After Becoming A Billionaire, My Whole Family Abused Me Online
Chapter 3
After leaving that emotionless home, I wandered alone on the streets for a long time.
Eventually, I found a hotel to stay in temporarily.
I consulted a lawyer online at a high price:[ The house I bought outright was under my parents' names. I wanted to know if I could get the house back.}
The lawyer said that as long as I could prove that I was the actual buyer.
For example, if I could present the payment, renovation, or property management proof when I bought the house, I could get the house back.
I had the habit of keeping materials, so I kept all those things well.
With the goal of reclaiming the house, I hired that lawyer to handle this matter for me.
Afterward, I lay on the bed, gazing at the nine-digit balance on my phone, lost in thought.
My parents had always favored Leo, thinking he was smarter than me and would surely have a promising future.
I hadn't even finished junior high when they forced me to drop out to earn tuition for Leo.
So, I got out on my own early.
I did manual labor and worked as a waiter, a worker, and a courier—all kinds of hard and tiring jobs.
The house they lived in was the one I bought after saving for nearly ten years.
When I bought the house, my parents said they were afraid I would neglect them in the future and persuaded me in various ways to buy the house under their names.
Thinking we were all family, I agreed without hesitation.
But upon I was released from prison, they immediately transferred the house in Leo's name, not even willing to leave a room for me.
I couldn't forgive my parents, and I was even more disappointed in Leo.
I had sacrificed everything for him, even going to jail to take the rap for him.
But what about him? Not only did he thank me, but he also joined my parents in driving me out of the house.
Fortunately, God didn't drive me into a corner.
I got more money than I could spend.
The next day, I went straight to the sales office of the villa area.
There just happened to be a promotion here, with more purchases and more discounts.
I directly bought ten fully renovated villas in one go and quickly settled the furniture and appliances.
I immediately moved into one of the villas and hired a servant to cook and clean for me every day.
As for the other nine villas, I rented them all out.
I had always had a dream of being a landlord. Unexpectedly, after I was released, my dream actually came true.
I could spend all the money just on the rent from those nine villas every month.
Life was wonderful.
A month later, I received a call from my father.
"Ethan, are you crazy? You actually sued us!"
I said lightly, "I'm suing the people who have occupied my house."
"Well, Ethan. You really have a lot of tricks and a ruthless heart, worthy of being an ex-convict. You have to make this scandal open, right?"
Even through the phone, I seemed to be able to see his livid face.
"Thanks to you for teaching me so well?" I said sarcastically.
Hearing this, my mother also shouted, "Ethan, so what if you get the house back? Don't forget that Leo is now working in a big company with a monthly income of tens of thousands.
"And you are just a criminal who can't even find a job. With no income, even surviving is a struggle for you. You will have to ask for Leo's help. Are you sure you want to fall out with us for a house?"
"I want this house back not because I need it. I simply don't want you ungrateful ones to live in it!"
I ignored their cursing and hung up the phone immediately.
I had just put away my phone when I heard someone knocking on my door.
I opened the door and found a very sexy and beautiful girl standing there.
"Hello, I am Eleanor, a tenant of Villa No. 2."
I had some impression of this girl.
She was the first tenant to rent my villa. Our transaction went very smoothly. She liked my villa and signed the contract on the spot.
I looked at her and asked in confusion, "Well, what's the matter?"
She lifted her hair, somewhat embarrassed.
"Well... I am now hosting a class reunion at home. They have heard that we have a wealthy individual here who bought ten villas in one go. So they all hope to see you. I came to ask if you could do me the honor of attending my party."
As she spoke, Eleanor's eyes were filled with shyness, her cheeks charmingly flushed.
I didn't know her well, so my first instinct was to decline.
But looking into her pleading, wide eyes, I found myself unable to refuse.
Seeing my hesitation, Eleanor clasped her hands together and pleaded, "Please say you will. I've bragged to my friends that I'm very close to you and that I can definitely bring you over to impress them.
"Just help me out so I won't be embarrassed in front of everyone, okay?"
I had a characteristic. I was a pushover when people were nice to me.
When someone asked me for a favor, I couldn't bring myself to refuse.
"Alright. I'll be right over."
Upon finally getting my agreement, Eleanor immediately cheered up. "Great! Then I'll wait for you at the villa."
After she left, I changed out of my pajamas, put on a suit, and headed to her door.
What I didn't expect was that Vivian would be the one to open the door.
At that moment, Leo was also by her side.
"Ethan, you're actually stalking us here!" Vivian frowned and barked as soon as she saw me.
"Do you two know each other?"
Eleanor approached, looking at Vivian and me in confusion.
"Eleanor, this is the criminal brother of Leo I was just complaining about. He's old enough but still wants to take over the room I prepared for my baby and live off his parents, utterly shameless."
Hearing this, the others in the villa gathered around, scrutinizing me with complicated expressions.
Vivian grew more excited and spoke down to me.
"Get out of here. This is a rich villa area, not a place for a poor criminal like you!"
