Clinton shouted like a mad man, he checked the message more than dozen times, and it turned out it was not a fake message.

There's was actually a hundred million dollars in his account!

Few minutes later someone called his line again, "Have you received the money that I sent you?" The familiar voice of his elder sister sounded, when Clinton answered the call.

"Sister? What is going on, You are the one that sent me the money?" Clinton asked, his voice trembling.

"Yes, actually I am also very happy that this day has come, today is the day that your poverty education ends."

Poverty education?

Since when did poverty become a source of Education?

"Sister, what do you mean? I don't get you"

"Brother, I am sorry that I made you go through this. I didn't have any further options. As the next heir of the Wayne family, you are to be raised in poverty for 20 years before you will be handed all the family assets..

She didn't allow him to interrupt as she went on to explain. "As one of the richest families in the world, our heir, however, shouldn't be one of those spoiled brats who only knows how to waste money, that's why you lived your life in poverty, this is to help have you get a humble character"

Clinton tightened his fist and yelled. "I was from a rich family? Then how the hell did I have to suffer all these years. I have been struggling just to get money to pay my school fees, and now you are telling me I'm a heir?"

"Darling, I'm so sorry that you have to go through all that. The Wayne family is a huge family that has thousands of businesses across the world. Our family has strict jurisdiction when it comes to their heir. Since you are the only boy, everything would rest on your shoulders."

"Sister, you are not answering my question. I had to lead a life full of mockery, pain and anxiety all these years, just to get a humble character? Sister, why did you do this to me?"

Tears were coming from his eyes when his mind reflected on the scene he witnessed last night, if he had money at that time Xavier wouldn't have left.

Clinton said in a sad tone forgetting his sister was still on the phone.. "Xavier, if you didn't break up with me yesterday, I would have bought you Luxuries. Now you will regret it."

"Hahaha, Who is Xavier, your girlfriend? She broke up with you because you were poor?" Vannesa laughed.

"Sister this is not funny, I loved her.. why are you even prying into my life, It doesn't concern you!"

"Clinton, stop acting like a girl and man up, the money that I sent you actually belongs to you. Is from the hotel you own." Vannesa said in a serious tone.

His heart heaved when he heard this. "What the hell… I own a hotel? Are you joking with me? I've never even stepped foot at a hotel all my life…."

"Brother stop doubting my words, do I sound like I am joking to you?"

Clinton calmed down, and thought about everything he had heard.

"Sister, why didn't you ever tell me we were rich? I remember how much we passed through together after mom and Dad went abroad."

Clinton paused. " Wait a second, where is mom and Dad. Why are you the one telling me and not them?"

"Clinton, mom and dad are visiting an old friend in China. They will leave after a month, that's why they made me call you. They will call you next month"

Had it not been the fact that he has received a hefty amount of hundred million he would never have believed his family was so rich.

Clinton paced inside the dormitory, "so I own a hotel? What's the name"

"Dreamers hotel. Hence we will need you to take good care of it."

Clinton's face went pale again.

"What? Dreamers Hotel, you mean the only seven star hotel in Asheville? And it's mine?" Clinton asked, his voice was filled with horror as if he had seen a ghost.

"Haha, not only that, Vision Real Estate belongs to you as well."

Clinton's body shook slightly when he heard that.

"Sister,..." Clinton opened his lips but his words couldn't come up.

"Clinton, When you get time go and visit the various headquarters of our companies. You will be running them for now ."

Vannesa was about to end the call when she suddenly remembered something.

"And yes, I have mailed something to you. I have included the details of all the managers of the companies you own. I have already informed them about you, all you need to do is to visit them when you have time, I have an urgent meeting right now, goodbye Clinton''

When the call ended, Clinton couldn't stop staring at the hundred million dollars in his account right now. He laughed.

"I will get to buy luxury items, like cars and mansions…" Damn there were a whole lot of things that he wanted to buy right now.

The sound of someone knocking on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Hello, are you Mr Wanye?"

The person asked when He went to open the door.

Clinton nodded.

The carrier man handed him a package and then made him sign his name before he left.

As Clinton unwrapped the box, his eyes widened at the sight of a black-golden credit card with his name 'Clinton Wayne" emblazoned in bold characters.

Not only that, he could see various documents inside as well.

He quickly went through the details of all the companies that he owned at Ashville and it turned out sister only mentioned a few to him. Looking at the list of companies like Warfare Restaurant, he could not stop smiling.

With this, Clinton started believing that his family was super rich! His eyes kept staring at documents.

He quickly saved up the contacts of all the managers who were at his company.

He then took out one of his friends' laptops and began to search for his family's surname 'Wayne'.

