After Being Exploited by My Wealthy Parents, I Fought BackChapter 1

I was the long-lost daughter of the richest family in San Francisco.

When I found my biological parents, I thought I would finally experience the love and warmth of family. But instead, devastating news came—they had been kidnapped abroad.

Even after my parents gave their entire fortune to the kidnappers, they were still not released. The kidnappers demanded another million from me.

Every day, I received videos of my parents being tortured. My father and mother were bruised and battered, and my older brother even had one of his hands cut off. Desperate to save them, I worked tirelessly and sent money to the kidnappers, praying they would show mercy to my family.

One day, while cleaning restrooms at a high-end jewelry store, I saw them—my beloved family.

My parents were dressed in luxury brands, looking completely unscathed. They generously bought jewelry worth tens of millions for their goddaughter.

My brother, Julian, both hands perfectly intact, was smoking a cigar and boasting to his friends, "I have a long-lost idiot sister. We've been playing her like a fool."
