Devil's Prisoner of Love by Prefer

Five million. Although it wasn't as much as the last time Zachary owed the casino, where would they find the means to repay it now?

When Ivy heard this astronomical figure, she nearly collapsed on the floor. This useless fool!

"What about Mom's money?" Ivy suppressed the fury rising in her chest. He was her only brother. How could she just abandon him?

Zachary lowered his head and muttered in a barely audible voice, "That money... I lost it."

"You lost it and still owe five million?" Ivy stared at Zachary in disbelief.

She desperately hoped he would deny it, but Zachary only nodded. Ivy kicked him hard, sending him sprawling. "You knew that was the hard-earned money Mom saved up with her blood and sweat. How could you be so heartless?"

"I know I was wrong! I just didn't want you all to struggle so much, so I thought this would be a way to make money. But I didn't expect to lose this much," Zachary confessed, his face full of guilt.

This was a man who never learned his lesson. If it weren't for Zachary losing money last time, Genevieve wouldn't have gone to Paul for help, which ultimately led to Aurora discovering their connection. The family disintegrated as a result. Paul had even fallen out with the Blake family and severed ties with them completely.

Apart from leaving two houses for himself and Zachary, Paul had walked away with nothing, divorcing in the process.

Yet, even such a heavy price hadn't woken Zachary up. He had made the same mistake again. Ivy's face burned with anger.

"You know you were wrong? You're just a reckless, ungrateful dog! Because of you, we got kicked out of the Montgomery family. Mom ended up in prison because of you. And now, you're still out here trying to destroy everything. Will you only be satisfied when the entire family is in ruins?"

The previous events could be considered their own doing. They weren't truly part of the Montgomery family by blood, so being cast out was expected.
