Kate, seeing that she failed to show off her wealth in front of me, ground her teeth. She quickly grabbed the sales associate's hand and pointed to a ruby set. "I want this one!"

Jarred still had some concerns and tugged at her sleeve, lowering his voice. "500 thousand dollars? Isn't that a bit too expensive?"

Kate was practically fuming at this point and insisted on getting it no matter what. She told the sales associate to wrap it up for payment.

However, when they swiped several bank cards, all of them showed insufficient funds. In the end, the two of them nearly emptied their entire savings just to barely cover the payment.

…

Three days passed quickly. Kate had gathered enough money for the house. She went to Angela, completed the transfer, and got the keys to the property.

When I saw that it was about time, I also headed to that residential complex. At this moment, our colleagues had all arrived. Everyone wanted to see how Kate planned to get rich.

Soon Kate and Jarred arrived at the scene. She scanned the people present, and after confirming I was there, she nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, let's all go up together."

Along the way, colleagues looked around at the complex's environment and asked with some confusion, "Kate, this complex is pretty old. It shouldn't be worth much, right?"

"Yeah, there's no landscaping, and it's mostly just old folks living here."

"There aren't any schools nearby either. The only advantage is that it's close to the office, but you've already quit, so that doesn't matter anymore."

As she listened to these people chatter, Kate looked at them like they were idiots. "This house is indeed cheap and not worth much, but there are valuable things inside. Now that the house is mine, naturally, everything inside belongs to me too."

At that, some colleagues immediately thought of news they'd seen online about people discovering millions of dollars in cash in foreclosed properties.

The colleagues were all somewhat shocked, but there were still some rational people who asked, "You've never even been to that house. How can you be sure there are valuable things inside?"

No matter how foolish, Kate couldn't say she had been reborn, so she could only say, "Some secrets can't be revealed."

Her mysterious act actually convinced some colleagues, who immediately flattered her. "Kate, when you get rich, don't forget about us!"

At this moment, Kate's vanity reached its peak. She was grinning from ear to ear.

When we reached the door of that house, Kate took out the key and inserted it, but she couldn't open it no matter what. Her smile froze on her face as she repeatedly turned the key, but the door still wouldn't open.

The colleagues also noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"

Kate forced out a smile. "The key might be rusty and hard to turn."

As she spoke, she applied more force with her hands. Just then, the door opened from the inside.

"Who the hell is trying to break down my door? Do you have a death wish?" someone questioned.
