Riches in Disguise

When I heard that the advisors and professors were watching, I could not help but think it was inappropriate. After all, it seemed strange for educators to watch their students in such suggestive livestreams.noveldrama

"That's strange. So why isn't anyone talking? Did Felicia clear the chat?" I asked.

"Who could even speak after that? Anonymous just completely destroyed everyone!" Liam mumbled.

Benjamin added with a laugh, "While we were fighting over thousand-dollar gifts, this whale dropped 270 thousand like it's nothing. What a world we live in..."

It finally hit me that they were all stunned by the sheer amount I had spent. Before long, the chat slowly came back to life, with messages flooding in.

"Who is this rich dude?"

"Anonymous, are you from our school? Give us a hint!"

"Anonymous, need a girlfriend? 38-22-36, DM me for pics!"

Felicia was sobbing into her hands, but she quickly wiped her tears away and flashed a sweet smile. "Thank you so much, Anonymous. Would you like me to dance? If not, I'd love to perform my favorite dance for you-one I've never shown anyone else."

"Wait," I typed, and Felicia immediately responded, "Would you like to request a specific dance?"

"No," I replied. While I sympathized with her situation and had donated to help with the surgery costs, I had not forgotten my original purpose.

"I don't want anyone freeloading off the dance I paid for. Could you kick that broke poser Jason out of the stream?"

Matthew erupted in cheers when he saw my message. "Yes! The whale is on our side! Liam, you lucky dog-you've got a rich defender!"

Liam's face turned red with excitement. "Whoever this person is, I'll marry him if I have to!"

I cringed at that comment, fighting the urge to throw my pillow at him.

"Of course, Anonymous," Felicia responded immediately. "From now on, I'm

yours. I'll do whatever you want."

After that suggestive comment, she quickly muted Jason, blocked him, and kicked him from the stream.

It was satisfying. Soon, the chat exploded again.

"Wait, why does this whale have it out for Jason? Are they really defending Liam?"

"So Liam's the main character here?"

"I'd go gay for someone this generous!"

Hold on! They were getting the wrong idea.

I quickly typed, "This isn't just about Liam. It's about fairness. At our age, where does our money come from? Our parents."

I continued, "Some of us, including me, were just lucky to be born into wealth. But does that mean those who weren't should be disrespected?"

"Even though I'm rich, I don't think that way. I'm happy to be friends with people regardless of their wealth. Besides, fortunes can change with hard work and the right opportunity, and anyone could become wealthy overnight. Keep pushing forward, everyone."

Matthew was nearly crying after reading my messages. "Now, this is what you call having class! This is a real character!"

Liam was still in full devotion mode. "I wish I could be real friends with someone like this whale, but would they even give me the chance?"

I had to smile at that. I wanted to tell him we were already friends, but I held back.

I did not want things to become awkward between us.
