It has been over half an hour since Liam walked into the penthouse. He had used the time to take a comprehensive tour of the mansion.
As for the result of his tour? His current state of speechless.
At first, just the fact that he got a penthouse had left him speechless but the amenities in it made him even more speechless.
Instead of calling it a penthouse or an apartment, it would be more appropriate to call it a house because it comes with everything and anything he wants.
A living room with a dining area adjoined to it, and the kitchen overlooking it. Then a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom.
These things are basics, yes. But what aren't basic are the furnitures, decorations and the amenities in the penthouse.
Everything's so high-class and expensive looking that Liam felt that he might lose his mind.
As for the price of the place? He didn't dare to check. He had already checked on the internet and saw that the prices of penthouse in areas around Palm Ville Estate cost a minimum of $4.5m.
Using that and the fact that his penthouse is special because it's a condo, and also the fact that Palm Ville Estate doesn't sell their units, he can already deduce that the price of his penthouse would cost at least $10m-$15m.
That was a staggering amount of money for someone who barely had $20 in his account an hour ago.
Everything was still a lot for Liam to take in but he was sure that he would get used to it. Though it would definitely take some time.
Seated on one of the cushions, Liam smiled from ear to ear, as he savoured the feeling of its comfort.
He picked up the TV remote and was about to turn the TV on when his stomach growled, reminding him that he has yet to eat anything for the day.
Liam dropped the TV remote back on the glass centre table, picked up his car key and the key card, stood up from the cushion and left the penthouse.
Imperial Kitchen, Palm Ville Estate.
Liam parked his car and walked into the establishment.
Immediately, his clothes attracted the attention of the customers around, as he was still wearing his worn-out clothes that has a quite a bit of holes in it.
A man in a tailored suit glanced at Liam's threadbare shirt, then at his Maserati keys resting on the table. His brows furrowed in confusion.
As for Liam? He was used to stares and he used to shrink under them. But now, he didn't care to be bothered with the stares the man or everyone were giving him. They are entitled to their opinion and ge has nothing to prove to anyone.
Yes, his clothes aren't appropriate for a place but it can't be helped. He has nothing else to change into and he was too hungry and weak to start going shopping for clothes.
He would definitely get some clothes later today or tomorrow, but all he wants to do now was to eat.
Liam picked up the menu, went through it and called the waiter, and a waitress arrived at his table to take his order.
Not wanting to say too much, Liam pointed to the things he wants on the menu.
The waitress nodded respectfully and walked back to the kitchen.
With his order taken, Liam would have to wait for a few minutes before it's ready. Having free time, he decided to use it to pay up his debts.
He transfered the due rents to his former landlord and texted him, telling him that he has moved out.
He also paid all the bills that had pilled up on his head and the $48,000 debt both his parents left him, before running off with a rich man.
As he paid off the debt, he remembered his parents. His dad divorced his mom when he was still in middle school and right before he got into high school, his mom remarried and left him.
He had no idea why she has done that but two years later, he found out that the man she remarried didn't want him and his mom had no choice but to leave her own child.
Liam smiled mockingly when he thought about this. The truth was thatthe only reason why he paid off the debt was because he doesn't want to have anything to do with either of his parents.
They can go and burn in hell for all he cares. Nothing would ever make him acknowledge them in his life again.
Liam wasn't saying this because of the money he now has. Neither did he just make the decision.
No, he has already made the decision a long time ago. If not, he wouldn't had taken on the debt as his own. There was also the crazy interest he had been paying for years—one of the contributing cause to his previous miserable situation.
But no more. With the system, he definitely won't have to worry about money anymore and would continue to become even wealthier in the future.
As for him? All he just wants to do was to enjoy this life of his and everything that comes with it.
He will do the things he hadn't been able to do before. He will live the life he wasn't able to live before and he make sure that going forward, no one ever looks down on him again.
Money gives confidence, they say. This was true for Liam. Though he currently has less than $40,000 in his account after paying off all his debts, he wasn't worried.
Liam was brought out of his thoughts by the voice of the waitress, as she served him his meal.
After she was done, he thanked her and started eating. He took a bite of the chicken and nearly moaned due to how delicious it was.
Liam took his time enjoying his meal. After he was done, he paid his bills and left.
While paying, he saw that the cashier was looking at him strangely and was quite surprised after he paid the bill of more than $1,000 without issue.
Also, he noticed some of the other customers looking at him strangely as he walked out of the restaurant without having any issue with the staffs
He understood their reasoning but he didn't care. Liam checked his balance again. Still over $38,000 left. It was time to bury the old him—for good.
He got into his car and drove off towards the shopping area of the estate.
