It was evident that Zachary's clothes were much cheaper than Kash's, consisting of just a T-shirt and shorts. Zachary seemed comfortable in his attire, but Kash's comment made him aware of the contrast between them. It also made him realize that he hadn't changed his style even though he was the heir.
In any case, Zachary had no intention of changing his style anytime soon.Paige recognized Zachary and expressed her surprise, "I remember this guy. Is he a target of the Nathanael bullies?"Kash sneered and said, "Yeah, that's him. Unfortunately, he spent his money foolishly, and now he's back to being a poor guy. A cleaner."Zachary replied, "I'm not an employee here."Kash looked surprised and asked, "Then why are you here? Are you looking to buy an apartment? Even if you had a few thousand dollars left, you wouldn't be able to afford an apartment here. Do you understand?"As a result, Kash asserts that Zachary is an idiot for wasting scholarship and not awareness the value of a luxury apartment.Kash's embarrassment quickly turned into confidence as he laid eyes on Zachary."Can you please ask him to leave? He's just wasting everyone's time," he said, determined to save face in front of his girlfriend. "I know him. He's caused trouble in other places before. It's clear he's not well-off. Just look at how he's dressed." The employee nodded and walked over to Zachary, politely requesting that he leave the area."I want to buy a villa," Zachary said to the employee.The salesperson looked at Zachary in disbelief. "I'm sorry, but the cheapest villa in this area is worth three million dollars. I'm sure that's not within your budget."Kash sneered and added, "You're just wasting our time. If you couldn't even afford a luxury apartment, how could you afford a villa?"Zachary remained composed and replied, "I know what I can afford."Kash turned to the salesperson and said, "Don't waste your time on this guy. He's just trying to show off. He doesn't have the money to buy anything here."The salesperson nodded in agreement and added, "I'm sorry, sir, but if you're not here to purchase anything, I'll have to ask you to leave now."Despite the increasing hostility, Zachary remained calm. "I hope you can understand that I'm here to buy a villa," he said, hoping to defuse the situation.The salesperson grew increasingly impatient and decided to call the security guard. "Can you please come to the model display? We have someone here who's causing trouble and refusing to leave," the salesperson said over the phone before turning his attention back to Zachary.After being asked to leave, Zachary took out his phone and called the butler. He asked the butler to help him purchase the villa near his university in this estate dealership. He knew the salesperson was skeptical of his ability to buy a property and that his butler could help him resolve the situation.Kash spoke up when Zachary hung up the phone after calling his butler. "Do you think you're filming a movie, Zachary? Calling to brag and expecting a bunch of people to come and protect you?" he said, with a sneer on his face.Paige chimed in, "Maybe if you're willing to cut the act, Zachary, you'll make it in the real world."The salesperson and other staff at the display were also annoyed by Zachary's stubbornness in trying to stay. "We advise you to leave before security arrives, Zachary. It's better for your own sake," the salesperson said, hoping to avoid further conflict.Zachary remained calm and composed in the face of their taunts, knowing he had the means to back up his words. He smiled and replied, "I understand your concerns, but I'm not going anywhere until my purchase is complete."As the tension between Zachary and the salesperson continued to escalate, two security guards arrived at the display and quickly caught sight of Zachary. As they approached him, one of the guards muttered under his breath, "I'm so tired of dealing with these types of delusional people. Just last month, we had to deal with two other individuals who were harassing."The other guard nodded in agreement, having seen similar situations play out in the past.The guard approached him and prepared to escort him out of the area, but the estate manager suddenly appeared before he could do so."Stop!" the manager said firmly. "What is going on here?"The salesperson explained the situation, but the manager's expression quickly turned to anger as he listened. "You mean to tell me that you doubted a serious buyer and called security to remove him from the display?" the manager said in disbelief.The salesperson hung his head in shame as the manager continued. "Do you know how much this estate depends on sales like these? We