Chapter 1
I was sent to Ancven by the company to work for five years because I took the blame for my sister-in-law, Kayla. I accidentally discovered a rare gem and made one hundred million dollars after selling it.
After returning home, I found out that my family had changed their address without telling me.
I called my mother, Eliana, but no one answered.
I called my brother, Tom Hart. The call that had been unanswered was finally connected.
Tom said, "Ancven is full of viruses and bacteria. We can't let Serena come back. Don't let my son get sick."
Kayla said, "Looking at the photos in the work group. Serena is now ugly and fat. She must be pregnant."

Tom and Kayla's words were like sharp swords piercing my heart. I was so heartbroken that I couldn't breathe.
I took deep breaths before I calmed down.
I might be cheap. I always felt that there might be some misunderstanding, so I wanted to go and ask them in person.
I hung up the phone call that Tom mistakenly answered, took out ten thousand dollars, found a real estate agent, and quickly found the address of my new home.
When I arrived at the door and just raised my hand to knock, Eliana called me. She tentatively asked me if I had called Tom and what I had heard.
I didn't say anything. I just knocked on the door hard. Eliana opened the door with a look of surprise. And I took the opportunity to squeeze in.
As soon as I came in, I saw a kid rushing towards me and hitting me again and again. "Bad woman! Bad woman! Don't come to my house! Don't come to my house!"
This was my nephew, Jacob.
If I hadn't taken the blame, Jacob would have been born in prison.
He hit me on the thigh. It hurt, so I pushed him away.
After all, he was a delicate child. I just used a little strength. Jacob fell to the ground and started crying loudly.
Eliana, who came hurriedly, didn't even look at me. She held Jacob and coaxed him patiently.
Tom rushed out and pushed me hard. "Stay away from my son! You are full of viruses!"
Kayla pinched her nose and gritted her teeth. "People who have been touched by foreigners are disgusting! They stink!
"Get out of my house now! As the master, I order you to get out now!"
I watched all this in shock. Eliana, Tom and Kayla looked so strange and terrifying.
The questions of why they didn't answer my call and why they didn't tell me the address of my new home were all stopped.
Five years ago, Kayla made a mistake at work. The company wanted to put her in jail. I felt sorry for her because she was pregnant, so I took the blame for her, and the company sent me to Ancven.
In the past five years, I had worked diligently to complete multiple projects, recovered losses, and made up for my mistakes.
I transferred money to Eliana on time every month, hoping that the three could live a better life, so that all the suffering I had endured would not be in vain.
Half a year ago, Eliana told me that Jacob was about to go to elementary school and needed a house, but she didn't have enough money. Without hesitation, I transferred two million dollars to them so that they could buy a house.
But in the end, they used my money but wanted to kick me out. They also looked down on me because I had been to Ancven, insulted me for changing, and engaged in regional discrimination.
I looked at Eliana. Her eyes were evasive. She lowered her head and continued to coax Jacob who was still choking.
That was right. From the time Eliana didn't answer my calls to the time she called me to test me before I came here, it all showed that she had chosen Tom and Kayla and abandoned me.
My eyes were hurt, and I tried hard not to cry. I questioned Kayla, "Kayla, aren't you ashamed to say that this is your house? This house was bought with the money I earned in the past few years! The reason you can stand here so comfortably now is because I took the blame for you! If it weren't for me, you would have been sent to prison!"
Tom glared at me. "What are you talking about? You just helped Kayla. What's the big deal?"
Kayla sarcastically said, "If it weren't for me, you would not have the opportunity to go to Ancven or have been able to earn so much money."
She stared at my flat belly with disdain. "Oh? You aborted the bastard in your belly? Why didn't you give birth to the child? Don't you want to be a nice person anymore?"
I was wearing loose clothes in the photo posted in the work group that day, and due to the shooting angle, my belly looked obvious, which became the source of Kayla's ridicule.
I was so angry that I wanted to slap Kayla's hypocritical face.
Before I even touched Kayla, Eliana yelled at me to protect her, "Serena! If you dare to hurt Kayla, I will not acknowledge you as my daughter!"
She pointed to the door of the room next to her and said, "That's your room. If you want to live here, stay there. Otherwise, get out!"
I walked over and opened the door. There was a foul smell.
The room was full of miscellaneous items, and there were two hamsters in a cage on the floor.
Eliana didn't look at me, but just said slowly, "This is the house I bought for Tom. There is no room for you. It's good enough that you can live here. After all, I don't know how many viruses you are carrying now."
Tom and Kayla had mocking expressions. And Jacob was eating ice cream and still muttering to me, "Get out."
I took my suitcase and left without looking back.
Chapter 2
When I went out, I put the toys I bought for Jacob in the suitcase and randomly gave them away to children passing by.
I opened my phone and returned all the gaming computer equipment worth tens of thousands of dollars that I bought for Tom, the brand-name bags and high-end skin care products for Kayla, the jewelries for Jacob, the supplements for Eliana, and the physical examination packages that I ordered worth tens of thousands of dollars.
