WISH TO BE RICH RACHAEL WHYTE
Because the only people who know of Abraham's relationship with the Cross family are the main family members themselves or very close and trustworthy friends, there's no risk in having Abraham pretend to be his sponsor. He has been the one communicating with the school for anything relating to Johnathan's enrollment anyway so it makes sense for him to be his sponsor. Also, Johnathan wouldn't be the only student in Wellstone who's there thanks to a sponsor as it'll be impossible for the thousands of students there to all come from affluent families. Those students with sponsors are treated better than those on scholarships, also known as Welfies. Because the students don't reveal who their sponsors are, the students from rich families don't go about being obvious with their discriminations and the reason is that they can never tell if the sponsors are people more important and influential than their families. If they are then it would be bad if the sponsors decide to go after their

"What's up my foot! Why have you been ignoring my calls since yesterday?!" Shirley said then pulled Rachael's ear."Ouch, Shirley, you're hurting me. Please stop or else you'll rip it off" Rachael complained and Shirley let go after holding on for two more seconds."Did you enjoy your lesson? Next time I call you you better answer, got it?!" Shirley asked and Rachael rubbed her ear which was red and hot at the moment."I said did you hear me?!" Shirley asked more aggressively."Yes, I have so please calm down. You get angry too quickly, don't you know it's not good for you? You'll ruin your good looks if you continue with this behavior" Rachael mumbled, thinking she was being discreet with it but she didn't realize that Shirley was close enough to hear.When she realized, her eyes widened and she shut up, slowly turned to face Shirley who had her fist balled up and glaring at her."What did you just say to me?" Shirley asked threateningly.Rachael gulped and smiled nervously "Nothing.

Shirley chuckled at the secretary.“Even I had the same thought when I heard the name for the first time but you’ll be mistaken. This Johnathan doesn’t belong to that Cross family. They just have the same last name, that’s all” Shirley said and the secretary grimaced.“Are you sure about that?” She asked.“Of course ma, this Johnathan is one of the students on Welfare. Besides, wouldn’t you of all people know if someone from that family is enrolled in Wellstone?” Shirley asked and the secretary thought about it.The secretary nodded her head and said “You’re right. I would have been amongst the first set of people to know if someone like that was schooling here”Shirley smiled “You see, so there’s nothing to worry about—“ she said but the secretary cut her off.“But what you said about this student being on scholarship, that’s also hard to believe,” the secretary said and Shirley looked confused.“Excuse me ma but what do you mean by that? Why can’t he be one of the students on schola
WISH TO BE RICH CALL SECURITY
After years of schooling in Primrose and the awful treatment and disrespect he got there, Johnathan's senses have become keen to pick up when someone is being rude or disrespectful to him.From the expression the receptionist had and the tone of voice she spoke to him with, Johnathan knew instantly that she was being rude.However, he has never been to a shop such as this so he had second thoughts about her intentions and felt like maybe her response was because he didn't introduce himself first and just went straight to asking for the manager of the place.Maybe she's the one who he's supposed to do business with so asking for someone else might have been disrespectful on his part. He honestly doesn't know."Sorry if I wasn't in order. My name is Jonathan and I would like to speak to whoever is in charge of selling the cars. I would like to buy one" Johnathan said then smiled.In his head, he had fixed the problem so there shouldn't be any issues with the receptionist anymore.The re

The receptionist guided Abraham and his security to the cars on display while saying "I'm the receptionist but I also work as the primary sales associate here. It's my job to get you the car of your dream"They approached the first car in the lineup and she smirked."I'm sure money is no concern of yours so we'll be starting with this. This is the McLaren P1 and as you can see it's the color black like what these fine gentlemen who came with you have on" The receptionist said then chuckled but Abraham and his men looked serious and uninterested in her jokes.The receptionist gulped and blinked her eyes rapidly when her joke wasn't received as much as she wanted it to be. It wasn't received well at all.They walked over to the next car in the line "You look like a man of class and style so if you didn't like the P1 then you might fall in love with The McLaren Speedtail. This is a car made for speed just like how you are made for business, sir"The receptionist smirked but Abraham's emp

