Chapter 13: First Real Money
Victoria was clearly surprised. She had not expected Liam to be so eager to visit her house.
For a brief moment, the thought of him pulling her into something far more intimate flashed through her mind, but she quickly pushed the filthy idea away.
She could not misunderstand this child again. He was already pitiful enough as it was.
"Okay, we will keep in touch via Telegram tomorrow. I will buy groceries and cook you something delicious so we can have a good chat."
Hanging out was impossible, so Victoria deliberately emphasized the motherly tone between them. How could Liam not understand what she meant? However, he simply pretended not to notice it and smiled gently.
"Goodbye, Victoria."
After watching Victoria leave, Liam walked away carrying the bag that held fifty thousand dollars. His steps were light, but his mind was sharp and calculating.
He was already planning how to turn that dinner invitation into something much more explicit. The thought of bending Victoria over and fucking her rough, making her moan and submit to him, sent a hot surge of lust through his body. He kept his expression calm as he walked.
In the height of summer, even the July winds felt hot. Yet Liam moved with purpose. He was not one of those reborn executives who relied on past-life knowledge to make fortunes. He was an ordinary person with a powerful system that rewarded him for conquering beautiful mature women.
A system that gave big payouts for dominating MILFs was perfect.
"Let’s set a small goal for now: become a millionaire. But first, I should give this money to Mom."
Liam knew exactly how much his mother loved him. Even when she had considered moving to evercrest for better pay, she had stayed. In this life, he would take care of her and ensure she lived comfortably.
He would make sure she never had to struggle again.
As soon as he reached the doorstep, Liam called out in a steady voice.
"Mom."
"Okay, okay. I’m here."
After closing the door, Liam saw the cheap high heels his mother had bought from a roadside stall. When he had money, he would buy her several pairs of the best ones.
"Mom, I brought you a gift."
Upon hearing that her son had bought her a gift, Elana, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, spoke with a hint of reproach. "Why buy a gift? It’s a waste of money. We should save for you to buy a house. Don’t keep wasting money."
Although she said that, a warm feeling filled her heart. Her son was thinking of her. This child was truly different from before. He was becoming more focused and responsible.
"No, Mom. The gift I gave you is very special. I earned it through my own hard work."
Liam silently thanked the system again. Without it, he would never have received so much attention in his life.
"What gift? You went to do a part-time job?"
Looking at the black bag in her son’s hand, Elana had questions in her mind.
Taking the bag, she said with concern, "You shouldn’t do part-time work. Kid, just focus on getting into a good university and learning your major well. As for money, you don’t need to worry about it at all."
After opening the bag, Elana froze. It was money. Five bundles of one-hundred-dollar bills totaling fifty thousand dollars.
After a long moment, Elana regained her senses. She closed the window and whispered urgently, "Son, tell your mother the truth. Did you steal someone else’s money?"
Fifty thousand dollars in 2010 was an enormous sum. Even in later years, not everyone could produce that amount easily. So when her son suddenly brought home so much cash, Elana instinctively feared the worst.
"No, Mom. You don’t need to be so scared. I taught myself some computer programming and helped a boss solve a problem for his company. So he gave me a reward of fifty thousand dollars. It was not obtained by breaking the law."
"Don’t you know me? I wouldn’t dare to steal money."
Elana thought about it and realized Liam was telling the truth. He really did not have the guts to steal.
"But you don’t have time to learn computer programming. You don’t even use the computer at home."
"Mom, I learned it all by myself when I went to internet cafes."
Elana looked at her son, excitement shining in her eyes. It turned out her boy was so talented.
He had taught himself programming and earned fifty thousand dollars at only eighteen years old. This made her incredibly proud as a mother.
After confirming the story with Liam several more times, she finally believed that her son had truly earned the money through his own skills.
"Son, you are amazing. I am so proud of you."
"Mom will save this forty thousand dollars to move into a better apartment. Take this ten thousand and spend it wisely."
Liam took the ten thousand dollars and spoke evenly, "Mom, you really trust me with so much money?"
"My son has grown up."
Elana looked at him, her face filled with pride. "So Mom believes you can manage this ten thousand dollars well. Besides, you are an adult now, and you will need money for things like dating."
Liam accepted the money. He could not give her the rest yet. Otherwise, it would really scare her.
"By the way, Mom, I will be able to cover my living expenses in college and even save some money by using programming. Please don’t even think about working at that place. I really can’t bear to part with you."
After seeing that her son had earned fifty thousand dollars, Elana completely gave up the idea . Her son was willing to part with himself, but how could she part with her only child? This was the only piece of flesh and blood she had left in the world.
"Don’t worry. Mom won’t be going to evercrest. You can’t go to evercrest either, and you don’t need to work overtime. You can just go to work as usual.
I will transfer money to you on time every month from now on."
Elana was a little stunned. It truly was a mother’s heart that was connected to her child. Her son already knew what she was thinking.
Liam stood there with a steady gaze. His mind was already elsewhere thinking about tomorrow’s dinner with Victoria and how he would dominate her body, fucking her hard until she submitted completely.
The system had given him the perfect mission. He would make these mature women crave him.
