The sun blazed relentlessly upon Oliver Garcia as she found herself ousted from the villa, her luggage tossed out with her.

A well-dressed, high-status young woman was standing inside the villa, peering at Oliver’s sunburned face with undisguised disgust.

"Aren't you ready to leave yet?"

"I guess not. After all, from now on, you'll have to return to the island and assist your rustic parents in fishing and farming every day. Having three meals of simple pickles daily. This kind of villa, let alone living in, is probably a luxury for you to take a glance!"

Hearing this, Oliver quietly stared at this woman who she had referred to as 'mom' for seventeen years.

"I'll wait till grandma wakes up."

"Huh, my dear old lady has her own genuine granddaughter to care for. With Evelyn here, what use is the futile attempt of your fake attitude, hypocritical filial piety? Evelyn, kick this imposter out already," Jessica gestured dismissively.

"Wait a minute…" Just then, the young lady standing behind her timidly spoke up

"Big sister, I remember grandma gave you a jade pendant before. I really like that pendant. Could you let me take a photo of it, so I can find a similar one?"

The young lady had a fair skin and an innocent face, her custom-tailored outfit draped over her made her look as fragile as a willow. Especially her deer-like eyes, always slightly misty, stirred up one’s protective instincts.

This was Garcia Evelyn, the true heiress of the Garcia family, who had just been acknowledged by the family last month.

"Why do you have to find a similar one? That pendant is originally ours. Since she is no longer a part of the Garcia’s family, it only makes sense that she returns it! Not only that, we should also thoroughly inspect her luggage just in case she stole anything she isn’t supposed to. Evelyn—" Jessica ordered before being interrupted.

"Madam."

"Open her suitcase!"

"Yes."

Aunt Pamela stepped forward, while Oliver could only watch as her suitcase was opened, the items inside individually tossed onto the ground.

T-shirts and pants bought from street vendors, a few books...

"What is this?" Aunt Pamela caught sight of an old-fashioned box and looked towards Jessica.

Jessica hadn't seen the box at home either, but upon seeing it, it seemed to be used for storing valuable items, making her sneer angrily .

Indeed, a pauper will always be a pauper. How could she possibly leave without taking something?

"Open it."

"Yes, madam." Aunt Pamela didn't hesitate.

"Hey hey hey, host, did you actually take something from the Garcia's house?"

"What do you think?" Oliver smirked, replying to the voice in her mind, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

Since childhood, she always knew that Jessica didn't like her. At that time, she thought it was because of her looks, so she tried desperately hard to please Jessica.

The box was opened, filled generously with more than dozen medals.

Jessica frowned, not remembering them at all.

"What are these? Aunt Pamela, check if there is any stolen jewelry at the bottom."

Behind her, however, Evelyn’s eyes drastically narrowed after recognizing a few of the medals.

A flicker of jealousy flashed through her eyes as she looked at Oliver Garcia, but when her gaze swept over her nauseating face, Evelyn's heart settled back down.

Her deer-like eyes were filled with pity: "I never knew that my sister had won so many awards. It's a pity that she missed the college entrance exam. I wonder if she could continue studying when she goes back home."

Saying that, as if she had thought of something, she took out a card and handed it to Oliver.

"Oh, sister, this card contains the eight thousand dollar I earned from my part-time jobs. I won't take Grandma's jade pendant for nothing. Take this, it should come in handy on the island."

Jessica, standing aside, immediately frowned upon seeing this.

"Evelyn, you're just too kind-hearted. She hurt you like that and you're still thinking about her? Besides, that jade pendant initially belonged to our family, isn't it rightful that it's returned?"

"Mum, I believe that maybe...sister didn't do it on purpose. Anyway, I've forgiven her. Mum, can you forgive her too?" Evelyn's eyes were moist, softening Jessica’s heart at once.

"Alright, alright, we'll do as you say."

After speaking, she raised her head to look at Oliver, her face full of mockery once again.

"Take it. This eight thousand dollar should be enough for you to use on the island for a few months. I heard you have five brothers back home. They probably think that acknowledging you as their sister can help them get a dowry, but with your appearance..."

Jessica pursed her lips, her unsaid words were clear.

Looking at this mother-daughter duo, speaking freely and pretending to be gracious in front of her, Oliver found it extremely laughable.

Her appearance, wasn't it the result of them, a result in paying the Garcia Family's "favor"?