The glare the owner of the dealership was giving her was that of pure hatred and it made Mirabel worried about what she could have possibly done to deserve that."Boss, what's going on? Why are all of you acting weird?" Mirabel asked.The owner growled in rage then he got up, walked up to her, and then delivered a dirty slap on her face.The slap was so powerful that not only did her lip get bruised, the ribbon she used to tie her hair in a ponytail came off and her hair fell.Mirabel touched her hot and red cheek with the wrist of her hand holding the glass cup and she looked extremely lost as to why she was just slapped."Boss, what did I do to—" She asked but the owner cut her off."Come here you fool!" The owner said aggressively then grabbed her by the ear and started pulling her towards Johnathan.Mirabel winced and complained, dropping the wine bottle and glass on the floor and both breaking into pieces on impact.When they were close enough, the owner tossed her to Johnathan's
WISH TO BE RICH SUCCUBUS
Mirabel's heart dropped and her stomach churned when she heard what Johnathan said. She groveled at Johnathan's feet and wept."Please Sir, forgive me! I never meant to disrespect you the way I did. If only I had known who you were from the beginning then I wouldn't have said all those rude things I did or sent the security to throw you out. Please show mercy on this fool sir" Mirabel begged.Johnathan looked down at her and crossed his arms.He said "So you're saying you only changed your outlook because you found out my identity? Where was this treatment when I spoke to you the first time?""That's a huge mistake on my part sir. I've learned my lesson now and I will never make another grave error like this ever again" Mirabel said as she ugly cried.Her eyes watered and her nose had snot coming out. She wasn't even swallowing her saliva and it was coming out as drool. She was more focused on getting Johnathan to forgive her than on how she looked right now."I've been working here
WISH TO BE RICH CUSTOMIZATIONS
Inside the dealership's main garage, Johnathan went straight to telling the owner the brand of the two cars he wants."Where's your Pagani and Lamborghini collections?" Johnathan asked and the dealership's owner took them to the end of the lineup of cars"Because most of the customers we've had are rich but not your level of rich, boss, we arrange the cars based on how expensive they are. We go from the least to the most. I know what a man of your stature likes which is why you deserve to drive the best of the best" the dealership's owner said then they stopped walking and Johnathan saw the cars in a row.This wasn't exactly a collection of the cars Johnathan had stated but a collection of the most expensive cars in the entire dealership.There were different brands in front of Johnathan but these were the most expensive of each brand and they were all in black or white.It didn't take long before Johnathan saw the exact models of the two cars he wanted to buy and when he checked the

The paramedic who had the syringe in his hand paused, jaw dropped, leaning back and filled with utter confusion.Anthony who was seeing all of this instantly got a look of disgust aimed at Franklin and what he just did."What the hell is wrong with you? Why would you do that, take away the only thing that’s saving your life right now?!" Anthony asked while he grimaced.He pulled himself away from Franklin and then with the anger still in him but now also mixed with a state of confusion, he pushed a weakened Franklin to the ground."Just what the hell do you want from me?!" Anthony yelled in an exasperated manner, looking down at Franklin who was holding on to his neck and trying to breathe in as much air as he possibly could.Contrary to being the one who had inflicted pain on everyone else, physically or otherwise, Anthony looked like he was in more agony than anyone else, huffing and trying to find a way to get calm."Alright you fool, that's enough from you.

Chaos ran wild as many of the patients in the main entrance of The Meteor Garden hospital scattered for either their safety or as a knee-jerk response to Anthony and Franklin.Some were patients with high sensitivity like epilepsy, autism, or Tourette so the sudden act of violence was enough to trigger them.Being among the few staff there and a proactive one at that, the nurse behind the counter hurriedly grabbed the landline and put out a call."Can we get some medics over here in the main area, right now?! We need as much help as possible with handling the patients and also to put a stop to a visitor who's gone crazy!" she yelled into the mouthpiece then slammed the landline back on itself.The nurses were able to get to the more mentally balanced patients who only fell to the floor while trying to move away from Anthony and Franklin.As for those currently going crazy, they needed more serious help from the paramedics who were able-bodied enough to appropriately handle the situati

["Hello? Who is this?"] Finally, after three attempts his call was answered."This is Anthony, Mr's Faller. I was just calling to see how Samuel was doing" he sat in the bed with his shoes off but still had his casino dealer outfit on.["Umm, he's fine. It's already way past his bedtime so he should be in bed sleeping. Is anything the matter?"]After hearing this, Anthony second-guessed himself on if Samuel was okay or not.Anthony thought that he might just be worrying for nothing. "It's nothing, I just wanted to call since it's been a while since I last did, that's all" he smiled["It has been a minute since you called but honestly I can't blame you, not when you and my husband have something so serious like Ama— Oh, sorry I mentioned that"] she covered her mouth.Anthony chuckled as a way to lighten the mood "You don't have to be ma, I also know how this has shaken your family so don't hold yourself on my account. I'll be just fine" he smiled["I'm glad to hear that and you make su

