At The Brown Family estate:
“Mom, Dad, we’re back!” Tian called out, handing his coat to the maid as he and Violet walked into the living room.
“Hm, did you win anything at the auction today?” Owen asked casually.
“Dad, some major things happened today, and we need to have a serious talk.” Tian sat Violet down on the couch across from their father. Violet was still in a daze—unsure if she was simply overwhelmed with happiness or still trying to process everything that had happened. Paisley noticed her daughter's absent-minded expression and gently tapped her shoulder. “Violet, are you okay?”
“She’s still floating in her bubble of happiness!” Tian teased, sipping his tea. “Not as good as the tea at Hunzhi, though.”
“Well, of course not! Hunzhi serves premium Da Hong Pao tea that costs millions per ounce. This is just ordinary tea! There&rsqu
“Old man, what’s going on with you?” Paisley could tell Owen was upset.“What do you mean? I just don’t want Violet associating with someone who’s not serious about her! People like that are only interested in getting close to Violet because they’re after our family’s wealth!”“Owen!!!!” Paisley suddenly shouted, startling Tian, Owen, and even the maids in the room.The maids thought to themselves, *Uh-oh, the mistress is about to explode!*“Dear... you...”“What do you mean ‘you’? Don’t think I don’t see through your little scheme. What’s this nonsense about him wanting our family’s wealth? The Brown Family’s wealth might not even compare to that boy’s fortune! If you’re so rich, why didn’t you donate 100 billion for your daughter? Why didn’t you represent our family’s businesses and donate 900 billion? Now that our daughter has grown up and found a boy she likes, I fully support her pursuing her happiness. We’ve always believed in social standing being important for marriage, and fr
A bracelet-like object appeared on Willy's wrist, slightly lighter than gold with a purple ornament. Willy pressed the ornament, which popped open to reveal a small red, square-shaped medicinal substance. This was the fabled Restoration Ointment. He removed one piece and then pressed the purple ornament back, retrieving another piece.Willy remembered that this substance needed to be diluted with water and could also be mixed with other medicinal ingredients. It seemed like he would need to learn more about herbs. If he could combine the ointment with some health remedies and sell it to the market and hospitals, he’d be raking in gold.As Willy was lost in his thoughts, dreaming of success, his phone rang. Seeing who was calling, he couldn’t help but smile.“Hello, Violet! What a pleasant surprise to hear from you so early!”“Hehe, of course, I wanted to say thank you! By the way, my mom wants to invite you over for dinner today. Are you free?”“I’m free! What time...?”“Come by at 4
Standing at the entrance of The Brown Family estate, Willy suddenly felt nervous.“Come on, let’s go. What’s wrong?” Violet asked as she noticed Willy hesitating.“Nothing, just… let’s go inside. We should let the staff take the gifts in first,” Willy said, trying to compose himself. He picked up the tea, the two watches, and the Hermès Tanaka Ginza bag—these were the gifts specifically for Violet’s family, and he wanted to make a good impression.As they entered the mansion, Willy couldn’t help but admire the estate. The Brown Family home was a three-story villa, covering more than 1,200 square meters. In the backyard was a clean swimming pool, and the rooftop terrace was lush with greenery. The surrounding area was designed to feel like a tropical rainforest, giving the place a warm and inviting atmosphere.“Mom, Dad! I brought Willy!” Violet called out as they walked through the door.“Oh, you’re back! Willy, come in, have a seat!” Tian came down from upstairs, approaching Willy wi
"Olivia! Why are you doing this to me? For the past three or four years, I've given you everything! I've saved every penny, handed all my money over to you just to show you my sincerity! Why would you leave me for this man?!"The boy clung to the girl's hand, pointing at the fat middle-aged man standing beside her, his emotions completely out of control."Slap!"Willy Morgan looked on in disbelief as Olivia ruthlessly swatted his hand away."Don't touch me! Willy Morgan, let me tell you something! You're nothing but an ordinary college classmate to me! All the money and time you've spent on me mean nothing. The man I love is right here, Joseph Moore! So you'd better be polite to me and keep your hands to yourself!"Willy Morgan's eyes welled up with tears as he watched his girlfriend of three years fall into another man's arms."No! You're lying to me!""Lying to you? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you're worth lying to? Look at you—no skills, no money, already graduate