Surprisingly, he didn't find anything on the Internet about his family. It was as if they were never alive.

He went on researching various companies that he owned then suddenly, he saw the official account of Vision Real estate had announced his arrival as the owner of the company!

"So it's really true. I really own Vision Real estate"

However, it was just the beginning, several huge companies also posted his arrival as well but for some reason they didn't post his family surname they only wrote 'Mr. Clinton'.

    After looking through the various companies he owns, Clinton received a call from his class captain. A very nice voice came from the other end when the call connected. "Did you forget about my birthday? Why are you not here?"Clinton scratched his head, thinking of a way to turn her request down. "Oh about that, I will be busy right now. I can't attend your party.""Come on Clinton, It's my birthday, Don't worry," she paused then said. "You don't have to think about buying me any gifts. You being there will be okay for me. I will feel bad if you absent yourself from tonight's party.""But I don't want to come. The people will laugh at me even if I wear something good""Clinton," she said in a soft voice.

Sanderson said boastfully. "Sir, it's not about the prize. Our signature dishes are meant for peopl

    When he reached where Clinton was standing, he posed like a righteous man and gestured for him to follow him. Sanderson had decided to use this opportunity to further humiliate Clinton. If making fun of Clinton will make all the girls happy then he would do it.He lead him to the table he was sitting on. "Clinton I respect you very much, please why don't you take my seat?" Clinton was also curious to see the end of Sanderson's joke so he played along and sat on the chair.Suddenly, everyone on the table stood up and left, leaving him to sit there alone."Sanderson don't be too modest. You are too kind, but being kind has its limit. Clinton tried to chase after your girlfriend. He doesn't even have the qualities to do so. why are you offering him your seat?"

    So just because of money, she gave the most valuable part of herself to a man?This made Clinton more angry. "Xavier, we all heard you when you said if I could ever buy an item that cost as much as 10,000$, you'd kneel before me and worship me."Xavier wanted to hide her head. Offcourse she was the one that said it but she never thought Clinton can actually spend an amount that exceeded 10,000$!Trying to hide the turmoil she was feeling, she rolled her eyes at him. "So what if I said that. The receipt you pulled out could be fake"" F*ck you Xavier" Clinton leered. "You gave out your words. However, if you won't kneel down and worship me, then it means you are just a b*tch!"All the class started laughing and began to point fingers at her."Puhahaha""Xavier, Your pretty face doesn't make you invisible.

    The waitress's hands trembled as she lost her balance, causing the plates to slip from her grasp and crash onto the floor. Her eyes widened in horror, and a cry of frustration escaped her lips."Nooooo!"After regaining her composure, she shot a piercing glare at Xavier, her expression filled with anger and resentment. Her words dripped with sarcasm as she spoke."Don't you have eyes?"Xavier felt a surge of irritation at her aggressive tone."It's just two plates. Why make such a fuss? Do you even know who I am? Is insulting me over some smashed food really necessary? Just get out of my sight."His annoyance seeped into his retort, his voice laced with frustration."No. You have to compensate for the destruction you have caused"Xavier retorted.

    "Mr. Sandex is requesting you people to pay him $10,000 as compensation for the trauma he felt after you crashed your car into his. Excluding the actual amount of the damage caused on the vehicle."The leader of the bodyguards said with a haughty expression on his face.Many people gasped at the sound of this hefty amount."Ten thousand dollars? How are those average boys going to pay that amount?"Jimmy looked at the rest of his roommates with an apologetic gaze in his eyes. "Guys I'm sorry for dragging you all into this."But his friends rebuked him instead. "What are you talking about? We are in this together.

    Clinton couldn't stay at the party any longer. He wanted to ask Sandra to call Jimmy for him, but he couldn't make such a request with both Sanderson and Jordan present.Even the annoying Akira wouldn't allow him to have Sandra's phone. Clinton sighed and laughed silently in his heart. Although what they were doing was hurtful, he didn't want to blame them.Almost all of Clinton's classmates now hated him, they regarded him as a lier, a cheater and a shameless person.It wasn't their fault; it was his fault for telling Sandra and Akira the truth earlier. What was he thinking? Did he really believe they would easily believe him? He was foolish back then. These people would never believe anything he said, so he should have been smarter earlier.Now everyone would believe that the bracelet he bought for Sandra was just a fake!As if Sanderson could read his mind, he chuckled.

