Chapter 1

The moment I finished speaking, the air in the private room seemed to freeze.“Did I hear that right? Did Zephyr Golding just insult Eula Ross?”“Tsk, tsk, tsk. He’s usually such a subservient simp. What a sudden change!”Eula’s expression turned red with rage.“Say that again!”Luke Stetson, who had been leaning against her the whole time, gently tugged at her sleeve.“It’s okay, Eula. I’m not worthy of having you and the Golding family’s eldest son accompany me to Blue Oak Technical School.”As he spoke, he glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. His gaze carried a hint of barely perceptible defiance.After Luke’s “persuasion,” Eula barked at me.“Zephyr Golding, apologize!”Whenever I heard those words in the past, I would have apologized without hesitation.Because the moment I showed the slightest resistance, a sharp, electric shock would jolt through my brain. It would inflict unbearable pain.I waited two seconds, three seconds…No electric shock came.It seeme

My blood boiled with rage.I pulled out my phone to call the police. But just as I pressed the call button, a hand knocked it out of my hand. It crashed heavily to the ground.Luke stood in front of me. He wore an innocent yet hurt expression.“Zephyr, I know you look down on me and think that ordinary classmates like us aren’t worthy of entering your home.“But how could you call the police to arrest us just because we came over to Eula’s house to hang out?“What did we do wrong?”His words instantly ignited everyone’s anger.“We’re just here to have some fun. Do you really need to call the cops?“Do you really think you’re some big shot? How could you be so cruel!”Eula raised her hand and slapped me hard across the face twice.“Zephyr, have I spoiled you too much?”My cheeks burned with pain. A metallic taste filled my mouth.Luke covered his mouth. He put up a fake, heartbroken expression.“It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, none of you would have upset Zephyr.

“Eula! Have you no conscience left?!“That’s my grandmother’s heirloom!“What right do you have to give it away?!“For the sake of the seven years our family raised you, give it back to me!”Eula’s face instantly twisted into a hideous grimace.Smack!With a sharp slap, my head was violently jerked to the side. My ears rang.Eula hated it most when people brought up her past as a dependent.It shattered what little self-respect she had left into a million pieces.“Who told you to bring that up?!“As expected, you really have always looked down on me!“Zephyr, you really have always thought of me as nothing more than a dog your family kept!”Luke wrapped his arm around her as he added fuel to the fire.“Eula, don’t get angry. Zephyr didn’t mean it. He’s just in a bad mood.”As he spoke, his gaze drifted casually toward my room. A sinister smile played on his lips.“By the way, I think I saw Zephyr’s computer in his room just now. The browser was even logged in.“Why don’

“Zephyr, take a good look. This is your future!”The moment she finished speaking, she let go with a sudden jerk.The casing shattered instantly.One of the shards grazed my cheek, leaving a thin trail of blood.I really could not understand what our family had ever done to her.She was doing everything in her power to destroy me.I braced myself against the cold floor, slowly stood up, and walked toward the door.There was still time. I was going to find a computer and change my college application.“Oh, right, I almost forgot. Tomorrow is the deadline for college applications.”Luke covered his mouth, feigning surprise.“Zephyr, you aren’t planning on going to an internet cafe to change your application, are you?”My heart sank.Eula looked at me with an unexpectedly dark expression.“Lock him in the basement.”She gave concise orders to the two lackeys by her side.The basement of my house was dark and damp. It never saw the light of day.Most importantly, I had clau

Her expression darkened. She immediately pulled out her phone to call me, but no one answered.Eula muttered a curse under her breath. Her expression was a mix of irritation and disdain.“Does Zephyr think he can force me to go back and plead with him for mercy with these tactics? He’s laughably naive!”Luke added fuel to the fire. “Zephyr is way too much. He just can’t stand to see you happy.”“Forget about him. Does he think cutting off my card means I’m broke?”Eula scoffed and pulled out another card from her wallet.“I still have my own savings. It’s more than enough for us to have fun.”She thought I was just throwing a tantrum.Once she had had her fill of partying and came back, a few soothing words would be enough to make me come crawling back to her, tail wagging, just like before.Having made up her mind, she continued partying with Luke until she had spent every last penny she had.The first day of school finally arrived.Eula rushed to the entrance of the commun

