The other man scoffed, “The boss wanted to
check on the resort. As the general manager,
I’m just here to show them around.”
Brittany had no idea what was happening, and
smiled.
“That’s me, the boss!” she said, looking at
Chad and her friends.
Everyone started congratulating her, her head
held even higher than before. But then. the man

“You’re not the boss of anything! This resort belongs to the Qian family. We’re not related to
the Chen family.
The manager’s words slapped Brittany’s face.
Brittany’s smile vanished. “What are you talking
about? Aren’t you working for my dad?”
“Don’t be stupid. I’m the manager of this
resort. I don’t take orders from your dad!”
He turned his head and saw me standing in the
crowd.
The scowl on his face suddenly turned into a
beaming smile.
“Miss, you didn’t even tell us you were coming!
We would have rolled out the red carpet for
you!”

The manager wained to the, mis race full I
respect.
I became the center of attention.
“Tiffany, I get that you hate me, but don’t tell me you hired these people to embarrass me,” Brittany said, still convinced that I was behind
all of this.
I just smirked. “I’m not like you.”
“You’re just trying to be famous, and I am the
one who is living life,” she said.

I did live in the countryside.
But that doesn’t mean we were poor.

My dad always told me to be low–key.

My family’s motto is honesty, low profiles and no bragging.
So, I never told anyone who my dad was, or that
I was the heiress to the Qian Conglomerate.
Whenever people asked, I always told them I was from the sticks.
I never told anyone that we were poor. That was just an assumption they made.
“Mr. Chen, we haven’t seen each other for three years.”
I looked at Brittany’s dad. He swallowed and said, “Miss Qian, how did you get here?”
I glanced over at Brittany, who was now white

was now the Chen Family’s resort.”
“Mr. Chen, is my dad’s car doing okay?”
I smiled, my eyes as cold as ice.
Chen’s body shook, and he was practically
kneeling in front of me. I held out my hand,
asking for the keys.
He gave them to me with trembling hands. I
spoke each word deliberately, “Driving
someone’s car without their permission is called
stealing. Who gave you permission to take over
my resort?”
“My dad gave you a job because he was trying
to be nice to Martha’s brother. But you…”
“Don’t think I don’t know how you’ve been
using your position for personal gain. My dad
has been turning a blind eye because of
Martha.”

Chen’s face turned whiter than white.
I had the manager calculate all of today’s
expenses, which came out to $135,300.
I put the bill in front of them. Chen took the bill,
his hands shaking.
He’d planned on taking advantage of the
manager’s absence, and just get his hands on a
blank check.
But he never expected this to happen.
“You’re fired,” I said, looking at him without an
ounce of sympathy.
“Pay up, and then get out of here.”
“You can’t fire my dad!”
Brittany yelled, clearly feeling like she was the

“Because I am the heiress of the Qian Conglomerate. I’m the one calling the shots.”
I stepped closer to her, and raised an eyebrow. “Oh, I almost forgot about the vase that you broke. You promised you were going to pay for
it.”
“That vase is part of a set. The pair is worth
$1.8 million. And since one is broken, the other
one is worthless. So, you now owe $1,935,300!”
Brittany collapsed to the floor. Her two lapdogs
had mysteriously vanished.
Everyone else scattered, not wanting to get
caught up in the mess.
“You ruined me!” Chen slapped Brittany in the
face and she started crying.
She had no idea how everything had gone

And now, it was too late to take it all back.

Chen got fired and was responsible for a
massive amount of money.
He sold his house, but that wasn’t enough to
pay the debt.
He reached out to Martha, hoping she’d help
him.

But Martha was furious when she heard what
happened, and asked my dad for an extended
leave, staying in the US for the rest of the year,
leaving her brother to deal with the mess he
created.
The day after we left the resort, Chad sent me
an apology, claiming that he still loved me, but I
just blocked him.

As for Brittany, her father tore up her Harvard
acceptance and sent her to work in a factory to pay off the debt.
Two months later, I was standing at the gates
of Caltech, staring at Jason.
“Why are you here?”
I raised an eyebrow. I thought he was going to Harvard.
Jason grabbed my suitcase and yawned, looking at me with his piercing blue eyes.
“I’m here to latch on to the next big thing.”