cannot afford to turn away serious buyers and treat them with disrespect."The salesperson tried to defend his actions. "But sir, he didn't look like he could afford anything here. I thought he was wasting our time," he said, but the manager was not swayed."In case you were not aware, we recently received full payment for a villa worth eight million dollars, and the buyer was none other than Mr. Zachary here. He is one of our most valued clients, and you have treated him with disrespect and mistrust," the manager said firmly.The manager then made a decision. "I'm afraid I will have to let you go, effective immediately. We do not tolerate this kind of behavior in our establishment."After firing the salesperson, he left the display looking embarrassed and ashamed. The estate manager turned to Zachary and apologized for the inconvenience.As the estate manager finished speaking, Kash's face fell. He felt anger and humiliation, but he knew nothing he could do. He didn't want to stay any longer and was eager to leave as soon as possible.Kash turned to Paige and whispered, "I don't know where Zachary's money comes from, but it won't last long. He's just a flash in the pan. Until then, I'll prove that the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor."Kash and Paige quickly left the display. However, the manager's words lingered in their minds, leaving them feeling embarrassed and humiliated.The city's annual Economic Summit is a glamorous event that attracts students, business leaders, and the elite. While it's meant to be an informative and educational conference, the focus on appearance has become overwhelming recently, with attendees feeling pressure to wear expensive and luxurious outfits in order to appear successful and influential.A white, luxurious tablecloth drapes over a round table, with a few wine glasses poised atop it. Nathanael Chapman's group of friends gather around the table, their laughter and conversation filling the air as they enjoy their drinks together. "It's wonderful; let's give it our all today. Request a few more bottles of whisky." From head to toe, Nathanael Chapman is always dressed in expensive, branded clothing. Nathanael Chapman waved his hand in refusal: "Wait, everyone. Let's stop drinking for a moment and play some games. It's not fun if we drink too much before the party starts." One of Nathanael Chapman's trusted friends, sitt
As Nathanael spoke, the crowd grew more and more suspicious of Zachary. They murmured amongst themselves, trying to make sense of the situation. The MC girl also looked uneasy as she tried to figure out how this young man, who seemed so poor and out of place, could have just placed such a large bid. The MC girl asked, her voice trembling slightly. "May I ask your name, please?" Zachary stepped forward with a smirk on his face. "I'm Zachary. Yeah, I'm a poor student. But fortunately, I just won six million dollars in the lottery," he said As soon as Zachary spoke, the room erupted in laughter. People snickered and chuckled, exchanging amused glances with each other. However, Nathanael's expression was stone-cold. He stood there, seething with anger, as he realized that he had been humiliated in front of everyone. "This is a joke, right?" Nathanael spat out, his voice filled with disdain. "You expect us to believe that you just won six million dollars in the lottery?" Zachary smile
The following day, when Zachary walked through the schoolyard to class, he heard someone call out his name. “Zach!”It was Kolby."At the event yesterday, Nathanael got arrested for embezzlement. It was all over the news this morning," Kolby said, looking both surprised and amused.Zachary felt a wave of relief wash over him. After everything Nathanael had put him through, it was almost satisfying to see him finally get what he deserved. "Well, he had it coming," Zachary said, trying to keep the satisfaction out of his voice.Kolby looked at Zachary curiously. "Hey, by the way, why would you spend five million dollars on something like that yesterday? If I were you, I wouldn't even go to university anymore," he said, his voice tinged with disbelief.Zachary just smiled enigmatically, refusing to answer. He knew that Kolby wouldn't understand the true significance of his purchase. "I had my reasons," he said simply.Kolby shook his head, still looking confused. "Well, whatever. Do you
