I Inherited Billions

Chapter 68

‘Oh? Wasn't she like this back then?” I asked.

To be honest, Susan had truly opened my eyes.

I had seen a lot of snobbish women, for example, Lindy and Macy.

However, this was the first time I saw someone like Susan. How dare she say that the food I ate since I was small was food for pigs and dogs?

I admired her for having the courage to say something like this.

“She’s like me back then and she’s very down-to-earth. Plus, she told me that she’ll make this family rich, but I didn’t expect that she'd become like this one day. If I knew that, I wouldn't have dropped out of school to provide for her education,” Yvette said, feeling very remorseful.

“Oh? Can you tell me more about the story between you two?”

“There’s no story between us. A few years ago, my father became very ill and my family’s income immediately decreased drastically. Our family can only provide for one child to go to school. My sister's and my results are very good but that night, my sister knelt in front of me and said she wanted to go to school. She asked me to give her the chance and also said that after she graduated from university, she would stand out from her peers and provide a better life for the entire family.

“I feel sorry for her so I agreed.

“However, who knew she would become like this after she enrolled in university and got a taste of the world of sensual pleasures.

“It’s one thing that she doesn’t put her heart into her job, but she’s even someone’s mistress. That Billy person has a wife and a family. My family and I respect her honor so that’s why we didn’t expose her. However, who knows, she became worse and started to feel disdainful of our family’s food.

“Say, do you think there’s any chance of saving my sister?” Yvette said, feeling hopeless.

“Sigh, this is human nature…”

I let out a long exhale.

I knew there were two choices for a child from a poor family. One of which was to never forget why they started and strive for self-improvement. Then, they could use their untiring hard work to get out of poverty.

Meanwhile, the other one was to climb onto a higher social status through dishonest practices to get out of poverty.

Yvette was the former while Susan was the latter.

When Susan enrolled in university and discovered how interesting the world that was overflowing with material desire was, her mentality started to change.

Then, when she found out that she could use her beauty to get what she wanted. Her way of thinking started to distort.

She could get everything with beauty, so why should she work hard?

However, what she did not know was that the vortex of desire had no end.

A man who was never content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

When I thought about this, I could not stop myself from sighing ruefully.

When I got my billion-dollar inheritance, thankfully I managed to control myself and not get swallowed by the vortex of desire.

If I was swallowed by desire back then, perhaps the inheritance would not be mine.

Back then, the ‘sumptuous entertainment’ was just my first test. Continuing my studies was another test.

To be honest, Old Mr. Logan’s tests for me next stopped.

Thinking back, my attitude and moral character were more important than my ability, I guess this is also the reason why Old Mr. Logan chose me, right?

“Freddie, are you listening to me?” When Yvette saw me spacing out, she asked.

“I am. To be honest, there is a way to handle your sister’s situation.”

Last time, I made Carl submit to me through some tricks. So, of course, I would also have ways to teach Susan a lesson.

Her biggest problem was her greed for money.

Coincidentally, all I had was money.

So, it was very easy for me to teach her a lesson.

“Really?” Yvette was elated. “My parents can’t sleep because of my sister’s matter. Plus, she won’t listen to anyone right now.”

“Just trust me. I’ll think of a plan when I get home at night. I’ll tell you when I come up with something.”

“Thank you so much.” Yvette’s eyes were sparkling. “Freddie, you’re so nice.”

“You’re pretty nice as well,” I said with a grin. “It’s because you helped me back then so that’s why I’m helping you now. Your charity will always be rewarded.”

Yvette parted her lips to say something.

However, at this moment, a taxi stopped in front of us and Yvette said in disappointment, “Freddie, the car is here. You should get in now.”

I could see the disappointment in her eyes.

After I smiled and caressed her head, I said to her, “Call me if you need anything next time. Also, I want to tell you two things, and please remember them.”

“What is it, Freddie?” Yvette nodded obediently.

“Firstly, always be kind and don’t let anything waver it.”

“I will.” Yvette nodded firmly.

“Secondly, stay away from your brother-in-law. He’s not a good person and he has impure thoughts about you.”

“Huh?” Yvette was surprised. However, she still nodded. “I got it. I’ll definitely keep a distance from him.”

“Alright, it’s good that you remember. I’ll get going now.”

…

After getting back to the Waterfront Paradise, I saw that the lights were on. So, I figured that Montana was back.

I happily took out my keys to open the door.

However, at this moment, Mindy appeared next to me like a ghost.

She scared me and I could not stop myself from scolding her, “Can you make some f*cking noise when you appear next time?”

“I like appearing like this,” Mindy said, smiling insincerely.

“What are you doing here? Didn’t we promise that you’ll give me freedom?” I said with a cold face.

After finding out that the assassination was just an act, I decided to get out of Mindy’s surveillance.

To me, she was a burden right now.

“Really? That’s why I’m your neighbor now.”

After she said that, she pointed at the house next door.

“Heh, you’re everywhere.”

After I said this, I took out my keys to go inside the house.

…

Back then, Montana would come out passionately to welcome me whenever she heard the door opening.

However, she was still locking herself in her room. Clearly, she was still mad.

After hesitating, I knocked on the door of her room.

After about four to five times, she finally opened the door with a gloomy expression. “What? What do you want?”

“Um, I just want to explain to you that the girl who entered my room that day was just my cousin from my hometown,” I made up an excuse.

“Cousin?” Montana’s expression became gloomier. “Do you think I’m an i***t? You’re an orphan, so how will you have cousins? Also, your cousin is from Sunrise Land?”

“Um… You know everything?” I was surprised.

“She already met me and she said she’s your bodyguard.”

“Um…”

I was stunned. I did not think that Mindy would tell Montana everything.

If she did this, it would make me look passive, okay?

I smiled awkwardly and said to Montana, “Are you still mad at me?”

“It’s because you’re dishonest. I didn't even know who you are until now. Who are you? A normal student won’t have a bodyguard, right?”

“Um… I didn’t mean to hide this from you. It’s because of some reasons so I can’t expose my identity. However, please believe me. I am sincere toward you and um, can you let me tell you inside? It’s pretty tiring standing at the door.”

After I said that, I tried to squeeze myself inside.

However, Montana stopped me at the door. “No, since you refused to tell me who you are. Then you’ll only be allowed to enter my room when you’re finally willing to tell me.”

“Um… Please be more accommodating. My bed collapsed and I don’t have a place to sleep. Please take me in for one night. I promise it’s just one night.” After I said that, I continued to try to make my way inside shamelessly.

However, Montana was firm on her decision not letting me inside. “You scoundrel, don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do. I’m still on my period and don’t even think about doing that with me.”

“I don’t want to. I’ll only cuddle you and nothing else.”

“No!” After Montana said that, she slammed the door shut and it almost hit my forehead.

After I had the door shut in my face, I went back to my room, feeling depressed.

…

After some simple washing up, I fell into a deep slumber.

However, when I was feeling heavy with sleep and was drifting in and out of consciousness.

I suddenly noticed the door of my room opening.

Was it Montana?

I was feeling happy in secret. Even though she said no, her body was very honest.

I pretended to be asleep and waited for her to get close to me.

However, at this moment, a handkerchief covered my mouth suddenly. I smelled something sharp and in the next second, I lost consciousness.
