Chapter 1

"Mr. Brewer, are you alright?"A gentle female voice sounded in my ear.My head was pounding, and the world around me slowly came into focus. I wasn't on my couch at home, but in a room decorated with minimalist luxury. A woman in a sharp business suit stood before me. Her nameplate read, "Janine Harmon, Client Director.""W-Where am I? Where's Lara?"I remembered clutching that billion-dollar black card as I rushed home, buzzing with excitement.My wife, Lara Crawford, had lit up the moment she saw it. She threw her arms around me. Then, she poured me a glass of water and said softly, "Honey, you're amazing. Have some water, and let's plan this out."And then, I didn't remember anything after that.Ms. Harmon handed me a glass of warm water and gestured toward the large screen on the wall.The screen was split in two. On the left, there were Lara and Adrian Schmitt, her best friend. They were beaming radiantly at their phone camera.The title of the live stream was glaringl

When Lara had first received the paper cranes, she'd cried her eyes out, saying it was the most thoughtful gift she'd ever gotten.Now, she held it up to the camera with disdain."Guys, look. This was what my loser ex-husband gave me. A bunch of scrap paper, and he thought that would be enough to keep me?"She flicked her wrist. "Trash like this belongs in the garbage."With a clatter, the paper cranes I'd folded with my own hands hit the floor. She crushed them under her high heels.And my world shattered right along with them."Lara, don't get worked up over someone like Russell. He's not worth it."Adrian eagerly handed her a glass of champagne. The camera happened to catch a close-up of the new gold watch on his wrist, the very same 12.5-million-dollar purchase that had just scrolled across the bank's live stream.Lara took the glass and sipped, the disgust on her face instantly melting into pleasure."You're right. Why waste energy on a broke loser? Starting today, the wo

"You can forget about getting any of my money. I found this card, so it has nothing to do with you."I let out an exasperated laugh at how shamelessly entitled Lara sounded."Lara, aren't you afraid of karma?""Karma?" She laughed like I'd just told the joke of the century, cackling along with Adrian."Karma is me with a billion dollars, and you still being a bottom-feeder stuck riding the subway and eating instant noodles! Oh, and I forgot to tell you that my mom is going to call your parents later and tell them to keep you in line."So, stop bothering me. Anyway, I'm busy shopping. I don't have time to waste on a loser like you."The line went dead, and my heart turned to ice.True to her word, five minutes later, Lara's live stream featured a video call with her mother, Lucinda Garza.Lucinda's face, always impeccably made up, was now plastered with a smile that was both fawning and cruel."My darling daughter, I always knew you were destined for greatness. Don't you worry.

The moment Lara finished speaking, a user with the ID "GoldDiggerCure" instantly dropped a dozen lavish virtual gifts, rocketing to the top of the leaderboard.Then, he posted a message in the public chat."Keep the money and convert it into slaps instead. Use them to wake this delusional woman up."The live stream went dead silent for a single beat, then exploded.Lara's face cycled through shades of pale and red. But within seconds, she was swept away by an overwhelming surge of vanity.She convinced herself the guy was just jealous."One million dollars? Please, that's just chump change."She had Adrian jot down the user's info, then announced her most outrageous decision yet."Guys, shopping malls are so yesterday. I'm buying the city's landmark—Skyline Tower. I want everyone in this city to know who the real queen is."The live stream hit peak frenzy in that moment.Skyline Tower was the most expensive commercial property in the city, valued at over five billion dollars.

Chapter 5

The sales office at Skyline Tower had gone so quiet that one could hear one's own heartbeat.Lara wore a confident smile as she waited for the moment the POS machine would print out the receipt. She'd even already planned the victory speech she would deliver later.However, the satisfying beep never came. Instead, a sharp, jarring alarm cut through the silence.Two bright red words flashed across the POS screen."Transaction Failed."The air seemed to freeze, and Lara's smile locked in place."What's going on? Run it again!" she shrieked, grabbing the POS machine like she wanted to crush it with her bare hands.The sales manager tried again with a perfectly innocent look on his face, but the result was still the same.The words "Insufficient Balance" on the screen hit Lara like a sharp slap across the face."Impossible!" She completely lost it, shaking her head like a woman possessed. "There's a billion dollars on this card. How can it be insufficient? Your machine is broken—i

