At that moment, the orphanage director arrived with the wealthy man from the capital. The rich man looked pleased to see me crying in my parents' photo. He thought I was sentimental and immediately decided to adopt me.
My brother gave me a malicious smile. "Bro, I envy you. You're going to have a rich dad and a pretty sister!"
Then, he turned to Carmen and said, "Hey, my brother will be family now. You have to take good care of him!"
He emphasized the word "care" with a sinister undertone. Carmen ignored him, her eyes on me filled with amusement. My brother gave me one last look, a look of someone seeing a dead man, then left with the nouveau riche without looking back. Watching their backs, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother, congratulations on taking my place in hell.
In my past life, while my younger brother was being tortured and crippled by Carmen Sherman, I was soaring to fame in the entertainment industry with the help of wealthy benefactors. I even starred in a blockbuster movie that grossed billions, making me a celebrated movie star.
