Life Of The Wealthy 소설 & 이야기

The old feud lingered, unseen but unforgotten. Money was never truly an issue. Over the centuries, I had gathered wealth beyond any human measure, carefully moving it between banks as Britain's currencies shifted, exchanging, concealing, and multiplying it with a patience only immortality could afford. Gold, coins, assets—hidden in safes across the country, untouched and untouchable. If I chose to, I could vanish anywhere and live without ever worrying about the next meal, the next roof, the next danger. Far from the struggles of mortals, my fortune was mine alone, a silent testament to the life I had meticulously built and the independence I refused to surrender.

“Momma is taking you to a bigger place. A much better place than this. You, my darling prince, will begin to live the life of a king… as you should.” And just like that, their world had changed. They weren’t wealthy before. Comfortable, yes, but never extravagant. Philip Wellman—Ethan’s father had once been a respected architect, designing elegant buildings that provided a steady income and a modestly good life. However, the lawsuits, a failed project, and the ruthless collapse of his firm soon followed. Money dried up. Bills piled high. They went from comfort to poverty so quickly that Ethan could still taste the bitterness of it.

I sank into the car seat, arching my back in relaxation. I was trying to resist my eyes from widening in bewilderment. Look who was reluctant a few minutes ago... … Liam was right. In a way, how the rich people exercised was quite different from a typical middle-class lifestyle. While we did things according to budget, billionaire’s didn’t even make it seem like they did.

It was like they had different ways of doing it, and even included games in it.

Everyone was curious about this mysterious and absurdly wealthy buyer. The hashtags #BillionaireBaby and #RichestLiveShopper trended almost instantly. Jenna laughed gleefully. "Look at that! I'm trending for spending too much." Kelvin peeked over her shoulder. "What did you buy now?" "Just a few gifts for the employees. And some extras." "How much is a few?" "Over a billion," she said, sipping her juice casually. Kelvin's jaw dropped. "You spent a billion?!" Jenna winked. "Well, if the old man wants to destroy me, I might as well have fun while I'm at it."

Once again, Silvia couldn't help but sigh that there could be a huge difference between people. In the past, she had always thought that she came from a rich family and led a good life. After she met the Kyle family, only then did she realise that there was no limit to the universe. The actual life of someone wealthy was completely different from what Silvia had imagined before. She had thought that all wealthy people in the world lived luxurious lifestyles every day. To her surprise, the Kyle family kept a very low profile. Moreover, they were friendly people and were living harmoniously among themselves.

Miranda Duran, a 22-year-old orphan, was a sight to behold. A typical ordinary female who is well-known for her clumsiness in everyday situations. She had recently completed her undergraduate studies at a community college. Andrew Templeton, an egotistical billionaire, was the first person she met on that day. However, in a ridiculous situation. The Templeton brothers were dubbed "the rich Nasty Billionaires" in their hometown of Las Vegas. They were obscenely wealthy and ruthless in their pursuit of power. There was nothing they wouldn't do to get what they wanted.

If that was the case, from now on, he would be richer than anyone else in the world. ‘The richest man in the world? Pah! ‘The World's Billionaires by Forbes? Pah! ‘All of you don’t have as many zeroes even with your wealth combined. ‘From now on, I, David Lidell, will change the way I live. ‘I’ve been living too aggrievedly for the past 20 years. Over the next few decades, I want to live my life brilliantly and enjoy my life. I want to live my life without a care in the world.

At the same time, countless people were shooting envious gazes at Kyle, and some of the rich kids he was close with quickly fawned over him. "Don't forget to introduce us to Mr. Levine later, Kyle." "I think you're the only one in this entire hall who knows the man!" "Don't forget your bros when you get in John's good graces." Kyle appeared humble, but he could hardly hide the smugness he felt inside. Being the top businessman in North City, the Levines owned astonishing troves of wealth and were so well-connected, and all of North City could not wait to ride his coattails.
