Chapter 3

I was still in a daze when Ethan pulled me out the door.

From childhood to adulthood, everything I did was to pave the way for Ethan.

I started working after graduating from high school.

Maybe Mary was right. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have had to start working so early or have met the wealthy man, Chris Watson, who wanted me to be his beloved girl's substitute.

Moreover, I wouldn't have had 300 million dollars now.

The night wind blew on my face, and it was freezing.

I randomly found a hotel to check into. Thinking about Ethan's face when he said he would book a hotel for me, I felt it funny.

When it was about to pay, he ran faster than anyone else.

This was my younger brother.

If I were a beggar on the street today, I believed that he would have kicked me out of the family right away.

I didn't sleep all night.

I received an invitation to the opening ceremony of a branch of the Watson Group, and then I looked for lawyers for advice online.

Before entering the door, I heard Ethan say that he had already sold the car I bought for him.

But the car and the two houses were all under my name.

I thought of this day when I bought them, so I gave Mary and Ethan two fake property deeds.

At that time, I thought that as long as they didn't make any trouble, they could live in the two houses and use the car as they wanted.

But I didn't expect this day to come.

They were originally quite polite to me perhaps because they thought I had a respectable job in the city.

Therefore, we could still maintain superficial peace.

But after they knew I couldn't make a living in the city and had to go home, their true colors were exposed.

I stayed in the hotel for one night.

Perhaps because I was spoiled too much by Chris, even the five-star hotel was not comfortable for me.

At dawn, I contacted the sales office to buy a house.

Without telling anyone, I moved into the new villa quietly.

I just moved into a new house and needed to buy a lot of daily necessities.

When I came out of the supermarket with two big bags, I could hardly walk.

"Let me help you."

I heard a female voice behind me and my eyes lit up instantly.

After chatting for a while, I found out that she was a newly hired employee of the branch of the Watson Group here, and her name was Sherry Lawson.

"You don't have a job? How about I recommend you? You can search the Watson Group. The bonus they give out is equivalent to what other companies would give you in a month."

When I heard about Chris' company, I couldn't help but feel a little timid.

When I was with him before, he often reminded me not to interfere in the company's affairs.

As a qualified substitute, I was very clear about his taboo, so even though I had been pampered for a few years, my understanding of the Watson Group was not even as good as that of a passerby.

Hearing Sherry's excited voice, I could only shake my head.

"I don't want to work for the time being..."

She raised her eyebrows helplessly.

"Well, the branch has just opened and is in need of people. I saw you a few times and felt that you might need a job. You seem to meet the boss' requirements, so..."

I knew she had good intentions, so I didn't say anything.

The only relationship between me and the Watson Group was probably that I served as their spokesperson.

Because I looked like Chris' beloved girl, he required me to cooperate with the company's photo activities during the contract period.

So I received an invitation to the opening of this branch.

As soon as I entered the house, Mary called.
