Chapter 9 " Is that clear enough ? Real enough for you ? " I asked the stunned crowd . The room erupted in chaos again . " So all these receipts are sure for things Kyra bought for Rylan ? And he sold everything ?! " someone exclaimed in disbelief . " I'm shocked , " a girl from my class said . " Isn't Kyra from a regular family ? How does she have this kind of money ? And wasn't Rylan supposed to be the victim here ? How did he become the one living off others ?! " With a cold laugh , I explained , " My family is ordinary , but I earn money myself . While you were all studying and partying , I was juggling three part - time jobs , running around constantly . " The truth was that Rylan never had much earning potential , but I never expected him to support me . I even felt sorry for him , thinking that his willingness to put his money in my care was a sign of his trust in me . Just last week , the money he had saved was still sitting untouched in our joint account . Since the beginning of the semester , he had barely spent anything on me , always with the perfect excuse : " All my money is with you - what more do you want from me ? " But I never imagined his true intentions . All he had done wasn't giving me security and showing me our future . He was emotionally manipulating me , knowing that if we broke up , he would demand all that money back . How is that fair ? Suddenly regaining his composure , Rylan quickly threw his phone away . " No ! That's not my phone ! I didn't do it ! I never resold your gifts ! " Yet my face remained as cold as ice while I delivered the final blow . " If it were just about reselling gifts , I might only call you greedy . But Rylan , do you dare reveal your true relationship with her ? " I pointed at his supposed sister . With my words , the room suddenly fell into complete silence as someone whispered , " What does she mean ? There's another twist ? Isn't she Rylan's sister ? What other relationship could they have ? " Under the confused gazes of everyone , I pulled out another stack of documents from my bag . " You're not Rylan's sister at all . Your name is Lin Yue . You two have been dating since high school . Later , Rylan got into university while you didn't , but you wanted to be with him , so you followed him to this city . " Staring directly at the girl , I continued , " Rylan's family couldn't afford his education , so you've been working every day to support him all these years . What kind of spell did he cast on you to make you willingly play the role of his sister without any official status ? " Turning back to Rylan with contempt , I added , " You're quite the operator , aren't you ? Keeping one girl outside school as your maid and money - maker , while having another as your personal ATM inside school . Who's really living off others ? Who's the gold - digger ? Who's the materialistic one ? Isn't it obvious now ? " Everyone in the room was completely stunned by my revelation . " So when Rylan had the accident , his parents didn't come because they live too far away ? " someone asked , trying to make sense of it all . Another person concluded , " His parents don't support / him , so he makes this girl earn money for him instead ? " Opening my eyes wide , I addressed Rylan directly , " You kept telling me we'd be together after graduation . You promised me a grand wedding . You claimed all that saved money was for our future . " " What I didn't know was that you were already legally married . You two got your marriage certificate last year ! Rylan , your relationship with me was entirely about my money . Your emotional manipulation , sacrificing small amounts to gain much more - you played it masterfully . " " No , that's not true !! " Rylan threw his head back , his voice piercing . " Yes , I'm married , but I wanted to marry you too … I never expected you to treat me this way just because I had an accident , which is why I suggested breaking up . I loved you ! "
