The Pretend-to-Be-Poor Rich Second GenerationChapter 1

I was from a rich family but I pretended to be poor.

In the eyes of my classmates, I was an unwanted illegitimate child.

Listening to his mockery, I almost burst out laughing but he thought I was crying.

He was so stupid. Just the identities of my parents could scare him to death.

——

My name was Jeremy Franklin and I was a son of a rich family.

My father was the richest man in New York and his business involved 90% of New York's economic fields.

My mom was a diplomat. She was also a best-selling author on a website's novel list. Each of her books was a hit, and she had over a hundred million fans.

I was handsome, had good grades, and came from a wealthy family. I should be a popular figure pursued by thousands of people in school.

But now, I was only called as 'an ordinary handsome guy' by others.

Why?

It was all because of my sister.

She was invited by an international director to make a movie as soon as she graduated, and she even signed a confidentiality agreement for this.

Before the movie was released, she was not allowed to show her face on social media platforms in order to keep the mystery.
