Chapter 3

I subconsciously glanced at the time. There were still eight hours left before the USB drive was supposed to be delivered.

No wonder Jenna wasn't in a hurry. With that thought, I quickly switched to a burner account and entered her live stream.

By then, she had already dragged Ricky into a real estate sales office. On my screen, she arrogantly rejected the agent's recommendation of a luxury apartment.

"Can't you tell what I'm looking for? Do I look like someone who'd settle for an apartment? I want a mansion!"

There were only a handful of viewers in the live stream, but they were all Jenna's die-hard fans. "Wow, Jenna, did you strike it rich? It's only been a few days since your last stream, and you've already moved up a whole social class?"

Upon reading the flattery, Jenna became even more smug. Without even trying to hide the arrogance on her face, she pointed at a model and shouted, "That one. I'll be paying for it in full!"

The agent froze for a second, then immediately put on a flattering smile and pulled out the card reader. "Miss, that'll be 32 million dollars."

That staggering number instantly sent the entire live stream into a frenzy. "It's that expensive? That's a joke, right? Are you seriously buying it, Jenna?"

"I'm stunned. Even if I worked for 20 years, all I would be able to afford would be a toilet in Jenna's house."

Comments poured in nonstop, and naturally, it greatly stroked Jenna's ego.

Covering her mouth, Jenna chuckled, saying, "Having money is all about luck. Of course, if you weren't born with it, you'll never have it in your lifetime."

For nearly ten minutes, Jenna bragged arrogantly about how rich she was.

Meanwhile, the sales agent stood there awkwardly with the card reader, her smile stiff on her face.

She then spoke cautiously. "Ms. Bryant, are you still buying the house?"

The sudden question instantly irritated Jenna. She barked, "Are you questioning my ability to pay?"

Ricky immediately jumped in to back her up and even called her his wife. "Are you looking down on my wife? We could easily afford three mansions if we wanted to, let alone one!"

Frowning slightly, I silently studied Jenna's expression.

As far as I knew, even if she sold herself, she wouldn't be able to come up with that kind of money.

Jenna was just a small-time streamer who spent her days gossiping about drama between women online to attract a few wealthy viewers.

She made decent money, sure, but she also spent it just as fast.

This overseas trip had been her idea, but I was the one who paid for the plane tickets, the hotel, and most of the meals.

I'd believe it if she said she had 300 thousand dollars, but 30 million dollars? That wasn't quite possible. Just as I was trying to figure out how she got the money, Jenna suddenly sneered in the live stream and angrily pointed at the sales agent.

"Get your boss here. I want a different agent."

The agent looked humiliated, but she didn't dare offend a customer.

A few minutes later, a different sales agent came. To my shock, Jenna actually paid for the mansion.

With a casual wave of her hand, she spent 32 million dollars, and that was only just the beginning.

Soon after, she moved on to a luxury car dealership.

Holding Ricky's hand, she asked, "Didn't you say you like Land Rovers, darling? What color do you want? I'll buy it for you."

Everyone in the showroom was stunned by her extravagance, and a hint of envy appeared on their faces.

Three minutes later, Jenna spent another seven million, bringing the total close to 40 million dollars. Where exactly did all this money come from?

I found myself lost in thought again, remembering how the tycoon didn't reward that "good Samaritan" who delivered the USB drive until 8:00 pm in my past life.

But right now it was only 2:00 pm, which meant there could only be one possibility—Jenna had already met that tycoon, and she had already received a massive reward from him.

It would seem her retribution was going to come earlier than I thought. After all, whatever was inside that USB drive was definitely not something ordinary people like us should ever get involved with.
