Sunshine City.
A teenager dressed in a light blue shirt and worn-out jeans walked through the campus of Sunshine City University. His eyes were frequently looking. on the ground, as if searching for something.
The boy had decent looks, but his clothes seemed like they hadn't been washed in ages. The black stains on his cuffs were particularly noticeable. Passing students looked at him with disdain, avoiding him as if he was a plague. Brentley Carter seemed accustomed to these looks. With a calm expression, he headed towards a discarded water bottle by the roadside.
"Ring, ring!"
An old Nokia phone suddenly rang.
Brentley quickly took out his phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Is this Brentley Carter, Young Master Carter?" A deep, steady voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone and spoke without hurry. "I'm Brentley Carter, but I'm not Young Master Carter..." Brentley replied, puzzled.
"Young Master Carter, there's an inheritance that you need to claim. Do you have time today?" The middle-aged man's tone was respectful.
"Heh, I have an inheritance to claim?" Brentley chuckled, his tone filled with helplessness. "Buddy, I think you have the wrong guy. My family is all gone. I'm an orphan. Where would I get an inheritance?"
"Young Master Carter, I..."
Brentley Carter didn't wait for the explanation and hung up the phone, shaking his head lightly. "These scammers are getting really idle. I don't even have fifty bucks on me, and they think they can trick me? claiming I have an inheritance? my parents have been dead for years..."
Just then, Brentley's phone rang again!
Without thinking, Brentley hit the reject button and walked towards a nearby water bottle. He was worried that if he delayed, the old man who collected recycled stuff at school might snatch it up.
"Snap!” As Brentley bent down to pick up the bottle, a red high heel stepped on it.
Instinctively, Brentley paused and looked up along the slender, beautiful leg. What he saw was a tall, sexy girl with a stunning figure.
The girl had light makeup on her delicate face, wore a black tight-fitting T-shirt that perfectly outlined her chest, and a black denim mini-skirt that hugged her shapely hips. Her long, fair legs ended in a pair of red high heels, making her look incredibly alluring.
"Ophelia, you... what are you doing here?” Brentley's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the girl.
The girl standing before him was none other than his girlfriend, Ophelia.
"Brentley, why are you picking up trash again? Do you really want to spend your life as a worthless trash picker?" Ophelia's pretty face turned cold, and she scolded Brentley without any mercy, her brows furrowing deeply.
"I..." Brentley opened his mouth to explain.
"What's there to explain? Forget it. If you want to pick up trash, I can't stop you. But from today on, we're breaking up. I don't want someone like you to be a stain on my life," Ophelia shouted at Brentley with a look of utter disgust.
"Break up?" Brentley froze the moment he heard Ophelia's words, his eyes wide with shock.
"Ophelia, you can't be serious, right?" Brentley asked in a low voice, staring directly at Ophelia in front of him.
"Serious? Do you think I'd joke with someone like you?" Ophelia sneered.
"Why would you want to break up out of the blue?" Brentley finally realized that Ophelia wasn't joking; she was dead serious.
"Why? Because you're broke, just a poor guy who picks up trash!" Ophelia looked down at Brentley with disdain, giving him a once over before continuing, "Brentley, did you really think I wanted to be with you forever? Take a good look at yourself. Do you think you deserve me? You can't give me what I want!"
Brentley stared at Ophelia, his eyes empty. Deep down, he had already guessed the reason, but he couldn't accept that his girlfriend of nearly three years was leaving him over money.
"Brentley, I'm officially telling you now that we have no relationship from this moment on. I hope you don't bother me anymore!"
With that, Ophelia turned and started to walk away.
Brentley quickly stepped forward, trying to stop her, but just then, a young man emerged from behind Ophelia. He lifted his leg and kicked Brentley hard in the stomach.
"Colby?"
Brentley took two steps back, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the young man beside Ophelia.
Ophelia skillfully hooked her arm around Colby's, her voice dripping with sweetness. "Brentley, This is my new boyfriend, Colby! He's better looking than you, richer than you, and knows how to have fun. Only someone like him deserves me, Ophelia!"
Brentley stared at Colby. Although Colby was average-looking, he was a wealthy heir in their class. It was clear that Ophelia had left him for Colby because of his money.
"Brentley, from today on, Ophelia is my girlfriend. If I catch you bothering her again, I'll break one of your legs. Got it?"
Colby stepped forward, his tone arrogant as he addressed Brentley.
Brentley gritted his teeth and remained silent. He knew that Colby not only had money but also connections with some gangs. If he really offended Colby, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Darling, don't waste your time with this kind of person. Let's go!"
At that moment, Ophelia nestled into Colby's arms and whispered.
"You little vixen, can't wait to get a room with me, huh?"
Colby couldn't help but chuckle. He then pulled out a few red bills from his pocket and waved them in front of Brentley. "Brentley, I remember you would do anything for money, right? Here's fifty bucks. Go to the pharmacy and buy us a box of condoms; we'll need them later...“
Ophelia's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment at Colby's words, but she said nothing. Brentley's eyes burned with anger as he looked at the money in Colby's hand.
He had been with Ophelia for over three years, and he hadn't even held her hand, let alone gotten a room with her! But now, Ophelia and Colby had only been together for a few days, and they were already getting a room!
And Colby had the audacity to ask him to buy them condoms, treating him as if he was nothing!
By now, the area was crowded with students, all of whom were watching Brentley with expressions of disdain, as if he were the punchline of a cruel joke.
After all, nothing seemed more pitiful than what had just happened.
But what they didn't know was that the most sad part wasn't Colby asking Brentley to buy him condoms. It was the fact that Brentley was actually tempted by the cash in Colby's hand!
If Brentley could get that money, he could finally pay his rent.
"So, what’s it gonna be? Are you going or not? If you don't, I'll just find
someone else!" Colby asked with a mocking smile.

