Harold handed his car key to a classmate and swiftly made his way to sit in the front passenger seat of Oliver’s car.
In the back seat, Yves and Isabel were still engaged in their lovey-dovey conversation, completely oblivious to Oliver in the driver’s seat.
It was not until Harold got in that Yves asked him, “Why are you here too? Aren’t you driving?”
Harold chuckled and replied, “Let the others drive. I’m here to accompany and protect you both.”
Yves gave him a thumbs-up and said, “You’re a true best friend, Harold. I got you covered for your wedding car. Aren’t these Cullinan and Mercedes-Benz AMG G63 impressive? When it’s your turn to get married, I’ll arrange 18 luxury cars for you, too, just like mine. Only you and I have that level of prestige and capability in our class!”
Harold laughed heartily and took out his phone. Then he said to Oliver, “Oliver, let’s exchange WhatsApp contacts. I’ll add you to our class group chat.”
“Oliver?”
Both Yves and Isabel were taken aback. They turned their gaze to Oliver in the driver’s seat. Indeed, it was him!
Isabel could not hold back any longer. “Oliver, is this necessary? Even if we had a history together, it’s all in the past! We exist in completely different worlds. My social circle and friends all belong to the upper class of society. I genuinely hold you in low regard. So please, don’t appear in front of me again, okay?”
Yves joined in the attack after Isabel. “Oliver, I didn’t even invite you here. What’s the point of making a spectacle? I drove a BMW X5 worth over 200 thousand dollars. You could never afford a car like mine even if you worked your whole life, let alone the luxurious villa in Juset Riveria Residences. We didn’t add you to our class group because you’re the poorest and least capable. Seriously…”
“Hey, Yves, don’t say that.”
Harold waved his hand, adding Oliver on WhatsApp as he spoke. “I can vouch for Oliver. He didn’t come here to cause trouble or bother Isabel. He’s just driving.”
“Driving?” Yves and Isabel’s eyes widened as they finally grasped the situation. They looked at Oliver in the driver’s seat and contemplated the matter.
Isabel might not understand the difference between the Mercedes-Benz S450 and Yves’ BMW X5, but Yves did. The Mercedes-Benz-S450 was a higher-class car, priced around 60 thousand dollars or more than his BMW X5.
However, Yves did not believe for a second that Oliver could afford such a car. He could not resist mocking him, “Hey, are you a driver for some boss? Did you earn 600 dollars or 1,000 dollars a month for being a driver?”
Oliver smiled but did not respond.
Yves, however, was not about to let him off the hook. He continued to mock Oliver, “As the saying goes, suitability is crucial for success. Can you even compare your monthly income with mine? Since you’ve shown up with this car, you can leave once we reach the hotel. I’ll have someone give you a monetary gift. How about that?”
Although surprised at first, Yves felt a sense of satisfaction. As a rich kid, he needed poor people like Oliver to serve as a contrast and highlight his superiority.
Meanwhile, Harold added Oliver to the class group chat. His face beamed with a mischievous smile, letting Yves and Isabel poke fun at Oliver relentlessly.
After adding Oliver to the group chat, Harold sent another message: [Welcome our old classmate Oliver to the group! Let’s have some monetary gift from Oliver!]
[Oliver? The one who wore the same patched clothes in high school for three years?]
[The Oliver that dated Isabel for a year?]
[Oh, come on. Harold wants Oliver to give out monetary gifts? I’m afraid he could only afford to give you a few pennies.]
As soon as Harold sent the message, the group chat exploded in response.
Oliver thought for a moment and looked at the total number of people in the group. There were 36 people. Then he replied: [Okay, since it’s Yves’ wedding day, I’ll send a few monetary gifts to liven up the mood.]
With 36 people in the group, Oliver decided to send a monetary gift to 35 of them, excluding himself. The total amount for 35 people was 1,400 dollars. He proceeded to enter the numbers and password to send the gifts out.
He sent out 20 monetary gifts in a row, totaling 28 thousand dollars.
At first, some classmates scoffed at his reply. But when they opened the gift and saw thousands of dollars inside, they could not help but exclaim in surprise.
In an instant, everyone in the group chat went crazy about the monetary gifts and tried to get one for themselves. However,
there was no need to fight over them because Oliver had sent one to every person.
Some monetary gifts contained a few dollars. Some had tens of dollars, while others had hundreds of dollars. However, the majority of them were worth over 20 dollars. After all 20 gifts, the lowest amount someone received in total was over 600 dollars, while the highest was nearly 2,000 dollars.
The group exploded with excitement. Everyone forgot about Yves’ wedding and started chattering.
[Wow! Oliver is so generous. Where did you make a fortune?]
[Did you win 1 million dollars in the lottery?]
Even Yves and Isabel in the backseat were stunned by the amount of money they had gotten from the monetary gifts.
Isabel was lucky. She managed to get 1,955 dollars from the 20 monetary gifts, while Yves only managed to get 780 dollars.
Harold successfully grabbed 1,765 dollars. At this point, Harold did not doubt that Oliver had made a fortune.
Yves shook his head to regain his senses. He looked at Oliver doubtfully and asked, “Oliver, did you really win the lottery?”
Sending out 20 monetary gifts worth 1,400 dollars each, totaling 28 thousand dollars, was not something that Yves and Harold had the confidence to do so either. They could show off by giving away a few hundred dollars but giving away around 20 thousand dollars or so was beyond their capability.
Their families were well-off, but that was all their fathers’ hard-earned money. Besides, although their net worth was over 2 million dollars, the actual cash they could take out of their pockets was probably
around 200 thousand dollars or so at
most.
Oliver replied casually, “I’ve never bought any lottery tickets. I’m just running a small business. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
”
At that moment, some in the group spoke up again: [Oliver, be generous and send a few more monetary gifts to congratulate Yves and Isabel on their wedding!]
Oliver replied: [Sure, let’s send another 28 thousand dollars as a monetary gift to celebrate. I’ll also cover the expenses for Yves and Isabel’s wedding at the hotel. I wish them a happy marriage!]
As soon as he finished typing, Oliver swiftly sent out another round of 20 monetary gifts with 1,400 dollars each, which totaled up to another 28 thousand dollars!
After that, Oliver made a phone call to Fabian. “Fabian, go to Happiness Hotel and pay for Yves and Isabel’s wedding expenses. Consider it my wedding gift to them!”
The most effective approach to dealing with these pretentious and snobbish classmates was to confront them directly with money!
What was a few tens of thousands of dollars to Oliver anyway?
Yves’ head was buzzing as he grabbed the monetary gift.
Isabel has also managed to grab about 1,800 dollars. She stared at Oliver and asked, “What… did you do?”
Harold finally turned his head around and revealed to Yves and Isabel, “Yves, Isabel, Oliver has made a fortune in the jade stone and jadeite business. He opens a large company at Gerton Plaza. And oh, by the way, those six best luxury cars you have today? They all belong to Oliver!”
“Those luxury cars belong to Oliver?”
Yves and Isabel were surprised again!
Harold smirked. “Yves, you should ask Stella if you want to know more about it. She sold the cars to Oliver!”
