Chapter 1 - Five million in the account

A dressed in a light blue shirt and worn-out jeans walked through the campus of Sunshine City University. His eyes were frequently looking. on the ground, as if searching for something.The boy had decent looks, but his clothes seemed like they hadn't been washed in ages. The black stains on his cuffs were particularly noticeable. Passing students looked at him with disdain, avoiding him as if he was a plague.Willson jacks seemed accustomed to these looks. With a calm expression, he headed towards a discarded water bottle by the roadside."Ring, ring!"An old Nokia phone suddenly rang.Willson jacks quickly took out his phone and answered the call."Hello?""Is this willson jacks, Young Master jacks?" A d"Is this willson jacks, Young Master jacks?" A deep, steady voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone and spoke without hurry."I'm willson jacks, but I'm not Young Master jacks..." willson replied, puzzled."Young Master jacks, there's an inheritance that you need to claim. Do you have time today?" The middle-aged man's tone was respectful."Heh, I have an inheritance to claim?" Willson chuckled, his tone filled with helplessness. "Buddy, I think you have the wrong guy. My family is all gone. I'm an orphan. Where would I get an inheritance?""Young Master jacks, I..."Willson jacks didn't wait for the explanation and hung up the phone, shaking his head lightly. "These scammers are getting really idle. I don't even have fifty bucks on me, and they think they can trick me? claiming I have an inheritance? my parents have been dead for years..."Just then, Willson's phone rang again!Without thinking, Brentley hit the reject button and walked towards a nearby water bottle. He was worried that if he delayed, the old man who collected recycled stuff at school might snatch it up."Snap!"As willson bent down to pick up the bottle, a red high heel stepped on it.Instinctively, willson paused and looked up along the slender, beautiful leg. What he saw was a tall, sexy girl with a stunning figure.The girl had light makeup on her delicate face, wore a black tight-fitting T-shirt that perfectly outlined her chest, and a black denim mini-skirt that hugged her shapely hips. Her long, fair legs ended in a pair of red high heels, making her look incredibly alluring."Ophelia, you... what are you doing here?"Willson jack's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the girl.The girl standing before him was none other than his girlfriend, Ophelia."Willson , why are you picking up trash again? Do you really want to spend your life as a worthless trash picker?" Ophelia's pretty face turned cold, and she scolded willson without any mercy, her brows furrowing deeply."I..." willson opened his mouth to explain."What's there to explain? Forget it. If you want to pick up trash, I can't stop you. But from today on, we're breaking up. I don't want someone like you to be a stain on my life," Ophelia shouted at willson with a look of utter disgust."Break up?" Willson froze the moment he heard Ophelia's words, his eyes wide with shock."Ophelia, you can't be serious, right?" Willson asked in a low voice, staring directly at Ophelia in front of him."Serious? Do you think I'd joke with someone like you?" Ophelia sneered."Why would you want to break up out of the blue?" Willson finally realized that Ophelia wasn't joking; she was dead serious."Why? Because you're broke, just a poor guy who picks up trash!" Ophelia looked down at Brentley with disdain, giving him a once over before continuing, "willson did you really think I wanted to be with you forever? Take a good look at yourself. Do you think you deserve me? You can't give me what I want!"Willson stared at Ophelia, his eyes empty. Deep down, he had already guessed the reason, but he couldn't accept that his girlfriend of nearly three years was leaving him over money."Willson , I'm officially telling you now that we have no relationship from this moment on. I hope you don't bother me anymore!"With that, Ophelia turned and started to walk away. willson quickly stepped forward, trying to stop her, but just then, a young man emerged from behind Ophelia. He lifted his leg and kicked Willson hard in the stomach."James, "willson took two steps back, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the young man beside Ophelia.Ophelia skill fully hooked her arm around jame's, her voice dripping with sweetness. "Willson This is my new boyfriend, james He's better looking than you, richer than you, and knows how to have fun. Only someone like him deserves me, Ophelia!"Willson stared at James. Although james was average-looking, he was a wealthy heir in their class. It was clear that Ophelia had left him for james