They Will All Bow To Me!

De Scripter
At graduation, Michael Scofield planned the perfect proposal. But instead of applause, he got laughter. In front of the entire campus, his girlfriend, Jane Scott, sneered at his cheap clothes and broke his heart. “Do you really think love can buy happiness?” she said. “Even my handbag costs more than you’ll ever earn!” Humiliated and crushed, Michael walked away in silence as Jane threw herself into the arms of her new billionaire boyfriend. What she didn’t know was—Michael wasn’t poor. For years, he’d lived under a strict family rule: stay hidden until graduation. No money. No help. No special treatment. But tonight, that rule ends. Because the boy she mocked is the sole heir to an empire that controls 70% of the world’s wealth. And when the truth comes out, the girl who looked down on him, the crowd who laughed at him, and the elites who called him trash—will all bow before him.
