After being dumped, I inherited hundreds of millions of family properties

Chapter 1My wedding was right around the corner, and then my fiancé's mom decided to drop a bomb on me. She wanted us to break up.Her reason? Her precious son had just gotten a job at some top-tier corporation, and apparently, that meant I was now beneath him.She even sent me the company's profile, trying to make me feel small. Funny thing though, it turned out my own dad was the one who owned it!1"Here’s a thousand dollars. Now, get lost and leave my son alone."My fiancé’s mom slammed a stack of crisp hundred-dollar bills on the table in front of me. I was stunned. We’d been planning our wedding for months, it was supposed to be next fall. Just last week, everything was great, so why the sudden change of heart? Why force a breakup?“What do you mean, Mrs. Miller?” I asked, my voice trembling.“I won't be returning that necklace you gave me. Once it’s gifted, it's hard to take it back, so think of this money as payment for it.”I had to suppress a laugh at her sharp, calculating face. So, she wanted me out of her son’s life but still didn't want to give back the gift I gave her. The diamond necklace I had gifted her was easily worth over fifteen grand, and she was trying to buy it off me with a mere grand? Not bad math, I must say.I didn't care about the money. I wanted to know what had changed. With enough prodding, she finally gave me an answer, her face twisted into a snarl.“My son just got a job at a top real estate company. You, on the other hand, just have some dinky community college degree. Do you really think the two of you are compatible now?”Her words hit me hard. Last time we talked, she had asked me about my education. Joking around, I told her I’d graduated from “Tech School University.” So that’s what this is about?I was about to explain when she impatiently jumped up. She snatched the cash off the table, stuffed it in her purse, and eyed me like I was a contagious disease.“The money was there, and now it’s gone. Don't you go bothering my Billy again.”I stared at the acceptance letter from MIT that my old college buddy had just emailed me, a frown creasing my forehead.Dinky community college? Really?2Despite his mother’s rude behavior, I had been with Billy for two years. I wanted to hear his side of the story. When I tried calling him, he blocked me. Just like that!After the breakup, I spent three days sulking at home until my best friend, Sarah, showed up and knocked some sense into me.Spurred into action, I went to the biggest mall in town with Sarah, riding in my fancy car.As soon as we walked into a high-end boutique, Sarah nudged me. “Isn’t that your ex?”I glanced in the direction she pointed and saw Billy on a couch a short distance away, chatting with a pretty woman. They were all touchy-feely, clearly deep in the honeymoon phase.Three days after the breakup, Billy was already on a date with another woman.Sarah's voice was loud enough that Billy and the woman both looked our way.Billy marched over, his face dark. "Lucy, we’re ...
