The sight of you and your filthy money makes me sick." Using my wealth, he showered Clara Dove, the stunning campus bella from a humble background, with luxury gifts and even threw her a lavish birthday party at the city’s most exclusive hotel.

I slapped him across the face with the card and sneered, "Even beggars know how to kneel and ask. What are you, a weed?"
