Chapter 265:

“Marissa, stop right there!” a familiar voice called from behind, causing Marissa to halt instantly. Before she could turn, Korbin, Betty, and Denise had already positioned themselves in front of her, blocking her way. Their angry expressions made Marissa furrow her brow in confusion. “What? I gave you twenty thousand last time. Have you already spent it all?”

Betty pointed at Marissa accusingly, her voice sharp. “Marissa, you’re so ungrateful! Now that you’ve become a wealthy lady, you’ve apparently forgotten about your own family—your parents and your sister. You parade around, living in opulence every day, yet all you offer us is a modest rental apartment and a mere forty thousand monthly for sustenance. Do you consider us hobos?”

Korbin interjected, his voice laced with resentment, “You indulge in luxuries while neglecting the welfare of your own kin. If I had known you’d turn out so heartless, I would have cast you into the river without a second thought when you were little!”

Denise’s gaze bore into Marissa, brimming with animosity. “Marissa, compared to prostituting in a nightclub, posing as a wealthy lady is a walk in the park, isn’t it? Given your apparent ease in amassing wealth, why subject us to such a frugal life?”
