Riches in Disguise

Just as Jason had sent 15 fireworks, I responded with 15 aircraft carriers. There was no deeper meaning to it-I simply wanted to crush his ego completely. If he enjoyed humiliating others with money, it was time for him to taste his own medicine.

Right after I finished sending the gifts, Benjamin let out a yelp. However, he had jumped up in excitement and accidentally hit his head.

Liam bounced around with his phone, shouting, "Who is this person? 15 aircraft carriers... H-How much is that? I can't even calculate how much that costs!"

Matthew whispered in awe, "It's about 130 thousand dollars. That's enough for my brother's entire wedding!"

Suddenly, a shout echoed outside the hallway, "Anonymous, where are you? Are you in this dorm? Come out!"

I nearly choked on my own spit. This was getting ridiculous-not only had the chat gone wild, but guys from our department were losing it in real life too.

I guess I could understand. After all, 130 thousand dollars was a lot of money to them.

Soon, the chat exploded with speculation.

"Anonymous can't be from our department!"

"Felicia, you must know who Anonymous is, right? Why else would they send such expensive gifts?"

"No wonder we barely see Felicia anymore—she's got herself a sugar daddy!" Felicia's composure was impressive. Instead of responding to the accusations, she stayed focused on her dashboard, verifying the donation amounts.

She would get at least 80 thousand dollars from the 130 thousand dollars. For her first night streaming, this was an incredible windfall.

"Thank you, thank you so much, Anonymous," she suddenly choked up. "Actually, I'm not doing this for myself. My grandpa needs expensive surgery, but my parents can't afford it, and they were going to give up on treatment."

She continued through tears, "I grew up in a small town with my grandpa while my parents worked in the city. I can't bear seeing him being abandoned now, so I started streaming, hoping to earn enough for his surgery. Anonymous, you've saved both my grandfather and me. Thank you so much."

At that point, Felicia covered her mouth and started crying. I had not expected such a serious reason behind her streaming debut, and I was stunned.

However, I could not help but wonder if the 80 thousand dollars was enough for her grandfather's surgery. Looking at her tearful face on the screen, I decided to top it off and send her five more aircraft carriers.

Afterward, I typed out my first message in the chat. "How much does your grandpa need for surgery?"noveldrama

"It's 130 thousand dollars, but please don't send more, Anonymous! I have saved up about 10,000 dollars from working odd jobs after graduating, and my parents have 20,000 dollars saved up too. We have enough now."

Usually, when streamers begged for more donations, I ignored them. But since Felicia was asking me to stop, I decided to send ten more aircraft carriers. With that, it would be enough to cover the surgery with extra for recovery care.

After sending these gifts, I suddenly noticed the chat had gone completely silent. Even my roommates had fallen quiet.

I peered at them and found all three huddled around their phones, frozen in place. "What's going on? Why did everyone stop chatting? Did they all leave?"

Matthew slowly looked up at me, his eyes wide with shock. "Are you kidding? Nobody left-everyone's here! Haven't you checked the department group chat? The entire department is watching, including our advisors and professors!"
