He glared at me viciously and spat, “Monica,
what gives you the right to be so smug?
Everything you have was handed to you by
your parents. Let me tell you something-

But I wasn’t the least bit intimidated.

In our past life, his success had only been
possible because I was the one pushing him
forward.
Game development was tedious work, and
after learning just the basics, he’d lost
interest.
It was always me who stayed up late
perfecting his half–baked projects.
This time, I wouldn’t lift a finger for him. Let’s

Without even glancing up, I crumpled the bill
and tossed it aside.
Chandler immediately scrambled to retrieve

“Let me spell it out for you–I’m about to hit it
big. A major investor has taken interest in my
game.”
“Know how much he’s offering me? Five million. Five million just to develop one game
