To pay for my grandma's medical treatment, I took a DNA test and went to my wealthy birth parents. After I explained why I came, I asked them to lend me 150 thousand dollars. I even wrote an IOU and promised to pay it back within two years. My father, wearing a gold Rolex, looked troubled. "It would've been nothing," he said, "but the company ran into serious trouble lately. We're about to go bankrupt." My mother, dressed head to toe in luxury brands, sighed. "We owed the bank a fortune. We might end up homeless any day now." My brother sneered from the side. "You just returned and you already are asking for money. Is that all you care about?" I didn't say a word, tearing up the IOU and walking away. Later, by pure chance, I overheard the fake heiress talking to her friend. "I just told my parents to pretend they were poor to test her sincerity," she said. "I didn't expect them to be that ruthless. They really didn't give her a single cent. "Looks like their real daughter mattered less to them than one of my dogs. I spent about 150 thousand dollars just raising them." A few years later, they really went bankrupt. With nothing left, they begged me to save them.
