He frowned.
“You’ve got so many brothers, why would you need my protection?”
After saying that, he pretended to slam the door, and I hurriedly stopped him.

This time, no matter how much I threw a tantrum, he just tossed me out.
Trembling, I returned home. The moment I stepped inside, I saw the eldest brother’s chilling grin.
“Betty, where’ve you been?”
I shook my head frantically.
“Nowhere… nowhere.”
He eyed me suspiciously, then waved his hand dismissively.
“Go back. Something more fun’s waiting for you tonight.”

Just as they were about to leave, Paul leaned against the car, arms crossed
-the same Paul who’d kicked me out earlier.
“Taking Betty camping this late?”
The eldest brother forced calm into his voice.
“None of your business. Get lost.”
My heart froze, terrified Paul might actually leave.

Paul smirked coldly at the eldest brother.
“Take me along. Never tried nighttime camping.”
The eldest brother cursed him as crazy and drove off.
Hopeless, I cried myself dry inside the sack.
“Bro, this can’t go on. Katherine can’t live like a rat forever.”
The eldest brother blew smoke in my face, smug.
“Relax. These days’ll end soon.”
Then, like always, he strung me up and tortured me.

Katherine threw herself into the eldest brother’s arms, shooting me a look of pure triumph.
“Don’t worry. I’ll take you inside.”
Suddenly, the vast abandoned factory held only me.
Creak~ creak~ creak~
The noise swelled. Too scared to scream, I froze.
“Betty, it’s me.”
He anticipated my reaction, clamping a hand over my mouth.

He glanced back at the closing pursuers, cursed, then hoisted me onto his back.
Time blurred. Paul’s breaths grew ragged.

“Apologies for the delay, young master.

“Now that you’re awake, get lost.”
He tossed me a USB drive.
“This contains videos of them mistreating you. Give it to Mrs. Hernandez -she’ll handle it.”
I took the USB drive and bowed sincerely to him.

“Sleepy, you don’t remember what happened last night, right?”
Clutching the USB drive, I gave them an innocent look.
“I don’t remember.”
They instantly sighed in relief.
“Good. Go rest in your room. Tonight we’ll take you somewhere fun.”

I nodded vaguely before darting to my room to hide the USB drive.
Now wasn’t the time to expose them.
Last night I’d overheard them: Mom returns tomorrow–their perfect moment to strike.
I’d never allow threats near Mom.
If they wanted to play games? I’d play along!
