The story was writing itself in my head. "It was a risky gamble," he confessed, chuckling. "I remember the sheer terror that gripped me in the stomach as I signed the papers, severing all ties with my father's wealth. But I was young, ambitious, and desperate to prove myself. So, I left, with nothing but two suitcases with clothes and a small bank account of money I had saved over the years from various jobs I'd taken." Tucking a lock of hair behind my ear, I shook her head slowly. "Interesting. So, the rumors of your rags-to-riches story were half-true."

But no... that kind of acquired money never stays. Everyone knows what they say about those who won the lottery. Most of them lose it! Jacques, let's get rich by working hard! That way, you'll know how to handle your money. But wait...someone's trying to kill me... Could this be related to that?

I asked, laughing at his idea but for some reason, he looked serious. “No, Tinkerbell! I'm serious. You're damn good at what you do. I spent millions to win that case you fought against the step-richards brother. But you were able to win that case with a mere theory that you proved on the court. You are a born genius. Of course you don't want money. I know that. Otherwise, you would have studied business and taken over both your father's and mother's businesses.” With wide eyes, I stared at him as he spoke.

I wore a facemask, hiding from watchful eyes, and for the first time, I told her everything—about Simon, about the marriage that had nearly destroyed me, about the lies spun so tightly I couldn’t breathe. She listened, eyes blazing with outrage. “That’s it. Never trust those rich assholes. They’re always hiding something—cheaters, liars, psychos. There’s always something rotten.” I laughed weakly. “I was rich once, remember? And I wasn’t any of those things.” “You,” she said firmly, “were the rare exception. And that’s why you have Ajax. He’s proof of the good in you.” She reached over to pat his head. “That boy is pure blessing.”

“This could change everything for you.” “It’s not just about money,” I shot back, my voice shaking slightly. “I won’t lose myself in this… whatever it is you want.” He studied me for a moment, trying to understand why I was so resistant. Did he really believe that taking his offer would mean losing myself? Just then, Sam rushed over, her eyes wide with worry. “Evelyn! You can’t be serious!” I turned to my friend, torn between joy and fear. “Think about it!” Sam urged. “He’s a billionaire! This is dangerous!”

"Stop crying, you idiot, we're going to have to serve the crazy rich Richard Smith world soon." Her words just now managed to make me laugh out loud. However, when I realized the name Natty had mentioned, I was hit by reality again. I was slapped by the fact that my life had been really miserable. The fact that there was a family named Richard Smith who was nicknamed crazy rich, as well as a woman named Sara Smith who chose to live a miserable life with an asshole man for years, made me shed tears again with my chest feeling very tight.

There was a crack in her voice. Robbie shook his head. “They are not, ma’am.” Joan shook her head. “They can’t do this. They… they can’t just make such a ridiculous request,” she stated, placing the paper on the table. “Yes, we are struggling since the Kingswell project, which turned out to be a disaster, but we are still holding up,” assurance lacing her tone. She turns to her dad, who looked sad and defeated. “We still have some resources to keep us going. W—we are on the verge of bankruptcy, but we can still hold on, right, Dad?” She asked for clarity, a look of hope, but the sadness on her dad’s face told her otherwise.

Other people didn't know of your existence even though you were part of the rich family. [You had no status. Your days were tough.] [As for me, I was an illegitimate baby. From now on, we shall stay away from the rich and live happily after.] My heart ached. I turned to my side and exposed my belly to the sunlight. "Alright, I'll listen to you, my son." Now I had enough money, I planned to leave after my son was born. I would start a business instead of picking up trash. If I kept doing this, I would get caught one day and lose all my money.

I'm a middle class, but I know to respect someone who is obviously overflowing with money. “Did I ask for your opinion?” I cut her off, glancing back at her. I lifted the black card infront of her—pressing the card on her chest “If you don't want me to buy that tacky dress, then I won't. It's not a lost.” She went pale to what I said, realizing that I'm serious. Sure, I'm not rich and just a wannabe elite—but still that idiot is rooting for me, he will do everything for me.
