Ria Zhang and Lulu went to the ATM machine to withdraw money from the dummy back account set up by the hacker. Lulu's eyes went wide as her young miss stuffed the money into a drawstring bag. Lots of paper bills!

"Y-Young Miss, where did you get—?" so much money, she asked, her hands were trembling as she looked left and right.

"I borrowed from a loan shark," Ria Zhang told Lulu before putting the bag on her shoulder.

"You borrowed from a loan shark?" Lulu's voice went a notch higher as her face went pale. Her young miss did that? They were destined to be doomed.

Ria Zhang started walking. "Yup so you better shut your mouth or they'll go after the two of us," she said nonchalantly.

"But Young Miss, we're going to lose our limbs if we can't pay," she said, following behind Ria Zhang. "We better tell Young Master —"

Ria Zhang stopped walking but didn't look around. "If you want to die, then go. I don't keep traitors around me. Remember that."

Lulu opened her mouth to speak but no sound came out. She of all people knew how Sierra Co behaved in the past. However, she really can't stand her young miss go down the dark abyss. Hence, she made a decision.

After withdrawing the money, Ria Zhang and Lulu went to the supermarket to buy groceries. Afterwards, she sent Lulu to another branch of CoTouchMe to buy the scar removal cream.

At their apartment, Ria Zhang walked inside the bathroom, stripping her clothes one by one. As her eyes stared on the mirror, the scratches on her arms were glaring. She soaked in the bathtub for thirty minutes before coming out. With only a towel covering her body, Ria Zhang went to the bathroom sink. The scratches marred the flawless skin of the body.

What a shame, really. Getting them and not even winning. She took a deep breath before her right hand reached for the small jar of the scar removal cream. She was praying deeply that it was effective. Else, she can't wear sleeveless clothes anymore.

While applying the cream to her wounds, Ria Zhang didn't know that she would experience the first betrayal since coming to this world.

"Lulu, what is it?"

"Y-Young Master, it's about the Young Miss," she informed Stanley Co.

Stanley Co, on the other side of the phone, knitted his eyebrows. What did his wayward sister do this time?

"What did she do?" he asked, clenching his jaw.

Lulu glanced at the door before speaking. "Young Miss borrowed from the loan sharks, Young Master."

"What?!"

"Young Miss withdrew a lot of money earlier. I'm afraid —" she paused. We're going to lose our limbs. She added in silence.

The line was cut off abruptly.

Lulu sighed. I'm sorry, Young Miss. I can stand if you become angry with me. But I can't just stand on the side and not do anything, she thought.

Realization dawned on her. The bile rose towards her mouth and it tasted bitter. Of all the people who can betray Sierra Co, it was the person closest to her when she went to this world? Unexpected but still possible.

"B-Brother!" Ria Zhang walked towards him. Her steps were calculated. "What are you doing here?"

Stanley Co stared at her. The disappointment cannot be hidden. "What did you do? Borrowing from loan sharks?!"

Ria Zhang flinched when Stanley Co raised his voice. She lowered her head. "I'm sorry." She was indeed sorry that her brother knew about it.

"You're sorry?" He stood up. "Why do you always do something outrageous?"

"I need money, okay?"

Stanley Co nodded. "Alright. You need money so you went to the loan sharks? Do you even think?"

Ria Zhang remained silent, slightly raising her head towards Lulu. Good. Just good. Just wait until her brother leave, she will deal with that loose talk. Stanley Co noticed his sister's gaze. Full of vengeance. Sure enough, she was still the same bratty sister he has.

"You better keep your hands to yourself. If something happens to Lulu, I'll inform grandfather about it and you can forget coming back to the Co Family!"

"Young Master!"

"Brother!"

At that time, two voices were heard.

Ria Zhang looked at her brother incredulously. She clenched her fists. "She's my maid. She should be loyal to me. Why is she more loyal to you?"

"And watch you do something stupid?" Stanley Co glared at his sister. "I thought you've changed. I was almost fooled." With that, he turned towards the door and went out of the apartment, banging the door.

"Y-Young Miss" Lulu stared at Ria Zhang.

Ria Zhang raised her hand, looking at her maid. "Don't. Very well, then. My brother warned me so rest assured, I will not do anything to you."

She turned around and went to her room. Closing the door, she slid down the floor. Hugging her knees, she pressed her lips. She cannot stay. What she wanted was her own person who has the absolute loyalty. Someone who was not afraid of death. If that's the case, she needed to leave.
