Chapter 7

작가: Pink Candy
Three days later, the investigation results came back.

During those three days, I didn't return home.

The production team arranged a private lounge for me, and the doctor came to check on me every day.

Father, Ethan, and Adrian took turns calling.

I didn't answer a single one of them.

It wasn't that I didn't want to.

But every time I saw their names on my screen, I remembered those thirty coins.

I remembered walking forty minutes to school just to save a single coin.

I remembered that half-eaten

  • The Pack's Lost Girl, The Alpha's Forgotten Daughter   Chapter 10

    A month later, the investigation into John was officially concluded.He had abused his position as the family butler to embezzle family funds and falsify my spending records, redirecting my living expenses to Lily.Lily was also found guilty of colluding with him and providing false information. As a result, some of the special privileges the family had granted her were revoked.Father no longer tried to defend her.Ethan personally brought me the investigation report."All the money has been recovered. More than four hundred thousand coins in total."I flipped through a few pages and closed the file."I see."He stood beside the table, seemingly wanting to say something.In the end, he only asked:"Are you still angry with me?"I looked at him."Ethan, I don't spend every day thinking about being angry."The hope in his eyes had barely begun to rise when I continued."But just because you've apologized doesn't mean I can pretend none of those things ever happened."He was silent for a

    The car was quiet.Father sat in the passenger seat, Ethan was driving, and Adrian sat beside me.None of them brought up going home again.After we left the village, Father turned around to look at me."Are you hungry? I've asked the kitchen to prepare some of your old favorites."I shook my head."I already ate in the village."He paused."Then we'll take the food home. You can have it whenever you're hungry."I didn't refuse.Eventually, the car pulled up outside our house.The familiar garden, the familiar fountain, and the porch light that had always been left on.When I got out, the butler was nowhere to be seen.Father explained that John's case was still under investigation, so the position of family butler was temporarily vacant.The living room was filled with things.New clothes, shoes, jewelry, and rows of beautifully wrapped gift boxes.Father gestured toward them."These are all for you."Ethan added:"We've reorganized your walk-in closet, too. I had all your old clothes

    Early the next morning, I arrived in the courtyard right on time.The production team had assumed that after everything that happened over the past few days, I'd choose to rest.They hadn't expected me to be the first one at the meeting point.When Daniel saw me, he handed me a new pair of work gloves."How are you feeling?""Much better."I took the gloves and put them on.Today's tasks were to clear the vegetable garden, repair the fence, and fetch water from the river.The other contestants looked at the mountain of tools scattered around the courtyard, their faces full of dread.Vivian crouched beside the vegetable patch, staring at the weeds with a sigh."How long is it going to take to pull all of these out?"I walked over and picked up a hoe."You have to dig out the roots first. Otherwise, they'll just grow back in a few days."With that, I bent down and got to work.I moved quickly.First, I cleared the weeds. Then I turned over the soil and finally gathered the stones and dea

    Ten minutes later, the livestream resumed.Butler John appeared on the screen.He was sitting in our living room, with a newly installed display cabinet behind him.It was filled with Lily's collectible figures, sneaker boxes, and gaming merchandise.Lily sat beside him, looking perfectly made up.John crossed his legs and sighed before speaking."Alpha, please don't let a few words from Cecilia cloud your judgment.""She's at that age where she'll say anything to gain sympathy."Father placed the two transaction records side by side in front of the camera."John, I transfer thirty thousand coins to you every month. The notes clearly state that the money is for Cecilia's food and living expenses.""Why has she only been receiving thirty?"John's expression changed."Well... there may have been some misunderstanding.""What misunderstanding?""Cecilia has always had rather high expenses. I've simply allocated the money according to her actual needs. As for the rest, I've been keeping it

    The livestream was suspended.I was taken to a lounge, where the doctor told me to lean back in my chair and stop eating for the time being.There was stomach medication and a glass of warm water on the table.I stared at the pills, my palms growing clammy.I was doomed.Ethan and Adrian must have seen everything.They'd specifically warned me never to bring up money.And I'd done exactly that, right in front of the live cameras.What would happen to my thirty coins next month?If they stopped giving me money, I wouldn't even be able to top up my meal card.Suddenly, the door swung open.Father walked in.He was wearing a dark suit, and his hair was slightly disheveled, as if he'd rushed all the way here.I instinctively stood up."Father."That was all I managed to say before my throat tightened.He stopped in the doorway and looked at me.His expression wasn't nearly as cold as I'd expected.There was shock in his eyes, along with concern and barely restrained fury.And something els