They didn't deserve it.
I first stayed in a five-star hotel.
As for the money I transferred to Eliana, although there was no IOU, there was a clear record of the transfer.
She used my money to buy a house for Tom and kicked me out of home. No matter what, I was right.
I didn't even hire a lawyer. I looked for a template online and wrote the complaint myself.
Now that I was no longer short of money. I enjoyed the process of safeguarding my rights.
During the litigation, private mediation would be conducted first.
Eliana complained to the public official with tears, calling me a wicked woman. "Five years ago, Serena got into trouble and was sent to Ancven. It was my son and daughter-in-law who took good care of me. I used my money to buy a house for Tom. Many people buy houses for their sons, so why can't I do that?"
I said lightly, "That was not your money."
Eliana's face turned gloomy, and she raised her chin. "That was my money!"
I looked at her with a smile, "I have a record on my phone of you asking me for money. Do you want me to show you that?"
Mom was speechless for a moment.
Tom was furious. "Serena, you are such a person that you even schemed against our mother! You are an ungrateful person! Have you ever come to our house once in the past five years? Have you ever visited our mother once? Did you take care of her when she was sick? You haven't done anything, and you still want to take the house back. You are so shameless!"
I said, "I can't come back because of your wife. I saved your wife because she made a serious mistake and was about to go to jail. I paid for mom's illness. Did you spend any money on her? I still have messages on my phone from when Mom was sick complaining to me that you didn't come to see her!"
Tom was speechless.
Kayla raised her voice and said angrily, "We also let you live here, but you chose to live. And you are suing us. Is it reasonable to ask for money back that you gave to others? We are not afraid of suing you anyway. If you don't mind the embarrassment of losing the case, then sue us! We will fight you to the end!
"Anyway, we are no longer a family from now on! If you can't get married, don't come to my house and cry, and don't let my son support you!"
I didn't want to speak to her, so I refused to mediate and waited to go to court.
Eliana, Tom and Kayla put pressure on me in many ways and spread rumors that I brought the virus back from Ancven, which was why they made me live in the utility room.
"She knew she was ill, but she still wanted to live in the master bedroom and with my four-year-old son. As a mother, I certainly wouldn't agree to that!"
My brainwashed relatives called me to teach me a lesson.
I blocked them all.
They thought I didn't respond because I felt guilty.
In fact, they used false rumors and other means to coerce me during the prosecution, which was more beneficial to me.
Finally, we just had to wait for the court's verdict.
Chapter 3
I went to the best sales office to buy a house.
When I arrived, many staff members looked away when they saw me, only a cute girl greeted me with a smile.
"Hello, ma'am. My name is Carol. What type of apartment do you want?"
My goal was accurate. I directly asked for the best villa with a total of five floors with two underground, with its own elevator and a small garden.
"Okay, that's it. I'll sign the contract."
Carol was stunned, screaming and crying. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is my first success in two months. If I don't sell the house again, I'll be fired."
I could understand her feelings and waited for her to calm down before signing the contract.
Carol took the contract to the general manager. And I continued to look at the apartments on other floors to see if there were any that interested me.
What I didn't expect was to see Kayla in a work suit.
She worked here.
She saw me, walked over quickly, and yelled at me, "Are you following me?"
I looked at her suspicious expression and didn't say anything.
She said exaggeratedly with an expression of sudden enlightenment. "You are here to buy a house? You are here with your foreign lover to buy a house? Why? Did he leave you here alone?"
She shouted loudly to all around, "Everyone, look. This is Kayla. Five years ago, she was transferred to Ancven due to a work error. She was fucked by many people. Now she is back with a virus. Everyone, stay away from her!"
After she said this, many people around me pinched their noses and took several steps back, as if I was really harmful.
Kayla was excited. Seeing that there was no my boyfriend around, she continued to speak arrogantly, "She is pregnant with a bastard, and she was dumped. She just had the baby aborted. Now that she has no man to support her, she came back to ask for a house from my family. She even followed me to apply for a job here!"
"Now, anyone can come here and apply for a job. Get out! Get out now. You disgraceful thing. Don't lower our standards."
I was just about to speak when I saw Carol, who was not far away, coming out with the contract. She greeted Kayla politely from a distance. It was obvious that Kayla held a very high position here.
Carol said to me respectfully, "Ms. Hart, the general manager wants you to come over to discuss something."
I was just about to follow her.
I was stopped by Kayla.
She scolded, "Carol! You don't want to work here anymore, right? She just came back from Ancven, and her body is full of bacteria and viruses. How dare you take her to see Mr. Green?"
Carol was terrified. "Kayla, I..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Kayla. "Carol, as your direct supervisor, I was planning to extend your probation period and give you another chance. But now you've made such a terrible mistake! I am officially notifying you that you are fired! Get out now!"
Kayla sneered, "Serena! Get out of here right now! If you don't, I'll call the security guards to carry you out!"
