Chapter 5
Samuel was heartbroken. In front of everyone, he pulled Sarah into his arms to protect her.
“Enough! Are you all done yet?
“From the beginning, the only person I’ve ever loved is Sarah. If it weren’t for Mia constantly stirring things up and my mom forcing me to marry her, I never would have married her!”
To defend Sarah, Samuel publicly belittled me, leaving me utterly disrespected.
If this had happened before, I would have been devastated and tried to explain myself endlessly.
But after narrowly escaping death twice, my mindset suddenly changed.
Whether Samuel loved me or not no longer mattered.
I had saved Ella with my own life, almost died at his hands, and no matter how much debt I owed, it was paid back.
I remained silent while they argued loudly.
Samuel was convinced I was acting. Seeing everyone standing up for me, he pointed at me, demanding that I admit my fault.

“Mia, you always talk about repaying kindness. Why aren’t you doing that now?

“Today, if you admit that you were just acting, I’ll consider the debt repaid. I won’t use your money again from now on. Isn’t that enou
I listened to his words, and my heart grew colder.
Samuel spent all his salary on Sarah, yet it was never enough.
To provide a good life for Sarah, Samuel had begun eyeing the small savings I had slowly accumulated.
I didn’t eat meat, didn’t buy vegetables, didn’t buy new clothes, and the little bit of money I saved was taken by him to spend on anothe woman, Naturally, I wasn’t happy.
Yet every time we argued, Samuel always managed to force me into submission.
“Mia, don’t forget who raised you.
“You ate my family’s food, use my family’s things. Don’t you think you owe us something?”
“If it weren’t for me and Ella taking care of you, do you think you’d still be alive to argue with me here?”
Every time he brought this up, ! would be left speechless.
“But Samuel, when the flood

back then?” “You only remember that I should repay you, but have you forgotten who saved you
Samuel’s face changed instantly as if he couldn’t believe I would say such a thing.
“Mia, how dare you use kindness to threaten me?
“How can you be so unreasonable? Don’t you have any conscience left?”
Sarah wasn’t about to miss any opportunity to degrade me and immediately chimed in, “Yeah, Mia, your father and mother saved people, tha their business. Why should we repay you?
“Besides, that flood came quickly and left quickly. They died easily. But Ella raised you your whole life!”
I had calmed down emotionally, but hearing Sarah Insult my parents to my face, I glared at her, filled with resentment.
“Sarah, I know you were dumped by a rich man and wanted to find someone to back you up. You chose Samuel after searching around, but the
doesn’t bother me,
“But my dad and mom were heroes in the flood. You slander them, and you owe them an apology!”
With Samuel protecting her, Sarah wasn’t afraid of me at all.
*Samuel, look at her. She’s unreasonable. I’m just stating the facts, and she’s attacking me like this.”
As she spoke, Sarati’s eyes reddened, and tears began to fall.
Samuel, heartbroken, moved to push me again.
This time, as he got closer, Luke took him down to the ground with one swift move.
Seeing Samuel fall in such a pitiful manner, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
“He had it coming. This will teach him a
lesson.”
“Look at Mia, not only does she put in the effort, but she also takes care of Ella. Samuel spends his days partying, but she never cor What right does he have to treat Mia this way?”
“Serves him right, it makes me so mad. If Mia hadn’t taken over his mom’s position, it would have been his mom standing here now!
heartless!”
