LOGINWhen my billionaire birth parents tried yet again to bring me home, I shook my head without hesitation. As someone practically born with dollar signs in her eyes, I loved money more than just about anything. But even I knew better than to walk straight into the drama of a filthy-rich family. “I may love money more than life itself, but there’s no way I’m stepping into that mess. Knowing my luck, I’d walk away without a dime and get screwed over by the fake heiress instead.” My parents immediately protested. “Xena has always been such a sweet, sensible girl. She’d be too busy spoiling you to ever hurt you.” Since they clearly didn’t believe me, I pulled a document from my pocket titled “Fake Heiress Payback Price List.” “Then sign this first. “If she plants something on me and accuses me of stealing, you owe me a car. “If she hurts herself and frames me for it, you owe me a house. “If she poisons or kidnaps me, I get the entire family fortune. That’s fair, right?” Dad laughed, clearly thinking I was being ridiculous, and signed it on the spot. “Fine. If any of that actually happens, I’ll pay up.” Sure enough, on my very first day home, the fake heiress burst into tears and accused me of stealing the diamond bracelet Mom had given her. My older brother jabbed a finger in my face and called me a classless brat, while my younger sister immediately started patting me down like she wanted to strip-search me. I smiled. Looks like I was about to make some easy money. Mom and Dad were just about to lecture me too when they suddenly remembered the price list I had made them sign. They froze. “Hold on. Nobody accuse her of anything yet. Check the bracelet for fingerprints first.”

Every few seconds, she’d nervously ask, “Does that hurt?”“Am I pressing too hard?”I told her it hurt.Her tears immediately splashed onto my face.I wiped them away.“Tear cleanup fee. A hundred thousand.”Still crying, she pulled out her phone and paid me.I looked at the deposit notification and decided my foot suddenly didn’t hurt quite as much.Dad took an even more direct approach.He transferred control of the family trust, a large block of company shares, and several overseas properties into my name.“Dolly, I know money can’t make up for the eighteen years we lost.“But I really do want to make things right. Can you give me another chance?”I reluctantly nodded.“Throw in eighteen apartment buildings.”Dad paused, then gave me a helpless smile.“Eighteen? I’ll give yo
The courtroom fell silent for a few seconds.Then Xena pointed at Ethan, sobbing.“It was him!”“He told me that if Dolly was gone, everything in the Xander family would go back to normal!“The kidnapping, the fake will, sabotaging Dad’s brakes... He was the one who put those ideas in my head!”Ethan went deathly pale.“Xena, do you even hear yourself right now?”She cried even harder.“Ethan, I didn’t want to do this, but you can’t expect me to take the fall for everything!“You promised you’d always be on my side!”Ethan stood there frozen, looking completely numb.He had come here to ask the judge to go easy on her.And she had turned around and thrown him under the bus.Sitting in the gallery, I let out a quiet sigh.“I’m not sure how to put this one on the price list.”I thought for a moment.“Getting stabbed in the back because you were stupid enough to trust her. Who gets charged for that?”Fiona’s eyes were still red.“Him. He deserves it.”Mr. Zimmer quickly
After Xena was formally charged and taken into custody, the Xander family finally stood firmly on my side.That same day, Dad called a family meeting. He officially disowned Xena and removed her from the family trust and line of inheritance.Mom personally burned all the old family photos with Xena in them.Fiona stood beside her, tossing pictures into the fire and muttering, “Good riddance to that two-faced bitch. And take all your bad luck with you.”I reminded her, “Superstition. Twenty-thousand-dollar fine.”Still crying, she pulled out her phone and paid me.Ethan, however, stayed quiet.The night before the trial, he knocked on my bedroom door.“Dolly.”I was sitting on my bed going through the new trust documents Dad had given me.“Twenty thousand to come in.”He gave me a bitter smile.Then he actually paid.After stepping inside, he placed a letter in front of me.I glanced at it and looked up at him.“You’re asking the judge to go easy on Xena?”His eyes redde
The moment Xena finished speaking, the living room went dead silent.Mom stared at the will, her hands trembling.“Your dad supposedly just died, and you’re already here trying to claim his estate?”Xena dropped to her knees, tears streaming down her face.“Mom, I don’t want this either, but this is what Dad wanted.“He said Dolly cares too much about money. He could never let the Xander family fortune fall into her hands.”Sitting in my wheelchair, I reached down and patted the price list in my lap.Wow.She was even willing to use a dead man as her scapegoat.Fiona stormed over and tried to snatch the will out of her hand.“Bullshit! Dad would never leave everything to a murderer like you!”Several men standing behind Xena immediately stepped forward and blocked her.I narrowed my eyes.“You seriously brought backup into our house?”Xena finally dropped the innocent act.She stood up, wiped away her tears, and smiled coldly.“Of course.“Dad’s dead. Mom can’t think s
