Catherine, feeling anxious, was eager to know whether Annie's foster parents had given any money to her biological parents.

Interrupting her words directly, she said, "Forget everything else for now. Just answer this: Did they give them the money?"

Vera also chimed in, urging her. "Yes, did your foster parents give them any money or not?"

Annie hesitated for a moment before speaking. "My foster parents don't have much money. They're both in poor health and are too afraid to even go to the hospital

"At first, they didn't give anything, honestly, they couldn't. The little savings they had, built up over decades, were meant for me and my brother.

"But my biological parents kept coming by, constantly harassing them. Eventually, my foster parents had no choice but to sell the pigs they had raised and give them the more than 20,000 dollars they earned from it.

"After they got money from us once, they felt entitled and started coming around regularly, demanding more from my foster parents.

"If they didn't give them any money, they would stand outside my foster parents' door and insult me. calling me a heartless traitor and saying all sorts of horrible things.

"When I wasn't home, my foster parents, not wanting to lose face or let the insults get worse, gave them the little over 10,000 dollars we had left, just to keep them from making a scene and turning it into a joke for others to laugh at "But they were never satisfied and kept showing up at our door. During that time, they really wore us down.

"Eventually, when they realized there was no more money to squeeze from my foster parents, they cante straight to me.

"I could barely support myself back then, and I had borrowed a lot of money from Ivy.

"A screenwriter on set told them that, since they were my biological parents, they should first settle my debts, and only then would they stop bothering us.

"I'm really grateful that the screenwriter helped us. Thanks to him, my foster parents and I were fixally left in peace.

Catherine interrupted Annie, slamming her hand on the table in frustration. "Ugh, how could your foster parents be so foolish Why would they give them money?"

Annie shook her head with a bitter smile. They said my foster parents raised me, so they should ge them money?

Catherine ground her teeth in anger. "What a pair of old sc"undrels!" She hissed. "If it were me. I'd have chopped those bestands up!"

Annie shook her head in disbelief. Im at a loss for words. I don't know how I ended up being their daughter! I'm honestly ashamed of my own background! 85%

"They even went around in our production team, threatening that if I ever made money, they'd come back and demand more,"

"What? They said that? Unbelievable! What a bunch of seundrels!" Catherine was livid, her hair practically standing on end.

"Annie, leave this to me. I'll help you get your money back. Those old parasites aren't even human!"

Vera was also outraged. "Exactly, they only take advantage of you and your foster parents because they see you as easy targets!

low can we let sem like that bully good, honest people? You and your foster parents are too kind. You don't owe them anything, so why should you give them money?

"By all logic, they abandoned you when you were born. It's your foster parents who raised you. They should be the ones giving your foster parents money!

"They act like it's perfectly justified. I'm speechless in the face of such shamelessness!"

Catherine looked at Vera, her expression filled with righteous anger, and said seriously. "Vera, I think we're a perfect match! If you ever come to Brighton, come find me. If anyone dares to mess with you, I'll take care of them!" Vera was taken aback, surprised by Catherine's offer, but nodded with a smile. "Okay!"

"Alright, enough about them. Talking about these frustrating things is just bringing the mood down. We're finally together, so let's talk about something more enjoyable."

Ivy gently nudged Annie. "Annie, you go ahead and take care of your things."

Annie nodded with a sad expression.

Noticing the mood was a bit off, Ivy smiled and said, "The Dunn Group's national advertising campaign needs some outdoor shoots. Aside from the provincial capital, we'll also be heading to Brighton for a fe more scenes."

Noticing that everyone was still caught up in thoughts about Annie's biological parents, Ivy shifted the topic. "By the way, the girl I sponsor from the mountain village, Rhea, told me that her school is hosting a May ball.

"She's been given a key role in one of the performances and even wants to invite me to attend the event. Vera smiled and asked, "Is she an art student?"

"No, she's actually a student receiving financial assistance.

"I've been supporting her since middle school, and later, during the college entrance exam, the school had a special program for students from low-income backgrounds. I suggested she apply, and she was able to directly interview and get into Brighton University" "Oh? She has time for extracurricular performances like this?" Vera asked, curious.

Ivy was silent for a moment. "When she first mentioned these things to me, I asked her the same question.

"She told me she wants to gain more experience at school so that, once she graduates, she can help other kids from her hometown have more opportunities to learn. The extracurricular options in the mountain

villages are so limited."

"That makes sense." Vera nodded.

Ivy took out her phone and showed several photos of dresses. "These are the performance gowns Rhea asked me to order for her."

Vera was shocked. "These dresses must be expensive, right? Each one costs at least 10,000 or 20,000. You ordered four or five sets at once. Wouldn't that add up to over 100,000?"

vy nodded. "Rhea said that the students at Brighton University come from wealthy families, and their utfits for the ball are all very stylish. She asked me to get her something a little nicer. I thought about it and decided to order four dresses, all in the mid-to-high-end range.

"She also asked me to send her an additional 20,000 dollars to cover the costs of this outdoor performance. I was about to transfer it, but haven't had the chance yet."

Robin casually remarked, "You're sponsoring a poor student? With all this luxury, it sounds more like you're sponsoring a scammer."

"Huh?" Ivy looked at Robin, puzzled. "Mr. Ramsey, do you... know something

know something I'm missing?

"Oh, by the way, when you and Marrisa went to Brighton University last time, did you meet Rhea?"

Robin shook his head. "No! I never involve myself in other people's business."

Catherine scoffed. "The person you met was probably a scam artist! A girl from the mountains who doesn't appreciate the opportunity to study, taking money from her sponsor and wasting it on all these pointless things, it's unheard of.

"Not long ago, I met a girl at Brighton University whose family was far from wealthy. She relied on her father's lover to illegally get some money from the foundation and acted like a rich girl in school. Girls like that disgust me! "She parades around with other people's money, acting like she's some kind of rich heiress.

"This girl takes money that doesn't belong to her, flaunts it everywhere, and even bullies those weaker than her. It's truly despicable!

"Unfortunately for her, she crossed paths with Robin and me. I made sure to deal with her right then and there!