"It was Russell! That loser set me up! The card is his. He planned all of this!" Lara screamed hysterically, her eyes wild. "Arrest him! Not me!"Adrian snapped out of his daze and immediately backed her up. "Yeah! Russell's the one behind this. We're victims too."They were both trying to pin everything on me.The camera lens immediately began scanning the crowd for me."Who's Russell?""Is the cardholder here?"The sea of people parted.I stepped forward calmly, dressed in a well-fitted suit. I stood in stark contrast to them in all their disheveled misery.Every camera in the room turned toward me.I didn't even glance at Lara, sprawled on the floor. Instead, I walked straight toward the media."Hello, everyone. I'm Russell Brewer."My voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly through countless microphones.Lara's eyes went wide, like she'd just seen a ghost. "A-Aren't you supposed to—"I cut her off with a cold glance. Then, I pulled out my phone and pressed play.A c

"It's too late. Our marriage ended the moment you crushed those paper cranes," I said.Just then, a man in a Versace suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in, flanked by several bodyguards. He went straight for Adrian."Hello, I'm the attorney representing 'GoldDiggerCure.'His voice was calm, but it carried an undeniable weight. He handed a legal notice to Adrian, who stood there completely stunned."My client followed the rules of your live stream and donated to become the top spender. Based on your publicly made promise during the stream to give the top spender one million dollars in cash back, we are now demanding immediate payment. Otherwise, we will be suing you for online fraud."Adrian's face went white as a sheet.One million dollars? Right now, he couldn't even scrape together 100 dollars.He looked to Lara for help, but she could barely save herself.At the edge of the crowd, Lucinda let out a shriek at the sight and tried to push her way forward, only to be stopped by

My gaze fell on the card.Then, I slowly raised my head and looked toward Lara, whose face had turned ashen in the crowd.She had drugged me, betrayed me, and humiliated me, all for the sake of that fake card.And now, I possessed a real one. Meanwhile, she was going to plummet into an abyss of irredeemable suffering because of her own greed and stupidity.Lara was led away by the police. When she passed by me, she mustered all her strength and lunged at me."Russell, you liar! You set me up!"Her eyes were bloodshot, filled with venomous hatred."You knew everything from the start. You just wanted to watch me make a fool of myself. You're completely heartless!"I looked at her calmly."Heartless? Am I more heartless than you drugging me, stealing the card I thought would bring you happiness, and then going live to call me a loser? "Am I more heartless than you stomping on the paper cranes I folded for you in front of hundreds and thousands of people? Am I more heartless tha

The board of directors was extremely pleased with the outcome and held high expectations for me."Mr. Brewer, your first task will be to plan the next marketing campaign. There's no budget cap."I gazed out at the bustling street below, a flood of emotions washing over me.Just a day ago, I was still a programmer stressing over a few thousand dollars in mortgage payments. A day later, I found myself in a high position, holding resources that countless people could only dream of.It all felt like a dream, one that began with betrayal and humiliation but ended with a new beginning.My phone rang. It was an unknown number.I answered, and a timid voice came through on the other end."I-Is this Mr. Russell Brewer? I'm Lara's sister, Lynette Crawford."I was silent for a moment before asking, "Why are you calling?""My parents begged me to call you," Lynette answered tearfully. "Please have some mercy and let Lara go. She knows she was wrong, really! As long as you drop the charges

Chapter 10

The role of marketing director turned out to be more demanding and complex than I'd imagined. But with every challenge, I felt an incredible sense of fulfillment.I began studying finance, management, and how to strategize and orchestrate plans. I was no longer the guy who just buried his head in code all day. Instead, I started to transform and grow.Occasionally, I'd come across follow-up reports about Lara's case tucked away in the corners of the newspaper.She and Adrian, convicted on multiple charges, were sentenced to 15 years in prison along with hefty fines. Lucinda was also sentenced to one year for defamation.All their assets, including the apartment I'd paid the down payment for and had both our names on, were seized and auctioned off by the court to cover the compensation.But that amount was merely a drop in the bucket compared to the enormous debts they owed.I heard that Lara had suffered several mental breakdowns in prison. She couldn't come to terms with the dra