Willy Morgan stood soaking wet at the entrance of the Fendi store."Sir, you…?""I just got drenched by the rain. I need to buy some clothes, preferably something I can change into right away. You know, it’s really uncomfortable when wet clothes stick to your body.""Oh, I see! Please come in." The sales assistant naturally couldn't turn away a customer, even though this one didn’t seem very well-dressed…"Darling, does this look good?" From a distance, Willy Morgan could hear Olivia's coquettish voice. Following the sound, he turned and found himself face-to-face with Olivia."Willy Morgan! I told you not to follow me! How dare you show up here!" Olivia shouted.Willy Morgan turned his face away, pretending not to hear, and continued browsing through the clothes."Are you ignoring me on purpose?!" Olivia stormed over to him, but Willy Morgan continued to treat her like she was invisible."Assistant, you’d better be careful not to let someone with only twenty or thirty bucks in their
"Miss, this bag is priced at $264,000! You have a great eye—this bag's design and materials are top-notch. The color matches you perfectly, and the designer of the bag is the same as the one who created the outfit you just bought. Pairing them together will make you look even more youthful and radiant," the sales assistant's words brought a smile to Olivia's face."Darling, it's only a bit over $260,000. That’s not expensive! Buy it for me right now!" Olivia demanded from Joseph Moore in an entitled tone.Joseph Moore felt a surge of dissatisfaction. He hadn’t intended to spoil Olivia like a kept woman. He had only agreed to take her out for a meal and buy a few things because she seemed pitiful—just graduated from college with no job or savings. When Olivia had told him her ex-boyfriend was pestering her, his protective instincts kicked in. But now, seeing Olivia's insatiable greed, his anger flared.Meanwhile, Willy Morgan calculated that he was still $80,000 or $90,000 short of com
Willy Morgan couldn't care less about what others thought. He circled around the Ferrari supercar, growing more and more fond of it with each step. Glancing at the license plate, he was surprised to see that it read LA77777."What a badass license plate! Hahaha!" He took out the key and pressed it lightly, and the car's lights blinked twice. Willy hurriedly climbed into the driver’s seat."Hahaha, I've finally got a car!" It all felt like a dream to Willy Morgan—everything had happened so suddenly!"System! Are you really real?""Of course.""Praise the heavens! Hahaha!" Willy chanted as he inserted the key, ignited the engine, and with a roar, the Ferrari sped off.Driving through the streets of Los Angeles, Willy Morgan felt for the first time that life could actually be this exciting.Willy Morgan had grown up in an orphanage. Once he learned he was an orphan, he became hopeless about the future. Even though he had been bullied and humiliated since childhood, he chose to endure it
“Waahhh! Mommy, please stop hitting me!” The child was bawling, his cries filled with anguish as his mother’s slaps landed on his bottom.“You made a huge mistake! Do you realize how expensive this car is? How could you be so careless!” The woman’s scolding left the child too scared to say anything, his tears streaming down his face.“Sir, I’m really sorry. Look at this car… How can we compensate you? It’s my fault! I wasn’t watching my child closely enough! I’m so sorry!” The woman apologized repeatedly, visibly shaken by the situation.Willy Morgan sighed in resignation. He knew that everyone living in this area was struggling financially. Forcing a poor person to sell their home or land to cover the repair costs of his car would be pushing them into a desperate situation, something he didn’t want to do.Willy asked the system in his mind, “System, does this car have insurance?”“The items provided to the host by the system come with a full package, including the highest level of in
