"Sir! She's the older sister! She has money! Her fiancé's a rich CEO!"
"Take her! Trade her for cash! She's worth way more than my younger one!"
My body went rigid.
Caroline nodded frantically.
"Yes! Grab my sister! Her fiancé will pay ransom for sure! I'm worthless!"
I laughed—tears and blood running together.
"Fine."
I picked up the bank card and held it high.
"The money's here. Three hundred thousand."
Every eye locked onto that card.
"But only I know the password."
Step by step, I backed toward the balcony. Wind and snow rushed in.
"Georgia! What are you doing! Get back here!"
Mom's voice pitched with panic.
"Throw me the card!"
I looked at her, eyes hollow.
"Mom, you always said I came into this world to collect a debt. You were right."
"Today, I'm paying it off."
My fingers opened.
The card drifted away on the wind, vanishing into the snowy dark.
"My money!"
Mom screamed and lunged for the railing.
Amid the chaos, I turned and climbed onto the ledge.
"Georgia—!"
