Lucky in Money and Love Chapter 12
Elliott and Selena kept eating until they were too stuffed to take another bite. There was still seafood left on the table, but they couldn't lift their forks anymore."Waiter, pack these up for us," Elliott instructed.Not wasting any of the food, he had the leftovers packed to go as well. The other portions set aside for his and Selena's roommates were also ready.Elliott and Selena were just about to leave when a young woman abruptly stood up at a nearby table. She was using her hands to clutch her throat."What's the matter, Joanna?""You're scaring us, Joanna! What's going on?"There were four young women at the table, and the one who started choking herself was Joanna Carter. Her face was flushed scarlet from her inability to breathe. At the very next moment, she crashed onto the floor.Immediately, the other three young women grew distraught. They didn't know what to do."Joanna! What's happening?""Help! Someone, please! Help Joanna!""Don't die, Joanna!"Alas, most o

Thomas, Connor, and Justin were digging into the seafood when Elliott came in. They all stood up and gave him a thumbs-up."You're awesome, Elliott! I can't believe you actually landed Selena!""We're your friends, aren't we? Tell us how you managed to get together with Selena right after breaking up with Anne!""Yes, since we're all best buddies here, you have to tell us what your killer move is."Elliott didn't know what to say. "I already told you. All that matters is being sincere! As long as you're sincere with someone, she'll be able to sense that."The three of them didn't believe him, but he insisted that was all it took. They had no choice but to ask, "The seafood must've cost thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars. Where did you get that kind of money?"Shrugging, Elliott replied, "I'm not the one who paid for it. Selena did.""What the fuck? That can't be! Does this mean you're just a sugar baby?""I knew it! You were still making deliveries this morning. Ther

After Elliott talked to Joanna, it was getting rather late. Elliott felt drowsy and wanted to sleep, but he got yet another message. He frowned when he saw the sender—Anne."Thanks for the gifts, Elliott. I got them.""I'm sorry for the nasty things I said this morning.""Thank you for what you did at Waverly Mall. Out of everyone in the world, you treat me the best."Anne sent three messages in a row. In the past, Elliott would've responded instantly, but now, he didn't even feel like answering her.So what if he had worshipped the ground she walked on? She didn't even flinch when she chose to ditch him. The more he cared about her, the more deeply he was hurt.Moreover, he now had Selena and Joanna, too. Needless to say, Anne mattered little to him. He considered her nothing more than his pawn for earning money.The fact that Elliott wasn't responding made Anne anxious."Why hasn't he replied to my texts yet? He used to answer them in less than a minute! Has he fallen asleep?"

Elliott looked over and saw the captivating Selena jogging toward him with two sets of breakfast as well.Anne's expression turned ugly at the sight of Selena. She considered Selena her biggest rival.Selena spotted Anne as well. Knowing that Anne was Elliott's ex, she gave Anne a faint smile before saying sweetly to Elliott, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right, Eli? I brought you some!""That won't be necessary. I brought him breakfast, too," Anne cut in.Ignoring Anne, Selena started unpacking the food, saying, "Look, Eli. It's a breakfast taco from the taco store by the campus entrance. Eat it while it's still warm.""Thanks, Lena!" Elliott said before picking a breakfast taco and munching on it, much to Anne's vexation."Do you feel like eating tacos, Eli? I'll get you some!" Anne offered."That won't be necessary. Lena got me enough food," Elliott replied.Other students who were here for the talk also started entering the lecture hall, and they were envious to see two be

"Yes, I want to sit behind Elliott," Anne said softly. "That way, he's always in my sight."Confused, Julie asked, "Anne, are you really going to try and win him back?""I am!" Anne confirmed. "I was wrong for the way I treated him. He spent over three years trying to win me over. Now, it's my turn to spend three more years winning him back, and I'll gladly do it!""You don't need to, Anne," Julie advised. "Plenty of guys like you. You can just pick the best among them. Why are you being so stubborn about Elliott?""You don't get it, Julie. I used to be clueless about love, but now I know what it is. You don't know what happened. Yesterday, Ivan's girlfriend accused me of being his side chick. I was utterly humiliated. There were plenty of people around us, but no one stood up for me," Anne said."Elliott was the only one. He didn't even hesitate at all. He jumped right up and fought with Ivan. Although he didn't take my breakfast, I'm sure he still cares about me. I can feel it. E

Once the guys saw Elliott making his approach, they started snorting."Hah! Isn't that Elliott Langley, the King of the Simps? I can't believe he's got the nerve to ask Roxy for her number. He thinks too highly of himself!""Why would someone as cool and unapproachable as Roxy give him her number? Just watch. He's going to make a joke of himself when she rejects him."The other guys weren't the only ones who were pessimistic about Elliott's chances. Even his roommates shook their heads."Has Elliott gotten rather conceited? What makes him think he can ask Roxy for her number?""Elliott's got balls, alright. I feel like trying myself, but after seeing how she rejected both those guys, I know I've got no chance. Elliott's too impulsive!""He's definitely going to get rejected this time. We'll need to comfort him later."Anne's expression darkened, and Julie reacted the same way. Leaning in, Julie whispered, "I can't believe the nerve of that Elliott! You're still right behind him,

