Chapter 3
For the next few days, Shayla and Aaron would share photos of their trips around the world on Instagram. Their photos were overflowing with luxury goods. It seemed that besides the mortgage, the two had taken plenty of other loans as well.
Well, the higher they stand, the harder they fall.
They each sent me plenty of photos, but I blocked them without hesitation.
For the past few days, I’ve been busy. After all, working at a Global 500 company wasn’t something to be taken lightly.
Before I officially started, my team leader had sent me a ton of materials, asking me to review them as soon as possible.
On the day of our graduation party, Shayla, as the class president, sent a text to the group chat. “Please arrive at the designated restaurant at 11:30 am sharp to attend the graduation party.”
After that, she also tagged me specifically. “Bella, I can’t w…
I immediately replied, “Okay.”
to see you!”
Some started asking why she wanted us to gather at this restaurant for lunch. After all, its location was a little far from our university.
I was the only one who knew the reason. It was because the restaurant was right next to the lottery shop.
At 11:30 am, after all our lecturers and classmates had arrived, Shayla finally showed up, hand in hand with Aaron.
The moment they stepped in, everyone’s gaze was drawn to them. By now, the two of them had completely transformed, exuding luxury from head to toe. Shayla even gifted each of our classmates a Labubu.
After that, she exclaimed, “Everyone, order whatever you like tonight. The bill is on me!”
The rest of the classmates stared at them, bewildered. In fact, some even suspected the Labubus that she gifted them were dupes.
Shayla fished the lottery ticket out of her bag and waved it in front of everyone smugly.
“I won 50 million dollars!” she declared.
Hearing that, everyone erupted.
“50 million dollars!”
“Did I hear correctly? Shayla got damn lucky.”
“Gosh, I’ll never make 50 million dollars in this lifetime.”
As if that wasn’t enough, she also put up a massive banner in the restaurant saying, “Congratulations to Shayla Lane for winning 50 million dollars!”
Right then, a lecturer suddenly asked, “The lottery ticket is with you and hasn’t been drawn yet. Where did you get the money from?*
Shayla replied nonchalantly, “I’ll get the money soon. I’m just enjoying it in advance.”
In the crowd, someone suddenly asked, “Wait, isn’t Aaron dating Bella? Why is he with Shayla now?”
Faced the crowd’s confused stares, Aaron held Shayla’s hand without a trace of embarrassment. He said, “People naturally go for the best, right? After graduation, Bella has just been an overworked mule. Shay is different from her. Besides, my true love has always been Shay ”
Everyone gaped in disbelief at his words.

One classmate stood up for me. “But Bella got an offer from a Global 500 company. That’s the best offer in our entire batch.”
Hearing that, Shayla laughed so hard that she was nearly in tears.
She said, “So, what if Bella got the best offer? Can she earn 50 million dollars in this lifetime? In this society, getting a job means nothing, it only proves you’re a workhorse in a glamorous setting. In reality, you’re worse off than livestock!”
She shot me a smug look and added, “Bella, you’re beneath me in every way. But, if you cater to me well, I might just be generous enough to throw you a bone.”