The red acne on her face was the result of a high fever she had had when she was much more younger years old.

At that time, both the Garcia family and Jessica told her it was an incurable disease, and she never doubted them.

It wasn't until three days ago when she was punished for "wanting to expose Evelyn" and missed the college entrance examination, nearly dying of thirst, that something called the "Metaphysics Exchange System" appeared in her mind.

She then realised that she was just a substitute for Evelyn to bear the resentment!

"No need. This jade pendant was a gift from my grandmother, I couldn't possibly give it to you. Also,"

Oliver glanced at Jessica before continuing "Your face looks depressed , and your cheekbones are turning black. You'll be plagued by illness soon. Instead of giving me thousands of dollars, you'd be better off donating it to those in need. Performing good deeds may help dispel the misfortune on yourself."

"But of course, if you commit too many wrongs, misfortune will naturally follow you. A few thousand dollars will then probably not be enough."

As soon as Oliver’s words left her mouth, Jessica immediately got angry and raised her hand to slap her. "How dare you curse me?!"

However, the next moment, Oliver reached out and effortlessly caught the Jessica's slap halfway.

Without any hesitation, she flung Jessica's hand back, causing her to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

"You, you little beast! You're completely out of line!" Jessica was incredulous.

Since Oliver was little, she had always been obedient, always doing as instructed, never defying her. To win her favor, Oliver would even kneel and crawl from the foot of the mountain to the top, all for a peace amulet.

And now, she dared to insult her? To push her?!

"Host, the life exchange has been completed, your grandmother has woken up," the system's voice echoed in her mind again.

Oliver pursed her lips, her gaze falling on the villa inside.

If there was anyone who could make her feel attached to the Garcia family, it was only her grandmother...

"Big sister, how could you treat mom like this?" Evelyn screamed supporting Jessica, her eyes were filled with blames when she looked over at Oliver.

"Heh, I almost forgot about you."

Oliver Garcia chuckled, her dark brown eyes with golden tints falling on her.

Unconsciously, Garcia Evelyn stepped back half a step in fear.

"If you slander and defame others in life, you're bound for the Eighteen Levels of Hell after death, a place where demons rip out tongues. Imagine them piling open your mouth, hooking your tongue with pincers, and tearing and tugging it out bit by bit, until....."

With a resounding "snap"...

Oliver dramatically mimicked the action of a tearing tongue.

Evelyn shuddered in fright.

By the time she regained herself from the fear, Oliver had already picked up her suitcase and turned to leave.

"Wait...Mother, Granny's jade pendant is still with her..." Garcia Evelyn hurriedly reminded.

Jessica was about to send someone after her when a servant rushed out of the mansion anxiously, "Madam, the old madam has woken up."

At the news, Jessica's expression changed instantly. Glancing at Oliver’s departing figure, she snorted, "Never mind, it's just a jade pendant. Let her have it. It's not even of high quality. If you want one Evelyn, I'll take you to buy a raw jade and have it custom-made."

But what Evelyn really wanted was whatever treasures Oliver was carrying.

She could now only watch Oliver’s retreating figure with resentment, knowing that with the old madam awake, they may not be able to send Oliver away. All she could do was nod in reluctant agreement.

"Alright, I'll listen to you Mother."

——

"Host, what are you planning to do next?" In Oliver’s mind, a pink chubby mushroom twisted and turned.

It's a mystical exchange system that just bound itself with Oliver three days ago.

As long as you use merits, you can exchange it with any mystical arts or tools of corresponding value.

Oliver had only exchanged twice in these three days.

On one occasion, she used two hundred merits to exchange for two months of life for Grandma Garcia while the other time, she used the remaining one hundred and fifty merits to exchange for the basic mystical art of fortunetelling faces.

"Of course, but first, I’ll go home." Oliver took out a piece of paper.

The number on it was supposedly left by her family.

But when Oliver dialed it, there was no answer for a long time.

Not until it was about to automatically hang up, did a deep male voice come over, "Hello, who is it?"

Oliver was silent for a moment.

"Speak up, or I'll hang up." The man on the other end seemed a bit displeased, and Oliver faintly heard someone rushing him.

"I am Oliver Garcia." Oliver spoke.

This time the silence transferred to the other end.

"Big brother, what are you doing? Hurry up, I'm starving to death, oh by the way, did you bring me a birthday present this time?" Suddenly, a playful female voice came from the other end of the phone.
