Ann's brain was like mush. She forced herself to calm down and recall what had happened last night.

She stayed too late in the library to make PowerPoint slides and look for information, so on her way back to the dormitory...

She was knocked unconscious!

And then she was kidnapped?

Ann hurriedly raised her head to look around. In this completely unfamiliar environment, she was the only one in the room.

Just as she was still confused and in panic, the door was pushed open, and then a middle-aged woman in luxurious clothes went inside.

The woman looked Ann up and down, and curled her lips into a strange smile.

Without giving Ann any chance to speak, she handed a phone to her.

"Since you're awake, you can have a look at this."

It was a video. The people and the place in the video could not be more familiar to Ann.

In the Scott's, Ann's father, William, had shackles on his hands and he was being taken into a police car. Ann's stepmother and sister were standing beside him watching coldly at him. Ann's face was pale, and her hands holding the phone were trembling.

"What... is this?"

"The Scott Group has gone bankrupt. Your father is in jail for debts. He will have to stay in prison for at least ten years. Ann, how about making a deal with me?"

Ann clenched her fists and stood up to glare at the woman smiling wickedly in front of her.

"You did this?"

Her father was a law-abiding man. How would he suddenly be in jail?

The woman did not deny it, "Yes."

"Why? I don't even know you!"

The smile on the woman's face froze, and she looked a bit crazy.

"I did it for revenge!"

The woman paused, and she stopped smiling as she looked at Ann's angry face.

"You're in the period of ovulation these days. You might have gotten pregnant last night. If you agree to give birth to that man's child in your belly, I will give you some money so that your father would be out of jail soon. What do you think?"

Ann glared at her with hatred, "You drugged me last night? I won't promise you anything!"

However, the woman smiled confidently.

"Well, you will."

Ann took a taxi and rushed to the Second Prison in the River City where her father, William, was kept.

When she saw William, who was wearing a prison uniform and looked as if he had aged ten years in a short while, Ann's eyes instantly turned red.

"Dad..."

William forced a smile, "Ann, it's good to see you. Dad's fine. Don't worry."

Hearing that, Ann couldn't even hold back her tears, "How could you be fine? They said that you were going to be in prison for more than ten years. Tell me! How can I get you out?"

William wanted to wipe away Ann's tears for her, but he couldn't do it behind the glass. In the end, he could just put down his hand.

"Ann, I owe you a lot. I won't be able to take care of you from now on."

"Dad..."

"Listen. I deposited some money in your name in the past few years, and I have already had the passbook sent to your school. Take the money and go study abroad. I have already asked someone to finish the formalities for you... As for Sansa and her daughter, the money left at home is enough for them to live a good life."

Ann shook her head, "I don't want it. Why don't we use the money to get you out?"

William sighed, "Ann, I've committed a serious crime. That money is far from enough. You suffered a lot as a child because I was poor. I hope you can listen to me now. Live a good life from now on..." He talked about it like it was his last wish, and Ann could not stop crying at it.

When Ann came back home from the prison abstractedly, there were only Sansa and her daughter, Jenny, at home. "Damn it! The money on these passbooks only adds up to a few million, and there isn't much jewelry or anything." They muttered as they pulled their suitcases out. It seemed they were about to leave the house.

Ann held onto Sansa's suitcase and stopped Sansa and Jenny from leaving. Ann's eyes were red.

"Dad is in prison now. Why don't you two think about how to get him out? Why are you trying to leave him now?"

Sansa got rid of Ann's grasp, her face filled with impatience and disgust.

"You must be kidding, right? Even if we spend every penny this family has, we can't save your father! Can't you see that! The rest of his life will be in prison. Will you look at me? I get nothing but trouble since I'm with him. How miserable I am!"

Ann clenched her fists and said through her gritted teeth, "How can you say that? It's my father who saved you when you were driven into a corner. After you married my father, our Scott family takes good care of you and your daughter. You don't have to do anything but enjoy life. My father has never said no to your requests. And now, you said that you got nothing but trouble? Even a dog will be more grateful." Hearing this, Sansa raised her hand and was about to slap her, but Ann grabbed and threw her hand away.

"Well, you have nothing to do with the Scott family anymore. I'll save my father on my own!"

Jenny had been silent the entire time. When she heard this, she looked up and down at Ann. Then she stopped Sansa, who was dragging her luggage out, and she smiled at Ann.

"You have a way to save Dad?" After a pause, Jenny narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing.

"What did he leave you? Money? Or something else?!"

When Sansa heard this, her eyes lit up. She looked at Ann with wide eyes and grabbed her.

"I see what trick you are playing. No wonder you want to chase us away. You want to take away all the old bastard's money, don't you? You wish!"

Looking at the shameless pair in front of her, Ann was rendered speechless. Her father had given away a fortune to them, which could afford the rest of their life. But now, they accused her of greed. They had gone too far.

After a long while, Ann laughed in anger.

"Dad has been thinking about you all the time. But you two are just ungrateful bastards. Get out! Get out now! You are not my family!"

After saying that, Ann didn't spare a look at them anymore. She took out her phone and dialed a number, trying to contact one of her father's close friends. She wanted to know how her father was doing now. Sansa and Jenny, who were planning to leave at first, exchanged a glance. They believed that William must have left a large sum of money for Ann. They were also members of the Scott family and they could get a share of it, of course.

They must take the money away!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
