Chapter 3
“The traffic police have confirmed it was your
father’s fault for the accident. Our car was
completely wrecked, yet we haven’t even
demanded compensation from you.”
“But since our Monica has a kind heart, and
considering you grew up together, we’ll let
this slide. Though let’s be clear–a toad will
always be a toad. Don’t delude yourself into
thinking you can turn into a swan.‘
Chandler turned deathly pale at my parents‘
words.

He stared at me in disbelief, but I had already
opened the car door and slipped inside.
When my parents mentioned that Chandler
might come with debts, his relatives became
even more reluctant to take him in.
In the end, it was a distant aunt–who half-
believed his grandiose claims of future
wealth–who grudgingly agreed to take him.
The day after the funeral, Chandler showed
up at school.

He had swapped his secondhand clothes for
a brand–new uniform.
Spotting me, he strode over with his chin held
high.
“Some people will resort to anything just to
get my attention. Monica, did you really think
I couldn’t survive without you?”
“See this uniform? My aunt bought it for me.
You know what I realized after leaving your
house? Your family treated us like slaves!”

“My parents worked for you for years—and
even died because of you! Yet the wages
your family paid were so measly I couldn’t
even afford a new uniform. And when they
died, you didn’t compensate us a single
cent!”
The surrounding classmates erupted in
shock.
It was no secret that Chandler’s parents had
worked for my family. Just days ago, when
the accident happened, our class had even
held a fundraiser for him.

“Wait, isn’t Monica’s family super rich? She rides a luxury car to school every day, and her
shoes are designer!”
“Chandler’s got it so rough. His parents slaved away for Monica’s family, and he
couldn’t even afford proper clothes? And no compensation for their deaths? That’s disgusting!”
“How can Monica flaunt her wealth like this? She’s practically feasting on their suffering!”

But the truth was, his parents had worked for
my family for nearly a decade–and my
parents had always paid them the highest
market wages. There was no exploitation
whatsoever.

As for the accident? That was entirely their
own fault.
And the reason Chandler couldn’t afford a
a
new uniform? Because his own parents had
never thought him worthy of one.
With a cold snort, I raised my phone and played a video–footage from the car’s
dashcam on the day of the accident.
On the screen, Chandler’s mother ran her fingers greedily over the car’s interior.

“There’s so much here. Do you think she’d
notice if we pocketed a couple of these? Is
this figurine made of gold?”
“Definitely not. And this brand looks
expensive–we could pawn it for some quick
cash.”

The car smashed into the guardrail, triggering a chain collision involving over a dozen

Chandler’s parents died on impact.
Watching his own parents lose their lives over petty theft, Chandler’s face twisted in
