In the evening, Zack posted a location on his Instagram.

"I'm at King Bar. Beautiful girls are welcome to join me."

I liked his post, and he sent me a message.

[Candy baby, want to hang out?]

He also transferred me 200 dollars and sent me a suggestive emoji.

I accepted the money and sent him an emoji of a shy face.

[Sorry, handsome, but I'm not available tonight.]

He didn't text back.

Then he texted me on WhatsApp.

[Mabel, transfer 5,000 dollars to me now!]

I really wondered where he got the nerve to ask me for money so righteously.

[Didn't you say you made a lot of money last week?]

Zack sent me a voice message, and I could hear the noisy drum beats as he spoke.

"Of course, doing business requires continuous investment! Hurry up and transfer me the money! Now!"

I rolled my eyes.

[Is it really an investment in business?]

He became angry and embarrassed. [Of course! What do you mean? If you don't wanna give it to me, then don't! Don't look down upon me! Don't come begging me when I get rich!]

Zack blocked me.

He was so impatient, but at least he had stopped annoying me.

If anyone wanted to give him money, feel free to do so. I wouldn't.

Not long after, my dad called.

In my previous life, my dad called and said he had a serious illness and needed 700,000 dollars for treatment.

After I knew the money would be given to Zack to repay the online loan, I refused. I didn't want to give him any money.

But they forced me to sell the house by threatening to die.

I refused to sell the house, and they accused me of being heartless.

"Dad, do you really need treatment?"

"Of course! Do you think I would curse myself to be sick? Are you going to watch your own father die?"

I smiled and said, "You will do anything for Zack, won't you?"

My dad was angry and said, "Don't make excuses! Sell that house now! What are you thinking? You don't need money at all. Give it to Zack!"

"I would rather throw my money away than give it to Zack."

My parents didn't understand why I suddenly stopped listening to them and refused to be the cash cow for the Hodgson family.

People like them would never be satisfied. Being soft on them was being cruel to me.

Zack just posted a photo on Instagram.

"New friends. They're pretty."

Looking at Zack in the photo hugging two women, I suddenly had an idea.

I called my best friend Clara Potter and told her about the current situation.

"Clara, I'm gonna need you to put on a show with me."

Clara was my boss' daughter, a graduate of a prestigious university, beautiful and capable.

After she joined the company, I became her mentor, and we gradually became close friends who could talk about anything.

"Clara, Zack owes 700,000 dollars in online loans. My parents want me to sell the house to repay his debts."

"No way! Mabel, I warn you not to sell it!"

Clara wished she could be with me right now to wake me up.

"Don't give him any money! Zack is a greedy parasite, and your parents are the most biased parents I've ever seen.

"Mabel, don't be soft-hearted. You've worked so hard to get to where you are now.

"Did you hear that, Mabel?"

In my previous life, only Clara sincerely mourned for me after I died. She didn't believe that I really died from an accidental fall and spent a lot of money investigating it.

Hearing Clara's voice, I felt a lot more relieved.

"Don't worry, Clara. I won't be that stupid again."

Clara sighed, "What did you say earlier? What show?"

I packed up some luggage and said, "I'll take a taxi to your house now, and we'll talk when we meet."

I had been thinking about countermeasures on the way.

Now that Zack took my money to pretend to be a rich man and date, I could pretend to be a gold digger and get my money back.

In my previous life, we spent all our money to pay off his last debt. He said he was in a relationship, and his girlfriend wanted a dowry of 300,000 dollars and a house.

But we no longer had any money.

So, my parents decided to sacrifice me. They quickly arranged for me to marry someone.

They wanted to use me in exchange for a dowry of 300,000 dollars.

"Clara, I'm sorry, but I may have to ask you to get close to Zack."

Clara said no problem.

I sent Clara's photo to Zack using the alt account.

[Handsome, can we meet the day after tomorrow?]

I also sent many photos of watches and wines at Clara's place to him.

[I want you to have all these, handsome.]

Zack quickly took the bait and arranged to meet me at a restaurant on the first floor of a hotel.

Clara picked a very niche and cheapest belt and packaged it up.

"Mabel, don't worry. I won't let you be bullied!"

I was very grateful to my parents for giving me the opportunity to grow up healthy and go to school, even though they did it for their own benefit.

But I would never forgive them for the harm they caused me.

In this life, no one could control my life!
