Semua Bab Rich Kid Rescue Mission: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Just like I planned, I landed right in a warm, solid chest.The guy barely looked at me. After steadying me, he let go fast. "You okay?"I gave a tiny nod, playing tough even though my cheek was throbbing. "I'm fine. Just tripped."Our eyes met—and yeah, he paused.But Chloe? She saw a whole different movie.She screeched and came flying at me. "Darian, why are you touching her?! Is that tramp trying to seduce you again?!"Before she could get close, Darian caught her arm.His expression twitched—definitely annoyed—but his voice stayed calm. "Chloe, what's with you today?"Leah's just the fiancée my parents picked. It's not even real."You know I love you. But if she gets hurt because of this, my parents are gonna hate you even more. Then how am I supposed to marry you?"Bernard jumped in. "Leah's been nothing but nice. Chloe, why'd you slap her?"Chloe, breathing hard, realized fast the room wasn't on her side. She forced out a smile that was somehow worse than crying. "Sor

Someone posted the slap video on the school forum. Boom—everything flipped.[Leah Lovley's literally the Drummonds' pick. Chloe's just the side chick.][So over Chloe acting like she's royalty. Her dad's only relevant 'cause he leeches off Darian. What's she even flexing?]The forum roasted me too — manipulative, fake, pity-party queen. By morning every comment vanished. Classic Darian.He went ice-cold with Chloe. No more chauffeuring, no surprise gifts.Meanwhile I was basically living at the Drummond mansion. We kept bumping into each other. He started slipping me tiny presents. I'd post a cute thank-you.Surface: chill. Underneath: different current.Chloe couldn't handle it.Her little fan club flipped—now they were mine. Darian barely glanced her way, sometimes joking with me instead. Chloe was unraveling.A week later she stopped me after school. "Leah, about the other day... I'm really sorry. Dinner? My treat."I saw the glint. I nodded.'You couldn't beat me five ye

That's when Rainee burst in, out of breath, eyes blazing. "I can prove Leah's innocent! Chloe told me she wanted to take Leah to dinner to apologize—that's the only reason they went."And Chloe, seriously? How could Leah have staged the whole thing in advance when YOU were the one who invited her?"Chloe's face drained. She never saw her little sidekick flipping on her."Rainee, are you even my friend? Whose side are you on?!"Rainee stood firm. "I WAS your friend. But all these years I was just backup—someone you used to gang up on others. Leah's different. These past few days with her have been the happiest I've ever felt in college."Chloe's panic hit full tilt. She spun to Darian, sobbing. "Darian, listen, it's not what you think—""Enough!" His voice cut sharp, his eyes heavy with disappointment. "I thought you were just spoiled, that's why I always let things slide. But this? You couldn't even stand an innocent girl. I need space. From today on, don't contact me."The word

Chloe's reputation went up in flames after that night.Darian made sure she got punished, and the school forum roasted her alive:[I've hated Chloe Ackley forever. Anyone near Darian got bullied by her crew. She had it coming.][She acted like royalty just for dating him. Imagine if she actually married into the Drummonds. Thank god karma showed up.]Her family had to beg, bribe, and basically sell their souls to drag her out of that mess.Me? Mission accomplished. I scored twenty million in cash, ten houses across the country, and a fat stack of stock. The total value was fifty million.The only problem? Disappearing without a trace.Darian had completely dumped Chloe, but now all his attention was glued on me.I dodged his confessions a few times, but deep down I knew—time to plan my escape.Right when I was about to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Drummond, the Ackleys crashed back in.Chloe looked awful. Her skin was gray, her vibe sucked, nothing like the smug queen she'd been a mo

I filed my transfer and enrolled at another school—an Ivy abroad.Years ago, Grandma hugged me close, pointing at that university's name on the TV."Allie, get into a good college someday. Stand up for yourself. Your grandpa and I won't be here forever. Don't worry about tuition—just aim high..."She'd only finished elementary school and ruined her eyesight working side jobs to raise Walter. She had no clue how pricey—or impossible—that dream really was.But now, I'd made it.The day I left, I moved quietly—no goodbyes, no speeches. Just me and the road.As the car pulled toward the airport, a massive truck went rogue and barreled at us. In seconds, my ride was scrap metal.And behind the wheel? Chloe.The truck slammed in. The car exploded into fire. Chloe stumbled out, cackling like a madwoman."You're finally dead! If I can't marry into money, Allison, then you don't get to live easy either! How's it feel to be ground into pieces, huh? That's what you get for always going a
