Son-in-law From Rags to Riches

Chapter 5 Online Money Transaction 

Joshua went to the gate of the community, stopped a taxi, and went straight to Maple Properties. 

Tomorrow, he would officially be the CEO of Maple Properties. He planned to come in advance today to familiarize himself. 

Joshua turned on his phone and sent Alfred a line message, saying that he was on his way to Maple Properties. 

Alfred replied that he would arrange for someone to pick Joshua up. 

Meanwhile, Joshua received a notification from Line. It was from a group chat formed by his high school classmates. 

It was sent by Quinn Lowell, the monitor back in high school. 

“Everyone, heads-up! i’d like to invite everyone to a gathering tonight. The dinner will be at Golden Gate Hotel. My treat. Tell me now if you can show up tonight! Our class teacher, Mr. Ruskin, will also be there!” 

A bunch of people replied, 

“Golden Gate Hotel is the best hotel in New York. A meal there costs a lot!” 

“Quinn, you’re so badass! I’ll be there!” 

“Count me in!” 

Quinn looked at the messages and couldn’t help but feel smug. He took a photo of his office and sent it to the group. 

He then texted, “Well, I’m usually busy with work. It’s so boring staying in the office every day. I want to spend more time with everyone to relax. I miss you guys!” 

It was obvious that he was putting on airs, but some people still replied and buttered 

him up. 

“What a lavish desk! I’m envious!” 

“I heard that Quinn works as a personnel manager in a big company with an annual salary of around 80 thousand dollars!” 

Their teacher, Frank Ruskin, also joined the conversation. He said, “Ouinn is young and capable Everyone, you should learn from him!” 

Quinn pretended to be modest. “Thank you, Mr. Ruskin! In the future, everyone, if you have any difficulties, come to me. As classmates, we should help each other!” 

People continued to flatter Quinn up. 

Suddenly, someone in the group asked, “Why has Joshua kept silent? Isn’t he in the 

group?” 

“Joshua? The pauper who couldn’t afford the tuition fees? He used to eat rotten apples thrown by others when he was at school!” 

“He ate rotten apples back then, and after he graduated, he became someone’s live-in son-in-law who has lived off others!” 

“He is just a cheap pushover!” 

“A few days ago, I heard that he borrowed money everywhere and said that his sister had a car accident and was hospitalized. Everyone, be on your guard. Don’t be fooled!” 

“Even if I have money, I won’t lend him any!” 

Joshua saw their text messages. 

But Joshua did not care. 

After all, he did not have much interaction with them back in school. 

So, why should he care about their comments? 

Not many in the group knew he was in the group anyway.
