TimeNovelChapter 66
I immediately said, "Alright. I'll take it."
My mom had already hired an expert to inspect the villa in advance, and
everything had already been checked out. She senttoday to pay directly and take a look at it.
But honestly, | didn't care to look. As long as she liked it, that was enough. I didn't plan on living there anyway.
Cecilia was stunned. "Are you sure you want to buy this villa? The down payment alone is 6 million dollars!"
| couldn't help but laugh. "Who makes a down payment on a villa? I'll pay in full."
There was a collective gasp from those around us. | was used to it by now. Nationally, my family might not rank
in the top ten, but in Welsington City, we were definitely among the wealthiest. | had grown up surrounded by
these envious looks and comments. It didn't fazeat all.

Cecilia stammered, "If you're paying in full, our policy offers a discount, bringing the price down to 20 million
dollars. That includes the surrounding garden and land. The villa has already undergone initial renovations, and
all the ventilation..."
Cecilia nervously began reciting the details of the property, and | found her flustered demeanor kind of cute.
However, | really didn't want to hear the same
old spiel.
"You don't need to go through the details. My family already had it inspected. Just process the payment and
transfer the ownership," | said.
"S-sure!" she stammered.
“Alright!”
Cecilia took the gold card again, looking a bit dazed as she handled the paperwork.
The way people looked atkept changing, and it was quite amusing. At first, they thought | was broke, so they
mocked and insultedfreely.
After all, it didn't cost them anything to kick someone they believed was poor. It was easy to vent frustrations on
someone they considered beneath them.
When they realized | had money, the insults stopped, and envy took its place. Swere even outright jealous.
The woman in the red dress, who had looked like she wanted to tearapart earlier, now seemed desperate to
cozy up to me.
Now that they knew | was truly wealthy, even the jealousy had vanished. All that remained was awe.
The woman in the red dress had gone from anger to pure fear-the kind of fear a lesser person naturally felt for
someone above them.

Through it all, I hadn't changed at all. | simply pulled out a gold card, showcasing the power of money. This was
the reality-the stark, brutal reality.
| recalled a saying that went something like "People scramble frantically for just a few coins, yet those coins can
ease countless worries in the world".
I had once dismissed such notions, thinking that money wasn't everything and couldn't truly influence human
emotions.
Compared to the flashy, materialistic circles of the wealthy, I longed for the warmth and sincerity found among
the poor.
After working hard to enter university and trying to blend in with ordinary people, | discovered that the
materialism of the average person was quite similar to that of the rich, perhaps even worse. Those with a little
money but not enough often looked down on others the most.
Pretending to be poor turned out to be quite amusing. | was finally starting to enjoy myself.
