I still had some savings from the years I’d worked and I quickly sold two pieces of land by the West Lake in the city, which were home to golf courses I had built.
In no time, I had enough capital to start.
Those golf courses were something I had built specifically to win Thomas’s favor. He liked playing golf.
During the entire construction period, I lived in a makeshift metal shed, overseeing the progress of the project.
When I excitedly invited Thomas to play, he casually brushed me off, saying, "If I have time, I’ll go."
But he never once went.
Later, I found out that his interest in golf was only genuine when it meant he could spend time with Jessica in the locker room, warming up together.
Three months after leaving the Rivers Family, thanks to the business experience I had accumulated over the years and Amelia’s constant encouragement, my career began to rise rapidly.
My younger sister, who had just graduated from college and started working, moved in with her mother to stay with me.
The old place was too small, so I bought a bigger house.
Coincidentally, Thomas and Jessica's new home was just two floors above mine.
