“You really think I’d believe you now? This is on you! You lied to us and kept sneaking around with your father. If you’d just been honest with Simon or me, we might’ve been able to help. But you chose to hide everything–and now you’re dealing with the consequences!” Curtis snapped.

“Don’t expect me to help you, and don’t even think about calling Simon. He’s in the hospital because he let Victoria handle your detox instead of taking care of his own health. From now on, whatever happens to you is your own responsibility!”

With that, Curtis hung up coldly, not giving it another thought.

He could never forget how he’d tampered with Victoria’s brakes just to stand up for Angelica. And when karma finally caught up with him and left him in a coma, Angelica took advantage of him in ways he could never forgive. Not killing Angelica with his own hands was already the greatest mercy he could afford her.

Julia clenched her fork tightly and snapped, “Curtis, was that Angelica calling?”

She didn’t even need Curtis to answer–she already knew the truth.

She slammed her cutlery down in anger, gritting her teeth. “How does that bitch even have the nerve to call you? If it weren’t for her, our family wouldn’t be in this mess!”

Getting kicked out of the Binder residence was bad enough, but Calvin was so ruthless that he didn’t even leave them a place to live. Now, they were barely scrapin

by on whatever savings they had left.

The more Julia thought about it, the angrier she got. “Of course–she was never really mine. No matter how good I was to that little stray, she still grew up to be a thankless little snake!”

Under the surge of anger came a wave of regret. She clutched her chest. “If I’d realized this sooner, if I’d treated my own daughter better from the start, I wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

She looked up at Curtis and warned, “Curtis, I know you and Simon used to dote on Angelica and couldn’t stand to see her suffer. But she’s the one who ruined us. No matter how much she cries or begs, don’t you dare go soft and run back to help her. I’ll make sure Simon gets the message when I visit him at the hospital.”

Curtis’s voice was unwavering. “I’m done with her. From now on, I’ll only put my focus on Vickie.”

As he said this, something suddenly occurred to him. “Isn’t Vickie’s birthday coming up soon?”

Julia paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yeah, November 2nd is her birthday.”

She read Curtis’s mind and said, “We’ve never really celebrated her birthday before. This time, let’s go all out and throw her a big surprise. If she’s moved enough, maybe she’ll forgive us.”

That was exactly what Curtis had in mind.

Victoria’s birthday party was their best shot at patching things up as a family.

With that in mind, he checked his bank account to see how much he had left.

This was everything he’d earned in the past two years since he debuted. After covering his own expenses and buying gifts for Angelica, he was down to just over 450 thousand dollars.

Angelica used to be driven everywhere by the butler and had never owned a car of her own, so he had originally planned to use the money to buy her one for her birthday.

In hindsight, that money nearly went to waste.

He started thinking about how he could spend this money to make Victoria smile on her birthday–and maybe even use it to smooth things over between them.

In a shabby, old rented room somewhere.

“Damn it, you little bitch! Open the door! Who said you could lock the bathroom? What the hell are you doing in there? Open up!”

The bathroom door shook under furious pounding, the lock rattling so violently it seemed like it could snap off any second.

Angelica, battered and bruised, huddled in the bathroom. After Curtis hung up on her, she desperately searched through her contacts, hands trembling with fear.

Knowing she couldn’t rely on the Binder family anymore, she turned to those guys who used to have a thing for her, hoping one of them would actually help her out.

If she didn’t, her dad would definitely beat her to a pulp.

“Luke, it’s me…”

“Oh, Angelica, the city’s biggest outcast. What do you want calling me?”

“Luke, didn’t you use to like me? Can you-”

Before she could finish, he cut her off. “Stop right there. That was all in the past. Back then, you were pretty and the top talent in Benwig City. If I’d married you, my parents would’ve been thrilled. But now? You’re nothing but a fake, kicked out of the Binder residence. I even heard your adoptive father messed up your face. Why would I still be interested in you?”

He hung up without another word.

Angelica was on the verge of despair. Her fingers shaking, she scrolled through her contacts again and tried calling another playboy who’d once had a crush on her.

But the call was immediately declined.

The middle–aged man outside had stopped banging on the door and was now kicking it hard, making the whole frame shake.

“Ah…” Angelica was so terrified she nearly dropped her phone.

‘What am I going to do? What am I going to do?‘ Her mind raced. ‘I can’t let it all fall apart like this!

Suddenly, a new message popped up in the group chat named E.C.E. Saga.

She quickly opened it and scrolled through the unread messages.

Skimming through the chat, she caught up fast and realized Victoria was making a bet with someone in the group called Good–for–Nothing Heir.

It looked like they were not on good terms.

Grabbing onto this last hope, Angelica quickly sent a message to Good–for–Nothing Heir: [It’s Angelica Binder. Please help me! I’m at XX neighborhood, Building XX, Unit XX. I can help you take care of Victoria Binder!]

“Crack!”

Right after she sent the message, the bathroom door was kicked in, and the whole thing came crashing down, aiming straight for her head.

Seeing this, she quickly crouched down and covered her head with her arms.

“Damn it! What were you doing hiding in the bathroom?” Howard stormed in, kicked the door aside, and roughly yanked her up from the floor.

Angelica shook her head, tears streaming down her face. “I didn’t do anything, I just… I really couldn’t use the bathroom with the door open…”

“Don’t think I believe a word you’re saying. I’m your father–I’ve known you long enough to see right through your little games. If you weren’t so damn scheming, I never would’ve had to hire someone to go after that bitch from the Binder family!” Howard growled. He dragged Angelica out of the bathroom and shoved her down onto the old wooden couch.

“Ah…” Angelica crashed onto the hard wooden couch, feeling like her whole body was about to fall apart.

Howard stared at her disheveled figure, his eyes darkening with lust and greed. He loomed over the couch, bending down and pinning her arms with both hands.

Seeing Howard’s eyes clouded with desire, panic surged through Angelica. “Howard, you bastard! What the hell are you trying to do?”

She tried to fight back, but her battered body left her utterly powerless.

Howard’s eyes grew even more lecherous. “Your mom ended up in jail because of you, and I haven’t been with a woman in over a month. Now that you’ve been kicked out of the Binder residence and can’t give me a cent, you’ll pay me back with your body.”

Angelica’s voice shook with fear. “Howard Chesson, I’m your daughter!”
