Chapter 1

Seeing me go quiet, Karen Kosner figured she'd gotten through to me. Her face immediately shifted into that fake, sugary-sweet look of concern."Jennifer, I'm not trying to rag on you, but your salary isn't even that high. If you keep throwing money around like this, what's gonna happen to you down the road?"Look at the bus pass I use—it's cheap and practical."Go ask for time off later and return that stupid bike. I'll take you to get a bus card instead. All the money you save could go toward a small two-bedroom place for you to get married in."I had hidden who I really was to train at my family's company, and in just half a month, I'd be taking the family's final evaluation.For now, I had to swallow my anger."Karen, seriously, don't go to all that trouble. I like the bike just fine. I'm not returning it.""Besides, I already have a place to live. I'm not thinking about buying another house right now."To be closer to work, I'd bought my current apartment right before I st

"You're basically forcing my brother to take out money from loan sharks!" Karen spat.My blood boiled. I tried again and again to hold myself back, but by the end, I was shaking with rage."My money is mine. I can spend it however I want, and nobody gets to stop me. Forget spending two thousand dollars on a bike—even if I tore it apart and sold the pieces as scrap for fun, you'd still have no right to interfere!"Seeing that I was genuinely angry, and with the other coworkers whispering, pointing, and laughing under their breath, Karen's expression turned ugly.Unable to save face, she just sat back down at her desk with a dark look on her face.I swore to myself that from then on, I'd stay as far away from her as possible. If I couldn't afford to fight her, I could at least avoid her.I thought the matter would end there.But while I was in the bathroom, she actually followed me inside.Bang.The door slammed shut behind her.The sound startled me so badly that I jerked upri

I was the sole heir to the Ritchie family.Ever since I was little, I'd known exactly how heavy the responsibilities on my shoulders were. So I decided to pretend I was selectively blind and simply ignore that lunatic woman.At eight that evening, Karen sent me a location pin. It was some roadside food stall next to a cheap motel.Another message followed immediately after: [Emergency. Come now!]The sight of it irritated me so much that I locked my phone screen. I couldn't even work up the mood to keep playing my game.Then suddenly, my phone rang shrilly.Seeing Karen's name on the caller ID instantly put me in a foul mood, and I hung up without hesitation.She called more than ten times after that.I ignored every single one.A new message popped up: [Jennifer, what's your problem? Why aren't you replying or answering your phone?!]I hesitated for a few seconds before finally typing back with mixed emotions.Jennifer: [If it's about work, we can discuss it during office h

They knew I was the Ritchie family's heiress?Bryan Kenwood hurried over, his face plastered with a fawning smile."Karen's brother is such a great catch. You're so lucky. Honestly, why would you wanna keep working like a corporate slave?"Karen?My chest tightened painfully, but then I glanced down and realized the cardboard box was filled with my office belongings."What is the meaning of this?!"Karen strutted over with a smug expression."What else could it mean? You're fired."It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me. My temples throbbed violently with rage.Karen crossed her arms proudly, looking unbearably self-satisfied."Well? Aren't you happy?"Happy?Oh, absolutely. So happy I wanted to bite someone.Samantha smiled as she tried to talk some sense into me."We already heard all about you and your husband from Karen. What married couple doesn't argue every now and then?"Your husband treats you so well. So what if he just forgot your anniversary? Guys who

"Which blind idiot dared to mess with my girl?! If you're tired of living, just say so!"A young guy with a cocky, troublemaker vibe walked into the office, his irritated glare sweeping across the room.Then his eyes landed hard on Karen.This was Ronny Spiegel, the future sole heir of the Spiegel Group. He was the notorious hell-raiser of our social circle, as well as my childhood friend and arranged fiancé.Everyone was thrown off by the scene he was causing and exchanged confused looks.But Karen reacted the fastest. Her face immediately twisted with righteous fury as she started hurling accusations."So it's true, Jennifer! You're cheating right under my nose! My family treats you so well, and my brother practically kisses the ground you walk on, yet you dare use our family's money to keep some pretty boy on the side?!"What terrible luck for our family to end up with a curse like you! You wasting our money is the same as trying to kill us! Give the money back right now!"A

