Chapter 4: The First Fortune

작가: Mountain Top
About half a month later, while I was working in the school cafeteria, I suddenly spotted Beatrice.

"Why are you working in the cafeteria?" Beatrice looked at me with some disdain.

I wasn't surprised that she could enter our school, considering we were twins and looked very alike. While I was occupied with my tasks, I responded casually, "Do you have a problem with me having this job?"

Beatrice snorted, "Such a disgrace. Finish up and meet me at the West Gate."

After that, she left with her boyfriend, who kept glancing at passing female students.

I knew why she wanted to meet me; it was probably about money. But I had no intention of giving her any. I had calculated it all out: with three part-time jobs now and some more during the winter break, I could save up enough for my sophomore year's tuition and living expenses. Then, I would work during the summer break to cover my junior year, and by the time I reached senior year, I could focus on internships.

After finishing work, I e

  • Tranquility   Chapter 12: Do You Want Another Chance?

    I felt a sense of relief after settling my score with my enemy. It was at that point that Kelly reached out to me and scheduled a meeting at a pawnshop.I was grateful to Kelly because without her initial investment of six thousand dollars, my revenge plan wouldn't have been able to progress. I would still be struggling to save money for tuition by working part-time.However, I was puzzled about why she wanted to meet me at a pawnshop. Kelly was a wealthy heiress, so what would bring her to a pawnshop?The pawnshop we met at was quite different from what I had in mind. It was located deep in an alley, well-lit, and looked no different from the trendy bubble tea shops that young girls frequented."Hello... It's you," a round-faced girl with twin ponytails behind the counter greeted me, smiling."Do... do you know me?" I asked, feeling an odd sense of familiarity when looking at her."It seems like you haven't remembered yet. Wait a moment," she replied and poured me a cup of tea.

  • Tranquility   Chapter 11: Dramas

    That evening, Beatrice posted another lengthy essay, condemning me as selfish and profit-driven.The angered online users became even more furious, with some going as far as threatening to expose my personal information and tarnish my reputation at my university.But now, the moment had arrived. I utilized my verified social media account, identifying myself as the head of the Operations Department at West Light Media, to share two recorded audio clips.In the first recording, Beatrice's voice was not very clear but audible enough."I've checked. There are many affluent individuals here who are interested in college girls. Whoever introduces them earns two thousand dollars each time."If she had obediently followed our parents' advice and worked to support me, things wouldn't have escalated to this point today. She owes me all of this."The second recording featured Beatrice's voice very clearly."I want you to transfer all the earnings we've made with Shawn during this time to

  • Tranquility   Chapter 10: Seizing the Opportunity

    The pace at which internet trends shift was incredibly fast.Once Beatrice and Shawn had promoted their affectionate daily life for a period, the excitement slowly faded away.They didn't have many other options because, in reality, both of them only had superficial skills. It's like the saying goes, “When you ride the wave of the current trends, even the unlikely can succeed." However, that kind of success wouldn't last long.Nevertheless, during this time, they earned quite a lot."Shawn, I like this car~" Beatrice pointed to a car on her phone, playfully asking Shawn to buy it for her.Shawn's gaze evaded her, and he chuckled, "Dear, this..."It was only at this moment that Beatrice realized something was wrong. After some pressing questions, Shawn reluctantly told her the truth."While I did sign a contract with the company, they take a significant portion of my earnings. Additionally, the company provides a separate payment for essential expenses such as food, clothing, hou

    However, the events that happened during this time did have an impact on me. Someone exposed me on the school's confession wall, and even the photos of my parents causing a scene at Beatrice's school, with me coldly watching on the side."She’s so heartless.""Her parents are almost driven crazy by her sister, yet she can still watch their conflict with such indifference.""Yeah, being in the same family with her must be pitiful."The confession wall was filled with criticism and gossip about me, but I paid no attention. However, my roommate couldn't stand seeing me being treated unfairly and engaged in verbal battles with others.“You mentioned that she's observing their conflict coldly, but have you thought about the fact that she worked throughout the summer to pay for her tuition and is currently balancing three jobs to support herself? What did her parent do to help her in this situation?"Would you have called Lily heartless if you had parents like her who forced you to giv

  • Tranquility   Chapter 8: Go Home

    Although there was guidance from the videographer, Shawn still took the entire afternoon to finish the shoot.When we wrapped up, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.I also let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the most important part of my plan had gone smoothly up to that point.The ghost painter beside us knew what Shawn was going to paint as soon as Shawn made the first brushstroke. He had already finished the painting before Shawn completed the video shoot.I paid the ghost painter his fee, and he left first. However, it was essential for Shawn to complete his painting and capture the moment when he added the final stroke to the already-finished artwork.Once the videographer recorded the finished artwork, we wrapped up, awaiting the video editing.During the shoot, Shawn attempted to strike up a conversation with Kelly several times.However, Kelly couldn't stand his ugly paintings and left early."Lily, what does Miss Carter think about my artwork?" Shawn appeared eage

  • Tranquility   Chapter 7: The Truth

    A few days later, I went to look for Shawn again. "The folk singer gave up this opportunity, and your audition results were impressive. I've recommended you to the company. Do you think you can handle it?" Shawn appeared as if he had received an unexpected stroke of luck. After a brief pause, he nodded enthusiastically and said, "I'm up for it, Miss Lily. Thanks a lot."Unconsciously, he started addressing me as Miss Lily. I presented him with a contract. "Well then, congratulations on joining West Light Media." Shawn still had a trace of rationality left. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Miss Lily, can I take this long contract back to review before signing?" I gave him a professional yet distant smile. "Shawn, do you not trust our company or the Carter Group? If that's the case, there's no need for us to cooperate." Shawn saw that I was about to leave and quickly grabbed onto the contract. "No, no, no. I have complete trust in the company. I'll sign it right now." W