    The entire room fell silent for a moment, and then laughter erupted from everyone."Hahaha...""Did Clinton say he's now a rich heir? When did that happen?"No wonder Clinton was acting so arrogantly. So he's been dealing with a mental illness all this time?Sanderson couldn't believe what he was hearing. "He what?"Akira continued to narrate the whole story to the group, explaining why Clinton claimed he was no longer poor. "He said he actually comes from a very wealthy family. He only found out about it last night. It's hard to believe."But Akira didn't stop there; she was determined to do anything to discredit Clinton. This would surely make Jordan happy."So Clinton lied to Sandra about being a rich boy? Who does he think he's fooling?"Many people shook their heads in disbelief."Clinton, why do you always seek trouble? Do you think we all live in cages? To say such lousy words, you must have hidden a lot from us. You appear humble and gentle, but you can still tell lies to a gi

    Sanderson acted as if Clinton had committed a terrible offense."Clinton? You insulted Jordan? Do you realize you'll get in trouble?"Clinton responded directly. "What trouble? Just because I insulted him, I've done something wrong? However, when Jordan pointed his finger at me and insulted me, it was acceptable because he is more powerful? Is that how things are supposed to be? This is not fair."Sanderson glared at Clinton, unable to comprehend how someone from a humble background could speak so boldly in front of the heir to the Sandex family."Clinton, be mindful of your words"Sanderson expected Clinton to back down, but to his surprise, Clinton had no intention of doing so. Since Clinton had humiliated him earlier, he wanted to find a way to pay him back. However, his plans were altered when he noticed Sandra wearing the ruby bracelet on her wrist. If he were to snatch it from her, everyone would know it was him. So, for now, he had to let his plans slide.But now, seeing how Cl

    "Clinton, you are being disrespectful. All Jordan wanted was for you to leave the table so he can have his privacy. He cannot talk to Sandra while you are there."Someone from the crowd tried to advise Clinton.However, Clinton looked at the person and leered. "So, I should leave, just like that? I was already sitting at the table. Why should I be the one to leave?"As Clinton was saying this, just like before, the door to the VIP room swung open!But this time, it was a waitress who entered the room. She held a tray in her hands, and on top of it was a cake.She trotted straight toward the table where Sandra and the rest were sitting. She placed the tray on the table and spoke."I'm sorry I took so long. Here is the cake."Everybody stared at the waitress, confusion written on their faces. "Who ordered a cake? Sandra, was it you? Did you order the cake? We thought you said you never liked cakes."Sandra looked innocent and responded, "It wasn't me. I did not order any cake," she said

    Sandra's beautiful face and her curvy figure made Jordan's heart hungry for the thirst of getting Sandra to love him back."Why is Jordan still standing?" Akira hurried to say, it was evident in her act that she doesn't want him to leave. "That is unkind. He is a guest, please have a seat" Akira got up from her chair and made sure to clean the seat next to Sandra's with the side of her Louis Vuitton dress.Though it was very a expensive, she didn't care!Some times people are more important than material things.She thought as she wiped the already clean chair. "Come sit, Please"Jordan nodded his head at the kind treatment he was receiving. That is how it should always be like for him, he needs to be exalted wherever he goes. "Thank you,"He sat down like a king sat on his throne. He puffed out his chest and breathed in an air of power.Since Clinton was sitting at the same table, Jordan automatically faced him.

    Sandra was well aware that Clinton was joking. She never believed any of the words he had told her and was now seeking an explanation for how he acquired the receipt.How could he claim to belong to a wealthy family that only revealed their wealth to him yesterday? It all seemed surreal."Clinton, you don't have to lie to me about this. It's fine if you don't want to tell me," Sandra said.Akira also had doubts about Clinton's words. She wasn't naive enough to believe that someone could become rich in just 24 hours. To her, Clinton was simply using this as an excuse to hide something from them.She looked at Clinton and asked, "So, tell me, where are the rest of the items you bought?"She finished her question by pulling out the receipt that Clinton had placed on the table earlier."You bought five expensive bags, each costing $20,000. So, where are they now?""I gave them as a gift to someone who was kind to me. I thought she could sell them and have enough to live on," Clinton explai

    At the Victoria Restaurant, inside the VIP room, Clinton could be seen holding onto his phone, attempting to switch it on multiple times without success. The frustrations of using a poor-quality phone made him regret not buying a new one earlier in the day. Clinton sat on a chair, trying to calm his nerves as he pondered how to save his friends.The seriousness in Jimmy's voice indicated that they had encountered a significant problem, one that wouldn't be easily resolved. What troubled Clinton the most was his inability to reach Jimmy.As he glanced across the room, he noticed Sandra and Akira engaged in conversation at a higher table. A thought suddenly struck him: Jimmy and Sandra knew each other. All he needed to do was to go to her and ask for Jimmy's contact from her."So do you think Clinton is actually rich?" Akira asked, her tone laced with suspicion."I don't know. Clinton tells me everything about his life, but I'm not sure about this matter," Sandra replied, opening the R
