CHAPTER 1

"I have explained it many times. I am an orphan and have no relatives. How can I inherit a so-called huge inheritance?"

"Besides, I am a poor, and deceiving me is just a waste of time for you!"

"I'm busy at work, please you and your 'colleagues' stop harassing me, or I’ll call the police!"

At the entrance of the Eden Grand Hotel, Caleb King, wearing a red uniform, hung up the phone impatiently and blocked the number.

It was already the tenth scam call he had received since this morning! .

What’s wrong with these phone scammers? Why insist on deceiving a poor guy who is deeply in debt?

Even their excuses for deceiving him were just as lame and stupid! How can an orphan get a huge inheritance of more than one trillion dollars?

What a ridiculous trick!

"But if I had a trillion dollars, I would definitely buy the Eden Grand Hotel and have good time in the most expensive presidential suite with Tracy!"

Looking up at the splendid Eden Hotel, Caleb murmured enviously.

It is the most luxurious hotel in Los Santiago, and the cheapest room costs at least three hundred dollars a night.

His innocent girlfriend Tracy had always dreamed that she could have a long-term residence in Eden and enjoy the most delicious dishes and the best hotel services there.

But unfortunately, he was just an orphan, relying on an anonymous philanthropist to support his college education, balancing his daily expenses by delivering food part-time, and cannot afford her wishes for the time being.

His short-term goal was to save $5,000 this year to surprise Tracy on Christmas Eve and spend a wonderful night in Eden with her.

"Ding--"

While Caleb was standing outside the hotel, lost in his beautiful fantasy, his phone rang.

It was the takeout timeout reminder he set in advance!

"Damn! It's timed out!"

He immediately threw all daydreaming out of his mind and hurried into the hotel.

... ...

"Sir, your takeaway has arrived."

Five minutes later, Caleb stood at the door of room 1408, panting, knocking on the door.

Damn hotel manager! He was not even allowed to take the lift!

If he bought the hotel, the first thing he would do must be firing this annoying manager!

"coming!"

The guest room door opened, and Caleb was stunned when he saw a man and a woman in the room.

The man who opened the door was a middle-aged man with a big belly. The gold chain around his neck and the expensive watch on his wrist all showed his status as a wealthy man.

Caleb didn't recognize him.

But behind him, the beauty with a hot figure wearing a sexy uniform turned out to be Caleb's girlfriend - Tracy!

Boom!

The takeaway food Caleb was holding fell to the ground in an instant!

When he saw the takeaway dropped on the ground, the middle-aged man became furious and started to curse.

However, Tracy behind him shouted in surprise while seeing Caleb, interrupting him.

"Caleb! You...why are you here?"

After hearing her words, the expression on the middle-aged man's face became very playful, and he looked Caleb up and down.

Caleb is tall and thin, with handsome appearance. Although he was wearing an ugly delivery uniform, his temperament cannot be concealed.

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with jealousy and he mocked.

"Sweetie, it turns out that your good-for-nothing boyfriend is a takeout delivery guy. Since he is your boyfriend, I won't complain about him ruining my takeout later."

He had sex with Caleb's girlfriend and was discovered by Caleb, but this man didn't panic at all.

Because he knew that Caleb was a poor student, and he didn't dare to offend him!

Caleb looked at Tracy angrily.

"Tracy, we started dating when we were freshmen in college, and it's been almost three years now!"

"In the past three years, I have worked hard part-time and tried my best to satisfy you; I have studied hard and always wished to build a beautiful family with you after graduation."

"But why? Why did you betray me? When I was working hard, you slept with this man in the hotel? Even a potbellied man like a goblin!"

As his true feelings were shown, Caleb felt that his efforts for her were not worth it, and the anger in his eyes was burning more and more.

The beautiful and sexy Tracy was a little ashamed at first, but soon she became arrogant and said confidently.

"Humph, you ask me why? Look at yourself, wearing a uniform, earning that meager salary through wind and rain. Can you support the two of us? Can you afford my consumption?"

Then, she pointed at the middle-aged man and said with admiration instead.

"Alex Smith is a successful businessman with his own company and makes millions of dollars a month! Whatever luxury items I want, he buys them for me. I told him I wanted to live in Eden for a few days, he made the reservation in less than ten minutes. And what about you?"

Caleb smiled bitterly, "It turns out it's because of money. I originally thought you hadn't fallen into the current money worship like those golden diggers..."

"Because I'm poor, you betray me with confidence and play with my feelings at will?"

He clenched his fists and stared at Tracy, waiting for an explanation.

It seemed that she felt a little uncomfortable with his penetrating gaze, Tracy explained.

"Alex and I have been together for more than three years! If it were not because he liked to fuck other’s girlfriend, and you happened to pursue me and you were handsome enough, I would never have agreed to date a poor guy like you! If you still want a truth, strictly speaking, you are the third person among us!"

"Despicable and mean couple! You bitch and son of bitch!" Caleb gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Hearing this, Alex didn't care at all, but said arrogantly.

"Meanness is the pass for the mean; and nobility is the epitaph of the noble. The rules of this society are to serve the rich, boy! Because I am richer than you, your beloved girlfriend acts like a bitch in heat.”

While smiling lustfully, he held Tracy in his arms unscrupulously and gave her a hard kiss.

As if to cater to Alex's perverted fetish, she gasped and responded passionately.

After a few seconds, both of them looked at Caleb with arrogance, one proud and the other disdainful.

Caleb was so angry that he wanted to become a 'butcher' and kill the two despicable bitches!

However, he failed. He failed to be a real 'butcher', instead, he seemed much more like 

Butcher in the Black Watchmen.

As soon as he took a step forward, Alex was frightened and took a few steps back.

After all, although Caleb looked thin, long-term physical labor had made his body full of strength, whom was not that simple to fight with by someone like a 'Goblin'.

Tracy also stood up at the right time and stood in front of him to prevent Caleb from using violence against her cash cow.

"Caleb, you can't fight Alex! Otherwise, there will no longer be a place for you in this city!"

Her harsh words also calmed Caleb down a bit. He looked at them, loosened his fists little by little, and finally said something.

"You two will pay the price for this in the future!"

After saying that, Caleb turned and left.

"Pay for the price? The price is to stay away from an incompetent waste as you forever!"

Tracy looked at his back and shouted loudly, her voice echoing in the hotel corridor...

After leaving the hotel, Caleb returned to his off-campus rental house.

Because he often needed to work part-time, for convenience and not to disturb his roommates, he rented a room in an old apartment closest to the school.

Lying on the bed, sweet scenes of dating Tracy appeared in his mind, but the truth told him that it was all false!

How ridiculous! He was manipulated by a woman!

He stared at the ceiling blankly, and suddenly felt that he had no motivation and goal to live actively.

He felt a little confused...

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly sounded a text message notification tone.

Caleb was stunned for a moment, then randomly opened his phone and took a glance. When he saw the content of the text message, his eyes widened and he fell into extreme shock.

""Notification from Bank of Los Santiago: Your account has been credited with $ 5,000,000 on 19th, July. If you have any questions, please contact customer service.""

Caleb immediately sat up and looked at the text message excitedly.

"OMG! Five million! Is this a joke that others made on me?" He murmured to himself in disbelief.

Bang bang bang!

Before he could figure out the origin of this text message, there was a rapid knock on the door.
