I Became A Millionaire And Hid It From My Evil Stepmom

hi everyone i'm bree i'm 16. my mom left me when i was just a baby i never knew her my dad says she couldn't handle the responsibility of raising a child because she was too young one morning she went out to the grocery store and never came back my grandmother raised me my dad would visit us often but it was my grandmother who was my real parent the time i lived with her were the best years of my life when i was 12 my dad remarried his new wife had a daughter the same age my dad took me to their house to meet them i stayed there for one night his new wife completely ignored me her daughter sadie was only interested in her phone it was pretty obvious that neither of them liked me but i didn't care because i thought i would never have to live with them but unfortunately when my grandmother passed away last year i had to move in with them my stepmother started treating me badly from day one she made me do all the housework i even had to clean sadie's room she was incredibly mean to me for example during breakfast she'd say aren't you full yet you've had enough to eat go take out the trash i was really unhappy but i didn't tell my dad about it so as not to upset him he was working in the finance department of a big real estate developer the finance manager transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars into his personal account my dad didn't know anything about it but he got arrested anyway he didn't have the money to hire a good lawyer so he ended up going to jail my life wasn't going great to begin with and when my dad went to jail things got even worse one day my stepmother told me we are broke because of your father you need to quit school and start working if you want to live here you need to bring in money so i had to drop out of school of course this rule did not apply to my stepmother's daughter sadie kept going to school but i had to get a job at a call center since i had to deal with one stressful event after another i got acne all over my face i couldn't recognize myself in the mirror the people i worked with looked at me with pity there was this guy i liked one day i heard him mocking me saying this girl shouldn't leave the house she has no right to make the rest of us uncomfortable i was really devastated i couldn't sleep that night i cried for a long time i wanted to go to a dermatologist but i couldn't afford to i was giving all the money i earned to my stepmother as soon as i got it my acne was getting worse every day i thought i should at least try some natural remedies there were so many formulas for anti-acne face masks online i picked one that used ingredients i could easily find i just needed almond oil apple cider vinegar and honey i borrowed money from a friend to buy these that night i made a mixture and put it on but when i washed my face in the morning i was disappointed to see it hadn't worked at all my grandmother would always say nature has a cure for everything i began reading everything i could find about natural treatments for acne for example do you know why many formulas use apple cider vinegar because vinegar is very effective against bacteria and fungi as i learned more i started to believe i could develop my own formula i was testing new face masks on myself all the time although some of them were somewhat effective i still had acne one day as i was doing research i came across some information about a plant i'd never heard of women in rural areas used this plant to regulate their hormones during pregnancy i thought it could work because one of the main causes of acne is hormones i looked all over the city and i found the dried leaves of this plant in a little shop that evening i prepared a new face mask using the leaves and applied it when i woke up in the morning i ran to the bathroom to wash my face when i removed the mask i was amazed my acne was completely gone there was someone else in the mirror i don't usually cry much but that morning i bawled my eyes out from happiness everyone at work was surprised they asked me how i did it but i didn't tell them my secret i had a friend who had an acne problem like me i had brought the mixture for her to try i told her put this on your face tonight before you go to sleep let's see if it works for you next morning i woke up because my phone was ringing my friend was video calling me she was so excited there's not one spot left on my face bree this is the magic cure you can become a millionaire selling this stuff and you'll deserve every penny she said thanking me over and over again i had developed a plant-based formula that makes acne disappear after just one use i thought i really could get rich i made an instagram account i sent the link to my friend and asked for her opinion she shared my instagram account with everyone she knew she wrote this worked wonders for me get it if you have an acne problem that night i made six sales over instagram the next day i sold 13. the numbers kept growing a month later i was getting nearly a hundred orders a day people wanted even more but i couldn't produce the masks fast enough why because i could only work at night so that my stepmother and sadie wouldn't find out during the day i was still working at the call center i was making a ton of money i was hiding it all my room because i had nowhere else to keep it i had a teddy bear that i got from my ex as a birthday present i took out all the stuffing and filled it with money then i neatly sewed it back the money kept coming in i bought another teddy bear i stuffed it with money just like the other one i kept buying more and more and ended up with 13 teddy bears in my room i had to find another hiding place soon because having that many teddy bears didn't look normal after a while my worst fear came true my stepmother called me while i was at work i picked up the phone what is this money inside a teddy bear is that yours she asked i was caught by surprise so i said something ridiculous my stepmother said angrily my friend's son had an appendectomy sadie saw all these teddy bears in your room we thought we could bring one of them to the boy as a gift while he was playing he realized it was full of money whose money is this you'll have to explain this to me tonight i was in such a panic i ran out of work and jumped into a cab i was going home if my stepmother was still at the hospital i could move the money somewhere safe before she got back good plan but where would i take it i had an idea there was someone i could ask for help i called the friend who was so grateful to me for treating her acne and was thanking me every chance she got i told her briefly about what was happening i'll do whatever you want i'd be so happy to help you she said she paused for a moment and screamed i have a great idea i have to speak with my dad right now i was so relieved when i got home because no one was there 15 minutes later my friend and her dad arrived in a huge rv we carried the teddy bears to the rv together my friend's dad said thanks to you my daughter got her life back we're so grateful to you we went to an rv park all the way across the city my friend and her dad got in a cab and went home yes this was my friend's idea i was going to live in their rv for a while i was feeling really good about myself because from now on i could do whatever i wanted i got rid of my old phone so that my stepmother wouldn't be able to reach me and got a new one i had something important i had to do i searched online for a lawyer and found one i met him in his office the next day i ended up hiring him to look into my dad's case my stepmother wouldn't tell me where my father was being detained so that i wouldn't be able to visit him so first off the lawyer had to find out where my dad was then i went and bought a whole bunch of the ingredients i used to make the acne mask i was going to convert the rv into a small lab meanwhile the lawyer called he found out which facility my dad was kept in if you want to visit him i can come and pick you up in an hour he said i'd missed my dad so much the second i saw him in his prison clothes i started crying the lawyer left us alone i told my dad everything he was so sad to hear what i'd gone through he said your stepmother never comes to visit me i was so worried about you because i had no way of knowing how you were i'm going to divorce her as soon as i leave this place and i'll be a better father to you and he hugged me then we talked to the lawyer he said that there wasn't enough evidence to keep my father in jail our lawyer turned out to be really good he quickly found many witnesses to prove that my dad was innocent after he got out of prison my dad and i lived in the rv for a while i was really rich now we bought a three-story house i turned the entire top floor into a lab i hired four people sorry five because my friend who helped me out is now working with me as well we can now produce 800 acne masks per day my dad took some time to get himself together and then went to meet my stepmother she started crying saying i always loved brie so much bring her back home we can be the happiest family in the world my dad said that wasn't an option anymore and that he was going to file for divorce as soon as possible she kept saying i peck you please give me a chance i missed you and bree so much lying to his face my dad yelled enough how dumb do you think we are you're only after bree's money and left her right there my stepmother is still texting my dad several times a day but thankfully my dad finally saw her true self he's not buying her cheap lies anymore if you liked my story please don't forget to like this video thanks so much for listening to me see you you
