“Zoey, what’s that in your hand? Is it a lottery ticket? Let me see.” Dylan grabbed my hand forcefully, his eyes gleaming with greed. When he saw that I couldn’t open my fist, he kicked me in the leg.
I winced in pain and accidentally loosened my grip.
“Heh, I knew you were hiding a lottery ticket!”
He looked down, his expression a bit confused.
My hand was empty. Nothing was there.
“Where’s the ticket? Where did you hide it?”
Dylan stared at me, unable to believe it, scanning me up and down.
I rubbed my sore leg, feeling a bit wrong. “What lottery ticket? I just passed by a lottery shop. I didn’t even buy one.”
Dylan clearly didn’t trust me. He searched every inch of my body, panicking when he found nothing.
He didn’t bother with me anymore, rushing into the lottery shop

and grabbing the shopkeeper by the collar. “Who bought a ticket just now?”
The shopkeeper, used to eccentric customers, shrugged Dylan off without a second thought.
“Lots of people come and go all day, how would I remember?”
Dylan was trying to recall the lottery ticket worth 100 million dollars.
But after so long, his memory was fuzzy, and all he could remember were the first few digits.
He took a deep breath. Then his eyes glinted as he thought of something.
He pulled me over and glared at me. You go buy it.
“You better pick the right one, or I won’t let you off!”
Hearing this, I felt a chill in my heart. Now, I finally understood what Dylan’s behavior was about!
It turned out he had also been reborn!
To make sure he wouldn’t miss out on the lottery win this time, he followed me all the way to the lottery shop and made me buy the ticket for him.
I chose a ticket based on the first few digits he had given me.

Still holding the ticket, Dylan looked at me with doubt, scanning me up and down.
Clearly, he was still suspicious that I had hidden the ticket somewhere.
At dinner, Dylan was irritated, tapping his fork on the table.
Madison quickly picked up some food for him. “What’s wrong? Did someone at school upset you? Let me handle it.”
Samuel also put down his fork and looked at him seriously. “Yeah, did some classmate look down on you again?”
Dylan waited until he thought they were concerned enough, then finally looked up, sneering, and pointed at me. “She bought the lottery ticket and didn’t show it to me.”
My parents exchanged glances.
Samuel frowned first and scolded me.
“What’s the matter with you? I’ve told you before, as the older sister, you should be considerate of your younger brother! What did you do to upset Dylan? Apologize to him now!”
Madison sighed, gently brushing her rough hand over mine and saying softly, “Zoey, I’m not criticizing you, but your brother is our only son. As his older sister, you need to learn to take care of Dylan.”
I felt the touch on my hand, and a shiver ran down my spine.
