My Rich Family Thinks I’m Scamming Them Chapter 10
The mountain air was much fresher than the air in the city.When Grandpa first arrived, everyone in the village came out to see him.My adoptive father slaughtered the old hen he had been raising for two years and dug up fresh potatoes from the back of the mountain. Then, he simmered them together in a huge pot of soup.I felt a little reluctant to see the chicken go. Still, he tapped me on the head.“That’s what we raise chickens for: to eat them. Nothing matters more than getting your grandpa back to good health.”Grandpa drank half a bowl of soup, his eyes crinkling with delight.Father and Mother came to visit every few days. At first, they brought expensive health supplements and imported medical equipment.However, after realizing Grandpa did not care for any of it, they started bringing seeds, chicks, and tools for weaving wicker baskets instead.The first time Mother tried working in the fields, she stepped into the mud and took a nasty fall.I helped her up. Her eyes

The police spent an entire month investigating the case.Mr. Zellen embezzled the nursing funds using forged contracts, while Alistair helped falsify the paperwork and received multiple illicit transfers.At first, Alistair denied everything. Only when the recording, the maid’s video, and the bank statements were laid out before him did he finally lower his head.Most of the $900,000 was recovered.Father had the finance department recalculate the accounts and personally covered the remaining amount. Every last cent was deposited into Grandpa’s medical account.The two maids from the old residence were also dismissed.Before they left, they apologized to me. “Master Zachary, we knew Mr. Zellen was bullying you, but we were too afraid to speak up.”I did not hold it against them. I simply made sure they received all the wages they were owed and told them never to treat other people’s suffering as entertainment again.After Grandpa was transferred to the hospital, his health grad

Everyone was startled for a moment.Ever since Grandpa suffered his stroke, he had not spoken a single word for a very long time.However, Alistair suddenly stumbled backward.“Grandpa’s delirious. He couldn’t possibly be talking about me.”Grandpa’s finger remained pointed at him. “Bad... Bad...”I gently took Grandpa’s hand and said, “It’s okay, Grandpa. Don’t rush.”The specialist immediately stepped forward to examine him. Half an hour later, the examination results came back. Despite being bedridden for so long, Grandpa had not developed a single pressure sore.His joints were not severely stiff, and he retained a reasonable amount of strength in his leg muscles.The specialist asked, “Who usually turns him over and massages him?”I answered softly, “I do.”“I turn him over six times a day and massage him twice, once in the morning and once at night. On sunny days, I also help him sit up so he can enjoy some sunlight.”The specialist then examined the homemade care pa

Mother staggered back a step.“How could something that cost $1 million possibly be worth only $200?”The expert removed the gold nameplate.“The certificate is fake too. Neither the seal nor the serial number matches any real records.”Father snatched the rosewood box and slammed it down on the table.“Alistair! Explain yourself!”Tears instantly spilled from Alistair's eyes.“Father, I was scammed! I only wanted to buy the best for Grandpa. I had no idea the Phoenix Root was fake!”Mr. Zellen let out a laugh from beside him.“You were singing a very different tune when you paid $200 for that Phoenix Root and asked me to issue a receipt for $1 million.”Alistair whipped around. “Shut your mouth!”He quickly realized he had let something extremely revealing slip. All the color drained from his face.Enraged by his outburst, Mr. Zellen decided to expose him. He pulled up a recording on his phone.Alistair’s gentle voice came through the speaker.“Make the accounts look c

The moment the accounting room door swung open, a musty smell wafted out. Several cardboard boxes were piled in the corner, covered in dust.Mr. Zellen blocked the doorway.“They’re all just old belongings of Mr. Spencer Sr. There’s nothing worth looking into.”Father gestured for the bodyguards to pull him aside. Eliana opened the account books herself. The very first page listed the purchase of imported incontinence pads in March, costing $2,000.I stared at the entry in disbelief.“Grandpa has never used imported incontinence pads. I’ve always made his bedding pads out of old bedsheets.”The next page showed that a senior caregiver had been hired in April, with a salary of $30,000.Mother pointed toward the two maids standing in the yard and asked, “Where is this caregiver?”The two maids shook their heads frantically.“We’re only here to do the cleaning. Master Zachary has always been the one looking after Mr. Spencer Sr.”Eliana continued flipping through the account b

Eliana held my phone in her hand and remained silent for a long time.Her fingers kept scrolling up the screen.[$150.][$150.][$150.]Nine months of records, and those were the only scattered deposits.Mother snatched the phone from her.“That’s impossible. The finance department transfers the money on time every month. How could he have received only $150?”Mr. Zellen immediately pushed his way forward.“Mrs. Spencer, he must have another bank account. Master Zachary has always been wary of us. He never lets me see his account details.”I shook my head in confusion.“This is my only bank card. You were the one who took me to open it after I returned to the Spencer family.”Father’s expression turned cold as he instructed, “Get someone from the finance department here.”Mr. Zellen’s face paled slightly. “Mr. Spencer, Mr. Spencer Sr. is still waiting for the specialists to examine him. There’s no harm in looking into the accounts later.”Eliana raised her eyes to look at
