Alex stared at Lyra, choosing not to respond.

"Fine," Lyra snapped.

"My father took his shot by siding with the old regime, and my mother backed him all the way. They messed up big time! But I haven't even had my chance yet, and this family mess has ruined it."

"The money could vanish in an instant, and you'll be right back where you began- back on the streets, in the slums. That's not where you want to end up, is it?"

"While you're ahead, you should take that fortune and make it work for you." "The only thing you can truly rely on is the wealth you hold and the future you secure!"
