"Give me two thousand dollars, right now, immediately."

At the entrance of the Versace store, Stacey Huxley, who was dressed in a professional suit, demanded this from the man right in front of her.

Facing her was Richard Smithson, whose handsome face went pale after hearing her request.

Richard's eyebrows furrowed, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Didn't I just give you one thousand two days ago? Why do you need money again?"

"One thousand? Ha, are you living in the last century?" Stacey rolled her eyes. "What can one thousand do? It will be used up by buying my skincare, makeup, and clothes, okay? Stop dawdling and pay up!"

Holding back a headache, Richard reluctantly asked, "Stacey, what are you planning to buy this time?"

Stacey pointed to the luxurious boutique behind her, "See that? I am an assistant here. Don't you think I should buy some luxury products for myself? How can I convince the customers to buy anything if I don't buy anything for myself?"

Richard felt his temples throbbing, and explained helplessly, "Stacey, I really don't have any money left. To support you, I work overtime every day until late at night, and even have to deliver takeout. Last night, an angry customer splashed water all over me, and I'm still running a fever. I dare not even go to the hospital..."

Before he could finish, Stacey interrupted him impatiently, "What does that have to do with me? Even if you get some terminal illness, you have to give me the money today!"

Richard was immediately filled with rage, extremely disappointed with his self-centered girlfriend Stacey.

However, Stacey continued to act unreasonably, "Don't pretend to be poor with me, Richard! If you really have no money, have your parents sell their house. My brother still needs sixty thousand dollars for his wedding, and selling your parents' house happens to solve two problems at once!"

"Stacey, you!" Richard was so angry that his eyes went red.

"What 'you' are you referring to? Let me make myself clear - don't give me any crap about your parents being old and unable to sell their house." Stacey crossed her arms over her chest, her eyes as cold as ice.

"Aren't your parents just old farmers from the countryside? Haven't they endured all kinds of hardships already? Even if they were to sell their house and start living in cardboard boxes on the street, it couldn't possibly kill them on the spot, could it?" Stacey said angrily.

"So you better call your parents right now or we're over!" Stacey finished speaking, waiting for Richard to beg for mercy as he had always done.

After all, in her opinion, Richard was nothing more than a bootlicker who was always obedient to her every whim. Every time she mentioned breaking up, it sent Richard into an utter panic.

"Stacey. Alison. Huxley." Richard looked at his girlfriend in front of him, the last bit of affection he had for her vanishing into thin air.

Just then, Richard heard a robotic voice, which went off in his mind.

"Ding! The system has detected a suitable host. The Life Star System is connecting to you." The AI voice said.

"Ding Dong! The Life Star System has connected successfully. The system has detected that Richard, the host, is facing a dilemma and provides the following options." The AI voice continued as they listed the two options.

"Option one: Beg humbly at Stacey's feet, plead not to break up, and receive a reward of 100,000 in cash."

"Option two: Break up with Stacey, your gold-digging girlfriend, receive a cash reward of one million, with the chance of earning additional rewards."

Richard was stunned for a few seconds. His mind went completely blank. He had read quite a few web novels and was familiar with this kind of system. But he never imagined that he would one day be on the receiving end of such good luck!

"Richard, are you deaf? I'm talking to you!" Seeing Richard's disoriented state, Stacey raised her voice, bringing the attention of the salesgirls at the other counters.

Upon regaining his composure, Richard glanced at Stacey's face filled with scorn, a chilly smile creeping up his lips: "Stacey, I've had enough! From today onward, we have nothing to do with each other!"