The stares of the freshmen and parents waiting in line all turned sharply toward her.“What’s this nonsense?!”Furious and humiliated, she snatched her card back and dialed my number without a second thought.She only heard a busy tone. She was still blocked.A surge of uncontrollable rage shot through her. She nearly flung her phone to the ground.In a panic, she scrolled through her contacts. She found my father’s assistant’s number and dialed it.As soon as the call connected, Eula resumed her haughty, high-and-mighty demeanor and ordered in a bossy tone, “Mr. Zieg? I don’t care what you’re doing right now. Unfreeze my bank card, immediately, right this second!“Zephyr is throwing a tantrum, and now you’re joining in? This is just a misunderstanding!”The assistant spoke without a trace of emotion.“Miss Ross, I think you may have misunderstood. This was the chairman’s decision.“He has formally terminated the adoption relationship with you through legal channels.“From n

Just as the two of them were getting ready to head to the priciest restaurant near campus to “celebrate,” Eula’s phone started vibrating like crazy.She instinctively assumed it was me, finally backing down and sending a text to make amends.She could not help but smile as a hint of smugness and certainty played on her face.However, when she unlocked the screen. It was not my profile picture she saw.Instead, it was that long-dormant high school class group chat.At that moment, messages were flooding in at a rate of dozens per second, and the tags notification wouldn’t stop.[Eula Ross, get your butt here right now! What the hell do you think you’re doing?][You invited us to your house for a party, and now the Golding family is sending us a legal notice demanding compensation? What’s with 300,000 dollars for a vase? Why don’t you just go rob a bank?!][My parents are going to kill me when they see that letter! Eula, you’re the one who started this. You deal with it yourself!

The audience erupted in a thunderous, undying applause.…Eula could not help but check her phone every couple minutes. But there were still no messages.Zephyr had blocked her.This realization felt like a steel needle piercing deep into Eula’s nerves.How dare he? What gave him the right?The man who had obeyed her every command for the past seven years and tailed after her like a lap dog actually dared to block her!She flung her phone onto the coffee table in frustration. Luke, who was cowering in the corner of the sofa, shuddered from fear.The coffee table was piled high with leftover takeout boxes. Several empty liquor bottles lay scattered about.“Has Zephyr come crawling back yet?”Luke tentatively suggested, “Why don’t I apologize to him on your behalf?”Eula whipped her head around and glared at him.“Why should I apologize to him? Who does he even think he is?”“He’s just a yes-man who comes when called and goes when dismissed. Does he really think he’s somethi

“Please get a grip on the situation. We broke up the moment you tried to ruin my future.”I tried my best to keep my emotions in check, but I could not help raising my voice.Eula clearly had not expected such a firm rejection. Her face instantly turned ashen.“But you got into Ozford too! You didn’t even tell me you had received direct admission!”She lowered her voice, a hint of threat in it. “Zephyr, there’s a limit to your nonsense!“Don’t forget, you’re supposed to marry me someday. Be careful, or I might never marry you!”I gave a cold laugh and fired back without flinching.“I don’t need to! Who wants to marry you anyway?“You should save yourself for your true love, Luke. You two are a match made in heaven!”She sparked a look of sudden realization and smugly assumed I was just jealous.“So you actually care about Luke? I can break up with him. Will that make you happy?”She paused for a moment before she started complaining again.“You really are something, sneakin

Chapter 10

Luke nearly fainted. He had never seen so much money in his life.Panicked, he quickly called Eula.“Eula, Zephyr is suing me and demanding ten million dollars in compensation! You’ve got to figure something out fast!”At that moment, Eula was wandering the streets like a stray dog.Luke’s words only made her even more distraught. So, she snapped back angrily, “I don’t have a damn penny! I can barely make ends meet myself right now!”Hearing that, Luke completely lost it.He screamed hysterically into the phone, “No money? If you didn’t have money, why the heck were you pretending to be rich?“I spent every last penny I had for you, you good-for-nothing! You’re nothing but a disaster!“I must have been blind to ever fall for trash like you!”Eula was also furious at being berated like this and roared back, “If it weren’t for you, would Zephyr have dumped me? I’m telling you: It’s all your fault!”Luke was livid and retorted with biting sarcasm, “My fault? Don’t you have any i
