Chapter 1
After my mother found out that I had saved three hundred thousand dollars, my brother Clay came to borrow money from me.
He wanted to invest it to make a fortune.
I didn't lend it to him, which caused him to miss the opportunity to make money.
Clay killed me under resentment.
My parents chose to cover up for him.
But they didn't know that Mr. Gray was a scammer!
When I woke up again, I was reborn back when Clay asked me to borrow money.

"Yara, I heard that you made a lot of money at work! About three hundred thousand dollars!"
I looked up at Clay who asked this question, and he was looking at me expectantly.
I held back my complex emotions. I came back!
I went back to the time when Clay persuaded me to invest money in business.
In my previous life, I tried so hard to persuade them and refused to give them money, so they did not get deceived.
However, Clay started to hate me when he saw the video posted by Mr. Gray on his Instagram about making a lot of money.
I was silent for a moment, then shook my head. "Who told you that? I only earn a little a month. I have to pay for rent, food, socializing, and give some to our parents. I can barely save any money after all of those. How can I have that much money?"
Clay obviously didn't believe what I said.
He looked suspicious. "Really? Mom said she saw it with her own eyes. There is three hundred thousand dollars in your bank card. Or are you not telling the truth to your family? Are you lying to us?"
As soon as he said this, everyone at the table who was pretending to be eating looked up at me.
It was as if what Clay said was true and I was lying to them.
Clay said seriously, "Don't worry, just give me the three hundred thousand dollars. I will use your ID to apply for a loan of three hundred thousand dollars, then I will pay you back with the loan."
"Trust me, I won't cheat you of your money."
I couldn't believe what I heard. "You mean, I lend you three hundred thousand dollars, and you pay me back three hundred thousand dollars."
Clay said with a look of "you are very smart", "Yes! This is what I meant."
"But the prerequisite for you to pay me back is that you have to use my ID to apply for a loan to pay me back?"
"Yes, otherwise how can I have the money to pay you back?"
I stared him with my eyes wide open for a long time and said, "Wait a minute, let me make it clear."
I didn't understand how anyone could take it for granted like this.
He was a moron, right?
After a long silence, I still couldn't figure out what he was thinking. How come his thought was so unique?
No normal person would come up with this kind of idea.
"Will you lend it to me or not? I'm your brother, can I deceive you?"
Chapter 2
If I really gave it to you, I might as well spend the money to go to the hospital to check my brain!
I shook my head. "I really don't have that much money."
Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you.
Hearing me say that, Clay's face darkened. "Mom saw it with her own eyes before, why don't you have the money now?"
I looked at my mother and her eyes were evasive.
I was wondering why they suddenly called me and asked me to come home when I was at work.
It turned out that my mother had long been interested in my money and had been planning to seek benefits from me.
In my previous life, I felt that my parents had a hard life after I started working.
So I saved money from my salary every month to give my parents.
Now look how fool I was!
"Yara, since you don't have any money, just give me your ID, I'll go get a loan now. Mr. Gray is waiting. If I missed it, I wouldn't have the opportunity again!"
There was urgency in his tone.
I rolled my eyes speechlessly. It was the first time I saw someone rushing to give money to a scammer.
Use my ID to get a loan? How could he think so nicely? Why didn't he think of flying?
In my previous life, I felt that something was not right about it, so I tried to persuade him earnestly.
But in the end, they still accused me of not wanting them to make money!
They called me an ungrateful person with evil intentions.
They insisted that they had already made money following Mr. Gray, and the more they invested, the more they would earn.
They were determined, but finally gave up because they didn't get enough money.
My dad said indifferently, "Just listen to your brother and let him get the usurious loan. When he makes money, he can pay it back to you. It's just a few years of loan. You just work hard for some time. It will be fine once he makes money."
I work hard for some time? How funny!
"Have you used your ID cards to get the loans?"
They were choked from what I said. My dad said awkwardly, "Well, you don't have money."
"Oh, I lost my ID, so I can't get a loan.
"Besides, why don't you work hard and let Clay pay you back when he makes money?"
My dad said without thinking, "How can that be possible? How can we get a loan? Don't we have you? We are a family. It doesn't matter who applies for the loan."
I sneered. Shameless! "You know you can't borrow money."
Chapter 3
My dad opened his mouth and said nothing.
He glanced at Clay.
Clay sat on a stool, looking like he was doing this for my own good. "If you don't have money, then get married.
"Mr. Harris's son is interested in you. He promised to give three hundred thousand dollars as the engagement gift. He did it because you are a college graduate."
This is outrageous. Will they not be satisfied only if they make use of me?
"I really have great value, three hundred thousand dollars!
"Why don't you get married? Mrs. Watson's retarded daughter is interested in you too!"
Clay pretended to hit me. "You!"
I looked at him with a sneer, what a despicable man!
He finally didn't hit me and said to me.
"You will go on the blind date tomorrow, get engaged quickly, and give me the engagement gift."
After saying that, he pushed me into the room without saying anything and planned to take me to the date the next day.
I looked at the closed door and thought that if I didn't stop this marriage, my life would have been in vain!
With a plan in mind, I lay peacefully in bed and fell asleep.
The next day, without waiting for them to urge me, I took a shower and put on makeup.
I looked at myself in the mirror. Wonderful!
I wore heavy makeup and didn't look like someone who could live a normal life.
Clay took me to Mr. Harris's house.
Mr. Harris's son was sitting opposite me, and he was a little stunned to see me.
"You are Yara Ford, right? Are you a college graduate?
"You must give birth to a son. You can only marry into our family after you give birth to a son. Also, you look good like this, but I like women who know how to live a normal life, so you should wear less makeup in the future."
I waited for him to finish, then slowly said, "I can't have children."
His expression changed.
"Can't have children? Then why did you come to me if you can't have children? Did your family lie to me?"
I curled my hair out of boredom. "Yes, I fell into a river when I was a kid and got hurt. So I can't have children."
His face turned from red to white then darkened.
After a while, he got up and went out angrily.
I went out only after I heard the quarrel outside die down, and saw that there was no one outside.
They just dumped me here!
