They wanted money, a car, and a house.

I became their cash machine.

This time, my flat happened to be requisitioned by the government for an energy base.

The moment I received a huge amount of compensation, I was still thinking. Forget it, I won't care anymore. They raised me up, so I will give them half of the 3,300,000 dollars to repay them.

Just because of a joke about my unemployment, they kicked me out of the house on a snowy night and threatened to cut ties with me.

How ridiculous!

I looked at the 3,300,000 dollars in my bank account, and waves of sadness crashed over me.

In the past, I did my best to meet their demands in exchange for a few minutes of their smiles.

Now, if I took out the money, they would definitely call me sweetheart and beg me to come back home.

But what if I ran out of money and they still asked me for some more?

Now I understood that love had long been a tool for them to exploit me.

Love with conditions was not love, but a mask to conceal their real desires and greed!

Fortunately, money could solve all my problems.

No drivers picked up orders in extreme weather, so I kept raising the price and finally hailed a limo.

The small inn was fully booked, so I booked a presidential suite in a five-star hotel.

The next day at noon, I was awakened by my ringing phone. I answered it in a daze and realized it was my mom.

"Hazel, I'll give you a chance to make up for your mistake. Come to Blue Sea Hotel, and we'll forgive your nonsense last night!"

Before I could finish speaking, she hung up the phone.

Most likely it was a trap.

I wanted to see what trick they were playing.

I pushed open the door of the private room, and everyone inside was very happy. There were also two strangers sitting at the head of the table.

My mom sat me down and enthusiastically introduced me. "This is my daughter, who graduated from a prestigious university. She's beautiful, isn't she?"

A bald man named Roy nodded in satisfaction and muttered, "Indeed, not bad."

My mother enthusiastically handed the menu to another young girl.

"Freya, our family has always put ladies first. Read the menu and order what you'd like to eat. Hazel will pay for it."

Freya Hayes smiled sweetly at me and said, "Thank you, Hazel. I'll make myself at home."

Reid leaned close to Freya and lecherously kissed her before saying, "Babe, I'd like a few hairy crabs and two lobsters!"

I felt nauseous.
