The Surprise Gazillionaire

Lights flashed, and deafening music blasted over the speakers in a nightclub filled with the mingled scent of liquor and perfume. Scantily clad women were gyrating to the beat on the dance floor. Dustin Clay had been working at this nightclub for close to a month. He was in his junior year of university, so he often had to burn the midnight oil to keep up with his classes, which explained his eye bags. This didn't dampen his mood, however. He'd receive his pay once he was done with work today and could finally buy his girlfriend, Shirley Schuster—the prettiest girl in their major—the platinum necklace she'd been eyeing."Larry…maybe we should go somewhere more private…" Dustin was mopping the floor when he heard this and stopped in his tracks—that was a voice he was extremely familiar with! Although it was drowned out by the music almost instantly, Dustin still zoned in on its owner after gazing around. Sure enough, it was Shirley! She wore a skin-tight, strappy dress; her bare should

Tricia smiled. "Yes, sir." She pulled out her phone, dialed a number, and said, "It's time!" As everyone wondered what was happening, they heard the rumbling of heavy machinery. Then, a loud crash made the glasses on the tables fall to the floor and shatter. When the dust settled, a gaping hole appeared in one of the nightclub's walls. A bulldozer was parked right outside."A…a bulldozer?" someone cried."What the fuck is a bulldozer doing in the middle of the city?""What are they doing? Are they gonna take down the whole building?"There were exclamations everywhere. The bulldozer didn't proceed after blasting a hole in the wall. Instead, it backed up. Then, to everyone's bemusement, a truck backed up through the wall. The onlookers scrambled to make way for it, allowing the truck to back up and stop right before Larry. At this moment, Tricia explained, "This is a gift Master Dustin prepared for you, Mr. Zant.""A gift? No one in their right mind would prepare gifts like this!"

As a nightclub manager, it was important to be sharp and on one's toes. Fortunately, Ken was quite the expert in this aspect. He could tell Dustin was no longer the weakling from before—he was definitely much more powerful than Larry. The fact that he could get someone to blast a hole in the nightclub's wall spoke for itself.Larry turned to glare at Ken and growled, "Don't tell me you actually believe what she said!" To be completely honest, he still harbored a sliver of hope. His father's business empire had stood strong for decades. How could it possibly collapse in a matter of minutes? The mere thought was preposterous!"The nightclub won't be able to operate as usual when it's in such a state, and I doubt you'll be able to enjoy yourself under such circumstances. Anyway, we'll need some time to clean up this mess, but you're always welcome to visit us again, Mr. Zant." Ken couldn't possibly answer Larry frankly.Larry nodded thoughtfully. He was probably better off backing down

Mildred was taken aback, surprised by Dustin's reaction. Shouldn't he be angry? She wanted him to seethe and hurl insults at her; it was only logical for him to act that way. Now, however, he was just sweeping the matter under the rug with a nonchalant attitude. It made her feel defeated. Her mind whirred for a second before she devised a plan. "Dustin, I shouldn't have done that, and I'm sorry. I'll let everyone know I was just spouting nonsense."This time, it was Dustin's turn to be surprised. When had Mildred learned to apologize? He gave her a doubtful look, then let the matter go. She no longer had anything to do with him since things were over between him and Shirley, anyway. He didn't need to waste his breath on her. "Whatever." What could a few rumors do to him? Only busybodies like Mildred cared about those things.She took a step closer to him and giggled. "Here, let me make it up to you—I'll introduce another one of my friends to you. Now that you and Shirley are over, yo

In fact, showing such an expression only proved that they might be Genevieve’s friends, but they didn’t understand her at all.Genevieve came from a prestigious family with a good upbringing. She had a gentle, kind, and almost flawless personality. No matter what background a person came from, she would treat them as equals. If someone was of lower status, she would not look down on them and would treat everyone righteously. So, when she saw Mildred ridiculing Dustin, she wanted to help him. Mildred was quick to react and guessed Genevieve’s train of thought. She said, “Genevieve, it’s Zachary’s treat today. Why don’t we ask his opinion first?” She knew that Zachary wanted to get closer to Genevieve and didn’t want another guy to be at the scene. Therefore, it was the right decision to leave things to him. Only then did Dustin find out the guy’s name. After that, Dustin and Genevieve both looked at Zachary. Zachary understood that Genevieve had shown her intentions by asking Du
