My parents looked like they were going to be
sick. They were quickly handcuffed.
Sterling Sr. walked up to me. “Lia, thank you
L
for saving my life.”
“You are Amy’s daughter. Do you think I can
work with you?”
My mom looked at me. “Lia, is it true? Is it
your company?”
Chad shook his head. “Lia is lying!”
I laughed softly. “I founded Skyhigh Jewelry
when I was eighteen. By the time I came back
to the Millers, I was rich.”
“Your family wealth isn’t a tenth of my
company. Do you think I came back for the
money?”
Mom screamed. “Lia, we misunderstood! You
can save us!”
My dad yelled, “Lia, we’re family! Save us!”
Chad nodded quickly. “Lia, save us! We’ll be
happy!”
Ashley begged me, “Please, save us!”
I turned away.
They saw me as nothing.
く
They saw me as nothing.
When they saw who I was, they wanted my
help. I was done with them!
The police took my parents away.
Sterling Sr. and I talked.
Jason Jr. found out he wasn’t Sterling Sr.’s
son. He tried to kill him to get the money.
I saved Sterling Sr.
I said I was Amy’s daughter.
Jason Jr. hired Ashley.
My parents helped Ashley.
Jason Jr. and Ashley were sent to prison.
My parents were also sent to prison.
I deleted their numbers and left the city.
It was a mistake coming back.
I’ll love myself.
I’ll never cry for them.
