Chapter 6
The others who had bullied me looked desperate to escape.
But my father’s bodyguards had already surrounded them.
Each time my father’s gaze landed on someone, they would lower their head, wishing they could sink into the ground.
At that moment, the double blow left Ryan completely at a loss for how to face the situation..
Part of his shock came from discovering that I was the wealthy daughter of the Wynn family right after breaking up with
him.
The other part came from Chloe.
He had truly believed she was just hot-tempered but harmless.
It was her instigation that made him agree to “test” me.
But in the end, she ruined a good relationship.
“Lena, you’re the Wynn family heiress. Why did you pretend to be poor and deceive me?”
His accusation left me speechless.
Pretend to be poor?
Who was really pretending?
After my mother took me away from home, I had not seen my father for over a decade.
I believed I was just the child of a single-parent household.
I really was penniless, having paid off over a hundreds of thousands dollars of his debts in recent years.
Ryan, on the other hand, owned a nightclub and came from a wealthy family.
Yet he pretended to be broke, shamelessly spending the money I worked hard to earn.
Worse still, he conspired with his so-called best friend and childhood sweetheart to toy with me.
Youthful recklessness always comes with a price you eventually have to pay.
I endured three years of hardship, and I had learned my lesson.
“Pretend to be poor? Ryan, who was really pretending, and who drained all my money?”
“You watched them humiliate me. You wanted to sell the only house my mother left me.”
“You even pushed me to sell myself, all for some ridiculous ‘test.””
“Do you even count as human?”

The moment I said “sell myself,” Ryan’s confidence faltered.
He avoided my gaze, still wanting to argue.
But when he saw my father’s growingly cold expression, he shut his mouth.
Chloe, recently slapped, had just regained her senses.
With anger still burning, she spat out, “You did all that willingly for Ryan, and now you want to blame him for everything?”
“You were born rich but still worked in a bar to seduce men. You’re disgusting.”
Before she could finish, my father was about to act.
I stopped him.
This slap, I wanted to deliver myself.
After I hit her, Chloe stared at me wide-eyed, clutching her face.
“You actually dared to hit me. Ryan, you have to help me…”
But before she could finish, Ryan slapped her as well..
“Don’t drag me down with you. You know she’s the Wynn heiress and you still insulted her.”
“You deserved it.”
