-shoulder with Yvonne.The moment we took our seats, I felt a burning gaze locked onto me.I turned around and found Kyle.He was dressed in a garish, over-the-top outfit, busy brown-nosing a bloated, nouveau-riche older woman.After the Sniders went bankrupt, he had hitched himself to this mining tycoon, Bella Kemp, just to sneak his way back into high society.Seeing me sitting in the front row, right in the center of the action, Kyle looked ready to spit blood from jealousy.He gritted his teeth, silently vowing to humiliate me at the auction and reclaim his pride.Halfway through the event, the staff wheeled out a massive, waist-high rough stone.The auctioneer hyped it up to the moon, claiming it was freshly imported from an ancient pit in Myrcadia and had a massive chance of containing premium emeralds. The starting bid was at one mill
[Nathan's POV]"What?" Jeremy almost dropped his phone from the shock of the news.Lilian was his pride and joy. His obsession with harassing me vanished in an instant.He whipped around and grabbed Kyle with a desperate grip."Kyle! You're Type A too! Come to the hospital with me and save Lilian!"Without saying another word, Jeremy dragged a visibly panicked Kyle along as they stumbled out of the building and sprinted toward the hospital.When they arrived, Lilian was lying on a gurney in the hallway, her face a sickly, sallow yellow.The gauze wrapped around her thighs was completely saturated with crimson blood. She was on the brink of death, her breathing shallow and ragged."Lilian! My baby girl!" Jeremy threw himself over her, weeping hysterically.Seeing her eyes flutter shut, he grabbed Kyle's hand. "Kyle! Didn't you say before that you'd gladly let them drain you dry to save Lilian? Quick, go with the nurse and donate your blood! Save her!"But Kyle let out a sharp
[Third-Person POV]Kyle excitedly pulled out the black bank card. "We still have that one-million-dollar black card Nathan stole. If we withdraw the cash, we can pay off part of the debt and get Lilian's legs treated."Jeremy snapped out of his daze, a spark of hope reigniting in his eyes.He snatched the card from Kyle and dragged him to the bank while Lilian was sent to the hospital for her leg treatment.…"Withdraw one million dollars in cash right now!"Jeremy slammed the black bank card onto the counter arrogantly, acting as though he were still a wealthy corporate tycoon.When the bank manager saw the top-tier black card, he personally rushed out to assist them.However, when he slid the bank card into their high-security terminal, the machine didn't spit out cash. Instead, a piercing alarm echoed through the lobby.The manager's expression instantly hardened.He coldly pressed the silent panic button beneath the desk. "Sir, this is a Soryn bank black card of the highe
Jeremy froze completely.His phone slipped from his hand, hitting the floor and shattering the screen to pieces.His face turned deathly pale, and his legs buckled, sending him collapsing onto the floor."No… That's impossible! My money…"Suddenly, he snapped his head up to glare at me. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "It was you! Nathan Snider, you did this, didn't you? You did that countdown on purpose to curse me! You ingrate!"Seeing that, Kyle immediately rushed over to support Jeremy.He looked up at Yvonne, his eyes pooling with tears as he spoke in a deeply wronged voice. "Ms. Porter, Nathan was so unstable after finding out he was the fake heir that he resorted to these kinds of parlor tricks just to draw a crowd."He went through all the trouble of sneaking in here tonight and even harassing you shamelessly just to find a backer so he could get revenge on us. Please don't let his innocent appearance fool you. I just can't bear to see someone as noble as you being
The Sniders' sinking ship was about to go under, yet they were blowing the last of their cash on a lavish party.I took a slow sip of champagne and laughed out loud at their pathetic little circus."You're laughing?" Enraged, Jeremy raised his hand to slap me again.Right then, the doors to the ballroom swung open, and the entire room fell into a dead silence.The woman who walked in possessed a commanding presence. It was Yvonne Porter, the famously ruthless heiress to the Porter family in Caldoria.She was also the very same woman I had run into at the hospital.Lilian gasped so hard that she nearly tipped her wheelchair over. She squealed in delight, "Ms. Porter! I-I can't believe you're actually attending our party!"Her heart pounded with excitement. She instantly assumed that Porter Group had recognized the Snider family's potential and wanted to discuss a business deal.Kyle's ears flushed as his heart raced.He had heard stories about Yvonne for years. He believed that
