Chapter 1

In the ensuing silence, Layla Marsh said, “That’s impossible. I ask Rowan to send the money to you every month.”But Clark Marsh stared at her and clenched his fists. He said with a quivering voice, “But Mom, I’m not lying. Over the past year, I only received three hundred dollars every month…”I gave a stiff, awkward smile. Just as I was about to say that there had been some kind of misunderstanding, Clark gritted his teeth and said, “Mom, I’m sorry. I didn’t know that it was his birthday today and didn’t come here to cause trouble. “I just needed two hundred dollars to buy gastric medicine…”He looked so meek that it caused the people to have complicated expressions on their faces. They exchanged looks. Naturally, I knew what they were thinking about. It was my birthday. In order to make me happy, Layla had made sure to throw an extraordinarily lavish party. The cake alone cost six figures. There was also the birthday gift for me. It was a limited-edition racecar that cost

Huh? Where did that come from?I stared at Clark in surprise. But he just sneered. Refusing to back down, he looked back at me with eyes burning with resentment. “Mr. Stane, haven’t you been making my life a living hell the last year?“You told me to walk more than thirty thousand steps a day, and only then would I be able to get my three-hundred-dollar monthly allowance. If I fail even once, I’ll get thirty dollars deducted. “Once, I was burning up and wanted to get my monthly allowance ahead of time to see the doctor, but you asked me to write a three-thousand-word application. When I was finally done, you rejected the application because of a typo. “I had to suffer burning with a fever for three days and nights. Aren’t you the one who did all those things?!”Then, he tossed out a card that contained only 16.80 dollars. He threw out yet another medical report that stated that he was severely malnourished, suffered from low blood sugar, and had gastritis. Finally, he show

Surprise flashed in Clark’s eyes, and he clenched his fists. Layla had stayed silent all this while, and she finally said, “Enough, Clark. Head home first. I’ll get to the bottom of this.”He trembled and looked up with disappointment in his eyes. “Even now, you still want to be biased toward him?!”Clark teared up again. He fixed his eyes on me, and his eyes were like those of an aggressive, small beast. When he spoke, his voice was calm, but it was laced with burning resentment. “That debit card isn’t with me. Where did it go? Rowan, I’ve already accepted that you stole my mother from me and broke my family apart. I’m also accepting the fact that Mom is still protecting you even after all that I said. “But I’m already debasing myself so much. Why are you still trying to get rid of me while even denying me my monthly allowance? What exactly are you trying to do? I’m not even trying to fight for Mom with you.”It was like a bomb had exploded. His tearful accusations stirre

“You wouldn’t dare!” Layla hissed after recovering from her shock. Those words were laced with anger. But I stared at her fearlessly and said coldly, “I’ve already called the ambulance. But I need to make things clear here. I refuse to become a scapegoat.”Perhaps they did not expect to go up against my sugar mommy, because everyone was stunned. Meanwhile, Clark’s eyelashes fluttered, and his smile froze. “Stop pretending, Clark. I know you can hear me. I have to say, you put on an exciting show today. But freeloaders like me are used to keeping a clear record of every transfer of money from our sugar mommies. “We also categorize them, including the time and venue of each transaction. We also keep voice and video recordings.”Then, right before everyone’s shocked eyes, I projected the video on my phone on the screen in the hall. That video was from eight months ago, when Clark asked to see me. His cheeks were pink, the sign of health. He looked nothing like he did at that

That night, when I was sitting on the sofa in the villa and daydreaming, Layla appeared quietly behind me. “It’s late. Why are you still sitting there?”But I kept staring at a spot in a daze and did not get up to greet her, unlike before. Layla’s expression turned slightly dark. But she moved in front of me and looked down before quietly putting a ring on my ring finger. Her voice was much gentler than before, and there was a fawning note to it. “It suits you. Take it as my apology.”As I stared at the valuable ring, I knew that I would have been really excited in the past. I would have boldly hugged her, touched her, and kissed her. However, I removed it calmly and looked at her flatly. “Miss Marsh, do you remember saying that if I no longer want this relationship to continue, I can end it whenever I want? Does the offer still stand?”Layla was stunned for a brief moment. The gentle look on her face vanished in an instant as a cold expression replaced it. “You need to think

The man removed his sunglasses to show a sharp gaze. It was John Kent, Layla’s ex. He had been living abroad. Without batting an eyelid, I smiled. “What would you like to discuss, Mr. Kent?”He smiled as well and sat down with relaxed ease before saying calmly, “Don’t be nervous. I brought Clark here to apologize to you. He’s still immature. I hope you can be more understanding.”Then, he cast a glance at Clark, who was standing by the side with his fists clenched. Clark looked up in anger. With a pale face, he said reluctantly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Stane. I was rash. Please forgive me.”Out of spite, he turned his head to the side. I simply stared at the father-and-son duo and did not say anything. John said, “Mr. Stane, I heard that your parents passed, and you have no other family. After you graduated, you were an ordinary piano teacher, and you spent a lot of effort to ride on Layla’s coattails.”“Why don’t you get straight to the point?” I asked him coldly. John’s smile

“Dad!” Clark cried out in disbelief. Layla was the one who slapped John, and she pursed her lips. “You have no place to order my man around.”In his pathetic state, John stood still. He stared at Layla in shock and disbelief. “Haven’t you already broken up with him? Why are you still protecting him?! Clark said that this man has you wrapped around his little finger, and I didn’t believe him!“Are you really going to treat your own son like this for a lowlife like him? You even hit me! Do you know how hurt Clark is?! I’ve come here to clean up the mess, and you’re going up against me?!”Layla stared at him with a stony expression and said coldly, “You have no place to meddle with my affairs. Also, you’ve ignored Clark for ten years while you lived abroad. “Why are you pretending to be a good father now and standing up for him? Don’t go thinking that I don’t know you were the mastermind behind Clark’s antics this time!”“I…” John turned pale, and guilt flashed in his eyes. Thin

After that day, Layla started trying to win me over repeatedly.Not only did she book the largest billboard at the central business district to confess her love for me, she even released fireworks for seven days and seven nights by the river. The paparazzi also found her sitting outside my new place for an entire night while staring at my apartment in a daze. Her crazed actions shocked the entire city. For a time, everyone was shocked by the turn of events. Some people said angrily, “There are plenty of freeloaders like Rowan everywhere. Why should he have Miss Marsh’s love?”Some people were jealous. “I’ve never seen Miss Marsh so in love with a man before.”There were also some who sighed. “Looks like Miss Marsh has really fallen in love with that freeloader.”In any case, I became the hottest topic in upper-class society. Despite being surrounded by all the commotion, I felt no emotion stir in my heart. Sorry. I was no longer falling for that. However, everyone, in

I raced down the road, but right before my car crashed into the railing, I jumped out of the driver’s seat without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, the car fell down the cliff. It let out a deafening boom as it exploded. In an instant, flames filled the sky. I cast one final glance at the limited-edition racecar Layla gave me and got into an MPV that had been waiting by the side for a long time. From that moment on, Rowan Stane the freeloader would no longer exist. Only Rowan Stane remained. …The “accident” shocked the entire city overnight. All sorts of rumors spread in the city. Everyone immediately turned against John and Clark. They began forming theories that my act of exposing Clark’s bad deeds had made John agree, so he cast all caution to the wind. In his unhinged state, he had gone after my life. After some investigation and reviewing the phone recordings I saved, the police managed to find that John was the one who hired the people to stalk and harass m
