Since I was a little girl, my mom had always taught me that I deserve all the good things in life. When I was still a student, my copycat roommate bought the same outfit that I had on purpose. She even asked me if she looked fat in it. I just shook my head. "I don't know. I, for one, have an amazing figure, so it definitely looks good on me." Once I start working, a male colleague decides to pursue me. So, I come up with an excuse on the spot and tell him that I already have a boyfriend. He looks at me with pain etched in his eyes. Then, he asks me if I'll take him into consideration after I break up with my boyfriend. I just sneer at him in return. "It seems that you don't love me enough. Otherwise, why aren't you offering to become my side piece?" Due to my principles, everyone keeps cursing me out and calling me an arrogant woman who has no sense of shame behind my back. But one day, when my blind date hears about my personality quirk, he decides to take me back to his home to visit his mother during the holidays. "My mom is the type who keeps demeaning herself for no reason. She keeps claiming that she's unworthy of anything in life. I swear, she's driving me mad! "If you can help my mom get rid of this habit, I'll give you whatever you want." This is definitely an interesting proposal. So, I accept it confidently with a pat on the chest. "Don't worry. Leave it to me."

George tossed the documents down in front of Mrs. Hearth. They held information on my real identity.My parents were both college professors. Even though we weren't wealthy, we still came from an educated, respectable family.Calvin tried to salvage the situation. "Don't look at that, Mom. Uncle George made it all up!"He stepped forward and tried to grab the documents, but Mrs. Hearth stepped aside.While documents could be faked, there were also photos. And the truth was, I really wasn't some rich heiress."Is everything here true, Beryl?" Mrs. Hearth looked at me.Uncertainty flickered in my eyes at that moment. I wasn't sure if this was the right time to come clean.But then I thought about it. Mrs. Hearth's bad habits had already improved, and I would still get paid. Admitting the truth wouldn't really hurt me. If anything, it meant I could wrap things up sooner and go home."That's right, Mrs. Hearth. I did lie to you. My parents aren't businesspeople. They're college pro

From what I'd observed, I also realized that Mrs. Hearth's extreme frugality probably had a lot to do with George.When she was growing up in the village, her family strongly favored George. Anything good automatically went to him first.She had to live like that for over a decade. Habits like that wouldn't disappear overnight.On top of that, she wasn't very educated and still struggled to use a smartphone. Calvin was often busy with work and didn't spend much time with her.As such, even though their financial situation had improved, Mrs. Hearth's way of thinking never really changed.George clearly knew that. He constantly put her down, telling her that she was from the village and was uneducated and that spending money on nice things was a waste on someone like her.Over time, Mrs. Hearth started believing it. Her low self-esteem made her think that she didn't deserve nice things.But today, she'd taken her first step in standing up to George and refused his unreasonable dem

I said, "It's okay if you refuse to admit anything. There are security cameras everywhere nowadays. The police only need a few minutes to figure out where the money went. And don't even think about dodging responsibility. I've got plenty of time."If I remember correctly, your son works for some government office, right? My husband is rich. We can easily hire people to show up at his workplace every day and cause a scene until you pay every dollar back."I sat down on a chair, taking a slow sip from my coffee mug, completely unbothered.George had always been proud of his son being a civil servant. But it was also his Achilles' heel. Sweat broke out across his forehead when he heard my words."You're my older sister, Anne. Are you really going to just stand there and watch me get bullied like this?" Seeing how insistent I was, George quickly turned to the one person in the family he thought he could still manipulate."I don't care. I'm listening to my daughter-in-law. That money

A few days back, when Calvin and I were paying the hospital bills, we noticed some strange charges on Mrs. Hearth's bank card. Some were just a few dollars, while others were tens of thousands.After checking with the bank, Calvin discovered that her card had somehow been added to his uncle's mobile payment apps. His entire family had been using it to pay for almost everything.That meant Mrs. Hearth hadn't been spending any of the money Calvin had been sending her every month. Instead, it had been going toward supporting his uncle's family.When Calvin asked her about it, she was completely unaware of what was going on. Mrs. Hearth vaguely remembered her younger brother visiting one day. He'd fiddled with her phone and asked her to scan her face. He told her it was just to sign her up for some membership program.There had been no news about it after that.Mrs. Hearth was too frugal to even use the money. She'd kept the bank card wrapped in a cloth pouch and kept it on her at a

That night, Calvin gave me a thumbs-up.He said, "You're incredible, Ms. Sheraton. You actually got my mom under control. This is the first holiday feast I've ever enjoyed this much. Get some sleep. We'll be visiting my dad's grave tomorrow."Calvin had always been a thoughtful son. His father had

It was soon dinnertime.Calvin quietly reminded me to only eat the vegetables and avoid everything else.As I sat at the dining table, I thought the holiday feast actually looked decent. But I noticed a major problem upon closer inspection.Right in the center of the table sat a massive seafood p

It wasn't enough to establish things verbally, so I requested that everything be put down in a contract.After signing it, Calvin immediately took me to the mall and bought me several outfits. He paid for everything.Before long, it was New Year's Eve. I went back to his home with him.After beco

Calvin Hearth sat across from me in the cafe, looking troubled. "I'm sorry, Ms. Sheraton. I booked this cafe last minute. I hope you don't mind that it's a little basic," he said.I glanced around before replying, "At least you're aware that it's mediocre."My previous blind date had immediately
