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. When Brentley first met Ophelia, she was a kind and innocent girl. Everyone else looked down on Brentley, but Ophelia had always stood by his side.
However, in the two years since they arrived at Sunshine City University, Ophelia's outlook had changed as she met more people. Brentley had long sensed that Ophelia would break up with him, but he never imagined she would do it so heartlessly.
When Brentley was young, his family was quite well-off. The Carter Family was a prominent family in their area. Both of Brentley's parents held high positions in the family business. Although they weren't among the super-rich, compared to Colby's family, the Carters were very wealthy.
However, when Brentley turned fifteen, his parents died in an accident. The rest of the Carter Family saw Brentley as a thorn in their side, and eventually, he was forced to leave and fend for himself.
To pay for his tuition and living expenses, Brentley took on any job he could find, no matter how dirty or exhausting. During the day, he would collect bottles, and at night, he worked as a waiter at a bar near his school.
His classmates constantly humiliated him, but Brentley didn't care as long as Ophelia was by his side. However, now even Ophelia had left him.
Brentley lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He couldn't find any meaning in his life anymore.
"Ding!"
Just then, the sound of a text message notification broke the silence.
Brentley blinked in surprise and picked up his phone, giving it a quick glance. When he saw the message, he froze, his face showing utter shock.
"Your account ending in 6174 has received a deposit of $5,000,000.00. Your new balance is $5,000,025.00."
Brentley quickly sat up, staring at his phone in disbelief. "Five million... This must be some kind of joke!"
He looked at the message, his mind filled with confusion.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Before Brentley could make sense of the message, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door.
BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBOUR
Brentley quickly opened the door after hearing the knock, and standing before him was a middle-aged woman in black stockings, weighing at least 200 pounds. "Landlady, you're here!"
Brentley was momentarily taken aback but then greeted her with a forced smile.
Brentley Carter, cut the nonsense. I called you earlier, and you didn't pick up. Now tell me, when are you going to pay the three months' rent you owe me?" The middle-aged woman demanded fiercely.
"Um, landlady, I get paid in a couple of days. Can you please give me just two more days?" Brentley pleaded in a low voice.
"Two more days?" The landlady scoffed and then shouted, "Brentley, I've already given you enough time because you're a student. You were supposed to pay monthly, and now you're three months behind. And you still have the nerve to ask for two more days? Have you no shame?"
Brentley looked at his landlady with a helpless expression. A week ago, he had spent all his money on a birthday gift for Ophelia, leaving him completely broke and unable to pay the rent.
"Landlady, I really don't have any money right now. I promise I'll pay you in two days!" Brentley said, feeling deeply embarrassed.
"I'm not in the mood for your excuses. You either pay me the rent today, or you pack up and leave!" The woman's loud voice made the fat on her face shake slightly.
Brentley stood there, stunned, unsure of what to do. He really had no money at the moment.
"Bang!” At that moment, the door to the neighboring room swung open.
A pretty girl in a black lace nightgown, still groggy from sleep, stepped out and pouted, "What's all the yelling about? Can't a person get some sleep around here?"
"Miss Phoebe, I'm so sorry to bother you, but this boy hasn't paid his rent. I'm just here to collect it," the middle-aged woman explained with a fawning smile as soon as she saw the young woman.
The girl turned and looked Brentley up and down before softly asking, "How much does he owe you?" "It's not much,really, just three months' rent, six hundred dollars," the middle-aged woman replied with a cheerful grin.
"Six hundred dollars, and you're making such a fuss?" The girl gave a slight, disdainful smile.
"It's just that he's been owing it for so long and hasn't paid..." The middle-aged woman seemed a bit embarrassed as she explained.
"Fine, I'll transfer his rent to you via WeChat in a bit. Stop shouting here," the girl said coldly, crossing her arms.
"Thank you, Miss Phoebe, thank you!" The middle-aged woman responded happily, then turned to Brentley and said, "Boy, you're lucky today. Miss Phoebe is paying your rent. Next time, if you dare to owe me again, see how I'll deal with you!"
"I'll pay on time next time," Brentley said softly.
The middle-aged woman gave Brentley a fierce glare before turning and leaving.
Brentley looked up at the girl standing at the door in her nightgown. Although he had lived here for a long time, this was the first time he had observed his beautiful neighbor so closely. Her face was stunningly beautiful, almost breathtaking, with delicate features. Her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her eyes like dark pools, and her lips like cherry blossoms. Perhaps because she had just been resting, her jet-black hair was slightly messy. She wore a black lace nightgown that revealed a lot of soft, smooth skin. Her long legs were exposed to the air, and her figure was exceptionally eye-catching.
"Thank you for what you did just now. Actually, I..." Brentley took a deep breath and spoke softly to the beautiful girl.
"No need to thank me. I just spent $600 for some peace and quiet..." The beautiful woman interrupted Brentley impatiently.
"Uh, well, I'll pay you back as soon as I get my paycheck. By the way, your name is..."
"Bang!"
Before Brentley could finish his sentence, the woman had already walked into her room and shut the door.
Brentley stood there awkwardly. Maybe $600 wasn't much to her, but to Brentley, it was a significant amount. Since she clearly didn't want to talk, Brentley quietly closed his door. "Ring, ring..."
Just then, Brentley's phone rang again.
He picked it up and answered weakly, "Hello, who is this?"
"Young Master Carter, did you see the money I transferred to you?" The voice of a middle-aged man came through.
"You transferred money to me?" Brentley was taken aback, then suddenly remembered the notification he had seen earlier.
"That's right. I know you might think I'm a scam, so I transferred some money to prove myself. If you don't believe me, you can check at the bank..." The man chuckled.
Without thinking twice, Brentley hung up and rushed to the nearest bank with his card.
When he saw the number on the ATM screen, he was stunned. The man wasn't joking—there was indeed an extra $5,000,000 in his account!
"It's... it's real!"
Facing such an enormous amount of money, Brentley felt like he was dreaming. With a trembling right hand,
he took out his phone and dialed the unfamiliar number.

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.

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?"

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.

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?"
