Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 154

I wondered how to explain the situation to Matthew and Benjamin.

As I was thinking about this, Matthew suddenly said, "But you and Felicia sure are lucky these days—winning the lottery and getting huge tips from live streams. It's like money just keeps rolling in."

"Yeah, exactly! You two have probably made close to two million by now, right? That's no small sum. Some people don't earn that much in their entire lives."

Seizing the opportunity, I replied, "That's true. Felicia and I have indeed made a good amount. It's nothing to be ashamed of if she bowed her head for money just this once. Besides, she promised me it would be her last time livestreaming."

Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Benjamin even blurted out, "Man, I wish I were a lady. Just one live stream, and I would make that much. Why bother with college or finding a job? A few years of this, and I would be set for life."

Liam rolled his eyes at him. "Dream on! Do you think every lady can make that much from livestreaming? Even someone as stunning as Lina doesn't get many tips. A donor like Mr. Top Dog is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Got it?"

I nodded in agreement.

"Liam's right. Betting on instant success is like trying to catch water with a sieve. It's better to stay grounded. As the saying goes, if something is meant for you, it won't pass you by. If you're truly destined for wealth, even working a regular job can lead to riches."

That seemed to douse Benjamin's dreams of easy money. I genuinely didn't want to see him go astray. Even for someone wealthy, such thoughts were risky.

I had heard of countless rich people losing everything by chasing high returns through investments, stocks, or even illegal activities over the years. How much worse would it be for someone without a safety net?

My family had been well-off for generations. My father, in particular, took the family business to new heights. Yet, despite this, he had always avoided high-risk ventures, sticking to tangible industries and steady growth.

"It's better to work harder than gamble it all away." My father drilled this mindset into me, and I always kept it in mind.
