Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Quinn Young stood up and glared at Susan Collins and her son.

“That ten thousand dollars belongs to Jane. She can spend it however she wants.”

“Belongs to her?”

Susan Collins sneered.

“What do you mean ‘belongs to her’? I was the one who raised her all these years. Not only is her money mine, but even her life is mine.”

“How ridiculous…” Quinn Young laughed out of anger.

Flint Smith scoffed. “What does our family situation have to do with you?”

“Shut up!”

You are just like that useless Cole Stone, talking so much crap.”

“This is the Smiths! You have no right to speak.”

Quinn Young trembled in anger.

Flint Smith turned and glared at Jane Smith. “Where’s the money?”

“I—”

“I—what?”

Susan Collins stepped forward and pinched Jane Smith’s waist. “Hurry up and tell me the truth!”

Jane Smith cried out in pain. “I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Please, let go—”

Only then did Susan Collins let go.

“To frame Cole Stone, I used the money to buy his chat records.” Jane Smith lowered her head.

“What?” Susan Collins’ eyes widened.

Flint Smith shouted angrily, “Are you f*cking crazy?”

“You used my money to buy something like that?”

Jane Smith was also furious. “That was my money!”

“Your money? What’s yours is also your brother’s!”

Susan Collins coldly rebuked.

Jane Smith was infuriated by Susan Collins’ favoritism.

“That was the money that I accumulated on my own, it’s mine! Not his!”

“And you’re talking back to me now?”

Susan Collins gnashed her teeth and slapped Jane Smith’s face.

Quinn Young’s eyes widened and she quickly supported Jane Smith from behind.

Jane Smith could not believe what just happened.

Tears streamed down her face. “You’re treating me like this?”

“What did I even do to you?”

Susan Collins shouted like a shrew. “Is there something wrong for you to do something good for your brother? Your brother dropped out of high school so I can pay for your studies. After what I’ve done, this is how you’re going to repay me?”

“He did not drop out of school! He flunked out because he wasn’t smart enough!”

“Also, when did you pay for my studies?”

Jane Smith screamed at the top of her lungs.

Susan Collins’s pupils constricted as she gave a sinister laugh.

“Wow, you actually dared to talk to me like that—”

“Enough!”

Quinn Young interrupted with a shout. “How can both of you be so shameless?”

“She’s your daughter!”

“Shameless?”

Susan Collins sneered.

“Do you really think that I don’t know that this girl spent thousands of dollars to elevate her status in society just so she can marry into a rich family and get rid of us? And you’re saying that I am the shameless one here?”

Quinn Young was dumbfounded.

“Enough!”

Jane Smith’s heart was already dead.

She suddenly held Quinn Young’s hand

“Stop it…”

“I’ll go back to my room. I want some peace and quiet for a while.”

“Okay—”

Quinn Young gritted her teeth.

“Wait!”

Flint Smith spoke up.

“What?”

Quinn Young glared at Flint Smith.

Flint Smith crossed his arms and coldly stated, “Since you don’t have the ten thousand dollars, then you should think of a way to earn it back for the family.”

“What are you—”

Jane Smith suddenly realized something and her lips trembled in disbelief.

Susan Collins said, “What else? Get out!”

Jane Smith felt like she had fallen into a pool of ice.

…

Both Jane Smith and Quinn Young were kicked out of the house by Susan Collins.

It might be because Susan Collins was venting her anger for the way that she got kicked out by Cole Stone tonight as she specially took a broom to chase Jane Smith out of the house after she was done packing her stuff into her suitcase.

Flint Smith even said that she should never come back until she earned ten thousand dollars.

Quinn Young’s house…

“Why? Why? Why?!”

Jane Smith bitterly cried.

She did not expect that she would end up like this after she tried everything that she could to earn her brother’s dowry.

Quinn Young advised. “You should cut all ties with them.”

“Start thinking about your future from now on.”

Although her words were kind, Quinn Young herself was filled with resentment.

It was the second time that she was chased out with a broom tonight.

Jane Smith did not speak, but cried even louder.

Quinn Young merely looked at her in silence.

“This is all your fault—”

All of a sudden, Jane Smith stared at her.

“What?”

Quinn Young was stunned.

“If you didn’t tell me to spend those ten thousand dollars, they wouldn’t have done this to me! They wouldn’t have kicked me out of the house!” Jane Smith gritted her teeth in frustration.

Quinn Young was rendered speechless.

She did not expect that Jane Smith was actually this dumb and shameless.

To be reduced to such a state.

Could she really not tell whose fault it was that she became like this?

Jane Smith roared. “It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault! Give me back my ten thousand!”

Quinn Young didn’t know what to say.

Jane Smith acted like she was the victim, yet she was still being so shameless.

She did not dare to blame James Lewis, Flint Smith, and Susan Collins for hurting her.

Instead, she only hurt those who were willing to protect her

For example, Cole Stone…

He loved her as deeply as he could, but she stabbed him with the longest knife she could muster.

Back then, whenever Jane Smith suffered at Susan Collins’ house, she would vent it all out on Cole Stone. Even if Cole Stone was innocent, Jane Smith would always put the blame on him to vent out.

It seemed that those people who only bullied the kind truly existed in this world.

What’s worse was that after bullying them, they would even mock them for being pushovers.

For Jane Smith—Quinn Young was a kind person.

But Quinn Young was never kind.

So…

“Get lost!”

Bang!

The furious Quinn Young slammed the door shut in Jane Smith’s face.

Jane Smith was chased out for the third time tonight.

But she did all of these to herself!