because of his money."Willson from today on, Ophelia is my girlfriend. If I catch you bothering her again, I'll break one of your legs. Got it?"James stepped forward, his tone arrogant as he addressed Willson jacks gritted his teeth and remained silent. He knew that james not only had money but also connections with some gangs. If he really offended James , the consequences would be disastrous."Darling, don't waste your time with this kind of person. Let's go!"At that moment, Ophelia nestled into james's arms and whispered."You little vixen, can't wait to get a room with me, huh?"James couldn't help but chuckle. He then pulled out a few red bills from his pocket and waved them in front of willson . "Willson , I remember you would do anything for money, right? Here's fifty bucks. Go to the pharmacy and buy us a box of condoms; we'll need them later..."Ophelia's eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment at James 's words, but she said nothing. Willson 's eyes burned willson eyes burned with anger as he looked at the money in james's hand.He had been with Ophelia for over three years, and he hadn't even held her hand, let alone gotten a room with her! But now, Ophelia and James had only been together for a few days, and they were already getting a room!And James had the audacity to ask him to buy them condoms, treating him as if he was nothing!By now, the area was crowded with students, all of whom By now, the area was crowded with students, all of whom were watching willson with expressions of disdain, as if he were the punchline of a cruel joke.After all, nothing seemed more pitiful than what had just happened.But what they didn't know was that the most sad part wasn't James asking Willson to buy him condoms. It was the fact that Willson was actually tempted by the cash in James hand!If Willson could get that money, he could finally pay his rent."So, what's it gonna be? Are you going or not? If you don't, I'll just find someone else!" James asked with a mocking smile. Willson hesitated for a couple of seconds, then turned his icy gaze towards Ophelia. "Ophelia, I hope you never regret your decision today!""Regret? Regret what? Regret breaking up with a poor loser like you?" Ophelia scoffed coldly.Taking a deep breath, Willson didn't even think twice before turning and walking away, disappearing from everyone's sight.After leaving the university, Willson returned alone to the small apartment he rented off-campus.Since he had to work at a bar at night and wouldn't get off until around 2 am, when the dorms were already locked, he had rented a place for himself. Though the room was barely the size of a bathroom, it was enough for him.Back in his room, memories of his time with Ophelia flooded his mind. Their once passionate promises now seemed laughable. When Willson first met Ophelia, she was a kind and innocent girl. Everyone else looked down on Willson, but Ophelia had always stood by his side.However, in the two years since they arrived at Sunshine City University, Ophelia's outlook had changed as she met more people. Willson had long sensed that Ophelia would break up with him, but he never imagined she would do it so heartlessly.When Willson was young, his family was quite well-off. The jacks Family was a prominent family in their area. Both of Willson parents held high positions in the family business. Although they weren't among the super-rich, compared to James family, the jack were very wealthy.However, when Willson turned fifteen, his parents died in an accident. The rest of the Jack Family saw Willson as a thorn in their side, and eventually, he was forced to leave and fend for himself.To pay for his tuition and living expenses, Willson took on any job he could find, no matter how dirty or exhausting. During the day, he would collect bottles, and at night, he worked as a waiter at a bar near his school.His classmates constantly humiliated him, but Willson didn't care as long as Ophelia was by his side. However, now even Ophelia had left him.Willson lay on his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. He couldn't find any meaning in his life anymore."Ding!"Just then, the sound of a text message notification broke the silence.Willson blinked in surprise and picked up his phone, giving it a quick glance. When he saw the message, he froze, his face showing utter shock."Your account ending in 6174 has received a deposit of $5,000,000.00. Your new balance is $5,000,025.00."Willson quickly sat up, staring at his phone in disbelief."Five million... This must be some kind of joke!"He looked at the message, his mind filled with confusion."Bang! Bang! Bang!"Before Willson 

 could make sense of the message, there was a sudden, urgent knock on the door.
