“Here’s your breakfast Larissa said as she turned around and reached for the takeaway bag from the

backseat. She pressed her palm against it to check the temperature and added. “The car healer has

been on the whole time, so it should still be warm.”

“Thanks, sis!” Lana’s smile stretched until her eyes nearly disappeared, but she did not immediately

open the bag after taking it. Instead. she assessed the car’s interior. “Larissa, why do you drive such a

cheap car? Lana asked casually, but Larissa still saw the scorn and disdain in her eyes. At last, Lana

rested her gaze on Larissa and said, “I heard from Mom that she gave you a credit card with one

million dollars when you left home. Didn’t you use it?”

Larissa recalled the credit card incident. It was back when she had just graduated from university and

started working at the Regal Dynasty Hotel. One day. Yvette phoned her, showering her with warm

regards and concern for her, causing Larissa to feel uneasy. Yvette had then uttered, “Your father,

sister, and I miss you, Come home for a visit.”

Larissa had been skeptical of Yvette’s words, but at that time, her relationship with her family wasn’t

completely broken yet. Therefore, she had gone home for a visit upon Yvette’s insistence. During the

initial two days of her return, Yvette had showered her with more smiles than she had ever received in

the past 22 years. She had taken Larissa shopping and bought her clothes, makeup, and whatever

else she desired. To top it off. Yvette even gave her a credit card loaded with one million dollars. “The

PIN number is your birthday.” Yvette had informed her.

At that moment, Larissa nearly wept. She had always thought that Yvette had forgotten her birthday.

Yvelle hugged her and consoled her gently, “You’re my daughter. How could I forget your birthday?”

After that, Larissa took to Facebook and shared a status that read. “The most blessed moment of my

life.” However, such bliss did not last very long.

On the third day, Yvette dropped a bombshell on Larissa, revealing that they had arranged a marriage

for her with a director of Soaring Corporation, “I’ve looked into that guy. His family is rich and influential,

although he’s a bit older. But most men with successful careers aren’t young anymore. Once you marry

him, you won’t even have to lift a finger anymore and can just live life like a princess,” explained Yvette.

Then she added proudly. “Don’t you think mommy always gives you the best?”

Larissa had gone cold all over, and she felt as though she had plummeted from the gates of heaven

back into the depths of hell For the first time in here, she went all out and argued with Yvette fiercely.

Since they had already exposed their true selves. Yvette could no longer be bothered to put on an act.

After scolding Larissa, Yvette locked her in her room, leaving her feeling like a prisoner.

Larissa threatened her by starving herself, but Yvette remained unmoved. One time, Larissa even

heard her telling the housekeeper in charge of sending her meals. “Let her starve if she won’t eat!

She’ll marry that man as long as she’s still breathing!”

In those few days, Larissa had cried all her tears out. Eventually, the housekeeper could no longer bear

to witness her suffering and clandestinely let her go in the middle of the night. The housekeeper had

said through tears. “Lyssa never return to this place once you leave! Remember, this is no longer your

home. Don’t ever look back!”

Only after she had gotten back to Covenford did she realize that the credit card was in a compartment

in her suitcase. The housekeeper had helped her pack her suitcase at the last minute, and she must

have stuffed everything on Larissa’s desk inside, Just as Larissa was about to throw the card into the

trash, she suddenly fell the urge to check if there really was a million dollars inside. However, the

biggest joke was when she inserted it into the ATM and keyed in the six–digit PIN number, the screen

showed the words. “Incorrect PIN“!
