Chapter 10
This shitshow finally ended when the cops took Sutton and Mrs. Coleman in for questioning.
Since Sutton had invited everyone, once she got hauled away, nobody felt comfortable sticking around.
They all scattered.
Except Grayson.
He looked like he had a million questions, like he was waiting for me to explain myself.
Mom was pissed at Grayson, but she figured this was mine to handle.
My parents went back to their room, leaving us alone.
Why’d you lie to me?”
‘m the one who got dumped, and he’s playing victim?
What exactly did I lie about?”
Money? Or feelings?”
Every dollar we spent hanging out over the years, I split with you down to the cent.”
Hell, in middle school my mom made you breakfast for an entire year.”
You’re the one who ghosted my whole family the day after your windfall.”
Grayson, you’re the heartless one here.”
And my family’s finances? That’s literally none of your business.”
de kept trying to defend himself.
Stella, if you’d told me your family was loaded, why would I have broken up with you?”
let out a cold laugh:
‘If you’d known about my money earlier, you probably would’ve married me just to bleed us dry!”
“Stella, how can you think that about me?”

“What else am I supposed to think? Looking at you makes me sick now.”
“Stella…”
I literally kicked him out.
Finally, some peace and quiet.
After Sutton’s fake rich girl act got exposed, she never showed her face at school again.
As for Mrs. Coleman, we filed complaints and demanded compensation from the agency.
There’s truth to that saying-when you have money, everyone around you suddenly becomes nice.
At school, I got crowned the new queen bee.
All the people who used to hate on me were suddenly kissing my ass.
Grayson kept trying to win me back.
My desk was stuffed daily with gifts he’d bought.
He’d bring me meals three times a day without me even asking.
He even brought his parents to our house to apologize.
After seeing our $200 million penthouse, his mom lost all that attitude from before.
‘Oh, we’re practically family! We’ve just been so swamped lately, didn’t mean to lose touch.”
‘Definitely didn’t mean to cut contact or anything.”
Mom sipped her tea with the faintest smile.
I distinctly remember you saying we’d never speak again.”
“So what’s this about?”
Grayson’s mom went full suck-up mode:
“That was just a joke! We’ve been friends for years-you’re not seriously mad over one little comment, are you?”
“Besides, the kids have been inseparable since childhood. Marriage is just the natural next step. They don’t

have eyes for anyone else!”
“What about Sutton?” I asked.
She laughed awkwardly.
“Men make mistakes sometimes. Grayson just got his head turned temporarily.”
“That Sutton girl was manipulative. Poor Grayson didn’t stand a chance-she had him wrapped around her finger.”
“Actually, Grayson was the one chasing Sutton,” I clarified.
She kept trying to smooth things over.
‘Oh sweetie, you two have been in love for so long.”
How about we plan the engagement right after graduation?”
smiled sweetly:
You want an engagement?”
Eighty million dollar for gift first.”
Stella, that’s… that’s a bit unreasonable.”
‘d been holding back long enough. Time for scorched earth.
Honestly? Grayson’s only high-end feature is his gaming setup. Everything else is bargain-basement, especially his brain.”
‘My mom only pretended we were middle-class back then to test if your family were gold-diggers.”
‘Turns out you totally are.”
‘Did every other man on Earth die? Why would I have to marry Grayson?”
“Don’t come back here acting like you matter.”
“I mean, Grayson’s not completely useless-he’s really good at annoying me.”
I roasted them until they left.

Chapter 10
From that day on, Grayson completely disappeared from my life.
Because I transferred to an elite international prep school that required proof of at least a billion in assets.
Grayson didn’t qualify.
But there was one person I couldn’t stop thinking about.
Yuna.
Before leaving, I gave her my meal card with the $10K I’d loaded on it.
Told her she could cash out whatever was left after graduation.
Yuna didn’t refuse.
She just promised she’d pay me back someday when she had money.
I asked if she’d miss me when I was gone.
She said yes.
But she hoped I was heading toward something better.
That night, we snuck two beers.
Under the moonlight, we toasted to each other’s happiness.