Brentley hesitated for a couple of seconds, then turned his icy gaze towards Ophelia. "Ophelia, I hope you never regret your decision today!""Regret? Regret what? Regret breaking up with a poor loser like you?" Ophelia scoffed coldly.Taking a deep breath, Brentley didn't even think twice before turning and walking away, disappearing from everyone's sight.After leaving the university, Brentley returned alone to the small apartment he rented off-campus.Since he had to work at a bar at night and wouldn't get off until around 2 am, when the dorms were already locked, he had rented a place for himself. Though the room was barely the size of a bathroom, it was enough for him.Back in his room, memories of his time with Ophelia flooded his mind. Their once passionate promises now seemed laughable.

Young Master Carter, do you believe me now?" The middle-aged man answered quickly, his tone cheerful."Who... who are you? Why are you giving me so much money?" Brentley asked, his voice filled with confusion."Young Master Carter, if you have time, please come to Convergence Edifice, on the twenty-seventh floor." I will explain everything to you in person," the middle-aged man said slowly.Brentley hesitated for a couple of seconds, then softly replied, "I'll come over right now.” "Very well, Young Master Carter."The other party courteously hung up the phone.Brentley withdrew fifty dollars from the ATM and hailed a taxi to the Convergence Edifice. Since he had no idea what this money was about, he only took out fifty dollars. This way, if something went wrong, he would still have a chance to fix it.At one o'clock in the afternoon, Brentley arrived at the location of the Convergence Edifice.The parking lot was filled with luxury cars worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the

Becoming the Chairman of Convergence Group at such a young age was no small feat, so Della clearly had other intentions. If she could get involved with Brentley, her position in the company would be secure."Alright then, starting today, you'll be working as a janitor in the company," Brentley replied nonchalantly before striding out of the office.Della stood there, stunned, her face flushed with shame and anger. She never expected that Brentley would resist her charms and instead assign her to be a janitor!"Did you hear what Young Master Carter just said?" Mr. Griffin asked Della with a blank expression. "Y-Yes, I heard..." Della quickly responded. No matter what, even being a janitor was better than getting fired from the company.Meanwhile, Brentley, after the recent events, started to believe that everything happening today wasn't a scam but real. Otherwise, Mr. Griffin wouldn't have fired those people just because of him.Brentley decided to test the card that had been given to

The students in the class were stunned upon hearing this, as they all knew the Prosperity Hotel was a five-star establishment. A meal for so many people would cost at least five or six thousand dollars. How could Brentley possibly afford that?"Has Brentley lost his mind? How can he agree to this?" Graham couldn't help but exclaim. If it were a regular restaurant, he and Tyree could scrape together the money for the meal. But the Prosperity Hotel? Even Graham and Tyree couldn't afford that!"Going to the Prosperity Hotel is fine, but I have one condition!"At this moment, Brentley suddenly spoke up."What condition?" Colby asked, looking at Brentley."The cost of our class dinner at the Prosperity Hotel today, how about you and I split it fifty-fifty?"Brentley knew that Colby was trying to make things difficult for him.

