Alex knows that Jasmine often acts badly towards him or says things that make him sad when his company goes bankrupt, but he assumes that it's just his wife's frustration.

He thinks that Jasmine is probably just angry for a moment because all the luxuries he once gave her have disappeared in an instant. They are struggling to live and Jasmine can't afford to squander her money anymore.

She is always getting treatments to enhance her beauty and appearance, but after Alex went bankrupt, Jasmine never went to the salon again.

Alex always tries to give Jasmine money, even if it's just a little bit every day. But apparently, Jasmine isn't satisfied with that 'little' money at all.

Of all the worst possibilities he could think of, he never thought that Jasmine would cheat on him. And to make matters worse, on the same day, she threw the divorce lawsuit in his face.

Tonight, Alex seems to be made aware of Jasmine's bad behavior.

Is he really that pathetic? Everyone hates him because of his poverty, whereas before, he was so adored because of his wealth. He had no one left except his sick daughter.

"Tsk, shit!" Alex couldn't bear to swear anymore.

Alex ruffles his shapeless hair in annoyance. He feels like punching something to vent his frustration. He feels very frustrated and disappointed with his wife's betrayal of love.

Jasmine left him for a richer man.

That woman is so matrealistic. Alex laughs. What should he do now?

Not that he wanted to beg for his wife's love, but the insult that woman had done to him really made his heart ache. Especially the scorn from the Sans family.

Alex let out a rough breath. He quickly moved from his spot before his mind exploded. Maybe he needs a breath of fresh air to calm down.

For a moment, he looks at Bianca who is still sleeping soundly behind the glass door. Alex will not be gone for long, he just wants to calm his feelings for a while.

Alex decides to go to the backyard. He zips his jacket up to his neck and walks down the hallway. The sound of his steps echoed in the deserted hospital corridor.

As expected, the backyard garden is quiet. The moon is obscured by clouds, but the hospital lights are quite helpful. Alex sits on one of the benches, unconcerned with its wet surface. He leans his head back, then begins to reflect on his sad fate.

His head ached at the thought of the $500 he had to pay off. Bianca had a respiratory infection. Thankfully, she is now on the mend thanks to quality care. However, the medical bills are also expensive.

Alex doesn't blame Bianca, he blames himself for being incompetent. With only five dollars left in his account, he didn't know where to get the money. Would anyone lend him $500 without any guarantee?

While Alex is pondering, his cell phone suddenly vibrates. It had been vibrating frequently, but there were no messages or calls. He thought it might have started to malfunction.

Alex ignores it, but then, his cell phone vibrates again. An annoyed chuckle escaped his lips. He is not in a good mood today, so why is his cell phone causing trouble?

Alex reaches into his pants pocket angrily, then opens his phone screen. His eyes narrowed to see a notification there.

'CLICK THIS LINK TO GET $1,000,005!'

What the hell, he isn't in the mood to cater to scammers' jokes.

Alex almost put his phone back, but there seems to be an urge that makes his fingers want to click on the link.

Alex doesn't really believe it, but in the end, he clicks the link.

The screen blinks, then a second later, a new notification immediately appears.

On his phone screen was a new text: 'CONGRATULATIONS, YOU'VE EARNED $1,000,005! CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT!'

Alex laughs spontaneously. This must be a joke. It can't be real, right? Who would send $1,000,005 for free just for clicking a link?

"It must be a hoax," Alex muttered. "Besides, why would I waste my time with that link?"

Suddenly, a new notification came back to Alex's phone. His eyes widened at the statement that appeared. It said that his account had received one million dollars.

Seriously, this is crazy, Alex thought.

He immediately checks his account and can't believe his own eyes. His account is completely topped up. His hands are shaking so badly that he puts his cell phone down on the bench.

"Oh my god! This is crazy. It's unbelievable." Alex couldn't stop saying that sentence.

Is he dreaming? It is definitely a dream.

Alex slaps himself in the face, hard enough that a ring escapes his lips. Heat and stinging spread across his cheeks, but he still can't believe it when he looks at his phone screen.

This is crazy!

Really crazy!

Absolutely crazy!

And he isn't dreaming.

Alex checked his phone once more and he almost screamed.

"This is crazy!" Alex muttered before he could control his sanity.

Alex sits back on the bench and takes a deep breath repeatedly. Until his emotions calmed down, until his mind no longer felt like it might explode.

He reaches for his cell phone beside him and checks his account for the third time.

An unbelievable feeling of excitement instantly came over him.

This is hard to believe, but it's the truth.

A million dollars is not a small amount of money, he can buy a luxury house, a luxury car, rebuild his property company, and do other fun things.

Alex's smile can't help but widen as he imagines how he would reply to the Sans family's insults to him. Jasmine, Anne, Victor, and John. They should all have their insults returned.

He can directly pay for his daughter's medical expenses.

When Alex is busy thinking about many things, a voice interrupts all the fantasies in his mind. He He looks around the courtyard of the sacred house, but there is no one here.

The voice came back. Alex straightens up and listens to the voice. The voice is like a grown man's, but the tone is stiff like a robot.

"You must spend the money within seven days, otherwise you will die!" The words resonated in Alex's ears.

It is dominated by a faintly glowing blue light. An inscription slowly appeared there.There is a prompt to fill in his full identity. Starting from name, date of birth, parents' names, full address, family members, blood type, and other things related to Alex's life."Fill in everything to advance to the next level! You'll get more rewards!"The adult male voice came back. The tone is cheerful, but there is still a command there.Alex is silent for a moment, debating whether or not to fill in his full identity.

    A cold breeze blew in carrying the falling snowflakes, lightly brushing the side of Alex's face.A pinch of hair that Alex had neatly combed back, again fell across his forehead.

The race was said to be held every 10 years and could only be participated in by players who were in the 50s and above.That's why Alex was asked to join by his supervisor.Alex stepped closer and a system panel floating in the air instantly displayed his face."Participant number 20: Alexander Gates has arrived!"

If they don't get a loan soon, their house will be seized as collateral."Come on Bastian! Are you waiting for us to get beat up by the banker's assistant?"Bastian let out a harsh sigh and finally reached for his cell phone. "Yes, yes, please be quiet.

Lucia anxiously cried out the child's name, her tears falling at Bianca's feet.Alex couldn't describe how he felt right now. He was terrified at the thought of what was going to happen. Cold sweat ran down his body. His legs were shaking so badly that he couldn't even stand up.
