During the New Year's holiday, my parents once again left me alone at home to chase after their bonuses.
I felt sorry for them working overtime, so I took Christmas cookies to accompany them.
But my parents got out of the luxury car, hugged a boy of my age.
And went to a five-star hotel, talking and laughing.
"Mom, Dad, is it okay to leave Vivienne alone at home?"
My mom casually replied, "It's fine, she's used to it."
My dad added dismissively, "She can't compare to you. You're our precious one!"
I turned and left.
They've been deceiving me by pretending to be poor.
This time, I don't care for their company either!

Affluent Parents Pretending to be Poor

Kael immediately fell apart. He struggled desperately, but it was futile. The police arrived, and with the restaurant's crystal-clear security footage, he was taken away.


My parents looked at me, "Vivienne, we're sorry. We were wrong."

I shook my head and stepped back, breaking free from my mom's embrace.


My mom hurriedly said, "Vivienne, I know you want to do research. I'll set up a research lab for you. You can do whatever you want, okay? Vivienne, give Mom a chance to make up for her mistakes."


Hearing this, I couldn't help but laugh, "Do you want to make it up to me or try to salvage Kael's business?"


"Dear Mom, Kael's stocks are plummeting, and he's destined for prison. Your business is in freefall. Now you think of using me, is that it?"