"You're so wild at heart, and you can't even behave like a decent human being!"At the very least, return their money, compensate them for emotional distress, and apologize properly. End things peacefully if you want to break up. Why resort to violence?"These coworkers, completely ignorant of the truth, had chosen to believe Karen's one-sided story without question.In their eyes, I was already nailed to the pillar of shame—the unforgivable one at fault.It was honestly so absurd I almost wanted to laugh.Meanwhile, Ronny stood beside me, looking thoroughly entertained, as though he were watching a drama unfold. If he weren't worried about my feelings, he probably would've burst out laughing already.I stared coldly at everyone present, my expression deadly serious."What makes all of you so certain that I'm her future sister-in-law? And what makes you think the money I spend belongs to her family?"Seeing me refuse to admit it, Bryan grew even angrier."Jennifer, stop preten

Chapter 7

The shouting and insults grew louder and louder, but I found the whole thing unbearably meaningless.Just then, several police officers arrived.Ronny had called the police on his way over.Soon after, they found all of my missing belongings inside Karen's bag.Realizing she was about to be taken away, Karen suddenly lifted her head. The fear in her eyes vanished, replaced once again by vicious determination."Officers, I'm innocent! They framed me! Jennifer told me to hold onto those things for her. I didn't steal anything!"As for the marriage matter, she was the one who got on her knees begging me. She said she couldn't live without my husband and begged me to divorce him so she could marry him instead."To hide her disgusting intentions, she promised me a huge amount of hush money and asked me to pretend in front of everyone that the man she was marrying was my younger brother."From beginning to end, I was simply too kind and trusted her lies. I pitied her and wanted to gi

Chapter 8

Anyone with half a brain could tell at a glance which man a woman would choose."So... that's the 'younger brother' Karen kept talking about?""No, wait. That should be her husband.""She even showed me pictures before. The guy in the photos was ridiculously handsome. Turns out every single one was fake!""That couple is absolutely disgusting! Working together to deceive an innocent young woman like this. They're trying to ruin her entire life!""People like them belong in prison forever. They should never be let out to hurt anyone else again."At that moment, Ronny sent me a file.I skimmed through it quickly and couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath.I'd thought running into those two lunatics was already the worst luck imaginable.Who would've guessed that it was only the tip of the iceberg?I picked up my phone solemnly and walked toward the police officers."Officer, I have additional evidence to submit."…After arriving at the police station and finishing my state

The air suddenly felt hot and stuffy. Feeling awkward, I quickly turned my head away."Stop fooling around. In another two months, your family's assessment will begin too. You should worry about yourself and pray you pass."Leaning back against the seat, I stared out the window."No rush. Look at this first.""What is it?"I took the document from him and realized it was the termination notice from the company.I shot to my feet in shock, my voice rising excitedly."You actually...""I got it back from HR. I told you. I can handle any trouble for you."Ronny looked unbearably smug, almost childish, as if silently saying, 'Hurry up and praise me.'According to the rules, those undergoing the family assessment weren't allowed to use any shortcuts or outside influence to cheat. But Ronny counted as external support, so technically it wasn't against the rules."Thank you so much."Overcome with happiness, I threw my arms around him and planted a deep kiss on his cheek.He froz

Chapter 10

"From this moment on, he will be transferred to a psychiatric hospital for treatment," Dr. Sherman said flatly. "Until he is fully recovered."Before Eli could react, several men restrained him and forcibly dragged him away.He struggled wildly, roaring in fury."Jennifer! You bitch! Just wait until I get out—I'll be the first to kill you!"Unfortunately for him, he would never get out again.Seeing Eli brought to such a miserable end, Karen was utterly terrified.She dropped to her knees in front of me with a thud and began slapping herself hard across the face."Ms. Ritchie… I'm a monster. I was wrong to ever have bad intentions toward you!"Still feeling it wasn't enough, she slammed her head against the floor several times in succession.Blood trickled down her face, leaving her a pitiful, disheveled mess.I spoke up."Enough. Stop with the useless theatrics. As for my demands, Harvey has already made them very clear. So, your decision—are you signing, or...""I'll sign
