Chapter 4

My family and Trevor's used to be neighbors. In the past, my family's financial situation was even better than theirs.

But after my parents died in a car accident, my biased grandmother took everything and gave it to my uncle's family.

Trevor's uncle, seeing my pitiful state, sponsored me.

Later, I regretted countless times accepting their sponsorship.

Because Trevor would tell anyone who'd listen that his family funded my education, that I'd be in an orphanage without them.

Because of that, I always felt like I owed him, always a step beneath Trevor.

He didn't like it when I excelled in exams, so I'd deliberately do poorly, becoming his convenient contrast.

And my friends gradually drifted away after Trevor arrived.

Even my college girlfriend was deliberately poached by Trevor, who came all the way to visit during our extended holiday break.

"Alex, don't be mad. I just wanted to test if she truly loved you. You're my best friend, and I was worried you'd get hurt by a manipulative woman."

"See? I proved it, didn't I? You really should thank me."

I just gave him a grateful smile. "Yeah, thanks, Trevor."

Trevor grinned triumphantly. "No problem, what are best friends for?"

I just sneered internally.

The word "friend" was defiled by people like him!

But the fact remained that the Fu family had shown me kindness.

I couldn't afford to have a complete fallout with Trevor and upset his uncle.

However, that was all in the past now.

From the moment Trevor pushed me off that cliff, I no longer owed his family anything.
