"No, we must buy all of them." Stan Harrison's tone was firm and unquestionable.
A thought suddenly crossed Maya's mind.
Was Stan buying her such an extravagant gift because he liked her?
Her cheeks flushed faintly, and a shy expression appeared on her face.
"Buy them all?" Leo sneered disdainfully. "Do you even realize that everything in this store costs more than one million dollars? Can you actually afford it?"
Stan ignored him completely. He simply handed his bank card to the waiter and said calmly, "Run the card."
[Transaction successful. Amount: $1,260,000.
Rebate received: 5× return — $6,300,000 credited.]
"He actually paid for it?" Leo stared in disbelief.
Even he could not casually produce more than a million dollars, yet Stan had spent the money without the slightest hesitation. The scene left everyone stunned.
Leo suddenly felt uneasy.
Wasn't Stan Harrison supposed to be a penniless loser? How had he suddenly become a wealthy tycoon?
Lily also found the situation difficult to accept. Watching Stan walk away, she unexpectedly began to regret breaking up with him.
Meanwhile, at the Zimmerman residence…
Maya was the treasured daughter of the Zimmerman family, so her every move was closely monitored.
The moment she went out with Stan, the family immediately began investigating him. After all, Maya had never shown interest in any man before.
"Have you found out who was dining with my daughter?" the head of the Zimmerman family asked coldly.
"It was a college student named Stan Harrison," the subordinate replied respectfully.
"A mere college student with no background dares pursue my daughter?" The patriarch narrowed his eyes. "Send him my prized vintage wine… and make sure he understands the message."
"Understood."
The man in black bowed respectfully before quietly withdrawing from the room.
Back at the dormitory, Stan Harrison received a message from Lily.
"Stan, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have broken up with you. I was confused for a moment. Can you forgive me?"
A cold smirk appeared on Stan's face.
Lily truly had no shame. The moment she discovered he had money, she came running back to him.
Perhaps the old Stan would have forgiven her without hesitation. But not anymore.
He was no longer the pathetic simp who revolved around women. From now on, things would be different—women would be the ones chasing after him.
Without the slightest emotion, he typed a single reply.
[Get lost.]
Lily froze when she saw the message.
Back when they were together, Stan had treated her incredibly well. She knew he had genuinely loved her. On top of that, he was handsome and considerate. But in the end, she couldn't accept being with a man who had no money, so she chose to leave him.
That was why, after discovering his sudden wealth, she had confidently tried to win him back. She believed that as long as she apologized sincerely enough, Stan would definitely forgive her.
But now, that confidence had been completely shattered.
Right after sending the message, Stan blocked her on Snapchat without a second thought.
At that moment, Stan's attention was entirely focused on the system.
He had already spent money on Maya twice. According to the system rules, he would have to wait seven days before he could spend on her again.
That meant he needed to bind another heroine as a rebate target.
After all, he couldn't rely on a single woman forever.
Feeling bored, Stan lay on his bed and began scrolling through TikTuk, specifically searching for girls with beauty ratings above eight.
Soon, his eyes landed on someone familiar.
Sarah—the third-ranked campus belle of Peak University.
Her beauty was on par with Maya Zimmerman's.
Just then, he happened to swipe onto one of Sarah's videos.
In the clip, Sarah looked exhausted as she said:
"My family is facing a crisis right now. I urgently need to borrow one million dollars. If anyone is willing to help me, I promise I'll repay everything. I can even write an IOU."
She had also left her Snapchat ID in the comments.
The moment Stan saw the video, his eyes lit up.
He had been wondering how he could get close to Sarah, yet fate had practically delivered the opportunity straight to him.
As expected, money could solve almost anything.
Without hesitation, Stan added Sarah on Snapchat.
Soon, he sent her a message:
"Hello. Do you really need to borrow one million dollars?"
Sarah replied almost instantly.
"Yes... but I need to confirm through a video call first."
A faint smile appeared on Stan's lips.
Only through direct interaction could he bind Sarah as a consumption rebate target.
As for the money?
Forget one million—even if she needed two million, he would still lend it without hesitation.
Less than a minute later, Sarah initiated a video call.
On the screen, she was wearing a pink pajama set. Though her clothes were simple, they couldn't conceal her delicate beauty.
Her eyes were slightly red and watery, as if she had cried for a long time.
She had already made countless video calls like this tonight.
But almost everyone who contacted her only wanted to see her appearance. None of them genuinely intended to lend her money.
Some even mocked her, assuming the video was merely staged content for attention and online popularity.
But they had no idea how desperate she truly was.
Sarah was serious about borrowing the money; serious enough to prepare a signed IOU as proof of debt.
After repeated disappointment, her emotions had already sunk to rock bottom.
By the time she called Stan, she was merely clinging to the last shred of hope she had left.
