After my roommates found out I was the daughter of the richest man in the country, their attitudes toward me changed.

Every month when my dad transferred me a hundred thousand dollars for living expenses, my roommate would make snide remarks.

"Why does a girl need so much money?"

"The company will end up in your brother's hands anyway. With how recklessly you spend now, don't be surprised when they kick you out of the family!"

As everyone knew, my dad only had one daughter---me.

When she demanded I hand over my allowance yet again, I finally snapped:

"Are you insane? I'll spend my money however I want. It's none of your business!"

Who knew my roommate would smirk with contempt. "Of course I can tell you what to do. After all, I'm pregnant with your dad's child. By family standing, you should obey me!"

But my dad had a testicular removal surgery two years ago.

How could she possibly be pregnant with his child?!

The hundred thousand dollars in living expenses had just hit my account, and I went straight to the boutique to buy their limited edition handbag.

I was in a pretty good mood until I got back to the dorm and heard my roommate Yasmin's sarcastic voice.

"Oh, Sophia's back. What nice things did you buy today?"

Ever since finding out I was the daughter of the richest man in the country, Yasmin's attitude toward me had completely changed.

She constantly took the lead in isolating and ostracizing me.

When I went to the cafeteria to eat, she would deliberately start trouble.

"How can the daughter of the richest man sit and eat with us commoners!"

When I returned to the dorm to rest, she would force the other roommates to act like servants.

"Don't you guys have any sense? The princess is back. Everyone better serve her carefully!"

At first, I would try to explain, but every time Yasmin would jump out to sabotage me.

Over time, everyone avoided me like the plague.

Only Yasmin, the instigator of it all, put on the act of being my savior.

"See? I'm the only one who can tolerate your bad temper."

But I couldn't stand her petty behavior.

I ignored her and walked straight past.

To my surprise, Yasmin snatched the bag from my hand and examined it carefully.

"So this is what a designer bag looks like. The texture really is different."

Seeing the greedy look on her face, I said irritably, "Give it back!"

"You already have so many bags. You don't need this one. Why don't you just give it to me?"

Before, I just thought Yasmin had no sense of boundaries.

Now I realized she not only had no boundaries, but was also incredibly shameless.

"If you want one, buy it yourself. Why should I give you my stuff!"

I snatched it back from her hands.

Yasmin's expression darkened frighteningly. She glared at me. "Does having money make you so great? Don't think that just because you have some money you can insult people however you want!"

Her eyes suddenly reddened, and she collapsed on the desk crying.

I was completely bewildered when my roommates came back from outside.

They must have heard what was just said, because they looked at me disapprovingly. "Sophia, we know your family is rich, but you can't use your wealth to trample on others' dignity."

I almost laughed from anger.

"She didn't want to pay a cent and tried to take my bag. What, should I have gotten on my knees to thank her?"

I pulled out the recording from earlier and exposed Yasmin's true face.

The roommates realized they'd been deceived and immediately distanced themselves from her.

After being set up by her so many times, I'd finally won one back.

Seeing her lie exposed, Yasmin dropped the act.

"Was I wrong? Can you even use all those bags? I was helping you lighten your load!"

"No need to worry about me. If I can't use them all, I can sell them for charity. Either way, I'm not giving them to you!"

Yasmin's face turned livid with rage. She couldn't say a word.

After suffering in silence for so long, it felt great to finally see her lose.

After this incident, I figured she wouldn't dare provoke me again!