Zachary stumbled over his words, caught off guard by Griffin's sudden appearance. "Uh, no, I was just looking for the restroom," he finally managed to say, gesturing toward the door behind him. Rolling his eyes, Griffin turned to Emma. "Let's get back to the party," he said. As Griffin turned to leave, Emma's expression quickly shifted to annoyance as she caught sight of Zachary, and she turned around to follow Griffin without saying a word. Zachary quickly left the restroom and returned to the main hall. The party was in full swing, with guests mingling and chatting as they enjoyed the festivities. Suddenly, there was a commotion near the entrance as Kash stormed into the room, his eyes locked on Zachary. "You liar!" he shouted, pointing an accusing finger at Zachary. "You think you can fool everyone with your little act, but I know the truth!" Everyone turned to look at Zachary, who looked taken aback by the sudden outburst. "What are you talking about?" he asked, clearly confu
When he had money, these things that Zachary never dared to try in the past became easy all of a sudden. He made the decision to head to a small restaurant near the school alone. But as soon as he entered, his heart sank. The door swung open violently, and a gang of street punks barged in. These men were menacing, adorned with intimidating tattoos and scars etched across their faces."Who's Zachary?" one of them shouted.The rough-looking men's sudden intrusion into the restaurant caused the guests to become frightened, and they quickly moved back, with whispered expressions of fear and concern spreading throughout the room.Zachary was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the street punks. Fearing for the safety of others in the restaurant, he stood up from his seat with a solemn expression, bracing himself for whatever may come.The street punk stepped forward, a menacing scowl on his face. "Zachary," he growled. "We have orders to teach you a lesson. Someone wants to make sure y
Zachary protested, "I'm a VIP guest in this restaurant.""A VIP guest?" Ava snorted, "I've never seen you here before."Zachary faced Ava and replied, "Yes, that may be true, but it doesn't mean I'm not a VIP guest. This is my first visit here, but I have a close relationship with the owner."One of Ava's friends interrupted, "Please, we're not going to believe that.""You're always pretending to be someone you're not, Zachary. You act like you're wealthy and know all these famous people. It's getting old," Tyller, one of Ava's friends, said.The waiter appeared hesitant, looking uncertain. "I don't remember seeing you here, sir. I can't confirm your status as a VIP guest."Zachary grew impatient, "Just check your records, please."The waiter nodded and went to check. Meanwhile, Ava and her friends continued to giggle and throw cruel remarks.Ava smirked, "Looks like someone's trying too hard."Zachary stayed quiet, uninterested in responding to Ava's insults. He waited patiently for
Zachary turned his head to see who it was and saw Quilly looking at him curiously. As Quilly approached Zachary's table, Tyller immediately saw her stunning features. She had long, lustrous dark hair that cascaded down her back in gentle waves. Her high cheekbones were perfectly defined, accentuated by her flawless, olive-toned complexion. Her piercing green eyes seemed to sparkle with intelligence and curiosity. Quilly noticed that Tyller was staring at her and felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking he was scrutinizing her with ill intentions. "It's nothing, Quilly. Just a little commotion, but I'm helping everyone have a good time with a free meal, except for them," Zachary replied. Ava said, "You don't have to do that. We can eat ten meals like this, and you probably saved up all your money to do this once." Tyller tried to join in on teasing Zachary, but his mind was still focused on Quilly. He was really impressed and fond of her, but with the current situation, he couldn't appro
But Quilly still felt anxious, Tyller was a very aggressive person, and he was also rude. If he didn't give up, Quilly's messages could make him angry, and he might be able to find and attack her! Thinking about this, Quilly felt uneasy and messaged Zachary: "Hey, I feel like Tyller won't easily let me go, do you have any ideas?" Quilly had just sent that message to Zachary when she suddenly saw Tyller outside her window. Quilly was startled, she dropped her phone onto the bed. But what could he do? Tyller couldn't do anything since this was Quilly's house. "I know you're in there; please come out." Tyller shouted from outside. "What do you want? Don't do anything bad, I warn you." Quilly raised her voice. "I just want to talk; I'm a polite person; why do you think I want to do anything?" Tyller raised his hands, laughing. "I'm sorry, I don't want to talk to you; I'm not interested; I already have a boyfriend." Quilly's opposition only made Tyller more stubborn. "Don't jok
