“If you tell him to leave just like that, where will he go?” Mollie questioned Ben. “You have a job, and you have a family. When you get sick, you have people to take care of you. But what about Ulmer? He’s also my grandson just like you. Do you think I’ll let you be left in the streets if the same thing were to happen to you?”Ben frowned from hearing that. “But if he’s here, he’s only going to cause friction in the house.”“The one who attacked him was your mom, and she got hurt by slapping him,” Mollie reminded him. “Who’s fault is that?”Ben’s frown deepened. He then looked at his sister. “Why did you scream like that?”“U-Uh, he sprayed the disinfectant on my feet on purpose, Brother,” Ruth quickly but hesitantly said.“So? You scream that loudly?” Ben growled at her. “What are you? A kid?”Because Ben also got sprayed, on his face at that, and didn’t scream that much at all, Ruth couldn’t talk back right now. “Y-You’re a man. You don’t know about women.”“Hmph, that pathetic exc
“Ulmer, don’t leave!” Mollie went after him. “If you leave, I won’t be able to forgive myself.”“I’m not going anywhere, Grandma,” Ulmer said. “I’m just getting some fresh air.”“Oh…” Mollie was relieved to hear that. She was glad that he didn’t take Ivy’s words to heart. “You’ve got a strong mind… like your dad.”Ulmer didn’t say anything. He sat under a tree and looked at the birds that were sitting on the tree.“Why didn’t you tell them about your job?” Mollie couldn’t help but ask him. “They would have been more accepting if they knew that information.”“I want them to accept me, not my job,” Ulmer replied.Mollie’s mouth turned down a little. (He must be really feeling alone for him to say something like that.)Ulmer’s clone had all the time in the world. His plan was to take care of his grandmother until the real one returned, so staying with her was necessary for him. But, at the same time, Ulmer also wanted to see how Jamie and his family would handle him. That’s why he was pu
In Bronich city, where Jamie and his family lived.Ulmer’s clone went out that day, making Ivy and others wonder if he had gone out to get a job for himself.Ben and his mom, however, were more worried about making up for the mistake that Ivy had made in treating her to-be-in-laws. And they were thinking of many plans to set things right.Jamie also gave his inputs, but Ivy didn’t consider them. She only listened to her own thoughts or to the ideas given by her son.At some point, Jamie didn’t bother giving them any help anymore and minded his own business, even though he also was very much interested in becoming related to the multi-millionaires as that would give a big boost to his reputation.Somewhere else in the city.Ulmer stopped in front of the Drevon Bank, a multi-national bank with a net worth close to 300 billion dollars.Every car that was stopping by the bank was a luxury car of some kind, and the people were all wearing top-class dresses.Drevon bank was also called the
The CEO of Drevon bank was a 22-year-old short-haired blonde Ririka. In terms of looks, age, and salary, she didn’t have an equal in the country, or so she believed.As she entered the branch building, everyone bowed to her whether they be the receptionists or the bank employees. She didn’t take time to respond to their gestures, but she did care and also required them to give her that much respect and attention as part of the work culture.Ririka went to the thirtieth floor, where the manager greeted her and wished her happy friendship day. He tried to put a friendship band around Ririka’s wrist, but she politely refused him and then went to her room.After sitting in her chair, she breathed a bit more freely. “Friendship day… I can’t think of a single friend who I want to be around. They are all opportunistic trash. Why can’t I find good friends? Is it because I’m born in this banking family? I see so many movie plots with best friends growing up together, so why don’t I have any su
Ulmer was still outside the building. The guards were getting annoyed by his presence now.Ulmer had given the bouquet to the receptionist when she came out of the building, and he even gave her a hundred dollars to make sure she’d deliver the bouquet to the top floor.“What’s taking her so long?” Ulmer wondered. “She saw the card, right? It’s not a trash card, right?”[Have some patience, Ulmer.] Dove said. [Why don’t you sit on that bench and wait a few more minutes?]Ulmer sighed and then went over to the bench. It was a glass bench with flowery designs on it. He sat there.A few seconds passed.Two young ladies passing by saw him and crossed the road and sat on the bench and were smiling at him.Ulmer acted like he didn’t see them.“100 dollars each, and you can have us come to your room,” one of the women said. “We’ll do you full service. Anything you want.”They began to tempt Ulmer by kissing each other in public. The guards were turned on by what these women were doing.Ulmer,
After testing the purity of the gold coin and passing, Ririka wasn’t too surprised because Ulmer’s demeanor was not like that of a regular citizen. It wasn’t arrogant but more along the lines of confidence.“There are a hundred coins in this pouch, which will add up to 400,000 dollars,” Ririka said hesitantly. “That’s still not enough to open an account as it requires at least a million dollars to maintain the account, sir.”“Is that so?” Ulmer then waved his hand, and a dozen more pouches fell on the desk.Ririka’s heart jumped into her throat. “Where did you take these bags out from?”“I have an invisible storage that you can’t see,” Ulmer replied. “It’s still too soon to be surprised. Together, these bags will amount to nearly 5 million dollars, right?”“Uh, ah, yes, sir,” Ririka took a few seconds to check the bags. It wasn’t her first time seeing that much gold, but still the manner in which she saw it far exceeded all her precious experiences.Ririka didn’t take long to get Ulme
Ulmer toured around the Bronich city for hours and eventually found a beautiful home that was up for sale.It was a house with twelve rooms and a spacious lawn and backyard. The house itself didn’t have multiple floors, but it would be more than enough for Ulmer and his family to live.It was priced at 1.1 million dollars, but Ulmer tried to bargain for it. And so he was asked to wait for another week since the auction would start. Not wanting to wait for so long, Ulmer decided to give advance.The price of the house in the auction might go higher than 1.1 million, so Ulmer paid 300,000 dollars in advance with the condition that he’d pay the remaining 800,000 dollars in the next sixty days. If he were to fail to pay the full money in time, the advance he gave wouldn’t be returned to him.Ulmer could have paid the full amount, but he believed that he’d earn some interest for that 800,000 dollars if he were to keep it in the bank for two more months. It would be close to six thousand do
Rick and Richard news, also known as R&R news, was a media company that was soaring to greater heights lately.“In the last year itself, they saw a growth of seventeen percent, Mom, which is massive,” Ben was telling his family members while Jamie was driving the family car Kia Seltos worth about 30,000 dollars.“So, what’s their company’s net worth?” Ivy curiously asked.“Almost 150 million dollars, I believe,” Ben replied, pleasantly surprising her.“Does that mean the Richard family has more than the company?” Ivy quickly queried.“I don’t know their family’s net worth, but they’re definitely past that hundred million mark,” Ben explained. “I mean, the car that Amelia uses is an Aston Martin worth nearly 200 grand.”“Hahaha,” Ivy started laughing. “I’ve never sat in a car worth more than 100 grand. I can’t wait for this new experience I’m going to get.”Even Ruth was getting excited. Their family was by no means poor. They were in the upper middle class, but they never had the zeal