Elliott texted to Joanna, "I'm not sure. I'm guessing it'll take another half an hour. Are you outside?""Yeah. I'm waiting for you at the entrance, Elliott," Joanna replied. "Can I treat you to lunch to thank you for saving me yesterday?"If he had lunch with Joanna, it was his chance to flex his wealth in front of her, and he could also take advantage of the system's Conquest Fund to have a good meal himself. Moreover, she'd been waiting for him the whole time, so he had to accept the invitation out of consideration for her sincerity."Sure! That's fine with me, but it'll be a while before the talk ends," Elliott said."It's okay. I'll wait for you," Joanna answered.She was indeed waiting right outside the lecture hall. Due to her birthmark, no guy had ever tried to date her before, but she longed to go on a date with a guy. Although she knew that having lunch with Elliott was only to thank him for his help last night, she couldn't resist fantasizing about it anyway."Elliott i

Elliott studied the patch of red skin carefully. It blended into Joanna's skin perfectly without any bumps. If she wanted to get rid of it, the best way would be to get it surgically removed."I think a doctor might be able to remove this birthmark, Joanna. I'll accompany you to the hospital to get it checked this afternoon," Elliott said.His words warmed Joanna's heart once more."Okay. I need to finish up some of the hospital paperwork anyway," Joanna replied with a nod, her eyes tearing up. "Thank you, Elliott. When you're with me, it feels as though I don't have to be scared of anything.""Conquest Target Joanna Carter gains 5 affection points for a present total of 45 affection points."Following Elliott's careful study of Joanna's face, her affection for him went up again. The atmosphere between them became even cozier as they continued eating their pizza.After lunch, they took a cab to the hospital from last night to complete the paperwork for Joanna's discharge.

"Quick! Take a look at this, Roxy!" Shirley exclaimed in excitement as she passed Roxy her phone.It was a video on TikTalk—an edit of Roxy's stream last night that had already received over a million likes and reshares."Check it out, Roxy! TikTalk's official account is promoting your live stream video, too. Hurry up and see how many followers you have now!"All of Roxy's roommates crowded around her.Roxy opened her TikTalk account, only to be stunned by what she saw. In just a single night, her follower count had ballooned up to a million people!"I can't believe this! This is all thanks to Elliott," Roxy exclaimed.She only had a little over 100 followers before this, but she now had over a million. This was all thanks to Elliott's frenzied gift-giving.But when Roxy checked her WhatsApp chat with him, she was taken aback to find that he hadn't responded yet."Good morning. Are you up?" she texted.Pouting, she murmured to herself, "What on earth is he thinking? Why isn't h

Since Roxy was insisting, Shirley filled her in."Oh, alright. This information came from a reliable source, okay? Since his first year of college, Elliott has been pursuing a student named Anne Cohen, but even after over three years, he still hasn't succeeded. "Also, to earn money to spend on Anne, he often works part-time as a deliveryman. Who would've thought he had 20 million dollars to use on streaming gifts for you?"Roxy's jaw dropped. "What? He's got such an embarrassing past?""I know, right? I do pity him. Even after three years, he couldn't get Anne to agree to date him!" Shirley remarked."Is she pretty?" Roxy asked.Shirley replied, "She's alright. She's nowhere near as gorgeous as you."After pausing in thought, Roxy commented with a laugh, "He's rather devoted.""Huh?""Think about it," Roxy said. "Elliott spent over three years trying to win the heart of someone who isn't all that pretty. Doesn't that prove he's devoted when it comes to love?""You make a good

"Who knows what the wealthy think?" Roxy said as she got into bed.She was also curious to know what WinkingWolf was up to. She clicked on his profile to check his information, only to be stunned by what she saw. According to his profile, she already had his number in her contacts list!"Is he… really someone I know?"Roxy was dumbfounded. But after giving it some more thought, she couldn't think of anyone she knew who could be that rich. Just who was it?She continued to check the profile, even comparing the profile pictures on TikTalk and WhatsApp. It looked a little familiar, but not much. Nevertheless, she was certain it was someone she knew.As she couldn't figure out who it was, she tried to search for WinkingWolf's number on WhatsApp itself. Immediately, the chat history popped up."Whoa! How could it be him?"At last, she realized it was Elliott!"Just this morning, he called me the sugar to his coffee and said he wanted me to sweeten up his life. Who would've thought he

