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. If it had been the Brentley from a day ago, he wouldn't have dared to accept the challenge. But now, this amount of money was nothing to Brentley. He could use this opportunity to strike back. "Heh, how about we split it fifty-fifty?" Brentley suggested with a smirk.

Colby sneered and nodded. "Alright, today’s class expenses will be split between us!"

"Brother Colby, you're awesome!"

"Great, we can go eat at the Prosperity Hotel!"

The students in the class erupted into cheers upon hearing Colby's words. Eating at the Prosperity Hotel with so many people would cost at least five or six thousand dollars. Even splitting it in half would still be over two thousand dollars. Though Colby felt a pinch, he could afford it. He was convinced Brentley couldn’t.

"Brentley, you just wait. When it’s time to pay, I want to see how you handle it!" Colby thought, a sinister smile forming on his face as he watched Brentley walk away.

An hour later, the students arrived at the renowned five-star hotel in Sunshire City, the Prosperity Hotel. As they entered, their eyes widened in amazement. Most of them were ordinary folks who had never been to such a luxurious place.

Graham and Tyree, however, followed closely behind Brentley with worried expressions. "Brentley, do you really have the money to treat everyone?" Tyree asked hesitantly, his voice low.

"Don't worry. If I dared to come, it means I'm prepared," Brentley replied casually.

"But..." Tyree started to speak again, concern evident in his voice.

A beautiful woman in uniform approached Brentley and his group with a bright smile. The manager's eyes flickered with a hint of disdain when she saw Brentley, but she turned to Colby and bowed slightly, saying softly, "Sir, are you here for a meal?"

"That's right, we're here to eat. Get us a bigger private room!" Colby shouted proudly.

"Certainly, sir. Our hotel offers private rooms with a minimum spend of $2,500, VIP rooms with a minimum spend of $5,500, and supreme rooms with a minimum spend of $12,500. Which one would you prefer?" The manager inquired with a professional smile.

Hearing this, Colby couldn't help but glance at Brentley and said softly, "Brentley, it's not every day we get to dine at the Prosperity Hotel. A standard room just wouldn't cut it. How about we go for a VIP room?"

"Colby, that's too much! The VIP room has a minimum spend of $5,500!" Class president Felicity exclaimed, clearly displeased.

Everyone present knew that Colby was deliberately making things difficult for Brentley. If Brentley agreed, he would have to spend a lot more money. But if he refused, he would lose face in front of everyone.

"Class president, what are you saying? Since Brentley invited us to such a fancy hotel, he must not mind spending a bit more, right Brentley?" Colby said with a grin. "Do you think everyone is as rich as you?" Felicity retorted with a frown.

"Brentley, what do you think? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared of the VIP room price? Hahaha!" Colby shouted loudly at Brentley.

"I don't think there's any need for a VIP room," Brentley replied calmly.

"Haha, alright, I get it. You're too poor to treat everyone to something nice. Let's just go with the standard room then!" Colby laughed, his main goal being to humiliate Brentley. He didn't actually want to spend more money himself. "Miss, please arrange a standard room for us," Colby turned and said to the manager. "Of course, I'll arrange that right away," the manager nodded quickly.

"When did I say we were getting a standard room?" Brentley suddenly spoke up. "What? You think it's too expensive and want to back out?" Colby turned his head and asked Brentley.

"We don't get together often, so a standard room is boring. Let's go for the ultimate suite!" Brentley said leisurely. Colby was stunned by Brentley's words, and the smile on his face froze. The other students in the class were equally shocked.

"Brentley, are you crazy? Do you know the minimum spend for that suite is over ten thousand dollars?" Felicity shouted, her big, watery eyes glaring at Brentley.

"Yeah, Brentley, do you even know the rates at the Prosperity Hotel?" Colby's face turned sour. He never expected Brentley to suggest the ultimate suite. Even the VIP suite was a stretch for him!

The expression on the beautiful manager's face changed too. She hadn't expected the real wealthy one to be Brentley, who was dressed so plainly, and not Colby.

Ophelia looked Brentley up and down, her face full of confusion. She couldn't understand why Brentley, who had always been so frugal, suddenly seemed like a different person. "Brentley, can you really afford that much money?" Barrett asked, looking at Brentley.

"Of course I can, but I'm worried Colby can't," Brentley replied calmly.

Colby was taken back for a moment, then immediately shouted, "Fine, it's just an ultimate suite, right? I can afford it. If Brentley wants it, then let's get it!"

Colby was completely cornered by the crowd and couldn't admit he didn't have the money, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

The hotel manager's expression changed instantly when she realized Brentley and his friends were going for the ultimate suite. She quickly led them to the room.

Once inside, everyone looked puzzled. They couldn't understand how Brentley, who had always scraped by collecting scraps, could suddenly be so generous.

What they didn't know was that a few thousand dollars for a meal was nothing to the current Brentley Carter.

"Brentley, are you really planning to treat us to dinner here?" Taylor's tone towards Brentley had changed, and her beautiful eyes were constantly sizing him up.

"Of course, order whatever you like," Brentley replied nonchalantly. Hearing this, everyone eagerly picked up their menus and started ordering without hesitation.

During this time, Colby seemed a bit unwilling to back down and boldly ordered a bottle of wine costing over $500. To his surprise, Brentley Carter didn't bat an eye; instead, he ordered ten more bottles!

This meant an additional $5000 spent, and Colby's face turned extremely sour because he knew he didn't have enough money to cover the bill.

"Colby, why do you look so upset? Feeling a bit of regret?" Brentley turned to Colby and asked softly.

"Heh, why would I feel regret? It's just a few thousand dollars, no big deal!" Colby stammered, occasionally glancing at his phone as if he

was preparing to ask someone for a loan.

    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. It was the kind of thing that no one would believe if he told them.As he walked home, he fiddled with the new phone, exploring its features. About half an hour later, Brentley arrived home, but bef

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

Didn't you hear me?""I've already given you the money. Can I take them now?" Brentley asked quietly, trying to keep his composure.Brentley didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he had refrained from confronting Jaxson about his earlier behavior. However, the demand to lick shoes was a step too far for Brentley."Did I not make myself clear? Lick my shoes clean, and you can take them away!" It was evident that Jaxson wasn't willing to let Brentley take Farrah and Taylor so easily. Both girls were considered top-notch, and encounters like this didn't come often. Jaxson was deliberately making things difficult for Brentley. Even if Brentley did lick his shoes, Jaxson would likely find another way to humiliate him."Brentley, what are you waiting for? Just lick them so we can leave!" Taylor shouted urgently when sh

    "Your shoes are dirty?"Jaxson paused for a moment after hearing Brentley's words, then quickly understood what Brentley meant. He strode over to Brentley's position.Sitting nearby, Simeon squinted at Brentley, seemingly puzzled about the purpose of Brentley's return."Kid, did you just say your shoes are dirty?"Jaxson's gaze was provocatively fixed on Brentley. "That's right." Brentley nodded slightly."Brothers, this kid says his shoes are dirty. What should we do about it?"Jaxson suddenly shouted.With a loud clatter, seven or eight lackeys in the room rushed towards Brentley. This time, Simeon didn't stop them. In an instant, they surrounded Brentley."Young Master Carter says his shoes are dirty. What do you all mean by surrounding him like this?" At that moment, Logan stepped into the room.

Otherwise, Claire might continue to misunderstand."Brentley?"Just as Brentley stepped out of his room, he saw Phoebe coming out of the elevator with takeout in her hand."What a coincidence! Did you just get back?"Brentley glanced at Phoebe and replied softly. Today, Phoebe was dressed particularly attractively.
