Chapter 4

Amber left, but she kept sending messages on SnapChat, trying to control everything remotely.

My mom had barely said two words before my brother jumped to Amber's defense, saying she was the most pure-hearted and kind girl he'd ever met.

"She's not like other girls on the internet who just want my money. She said she fell in love with me at first sight and only wants to marry me and have my children."

I couldn't help but laugh, "They say don't judge a book by its cover. But you've seen her true colors, and you still think she's innocent?"

When you're head over heels in love, you don't listen to reason.

The more you try to discourage it, the more they think it's true love.

My dad, furious, slapped him, "You brainless fool! What does this girl see in you? Your lack of a real job? The fact that you're still living off us? She comes in demanding we write off over ten million in debt her family owes, and wants to control your sister's salary. What kind of person does that?"

My brother gritted his teeth, "Amber is just thinking about our future."

Just then, Amber's voice came through my brother's phone.

"Your sister has too much control. She manages everything, so of course Lucas doesn't get a chance. Does she not want to see us happy? Besides, Lucas is the son. You'll eventually marry out of the family. Don't tell me you want to take the Tang family's assets to benefit outsiders? That would be so shameless..."

He had been livestreaming our entire conversation to Amber.

My mom clutched her chest, too angry to speak. I quickly poured her a glass of water and asked my dad to help her sit down and calm her.

Alright, at this point, I knew that unless we gave him a harsh wake-up call, he wouldn't realize how foolish he was being.

Amber's voice continued through the phone, sharp and aggressive, "Your sister said she wants to open a company for me? I hope she's not just trying to fool me like she's fooling Lucas. Lucas is too nice, always giving in to you, but I'm not a pushover."

I looked at my brother. His expression was indifferent, clearly agreeing with her.

Looking at this brother I had cared for so many years, who now seemed like a stranger, I smiled, "As it happens, the company is planning to set up a new subsidiary to handle a batch of auction items. Amber seems to know a lot about luxury goods. Why doesn't she become the legal representative and director?"

Amber was overjoyed, "Now that's more like it. This is just the beginning. Everything that belongs to us, I'll take back one by one!"

Yes, everything that belongs to you - the debt and the consequences of your greed and incompetence - will all come back to you, one by one.
