Natasha left the party early. Since she knew Claire would not arrive until the evening, she went back to the villa to rest.

Although others were reluctant, they wouldn’t be so tactless as to insist she stay.

It would be unfortunate if their efforts to win her favor ended up irritating her instead.

The villa was in a quiet location. The floor–to–ceiling windows offered views of mountains and a sea of clouds. Inside, the decor was warm and comfortable, with many furnishings similar to her own home. There was even a dedicated art studio and a dance practice room.

Thinking of the grapefruit juice, she smiled, picked up her phone, snapped a picture of the scenery outside, and sent it to Alexei.

Unfortunately, Alexei didn’t answer the call, likely resting or in a meeting.

Natasha spent some time alone in the villa, waited for a message, and eventually drifted off to sleep.

She woke up again in the evening.

Alexei still hadn’t called back, but Kiara sent her a message. She informed Natasha that Claire had arrived, then mentioned that a barbecue had started outside and to come eat when she

woke up.

The hotel featured a dedicated outdoor barbecue area where staff served drinks and grilled skewers, while a live band played and guests enjoyed a lively, fun atmosphere.

When Natasha arrived, she saw the back of someone who was cornered.

‘Claire? Haven’t seen you in so many years, you’ve become so beautiful. We even thought you were dead.”

The man, whose hair was over–moussed, smiled. “You look like you’re doing pretty well. Where are you working these days? Want to come eat with us?”

After saying that, he reached out to grab her arm.

Before he could touch Claire, a female voice suddenly rang out. “Her well–being is not your concern. Don’t spoil everyone’s appetite while we’re eating.”

‘Who was that? So disrespectful! The man was about to get angry, but then he turned around and saw it was Natasha.

Back then, despite her poor reputation, she was truly beautiful. Many boys claimed they weren’t interested in her, but they couldn’t help glancing her way.

At this class reunion, he even thought that he was doing quite well now, and although Natasha was a rich heiress, it was only in name. If she was still as beautiful, he wouldn’t mind having her as a girlfriend.

Natasha might have a bad temper, but her looks alone are enough to bring prestige.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, David Shaffer, who was already considered very successful in their eyes, was immediately humbled by her.

Then he learned that Natasha’s current boyfriend was none other than the powerful figure from the Turner Group.

He seemed to be very fond of her greatly, giving her such a luxurious hotel on a whim. Even the wealthy scions he knew went out of their way to win her favor.

Let alone pursuing her, he didn’t even dare to think about it.

Seeing her stand up for Claire, the man offered a wry apology and backed off.

Claire, however, stared at the person whose figure overlapped with her memories, a smile appearing in her eyes. “Long time no see.”

Natasha also smiled, “Long time no see. How have you been?”

Claire froze for a moment, a trace of shame flashing across her face.

Meeting again, Natasha didn’t question why Claire disappeared with the money, but instead asked how she had been.

Although they had crossed paths initially, their relationship did not become close.

Both faced their own struggles, maintaining only a casual acquaintance where they occasionally exchanged greetings.

After the SAT, Claire’s parents refused to pay her university tuition. Even though her grades were high enough for a top university, they insisted she start working right away and even arranged a potential marriage with a man more than ten years older than her.

That day, her classmates had organized a small gathering on the sports field. She wanted to consult her teacher about choosing majors and applying for student loans, but her parents followed her and prevented her from doing so.

They declared that even if she went to university, they would follow her to school and ruin

her chances.

If Claire didn’t obey, they had ways to make her life unbearable.

The day before, she had even been beaten, and the tuition fees she had saved from working part–time were completely seized by them.

Claire thought sorrowfully. Other parents would only try to elevate their children, but hers would only put her into misery and still remain unsatisfied.

She knew they were truly capable of causing trouble.

No matter how far she went, she would never escape them unless they died.

At that moment, Claire was so frustrated that she even considered giving in to their wishes and just letting herself decline.

Throughout the entire event, she was preoccupied. A chilling thought surfaced in her mind. Tonight, when she returned home, either she would kill them or she would die.

After the activity on the playground ended, as others prepared for the next event, Claire left by herself.

As she pulled open the locker by the playground to retrieve her bag, she discovered her locker had been pried open.

She suddenly smiled.

That thief was truly unlucky. If it was a prank, they surely didn’t know what she was about to do was crazier than all their pranks combined.

However, upon opening the locker door, Claire was stunned,

On top of the worn–out backpack, an envelope lay quietly, revealing the edge of a stack of banknotes, and a note with messy handwriting.

It said, “Keep moving forward. May your future be brilliant.”

Claire stood rooted to the spot for a long time, smiling until she cried.

That day, her eyes were swollen. She casually picked up a wine bottle from the trash. She bought several bottles of cheap, strong liquor from the supermarket, mixed them together, and refilled the bottle. She took it home and convinced her parents it was imported wine, claiming a wealthy classmate had given it to her because there was some left over.

She also feigned a disheartened and resigned demeanor, ready to be married off.

Her parents were indeed very happy, drinking glass after glass for the bride price they were about to receive.

Her parents were not very capable, but they were both alcoholics, so Claire didn’t even need to persuade them.

Even her brother, who was two years younger, was persuaded to drink several glasses.

That night, Claire stole all the family’s documents and the cash they hadn’t deposited in the

bank.

She then unlocked her brother’s latest phone using his fingerprint, and changed the SIM card and password to her own.
