Chapter 160
Zack and Veronica suddenly started being nice tobecause they thought | was from a wealthy family. So, their
habit of kissing up to the wealthy while looking down on others hadn't changed.
| shrugged. "That one million? Most of it is gone. I've got about three or four thousand left."
Veronica's eyes widened. "Oh my goodness! You won over a million dollars and only have three or four thousand
left? You really know how to burn through money!"
Louis sneered. "What do you expect? Someone like him has probably never seen that much money in his life. Of
course, he would blow it all, pretending to be rich. It's just the kind of life he's destined to live-always mediocre!"
"Exactly! Honey, if you had that million, you would invest it in a business. In a few months, you would have
doubled it. Give it a year or two, and you would be a millionaire! Giving it to him is such a waste."
| couldn't help but chuckle at their confidence. Who gave them the delusion that starting a business guaranteed
success?
If it were that easy, someone else would have already done it. They were living in a fantasy.

As they kept taking jabs at me, | didn't bother responding, but Felicia couldn't stand it any longer. She stepped in
to defend me. "Have you said enough? It's William's money. He can spend it however he wants. Who are you to
lecture him? Mind your own business! Con, William. Let's go."
"Wow!"
Seeing Felicia stand up forclearly irritated them.
Plenty of men in our department had a crush on her, and both Louis and Zack had always looked at her with a
mix of admiration and desire. They couldn't take it lightly because their "damsel" defendedand even scolded
them for my sake.
Veronica suddenly smirked and said, "Felicia, what's the rush? Did you know that your mother is about to arrive
in Welsington City?"
Felicia frowned. "I know. But how do you?"
Veronica chuckled. "How do | know? Your mother doesn't even know how to buy a ticket, let alone find her way
around here. She called my mother earlier for help.
"My mother tried explaining over the phone but gave up. So now, she's coming here with your mother to guide
her and visitwhile she's at it."
"Oh... Well, helpthank your mom, then."
Despite how annoying Veronica was, her mother sounded kind enough. Felicia softly expressed her gratitude.
But Veronica wasn't done. "A simple 'thank you' isn't enough! Show ssincerity!"
"Sincerity?" Felicia looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"ou."
Before Veronica could start making outrageous demands, | cut in. "That's easy. When they both arrive, I'll cover
their hotel costs. How's that for sincerity?"
Since most people at school knew that Felicia had made tens of thousands through live streaming, | figured that
Veronica might be interested in that money.
| wasn't about to let her take advantage, so | volunteered to handle it myself.
Veronica, however, frowned at my offer.

"My mother isn't just anyone. She's at the top management level. Felicia's mother might be a poor farmer, but
my mother deserves a
high standard of hospitality!"
Inwardly, | scoffed. High standards, huh? Her pompous tone almost madelaugh out loud.
Instead of wasting energy arguing
simply replied, "Don't worry. If you
can find a single fault with the hotel | book, I'll let you pick any hotel in Welsington City at my expense."
Louis snorted. "Bold claims, William. If | didn't know better, | would think that you were srich heir."
Veronica looked skeptical. "Really? Fine. Let's see what you can cup with!"
