Shakira rubbed her eyes a few times, making sure she hadn't seen it wrong. She thought, 'So, Walter has really lost his mind!"

Apparently, her sharp scream had reached the study, as Walter sent her a voice message: [Look under the pillow.]

Puzzled, Shakira reached under it and pulled out a check. The amount on it was three million dollars.

Shakira gasped, too shocked to even scream.

Another voice message from Walter came through. "The app has a transfer limit. Happy New Year."

Shakira knew he had a nice voice, but this time, it was downright melodic.

She didn't hesitate and cheerfully accepted it, sending him a few playful "Thank you, boss!" emojis.

Just as she was basking in the joy, a message from Skyla popped up.

Skyla, as wealthy as her nephew, transferred 3,333,333 dollars to Shakira.

A voice message quickly followed. "Shakira, Walter told me you spent all your savings on the necklace for me. This is a New Year's gift from me. Accept it, alright?"

Shakira couldn't bring herself to accept it, so she began thinking of a polite way to refuse. But Skyla's next voice message shattered that plan.

[This isn't just from me; it's also from Walter's grandparents and parents. If you don't take it, I won't have a happy New Year.]

Shakira knew if she didn't accept, it would genuinely hurt Skyla's feelings.

So she took the money, thanked Skyla, and started to think about what gift she should prepare in return.

If someone treated her poorly, she would make them suffer.

But for those who were kind to her, she would repay them doubly.

In the days that followed, Shakira's phone buzzed more than ever with messages of New Year's greetings.

Matthew, Ethan, Sean, Gideon, Kyle, Calton, Gavin, Benji, Kevin and Michael all sent her New Year's greetings and gifts.