'The features, the resemblance, it's all so uncanny' Even in the intensity of the reproach, a conflicting thought lingered in Franklin's mind as he stared at Anthony.Anthony's face didn't undergo any negative changes after being accused, he remained as unfazed and stoic as ever "What are you talking about Sir, cheating in what game?""Don't play dumb with me kid, the others may have been too distracted to notice but I had my eyes on you the entire time and I know sleight of hand when I see it. Nothing can escape these trained eyes of mine" Franklin said."Okay sir, sounds like you're talking about a magic show you must have gone to. Sleight of hand? How does that have anything to do with me, a simple part-timer?" Anthony scrunched his eyebrows, tilting his head to the left."Why you!" Franklin exclaimed, smacking his tongue afterward.'Who is this kid? He couldn't be him could he?' Franklin's glare became even more intense and with that, it was evident that he wasn't going to back do

Since the beginning, the manager had had his head bowed ever so slightly that it looked like he had a slouch but in truth, he didn't ("Oh, one last thing. Always remember to lower your head when in the presence of these guests.") The manager told Anthony during the interview but Anthony responded with silence at the time.The manager took that as compliance but he was wrong as he has been glaring at Anthony but Anthony wasn't lowering his head to the guests. Instead, he was looking them straight in the eyes.Angry at Anthony, the manager wanted to address the topic but couldn't in their presence so he would have to remain quiet about it until they leave.However, what he didn't expect was that both VIPs didn't seem bothered about Anthony not acting overly subservient around them. They were even more accepting of him than the manager had calculated, especially from the man on the left."So how did you get so skilled in cards kid? You also gamble a lot?" Asked the VIP on the left, puffi

"Ah! I caught you!" Exclaimed a panting voiceSeeing Samuel getting shoved and falling towards the street, Anthony screamed out his name, reflexively reaching out with one of his hands even though the distance between them was too great that he wouldn't even be able to do anything.The driver of the incoming truck panicked and smashed the brakes as hard as he could.Unfortunately, the distance between them was so small that their impact was certain, but still, he tried. The truck's tires skid forward, about to hit Samuel while at the other side of the road Anthony watched, unable to do anything.Suddenly, his eyes flicked to a few meters behind Samuel where he saw a man, an aged man in a carton brown pants suit, reaching out for Samuel.Everything happened so fast that before Anthony knew it the aged man had grabbed onto Samuel's wrist, then pulled the preteen towards himself.*VROOM*The truck passed, nobody was hit and the person on the passenger seat, whose heart felt like it was

Outside the Grand Blue Restaurant, Anthony brought out the ID card to stare at it, about to make a left turn into the next road."Who could have thought that this tiny thing would mean the difference between being jobless and under the control of my f*cking in-laws and now having part-time jobs in three different locations? I could have gotten my share of her hospital bills already if I had just done this since day one" he mumbled, finally turning the corner He scoffed "I guess it all happened for a reason because I wouldn't be trying to regain my power if I ha—" out of nowhere, a kid ran into him and fell to the ground."Ouch, my butt!" The kid complained, wincing and rubbing his butt "Why don't you watch where you're walking Mr." The kid yelled, not even looking up to see who he was talking to"Huh? What the hell did you just say to me you stupid brat?!" Anthony was furious, glaring at the kid who finally looked up at him and saw who he had just run into.Instantly he shriveled, sm

He picked up his ID card, not caring about what she had going on beside him."Okay, good luck with that" he started heading for the exit but…"Good thing you said that because you're the one who's gonna need it" she smirked and he stopped with his hand on the knob, turning around to face her."What's that supposed to mean?!" He asked with a frown, sensing that what she said was a threat.She got up, walked back to her seat, and sat down without any restraint that it almost broke the spring in the seat.She continued stuffing her mouth with her food while glaring evilly at Anthony."What did you mean by t—" he asked again but then she interrupted him."Since you're looking to work for a restaurant of this level, you should also know that there are benefits or I should say, connections, that being the manager has presented me with. Businessmen, lawyers, doctors, politicians, Mobsters, and even families in the Hierarchy all pay a whopping amount of money just to reserve seats around my t
