Chapter 1

At once, my arch-nemesis, Sophia Carter, recognized me. "Jill, what are you doing here? You belong in the pigsty," she spat, her expression filled with contempt. "Don't tell me you're here to steal. Do you think a beggar like you belongs in a place like this?"Her impeccable outfit made something stir inside me. Just as I clenched my fists and was about to retort, my biological father, Frank Gibson, walked up to the second floor and looked down at us. "Over these years, I've failed to fulfill my duties as your father, and I owe all of you an apology."So I've prepared 20,000 dollars for each of you as compensation. If you want the money, go find the butler, Gregory Pike."The mansion immediately erupted into chatter."Thank you, Dad!""I'm actually in desperate need of money. You're the best, Dad!"As everyone rushed to Gregory, Sophia scoffed from the side."What a bunch of greedy fools. And they think they're worthy of competing with me for the position of the heir?"Afte

The moment Frank finished speaking, his other 19 daughters pulled out their phones and immediately got to work. "My mom's an entrepreneur, and I've been learning how to make money from her since I was young. I'm definitely going to win!""Please, I have a PhD in finance. Making money is exactly what I'm good at."Each of them had her own strategy. Some immediately opened stock-trading websites, while others pulled up investment fund platforms. One of them used the 100,000 dollars as seed capital and started drafting a business plan on the spot. Another seized on a trending topic and immediately started a live stream. "I'm at Frank Gibson's heir selection! Follow me, and I'll show you the inside story of this wealthy family's inheritance battle!"Meanwhile, I stared helplessly at the bank card one of the bodyguards had handed me. I hadn't even finished high school before the orphanage forced me out to make money by setting up a snack stall. Everyone around me was educated

Chapter 3

At the same time, a series of text messages from Mom appeared before my eyes. "Darling, that's the seat reserved for your father. Whatever you do, don't sit there!"This isn't really about having dinner. They're testing your table manners to see whether you know how to conduct yourself in a formal setting."From now on, stay sharp and do exactly as I tell you."A chill ran down my spine as I immediately waved Gregory off. "Mr. Pike, isn't that the seat reserved for my father? When is he coming?"Gregory flashed me an approving smile. I didn't dare celebrate just yet. Instead, I kept my eyes fixed on Mom's messages. Gregory assigned everyone their seats, but I deliberately held back. I refused to sit until Frank took his place, making sure I was the last one to sit down.Mom's messages continued to appear one after another."Never start eating before your host. Wait until your father picks up his fork first. If you get the chance, make sure to show them what you know."Whe

Realization immediately dawned on me. This was the next round of the competition. Everyone held their breath, giving Frank their full attention. "If one day, my business falls into a crisis and the only way to save it is for you to marry a man who's both infertile and in a coma… Will you do it?"Think carefully. This isn't just a hypothetical situation. It's something that could very well happen."The moment Frank finished speaking, Sophia stepped forward. "I'll do it, Dad!" she declared. "If it means helping you, no sacrifice is too great."And with my abilities, I'm confident I could do more than just save the company through the marriage. I could also use his family's influence to take our business to even greater heights." Seeing this, the other women eagerly stepped forward to prove their loyalty as well. "As your daughter, marrying for the family is my duty. It's something I was born to do. If it's for the sake of our family's honor, I'd even be willing to die!""A

Seeing the weight in Frank's expression, I felt my ears grow hot. Had I been wrong?Mom was on the verge of tears. "Darling, you've gone through so much to make it this far. Why would you suddenly do something so foolish?"Is it hard saying you're willing? You were this close to becoming his heir, and now you've ruined everything yourself."Her message made my heart sink. But there was no taking back what had already been said.Meanwhile, the other daughters were in an uproar over my answer. "Jill, you won't even marry for the sake of the family, and you still think you can become Mr. Gibson's heir?""You just want to enjoy all the benefits without making any sacrifices. Do you really think there's such a thing as a free lunch?""You don't know anything about making money or managing assets, and now you refuse to marry for the family. Do you think Dad is some kind of philanthropist? Why would he take a useless daughter like you into the family?"Certain that I was about to

Everyone was taken aback by Frank's unexpected reaction, but I was the only one who quietly breathed a sigh of relief. "First of all, this marriage is meant to save the company," I said calmly, meeting Frank's gaze. "That means my future husband would see himself as the savior who came to rescue our family."From that point on, he could easily become arrogant. He might even stop taking you seriously, Dad. "You've spent years dominating the business world and earning the respect of countless people. I don't think you'd be willing to let something like that happen."I may not have any experience in business, but I do keep up with the news. I think whoever I marry would use the marriage as an excuse to interfere in your business and gradually gain control over parts of it."I know there are no true friends in the business world. He could even deliberately chip away at your company until everything you've spent years building comes crashing down. I don't think that's something you'd

Chapter 7

After reading through Mom's messages, I turned around. Sure enough, Sophia flashed me a sinister smile. "Jill, I'm staying in the room next to yours tonight. Aren't you happy?"Here's my advice—sleep with your eyes open. If I could steal your chance at being adopted ten years ago, then stealing your chance at inheriting this family ten years later will be just as easy."I knew Sophia wasn't making an empty threat. Over the past ten years, she'd received a proper education, and she was far ahead of me in both physical strength and intelligence. Taking me out would be effortless for her. Sweat broke out across my forehead as I desperately tried to think of a way to protect myself. When Gregory was showing me to my guest room, I finally worked up the courage to catch him by the sleeve."Mr. Pike, this is my first time staying somewhere like this. Not having a phone is going to be really inconvenient."Could I borrow one from you? In case of an emergency, at least I'd have a

Chapter 8

When I finally came to, still groggy and disoriented, the first thing I did was look for Mom's messages. But instead, all I saw was darkness. After struggling for a moment, I realized that I had been tied up, with a blindfold pulled tightly over my eyes. My heart sank. The whole situation was absurd. This was the richest man's heavily guarded home. How could someone possibly abduct me right under everyone's noses?After thinking it over, I began to wonder if this so-called abduction was actually another part of the competition. But the next moment, I heard Sophia's vicious laugh. "Jill, I can't believe you didn't drink the milk. Did you know I'd drug it?"But it doesn't matter. Even though you escaped the poison I slipped you, I still have plenty of ways to get rid of you."The other two useless girls have already been poisoned and can't speak, so they've lost their chance to compete in the next round. Once I get rid of you too, I'll be the rightful heir to Mr. Gibson's fo

Chapter 9

Before Sophia even had time to react, a dark figure lunged at her and tackled her to the ground. All I could hear was a burst of chaos before I was completely surrounded by people. I was still shaken when I heard Gregory's gentle voice."Ms. Murphy, don't be afraid. You're safe now."The black cloth covering my eyes was removed. But before I could even adjust to the light, Mom's tear-filled messages appeared before my eyes."Darling, you're safe now. Don't be scared. Mom will always be here with you."You nearly scared me to death! You couldn't see the messages I was sending you, and even those eerie gusts of wind weren't enough to scare Sophia off."There was nothing I could do, so I had to ask the King of Hell for help and get him to let me appear in your father's dream."I screamed and shouted in his dream for what felt like forever. I finally managed to wake him up and make him realize you were in danger."That old fool has lived most of his life, and this is the first t
