It was Christmas Eve. Once again, my parents left me alone at home, chasing triple pay at work. However, after twenty years of the same lonely holiday, I couldn’t take it anymore. I didn’t want to sit in the quiet house by myself again, so I packed up some sandwiches and went to them. What I didn’t expect was to see them stepping out of a luxury car, arms linked with a boy who looked about my age, laughing like they didn’t have a care in the world, heading straight into a five-star hotel. “Mom, Dad, is it okay to leave Suzie all alone at home like that?” My mom waved it off and said, “It’s fine. She’s used to it.” My dad just brushed it off with a chuckle. “She’s nothing like you. You're our real treasure.” Upon hearing that, I turned and walked away. They'd been pretending to be broke all these years, lying to me about working overtime, about scraping by. Well, fine. If they don’t want me, I’m done wanting them, too.

Riches in Ruins Chapter 7
Xander completely lost it. He thrashed and struggled, but it was no use. The police had arrived, and with the restaurant’s security footage clearly showing everything, he was taken away on the spot.As for my parents, they turned to look at me.“Suzie, we’re so sorry,” Mom said softly.Dad added, “I’m truly sorry, sweetheart. Can you give me a chance to make it right? I’ll hand the company over to you. You can run it however you want. Please?”I shook my head and stepped back, pulling out of Mom’s embrace.“No thanks. I’m not interested.”Mom immediately jumped in. “Suzie, I know you’ve always wanted to do research. I’ll get you a lab if that’s what you want. Whatever you want to do, I’ll support it, okay? Just… give me a chance to make up for what I did.”I couldn’t help but laugh. “Are you really trying to make it up to me, or are you just trying to save Marvel Corp’s business? Marvel Corp’s stock is crashing, Xander is going to prison, your empire is falling apart, and now yo
Riches in Ruins Chapter 6
I wouldn’t regret it.If they had shown me even the slightest bit of kindness or sincerity three years ago, I might’ve stayed. However, I knew the truth now. Everything they did to me was all because of some vague prophecy from a so-called ‘fortune teller.’One offhand comment from that fraud, and they turned their backs on me like I was cursed.I still wondered—what if he had said one more thing? Would they have gone so far as to get rid of me entirely, considering I was that close to being sent away? Just thinking about it makes it impossible to forgive them.Hence, when Professor Dunn put my name forward for the assignment, I jumped at the opportunity. I didn’t tell anyone I was leaving. Only Professor Dunn and a few close upperclassmen knew.Before I left, they threw me a little farewell dinner at a five-star hotel.As I looked around, I couldn’t help but sigh. “Three years ago, on Christmas Eve, I followed my parents here in secret and saw them having dinner with Xander.

I turned to leave after saying my piece, but Dad still motioned for the bodyguards to stop me.I took a deep breath and said. “Do you think they can stop me? Do you even understand the kind of status I have now? I’m not someone you can mess with. Go ahead. Try it. If I’m not out that door in five minutes, let’s see how fast the police show up.”He slumped back onto the couch, waving his hand weakly to let me go. I walked out without looking back.Behind me, Mom started screaming like her heart was breaking, but I didn’t respond. Emotions that came too late weren’t worth a thing. Whatever love they claimed to have… Well, that love died a long time ago. The moment I saw Xavier, I understood everything.Sure, I came back, but this meeting didn’t change a thing. They still didn’t get it, and I truly didn’t want them in my life anymore.Mom even had the nerve to talk to the media about it. She went on camera and publicly aired all our dirty laundry. Just like that, the internet turne

The moment Mom saw me, she rushed over. However, as she got close, I instinctively stepped back two full steps.She looked hurt for a second but didn’t say much. Dad also came over, and so did my grandparents. They were all inside, waiting.I sat down across from them and raised an eyebrow. The whole setup felt way too serious.“If you’ve got something to say, just spit it out.”“Suzie…” Mom started, her voice unusually soft. “We’re sorry. This… All of this is our fault. You were born first. You were chubby and fair-skinned, so perfect. But then your grandma brought in a fortune-teller, and he said yours and your brother’s fates clashed. Together, you would bring him bad luck. I didn’t know what to do.“In our family, the son is supposed to inherit the family business, so the decision was made to separate you two. At first, we even thought about giving you away, but I couldn’t do it. In the end, we all agreed to raise you poor instead. That way, you wouldn’t grow up stealing the s
