Once William entered the dormitory, he could see his friends already waiting. Their facial expressions were full of curiosity and confusion. Before being asked, he would explain."Guys, I'll explain," said William, who was the 'accused' that night. "That Ferrari," he said, pointing to the luxury car outside the window, "is not mine. It was entrusted to me by a wealthy family on vacation in Asia. They entrusted this car to me." William doesn't like to lie. However, in this case, he had to. He couldn't tell them about his family. All William could say was that they were very generous people."The rich man is even a big donor at our college." William added.Andy looked at William with an incredulous look, "Seriously, Will? Do you know any rich people like that?" William nodded, "Yes, I do. But it's not something I want to show off. I don't want you to think that I'm using their relationship for personal gain." Sebastian commented, "But Will, this is a Ferrari. That's no ordinary c

Jordan thought hard about how to get a Ferrari. He talked to his mom about it, but instead of getting support, he got scolded."You're going crazy, Jordan!" yelled Sheryl, his mom."Your mom is just a widow.

Don't ruin it by asking me to buy you a Ferrari!" added Sheryl in an annoyed tone.Mickey, Jordan's younger brother, looked at his brother and shook his head. He couldn't understand his brother's strange behavior."Why are you suddenly asking for that fancy car?" asked a confused Mickey.Jordan was also annoyed with his brother and mother who knew nothing about what he was dealing with."You'd be surprised if you knew the truth," Jordan said in a serious tone.

On the way, Merida began to wonder what Jordan would do with the money."I'll use the money to bet," Jordan replied casually.Merida was surprised to hear Jordan's answer. She knew that betting could be very risky, and she was worried that Jordan might lose all the money."Bet? You said bet?" asked Merida, filled with disappointment.Jordan nodded. "Yes, I entered the bet and the prize was two million dollars. I'm sure I'm lucky enough."Merida was frustrated. She felt like she had been played by Jordan. She felt that Jordan had abused her trust.Without thinking, Merida punched Jordan in the arm. "Give me back the money!" she cried, her voice filled wit

The debt he made on the bet has ruined his relationship with Merida, who is sinking deeper and deeper into despair and fear.Whenever Merida's phone would ring, the debt collectors would ask her to pay up.

They only cared about one thing, getting their money back.During the first month Jordan gave Merida hope. He transferred some money to help out the girl. But that was short-lived. The next month, the help from Jordan started to dwindle. Even when Merida tried to inquire about the matter, Jordan was always evasive and avoidant.And as has been the case for the past few weeks, Jordan didn't provide any help to Merida either.

After that embarrassing incident, it seemed as if William became the butt of jokes from his friends on campus. Now, every time he passed by them, his friends on campus would tease, "Hey William, if you don't have money to buy food, I have a small balance in my account." This would be followed by a crisp laugh that echoed through the air.Andy would occasionally defend William and say they didn't need to say such useless things. However, it seemed that they preferred to tease. Especially when there was Robert who loved to laugh at them with all kinds of gossip. William was getting more and more humiliated by them.In the evening while in the dorm room.Andrew shook his head at William's attitude this time."You should have told us first if you didn't have money to buy food for Vera."William scratched his head.

The headlights of William's car should have made Vera realize he was coming. However, it seemed like they were so engrossed in their conversation that Vera didn't care. William turned off the car engine, thinking for a moment. Should he get off or not?Vera noticed William's arrival, the Ferrari car was quite conspicuous. The girl patted the thigh of the boy next to her, then she made a small run towards the car. Vera tapped on the glass. William opened the door immediately. The man put his foot on the ground and he greeted Vera. "Why don't you come down and say hello to me, instead of staying here?"William scratched the back of his head. "I thought you were busy, so it's not nice to interrupt." Vera laughed quite loudly at that. "What's busy? I was just waiting for you. Come on in." Vera took William's hand. It was an ordinary touch. They had been friends for a long time. However, for some reason tonight his heart was beating so fast, like there was something different about the

William was shocked. He stared at Vera wide-eyed, unable to believe what he had just heard. He never thought that Vera would actually like him.After the shock wore off, William felt happy."I'm sorry, Ver, that I couldn't dare to approach you. I thought... I wasn't your equal back then."Vera shook her head at William's confession. "Since when did I judge someone by their social status?"William knew that because Vera was very kind, it was impossible for her to judge someone by their social status. However, considering that there were many men who approached Vera, it was quite surprising that she said she liked William.Vera felt that the atmosphere between them was very awkward."I'd better go in first." Vera, stood up and walked slowly towards the door of her house, leaving William who was still sitting on the garden bench.William looked at Vera's back. Then, she stopped her steps. She turned around, her expression a little hard to guess. Every now and then Vera fluttered her hand

In the hospital waiting room, the atmosphere was quiet and tense. Amanda looked at Thomas with teary eyes and a heavy heart. Her husband was lying in the operating room, his life dependent on the expensive surgery. "No, Thomas," Amanda said, her voice hoarse, "my husband's surgery is very expensive. I'm going to tell the doctor that he can have regular care until we can raise the money to help him." Thomas looked at her with sympathetic eyes. "That's okay, Aunt Amanda," he said, "I'll tell my father to help with Uncle Lyn's treatment." However, Amanda shook her head, "No, Thomas, I'll work on this myself." Thomas did not give up as he continued to try and get Vera's attention. He glanced at Vera who was sitting quietly in the corner of the room. She seemed indifferent, unaffected by the situation that was happening around them. "I'm going to catch some air," Vera said suddenly, getting up from her chair and leaving Thomas and Amanda in the waiting room. The atmosphere became even
