My Life of Sudden Wealth

Chapter 1: Good News

"Banks Cabrera, pour out the footbath water for us."

Three women sat on the sofa, just finished soaking their feet. From a distance, the three beauties were sexy and alluring, each with their own unique beauty. These three women were Banks Cabrera's wife and her two close friends.

Hearing his wife's order, Banks Cabrera bent down to pour out the three bowls of footbath water without any complaints, simply because he was a son-in-law. After three years of marriage, he had no say in the household. For the smallest things, he would be scolded by his wife and mother-in-law. In this household, Banks Cabrera was treated worse than a mutt.

Married to Novalee McGee for three years, they were in name only, not in reality. He hadn't even touched her hand! Every night, Banks Cabrera slept on the floor because Novalee McGee looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.

Doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning the house were all Banks Cabrera's responsibilities. One time, while cooking, he accidentally dropped a bowl and was lectured by his wife for half an hour.

One night, when Banks Cabrera got up to use the restroom, he woke up Novalee McGee. Novalee McGee slapped him directly across the face.

That was the first time Banks Cabrera had ever been hit. From childhood to adulthood, not even his parents dared to lay a hand on him! But Banks Cabrera didn't dare to get angry or speak up, he could only apologize repeatedly. That night, he was forced to kneel as punishment.

Three years had passed, and Banks Cabrera had long grown accustomed to this kind of life. Who asked him to become a son-in-law? The most painful thing was that he started to like Novalee McGee in these three years of living together. Even though Novalee McGee looked down on him and constantly called him useless!

Banks Cabrera was originally the second young master of the Cabrera family. The Cabrera family was known as the largest family in Frankfurt. Three years ago, Banks Cabrera used eight million in cash to buy eight percent of Southeast Petroleum Company's shares.

At that time, hundreds of people in the Cabrera family criticized Banks Cabrera, accusing him of going mad and having ill intentions, wanting to empty the family's funds.

With the unanimous agreement of the family, Banks Cabrera was expelled from the family. Not only that, even his parents were expelled and removed from the family genealogy!

In these three years, Banks Cabrera experienced what the real world was. Former friends and brothers all tried their best to distance themselves from him. For the sake of survival, he could only become a son-in-law! He never mentioned this matter, not even to his wife Novalee McGee.

"Novalee, you've trained your husband well," a close friend, Anastasia Zuniga, said.

Novalee McGee coldly chuckled, "Oh, you mean Banks Cabrera? I feel disgusted just looking at him. Others marry into wealthy families, but I ended up marrying such a useless person. Look at him, poor and rustic. It's obvious he's from the countryside. Tomorrow is our family's annual gathering, and I'm embarrassed to bring him along."

Anastasia Zuniga couldn't help but glance at Banks Cabrera, indeed, dressed in cheap clothes, he looked impoverished. Anastasia Zuniga laughed, "Novalee, let's not mention him. Let's talk about something else. I heard your company has encountered some problems recently?"

Novalee McGee nodded, "Last month, we lost millions in the clothing business. Now the company is short of funds and urgently needs five million. We must find an investor to support our company within a week."

Anastasia Zuniga sighed, "But Novalee, who would give you five million in just one week?"

Novalee McGee didn't speak. At this moment, she noticed that Banks Cabrera had already poured out the footbath water and was eavesdropping on their conversation. Novalee McGee glared at him and coldly said, "Banks Cabrera, who told you to stand here? Go and wash my clothes."

"And my jeans, wash them too. They're in my suitcase," Anastasia Zuniga added.

Banks Cabrera didn't dare to complain and put the clothes in the washing machine. He also washed his own clothes. There was a high school reunion tomorrow, so he needed to dress neatly. While he was thinking this, his phone suddenly rang. When he checked, it was a text message. The sender's number ended with -888888-. Seeing this number, Banks Cabrera furrowed his brows. Wasn't this the number of the Cabrera family?

Curiously, Banks Cabrera opened the message and instantly froze when he read it!

"Second Young Master, please help the Cabrera family. We urgently need funds and require your support!"

