It wasn't until that moment that I realized my parents had been creating the illusion that our family only had a small grocery store to help me grow in adversity.
In reality, our family's chain stores were spread all over the country.
Excited, I thought to myself, "Is this compensation for my failures in both love and work?
Now, I'm considered a second-generation rich. I need to transform myself!"
I splurged on a new outfit.
On the night of Megan's pre-wedding banquet, I made a grand entrance in a luxury car.
"Hey, country bumpkin, how much did you spend to rent this outfit?" Leonardo mocked.
He embraced Megan, turning to her and saying, "Megan, he is a guest. Should we buy him a drink?"
After his comment, he handed me a glass of wine.
As I reached for it, he quickly took it back.
Realizing his intentions, I no longer held back and shattered the glass of wine that was meant to be poured into my head.
"You can't even hold a glass steady, huh?" I taunted.
Then, I handed over the gift I brought, saying, "It seems this gift suits you well."
Leonardo didn't accept it, but a woman who despised Megan snatched it away.
