Even if Sebastian had heard everything, it didn't matter. Felicia asked, "Is there something you need?" Her expression was indifferent, her attitude distant. She maintained a reserved air. Sebastian noticed.

Feeling awkward, he explained, "Things have been busy at home lately, so I haven't been able to see you." He'd been busy with work and Kayla's hospital stay; Felicia seemed forgotten.

"Mm-hmm. Is there anything else?" Felicia glanced back. "I need to go. The store might close soon."

"Licia..." As she turned to leave, Sebastian called, rubbing his temples. "Tomorrow's the weekend. Come home."

Felicia hadn't been home since the engagement banquet two months prior. The shadows of the trees obscured her figure. Under the chilly moonlight, she paused, turning her head to speak before walking away without looking back. Sebastian didn't hear her. She whispered, "Where do I even belong? That's not my home..."

For thirty million dollars, Shawn lingered outside the Fuller residence all night. The deadline was noon; otherwise, Lance would cut off his fingers.

At 9:00 AM, Kayla emerged. As the Fuller family's "little princess," she had a driver. Shawn watched helplessly as her luxury car sped away.

"Fuck!" he cursed, running to catch an Uber. Kayla was headed to the mall. After over a month of recovery, she was finally out shopping with friends.

Ten minutes later, Shawn saw Kayla with several bags, effortlessly swiping her black card. Greed flared in his eyes. As she approached the restroom, he blocked her.

"Kayla, you haven't forgotten your biological brother, have you?"

Startled, Kayla recognized him instantly. He was her blood brother, and his resemblance to her pre-surgery self infuriated her.

She raised her chin. "Didn't Mom give you fifty million dollars? What do you want now?"

Shawn licked his lips. "I need thirty million urgently. You're my sister. You wouldn't let me suffer, would you?" Thirty million was nothing to Kayla.

"Yes, I have that much," she scoffed, her gaze mocking. "But I won't give it to you. Mad?"

Shawn grabbed her arm.

Seething, Kayla yelled, "Let go of me, or I'll scream!"

"Scream louder," he threatened. "If you don't give me the money, I'll tell your friends I'm your brother. Then I'll call our parents and introduce myself to your friends!"

Kayla felt murderous rage. Since her identity as a fake heiress was exposed, she'd endured mockery and witnessed Howell and Tabitha's shamelessness. This revelation would ruin her, especially with her meeting with Arnold planned for that day.
