Chapter 6
I felt an intense hatred inside me.
When the three people being held by the police saw me appear unharmed, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets in fury.
“You did this on purpose! You did it on purpose to get back at me, didn’t you? You heartless, shameless thing! You brat!
“Officer, hurry and arrest her!”
My mom hurriedly spoke to the police beside her.
“It’s all my daughter’s fault! We didn’t mean to hurt anyone. It was all her fault! All of this is because of that brat! She stole the one–hundred–million–dollar lottery ticket from our house! We had no choice but to corner her here, and we didn’t mean to hurt the wrong person! Officer, arrest her, search her! The ticket must be on her!”
The police officer furrowed his brows. “This is a family matter. We can’t get involved.”
At that, despair filled my parents‘ eyes. “You didn’t really buy that one–hundred–million–dollar lottery ticket, did you?”
“No… actually, you were right. I did buy two lottery tickets that day, but the winning ticket was already claimed. The 80 million dollars went straight into my account.”

I carefully adjusted my mask, took out my phone, and showed them my bank account balance.
Looking at the long string of zeros, my parents and Dylan finally snapped.
Dylan struggled violently, his eyes burning with hatred as if he could swallow me whole.
“It’s impossible! We’ve been watching the lottery shop; there’s no way you had time to claim the prize! You’re lying to us! That number must be fake!”
Dylan suddenly gave a bitter smile. “Oh, so you’re just messing with us because you died and can’t accept it! You even doctored a picture hoping to make us regret it! Well, not a chance! I won’t be fooled by you! That one–hundred–million–dollar ticket was never sold! Just wait! I’m the real millionaire, I’m the rich kid!”
I opened my bank app and refreshed the page. Finally, my parents completely lost it.
“It’s real! There’s really 100 million! It’s all ours! You’ll transfer the money to us, right?”
My mom’s eyes were full of hope. “You’ve always been such a good girl, always been my sweetheart! You won’t disappoint me, right?”
I let out a cold laugh and slowly spat out a word. “Pah!

“Dream on! Didn’t you already issue a statement cutting ties with me? We have nothing to do with each other now!”

“No!” My dad screamed, his eyes fixed on me with a crazed look. “What’s going on? How did you claim the prize? Where did you
hide the ticket?”
I smiled darkly and finally revealed the truth.
“I sent the ticket to Grandma.”
After I was born, my parents found out I was a girl and dumped me on my grandmother.
When I was ten, they finally remembered I existed and brought me back home, but all they ever cared about was Dylan.
In my past life, when I was trafficked to a mountain village, the only person who wouldn’t stop looking for me was my grandmother.
After my body was returned posthumously, Grandma used her entire life savings to buy it back and buried me in my hometown.
“The only person I trust in this world, the only family I have left, is my grandmother.
“So, I sent the ticket to her. After she claimed the prize, she transferred the money to my account.”
My parents screamed as the police took them away.

Back at home, I received an acceptance letter.