What the hell?! Banks Cabrera furrowed his brows tightly. The family had kicked him out three years ago. Now, he has nothing, only twenty dollars in his pocket, why would the family ask for his support?

Just as he was thinking this, his phone beeped again, another text message.

"Second Young Master, I beg you, please help our family. The oil shares you bought three years ago have multiplied several times now. I beg you... without your support, the family will be ruined..."

What?! Damn!

Banks Cabrera almost jumped up from the ground! At an unprecedented speed, he took out a purple crystal bank card. This card had been unused for the past three years. It was a symbol of his identity, and each card had a dedicated account manager. He quickly took out his phone and dialed the customer service number!

"Hello, Mr. Cabrera. How may I assist you?" a sweet female voice came through.

"Quick, quickly, check my balance for me."

"Alright, please wait a moment," the woman said slowly. Within a few seconds, she spoke again, "Mr. Cabrera, the balance on your card is a large sum, and we are unable to check it. Please go to the bank's VIP window, present your identification, and then you can inquire about it."

Before the woman finished speaking, Banks Cabrera hung up the phone directly!

Haha, hahaha! The balance in the bank card is a large sum?! Hahaha! Unexpectedly, because of this investment three years ago, he was kicked out of the family, but now, this investment gave him a pleasant surprise! He had no idea how much money was in this card right now!

"Novalee, look at Banks Cabrera, calling to check his own balance," Anastasia Zuniga couldn't help but laugh, saying to Novalee McGee.Novalee McGee also laughed and said, "I give him 200 dollars allowance every day. Over three years, he has saved quite a bit."

"Novalee, you can consider it as raising a dog." Anastasia Zuniga's words fell, and the three women burst into laughter.

Banks Cabrera excitedly ran over and looked at his wife, saying, "The company needs 5 million, otherwise...otherwise, shall I help you think of a solution?"

"Hahaha..." Anastasia Zuniga couldn't stop laughing at all. She glanced at Banks Cabrera and said, "Banks Cabrera, do you know what 5 million means? Novalee gives you only 200 dollars a day. If you can come up with 5 million, I'll call you Daddy. Haha."

"Really?" Banks Cabrera smiled foolishly. "Then remember what you just said."

At this point, Novalee McGee couldn't bear it anymore. Was this Banks Cabrera lacking brains? He was poor and annoying to look at. Novalee McGee impatiently waved her hand and said, "Go away, don't bother me here."

Banks Cabrera nodded and didn't say anything.

That night, Banks Cabrera couldn't sleep from excitement. He couldn't even believe this sudden good news. No, he must go to the bank tomorrow and check his balance personally!

Tossing and turning until dawn, he barely fell asleep. But just as he was sound asleep, he heard his mother-in-law's voice in the living room.

"Banks Cabrera, wake up and drive my daughter to work."

Banks Cabrera heard his mother-in-law Landyn Malone's voice in his dream, but he thought he was dreaming and turned over to continue sleeping. But at this moment, the bedroom door was opened, and Landyn Malone walked in and impatiently kicked him.

"Are you deaf or dumb? I told you to drive Novalee McGee to work, didn't you hear me?" Landyn Malone said coldly.

It has to be said that Landyn Malone, his mother-in-law, was really beautiful, in her thirties. She took good care of herself.

Banks Cabrera groggily got up from the floor, looked at Landyn Malone, and looked completely confused. They had been married for three years, and he had never gone out with Novalee McGee because she thought he was embarrassing. Now she's asking me to drive her to work?!

At this time, Novalee McGee also walked over. She was wearing professional attire and stomped her foot anxiously, saying, "Hurry up, are you deaf? Or do you not want to drive me?"

"I want to, I want to!" Banks Cabrera hastily changed into different clothes, rode his electric scooter, and took Novalee McGee to the company.

Novalee McGee was furious because the company was short of funds and urgently needed 5 million in investment. But they couldn't find any investors now, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy! So they urgently held a shareholders' meeting, and as the company's general manager, she had to be present. But when she woke up in the morning and walked downstairs, she suddenly remembered that her car had been borrowed by Anastasia Zuniga. In a desperate situation, she had to let Banks Cabrera drive.
