The last name had been given to me by Grandma Grace, and I wasn’t giving it up.
Margaret Bennett nodded slightly, accepting the excuse.
She pulled out two bank cards and handed one to me and one to Olivia Bennett.
“This is your allowance for the month.”
But Olivia’s card had $100,000, and mine only $50,000.
“Why do I only get fifty?” I asked, displeased.
Richard Bennett’s voice was cold.
“Because you’re devious and not worth a single strand of Olivia’s hair.”
I clenched my teeth.
Fine. If that’s how they wanted it, I’d take the rest myself.
I tucked the card safely into my bag. This was enough to get Grandma Grace a full medical check-up.
Margaret sighed.
“On the 20th of next month, Olivia will turn eighteen. We’ve decided to hold your official ‘return to the family’ banquet on the same day—two happy occasions at once.”
It seemed they’d forgotten that day was also my birthday.
In my last life, I’d been humiliated beyond belief on that day.
I was going to refuse, but then an amusing idea came to mind, and I smiled in agreement.
When the time came, I’d give them a surprise they’d never forget.
The Bennetts transferred me to a new school, but I didn’t bother going.