Roxy's heart felt like it would explode. Her voice trembled with emotion as she cried out, "Thank you for all the love you've shown me, Mr. Wolf! I'm truly grateful!"Alas, no matter what the viewers or Roxy said, Elliott didn't respond. He was exhausted. It even hurt to tap on his screen, so he set his phone aside and went to sleep.Roxy kept streaming for another 15 minutes or so until it was 11:00 pm before she finally ended her live stream. Her roommates had long since gone into a tizzy."Oh, my goodness, Roxy! Who's the rich guy?""He's not just rich. He's filthy rich! You have to hang on tightly to him, Roxy.""That's right. How did you find him, Roxy?"All three of her roommates were curious to know.Looking rather clueless, Roxy replied, "I… don't know him!""That's impossible. Why would he give you all those gifts if you don't know him?""I'm sure it's someone you know. Everyone loves money. Why would a total stranger be willing to spend 20 million dollars on you?""B

At the moment, LittleRoxy was shooting up the real-time streamer rankings on TikTalk, and Elliott was still giving her more gifts."WinkingWolf has given a total of 1,000 Carnivals."In next to no time, Elliott had sent his 1,000th Carnival to Roxy, and the viewers went from shocked to incredulous.A thousand Carnivals were the equivalent of three million dollars. He'd given her three million dollars just like that!"Goodness gracious! Mr. Wolf's got deep pockets, alright. He's sent out 1,000 Carnivals!""That's amazing. It's only his first time, but he's broken the record on TikTalk for the most ever given by one person in a single sitting!""Look! LittleRoxy has over 100,000 viewers now!""Oh, my! She's broken into the top ten of the rankings, too.""Mr. Wolf means business. Looks like he really is going to send her to the top."By now, the popularity of Roxy's stream far exceeded that of the major streamers who had originally ranked at the top. Not only was she the center of

Carnival was the most expensive gift that could be given on TikTalk. It cost 30,000 Tiktalk credits, which was the equivalent of 3,000 dollars.Naturally, the most expensive gift came with the most explosive effects. Apart from the graphics that burst onto the screen, an attention-grabbing notification popped up to inform the viewers that someone had given the streamer a Carnival. It would also show who the giver was and how many gifts had been given."WinkingWolf has given a Carnival."The viewers were stunned, and the comments started flooding in, but they were hidden by the special effects from the Carnival."Goodness me! Is this real? What did I just see?""That's a Carnival! It's my first time seeing a Carnival in a live stream with so few viewers!""Are you serious, Wolf? That's so generous of you!""What the heck? That's incredible. Does Wolf here seriously want to boost this streamer to the top?"Roxy was just as taken aback. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She qu

"Exactly. How is it impolite? What's the big deal about giving us her number? It's perfectly normal to exchange contact information.""Hurry up. We'll accept it if she doesn't text back, and we won't save her number, either. But you're no friend of ours if you won't even give us her number."Elliott could tell that many people were eager to get Roxy's number. He figured it wouldn't be a problem to give them Roxy's number, so long as they promised not to spread it around."Fine. I'll give it to you guys."Elliott rattled out her number, much to Thomas, Connor, and Justin's excitement. They finally got Roxy's contact!Alas, less than ten minutes later, they all looked depressed. Judging from their reactions, Elliott knew Roxy must've ignored them, but he didn't tease them about it.Tired from the day's events, he washed up and jumped in bed. While he was scrolling through the videos on TikTalk, his eyes abruptly lit up when he spotted a familiar face—Roxy!Roxy was currently doing

The artfully designed menu was fairly short with not many offerings, but every single item was exorbitantly priced.The steak cost over 1,000 dollars. Other delicacies like foie gras, escargot, and even a simple mushroom were all over 500 dollars. Even the cheapest item on the menu cost more than 100 dollars.Joanna assumed a meal here would cost about 300 dollars, but from the looks of it now, this restaurant was far more premium than she thought. A meal here would cost at least 3,000 dollars.The world of the rich was indeed something that the poor couldn't even imagine.Joanna grimaced at Elliott. She dared not order anything."Go on, Joanna. Order anything you want," Elliott said.The waiter, who was observing the two, noticed that they looked like college students. Thus, he started mocking them inwardly.He thought it was obvious Elliott had noticed the prices and realized they couldn't afford to eat here, but he was too proud to admit that. He was pretending to be generous

Joanna knew this was a rare chance. If she missed this opportunity, she might never get to remove her birthmark.Apart from having the chance to admire Joanna's body and engage in more physical contact, there was another reason why Elliott said he wanted to give her a massage treatment—he wanted to use more of the Conquest Fund.Obviously, the massage couldn't be done at either of their dorm rooms. They would need to go to a hotel and get a room there. This was a perfectly reasonable way for him to use the Conquest Fund.Only by doing so could he get even more once his mission involving Joanna was a success.Elliott checked the time and saw that it was almost 6:00 pm."Shall we have dinner, Joanna?" he asked."Sure. Whatever you say, Elliott!""What would you like to have? It's on me.""I should be the one treating you to dinner, Elliott," Joanna said. "You've been such a great help to me, and you even paid for the consultation fees today. How could I possibly use any more of yo
