Chapter 1
"Wake up!" A cold voice rang out in Chuck Cannon's ear. The next second, the blanket on him was completely lifted.
Chuck rubbed his eyes and looked at the woman. He breathed and felt a little uncomfortable.
The beautiful woman in front of him was Yvette Jordan, who was four or five years older than Chuck. She was adopted by Chuck's grandfather and groomed to be his bride since young.
But since his grandfather's death, his attitude towards Chuck has gotten worse.
"You useless trash, your face even pisses me off!" Yvette's pretty face was full of disgust.
"…." - ".Chuck frowned and decided not to remember Yvette's words.
"Let me tell you, I've done my best to support you. If you don't behave well, I'll kick you out of this house".
Chuck put on his clothes and clenched his fists.
"But you're my wife!"
"No, no. Your grandfather forced me to marry you. Did he ever ask me if I agreed? How can I marry a useless person like you!"
Chuck put on his clothes and stood in front of Yvette. "Wives..."
"Don't call me wife. I'll warn you one last time. The money you used to eat and drink is now mine. If you dare to call me wife, I will let you die on the streets" Yvette let out a cold snort and looked at Chuck with disdain. "But I'm sure trash like you won't be able to last long on the streets".
Ever since grandfather left, such humiliation was no longer foreign to Chuck. Her fragile self-esteem is almost destroyed by Yvette. Sometimes Chuck doubts that he's really trash.
"Um, wife... Yvette, I don't have any money".
Chuck took a deep breath. He's a freshman this year, and Yvette isn't just a university lecturer, he's also the owner of that company. He is a rich man.
"Look at yourself, you look like a beggar. It's disgusting!". Yvette looked at Chuck with annoyance. Then he took out 200 dollars from his bag and threw it on the ground. Then he turned and left.
Seeing the money on the ground, Chuck clenched his fists.
In the end, he did not take the money on the ground. He walked out of the house with the rest of his pride.
BMW Yvette drove out of the garage as Chuck stood by the roadside and watched. He was at the same university as Yvette, so they headed in the same direction.
However, Yvette's car does not stop but drives past Chuck.
"Get out of here and take the bus. A piece of trash isn't worth my car for". After saying that, Yvette stepped on the gas pedal and left.
Chuck gritted his teeth and looked at the disappeared BMW at the end of the road. His eyes are a little red. "Yvette, you've gone too far".
He has no money now. His lunch money today was borrowed from his classmates, and today was the day to return the money. Unfortunately, those two hundred dollars were too "burdening", and he couldn't take it.
When she arrives at school, her worst fears come true.
As soon as he walks to the school gate, Chuck happens to run into a student who lends him money.
Lara Jean was buying milk tea outside the school gate. When he saw Chuck, who was in a state of loss, he reached out and said, "Chuck, it's time to give me my money back, isn't it?"
Chuck wanted to bury himself in shame. He scratched his hair and said shyly, "Alright, give me one more day, I'll do a part-time job. I'll return your money by tomorrow at the latest!"
"No, how long have you been delaying! You must return the money to me today!" Lara said coldly, and there was no room for negotiation in her tone.
Chuck sighed. "But I don't have any money right now"
"You don't have any money? Don't you have parents to ask for it? Are you an orphan?"
"You!" Chuck clenched his hands tightly. Throughout his memory, he lived with his grandfather. However, being called an orphan by Lara made him even more uncomfortable.
"You're really an orphan? Well, I'll give you an extension until this afternoon, but you'll have to pay me four hundred. If you don't pay me back, I'll ask my girlfriend to bring someone to deal with you" Lara warned and left.
Chuck stood still in his tracks. He's very sad. He had enough with such humiliation.
As Chuck was thinking about what part-time job he was going to do, his phone rang.
Chuck looks at the caller ID and sees that it turns out to be a foreign number. He was afraid it might be a fraud.
However, when he thought of online mercenary recruitment in Syria which was quite popular recently, offering 8,000 dollars a day, he became interested again. Although he knew it could be a scam, if it was true, he would definitely go to Syria without hesitation.
"Hello" said Chuck
Unexpectedly, a spate of Chinese words from the other end of the phone, "Chucky, I'm your mother!"
Chuck's surprised. He first felt that he had been made fun of by others, but then he felt very sad. How could she have a mother?
"Chucky, don't blame me. I had no choice but to go abroad these years, but now I can finally return home. I'll try my best to make up for lost time with you. I'll transfer five million dollars and you can use it first. If all is up, call me".
The strange conversation ended in a strange atmosphere. As soon as the call ends, a message comes in.
'Your account with the final number 0123 has been credited with 5,000,000 dollars and the current balance is 5,000,000.83 dollars".
Chuck's dumbfounded. His mother, whom he had never seen before, actually gave him five million dollars?"
He looked at text messages and calculated zeros, over and over again, repeatedly confirming more than a dozen times, and then went to the ATM to check if it was true. He's so happy!
That's five million!
Moreover, his mysterious mother who casually gave him pocket money. Even Yvette who is busy with her business has less than a million dollars including her car and her savings!
Chuck giggled and walked to the campus.
At this moment, Yvette, who went to the public building for class, said with disdain after seeing Chuck, "why aren't you in class but instead laughed here stupidly?"
"I'm not going to class anymore", Chuck stood in his place and watched Yvette quietly.
Yvette felt a little strange. He seemed to see a look of confidence in Chuck's eyes. Isn't he still a useless piece of trash? How dare he argue with her? Yvette's furious. "How dare you talk back to me? If you have the guts, don't come to my house today".
Chuck is also tired of being treated coldly by Yvette. He said in disdain, "I won't be back, I'll sleep somewhere else"
"Is this a joke? Now that I have five million dollars, I don't need to see Yvette's unhappy face anymore" Chuck thought to himself.
"You! It's great! I want to see how brave you are. From now on, if you dare to enter my house, I will break your legs!"
Chuck ignores Yvette and immediately turns around and leaves the school.
Yvette stomped her feet furiously, but she couldn't do anything about it, so she turned around and went to class.
Chuck, who has left school, takes a taxi to a real estate agent downtown.
With that kind of money, the first thing Chuck wanted to do was to own his own house.
After pushing the door open and in, the real estate agent's employees did not notice Chuck, who was plain dressed. This kind of person is either looking for a part-time job, begging for food, or the type of person who is interested in buying anything but just trying to enjoy an air-conditioned room.
Then, as the store manager walked out of the office, the lazy employee rushed over and asked, "Sir, what do you want?"
"I want to buy a house"
"To buy a house?" Natalie Xavier's big eyes narrowed. He looked at Chuck carefully for a long time. He has been a real estate agent for so long, but he rarely misjudges someone.
There may be one in a thousand customers who will buy a home in less than 20 years of age like Chuck, but all of them wear branded suits and drive high-end sports cars.
“Pak, for information, the cheapest house in the city is about 12,000 per square meter.
Are you sure you want to buy it? Natalie did not want to waste time on this kind of person, so her tone became impatient.
