Chapter 4

The rest flushed in embarrassment, but they couldn't find the words to retort.

In fact, some sly classmates had already begun to butter them up.

"Shayla, I knew you'd be successful one day. I can't believe you're lucky enough to win 50 million dollars!"

"Don't you forget us!"

"That's right, remember to look out for us in the future!"

Although they knew that Shayla's words were unpleasant, she made sense. Even if they had a great job and a lifetime of hard work, it would still be nearly impossible for anyone there to earn 50 million dollars.

Someone had even started undermining me and praising her. "Shayla's right. So, what if Bella got an offer from a Global 500 company? She'll still be working hard for someone else until the end of her life. How can she compare to Shayla?"

My lips curved. Truth be told, this company offered excellent benefits and perks to its employees.

In her past life, Shayla spiraled into despair because she attempted to seduce her superior immediately after joining the company. The incident became known throughout the entire company, which was why many colleagues made things difficult for her.

Finally, we finished the meal, so it was time for the main event of the day.

With a final touch to her makeup, Shayla smoothed her exquisite dress and stepped onto the stage. At the same time, more than a dozen influencers suddenly came in with their cameras pointing at the stage. It seemed she had made preparations in advance.

Shayla gave them a nod in greeting. Then, she took out the lottery ticket from her bag.

She glanced at the cameras and declared smugly, "Everyone, I just graduated from university. However, I won 50 million dollars in the lottery, so I'll be financially free from now and can travel the world without having to work."

Then, she mocked, "As for you workhorses, you'll grind away at some company, working for somebody else. You'll get a low salary and get trampled all over at work, losing your dignity and repeating your same routine until you die."

Then, she stopped and gave me a pointed look.

Hearing that, the netizens in the livestream began cursing her, but she didn't care.

Suddenly, she pointed at me and instructed bossily, "Bella, the lottery shop I bought this from is right next door. Go get the owner and have him come here personally, so I can cash in my winnings."

I remained silent, so Aaron stood out and chided me impatiently, "Bella, are you deaf? Make a move! Shay's asking you to go because she trusts you.

"With your current condition, you're not even fit to be her servant. You should feel grateful that she wants you to do this. If you serve her well, she might even consider sparing you some scraps."

Some classmates couldn't take it any longer and began whispering among themselves.

"Shayla doesn't deserve this. She probably wouldn't be able to keep the money for long."

"As Bella's best friend, she ended up stealing Bella's boyfriend, and now she has the nerve to boss Bella around? Who does she think she is?"

As I remained indifferent, Shayla warned viciously, "Bella, you should know your place. With our current disparity in wealth, I can skin you alive in no time."

I merely glanced at the time coldly before saying, "Let's wait another five minutes."

Not knowing what I was playing at, Shayla snorted icily and replied, "Sure, we'll wait for five minutes then. Even if we wait for 50 minutes, it wouldn't change the fact that I won 50 million dollars."

I snorted derisively. We would see about that.

The words had barely left her mouth when a woman burst into the restaurant. She pointed a furious finger at Shayla on stage and shouted, "Are you insane, girl? I'm the one who won the lottery!"