Even if Brentley could pay, it would probably cost him everything he had. Was it really worth spending all his money just to save face?

Before Brentley broke up with Ophelia, he had spent all his money on her, so he was still using an old Nokia phone that could only send texts and make calls, with no other functions.Earlier, Felicity had reminded Brentley about his outdated phone, so after leaving the Hotel, he randomly found a phone store and bought the latest smart phone. The cost of the phone was nothing to Brentley now.At this moment, Brentley finally realized that everything Mr. Griffin had told him was probably true. Although he hadn't used the black card from Huaxia Bank yet, the five million dollars in his personal Bank account were very real. He had used that card to pay for the meal at the Prosperity Hotel and the new phone.Brentley found it all incredibly surreal. He had suddenly become the heir to a fortune.

Heh, Colby, since you're asking, I suppose I can give you this favor," Simeon replied with a faint smile. He then continued, "I was planning to let my guys have some fun with these three ladies, but since they're your friends, I'll let it slide. Just pay for my brother's medica expenses and take them away.""How much are the medical expenses?" Colby asked, biting his lip in hesitation."The girl who hit him owes five thousand dollars, and the other two owe two thousand each," Simeon said, pointing at Ophelia.Colby stood there, stunned and devastated. He had already spent over Nine thousand dollars at the hotel yesterday, which his dad had to bring over. Now Simeon was asking for another Nine thousand, and Colby simply didn't have that kind of money on hand. "What's the matter, no money?" Simeon asked, noticing Colby's expression and frowning."Mr. Simeon, isn't Nine thousand a bit too much?" Colby whispered."Heh, if you don't have the money, that's fine. Just have these three ladies

Let's just go!"Vienna was deeply moved that Brentley had stepped up to speak for her, but she knew there was no way he could afford a $960,000 villa.

Caroline stopped laughing and gave him a quick look, then said, "You want to buy this villa, right? This villa is a special offer. We don't accept loans; it's full payment only. The deposit is two hundred thousand, and the remaining Seven hundred and sixty thousand must be paid within a week. If you want to buy it, just pay up!""Two hundred thousand for the deposit?"

She knew that by calling Brentley here today, she had basically offended Manager Brown.When Brentley leaves, she would definitely be fired by her.Vienna was at a loss for what to do, her small hands fidgeting with the hem of her clothes.Caroline, with practiced ease, picked up a laser pointer and directed it at the model of the villa on the far edge.

The price is $300 per square foot, so the total comes to $960,000 if you pay in full.""$960,000?" Brentley Carter was taken aback by the numb

Do you know that all the properties we sell here are villas over 3,200 square feet?"The sexy manager, swaying gracefully in her high heels, approached Brentley with an aggressive tone."No, I don't..."Brentley shook his head lightly as he looked at the manager."Didn't you just ask me how I knew you couldn't afford a house here? Let me tell you, the cheapest villa here costs over a million dollars. Do you think you can come up with that kind of money?

Claire and Erica felt an even deeper disdain for Brentley after seeing him agree to their demands. In their eyes, Brentley was a man without dignity or ambition. Otherwise, how could he possibly agree to such conditions?"Here's my business card. It has my contact information. Send me your account details later, and I'll transfer your living expenses monthly," Claire said, hesitating for a moment before taking a card from her purse and handing it to Brentley."Okay, thank you!" Brentley replied cheerfully, taking the card with a smile. "How can you be so shameless? You're a grown man living off a woman's money. Don't you find that inappropriate?" Erica couldn't hold back any longer, her big, watery eyes glaring at Brentley."Being supported by a wealthy woman is a skill of mine. Do you want to be supported too? Is there anyone willing to support you?" Brentley replied nonchalantly, glancing at Erica."You... you are the most shameless man I've ever met!" Erica was at a loss for words,

You are you, and I am me." "Go on," Brentley replied nonchalantly."Second, you must have no improper thoughts about me. You can't do anything to violate me. We won't share the same room, and even if we do, we won't share the same bed," Claire continued, looking directly at Brentley."Any other conditions?" Brentley couldn't help but smile. He could already sense that Claire didn't truly want to marry him. She just wanted Brentley to play along so she could secure the investment for the Harris Family."The third condition is that you have no right to interfere with anything I do," Claire said slowly.
