"Don't worry, sweetheart. Her mom and she are always fighting—they won't last long. Once she leaves, the master bedroom will be yours."

Emma grumbled a bit more, but Jeremy managed to pacify her.

Leave?

This was my home. Why should I leave?

In my past life, I was brainwashed by that yellow-haired boy and Jeremy, missed the college entrance exams, borrowed money, and went on the run, only to end up being sold to a scam syndicate.

Meanwhile, Emma, with my mom's financial support, polished her resume, studied abroad, and returned to join forces with Jeremy to drain my mom's assets.

Now that I was back home, their plans had already been derailed.

This was just the beginning.

I would shatter all their schemes from here on out.

In the days that followed, no matter how harshly my mom spoke, I calmly nodded and agreed.

Whatever she said, I responded with "yes, yes, yes," "right, right, right."

"Stop playing games all day! Have you done your homework?"

"I finished my homework, uninstalled the games, and sold all the in-game items. I transferred the money to your account."

My mom looked at me skeptically. "... I don't believe you."

But she soon found out I was telling the truth.
