She Became Rich After Divorce by Georgina Lane

Chapter 260: Poverty is the Root of All Evil

Kate had previously resorted to physical aggression, like when she had beaten up Timothy, letting out her frustration. Now, she decided to try a psychological attack.

She took a step closer, standing directly in front of Timothy. She tilted her head, her gaze innocent and pure, resembling a young deer in the forest.

“I’ve often seen you eating instant noodles in the cafeteria. Is that because you spent your money on buying chocolates?”

Initially, she admired Timothy for being able to maintain his modest lifestyle when he was around rich kids. While others indulged in lavish meals, he remained focused on his plain food. But her admiration turned to disbelief when she learned that he was doing this to impress Peyton, who was pursuing the same girl in their class.

“You, coming from a modest background, why are you competing with a wealthy elite? And on top of that, using the most foolish method – starvation. Do you think Peyton cares about a few thousand bucks more or less?”

Timothy nodded honestly, knowing that his actions in the cafeteria were a source of shame. The embarrassment he felt whenever his name appeared on the list of sponsored students was palpable. He was aware that among the few students on the list, they were the only ones who had been specially admitted to the school, making it all too obvious.

Many students in the class secretly laughed at him, calling him “poor” behind his back. They believed that his dream was nothing more than an attempt to blend into the world of the wealthy and profit from it, without understanding the vast difference in circumstances.

“You’re right,” he admitted.

He didn’t deny that the chocolates was used to please Peyton.
