Apparently, I am the child of wealthy parents

Episode 2

Erwin, who glanced at his bank account SMS notification showing a deposit of 2 billion rupiah, was utterly astounded.

"Could it be that what she said was true?" Erwin was filled with excitement, yet his common sense lingered and he thought it through.

"Just check it at the ATM!"

With this in mind, Erwin hurried to the nearest bank and sprinted to the ATM machine. Upon arriving, he inserted his bank card from his wallet into the machine. Once logged in, he saw the balance displayed on the ATM screen: Rp 2,001,600,000.00.

"The money is really there!" Still in disbelief, Erwin began to withdraw cash from the ATM.

The ATM's single withdrawal limit was only up to 10 million rupiah. After verifying the 2 billion was indeed on his card, he immediately withdrew 10 million rupiah.

When he saw that 10 million rupiah had indeed come out from the ATM, Erwin's enthusiasm grew, and he withdrew three more times, successfully withdrawing a total of 40 million rupiah. Erwin was starting to believe his mother's words.

"So it's true." Erwin quickly took out his phone and called his mother, filled with fervor.

The call connected promptly.

"Mom, when did our family become so wealthy? Did you sell our land and house?" Erwin still couldn't believe his parents could have so much money.

"Son, our family is actually very wealthy. Your grandfather is the head of a top world consortium, and your father manages one of the top 50 leading groups in the world, so our family is indeed loaded." His mother's voice was heard again.

His grandfather being the head of a top world consortium and his father, a major group leader, while he, Erwin Smith, was a poor boy who couldn't even afford rent and was left by his girlfriend. Wasn't the gap too wide?

"Mom, don't scare me, are you sure what you're saying is true?" Erwin was still in disbelief about how esteemed his father and grandfather were.

"It's all true. Your grandfather and father were afraid of spoiling you, which could lead to a bad attitude as you grew up, but now you're an adult and understand that making money isn't easy, so now is the right time to tell you the truth. This is a family custom passed down through generations; your father went through the same thing."

His mother's words left Erwin overjoyed and at a loss for words, almost driving their son to despair to the point of contemplating jumping off a bridge!

"If you still don't believe it, go find Damon Brown from High Build Group; he's the head of the Clear Water Department in Bandung and is also your personal assistant moving forward. Additionally, you're engaged to a famous celebrity in Bandung named Jocelyn Taylor."

Erwin was shocked before his mother's words finished.

It turned out that the general manager of the High Build Group in Bandung was his own personal assistant, and Jocelyn Taylor, the famed daughter of the Taylor Group, was his fiancee.

Both pieces of news were like bombs to Erwin's ears, leaving him stunned and exhilarated.

Oh my God, his own identity was this incredible? Erwin thought he was dreaming, so he pinched his own face hard, and the pain confirmed to his skin that all of this was real, indeed he was the child of wealthy parents!

But the surprises weren't over yet; his mother's words rang from the phone again.

"I sent a black gold SVIP card a few days ago, backed by your grandfather's consortium, usable at any bank globally. If you need money, use that card directly, as it's limitless, accessible only with your fingerprint."

Hearing about the limitless black gold SVIP card, Erwin's heart raced. Wasn't this unfathomably wealthy?

"Mom, I'm hanging up now; I need to process all this." After Erwin hung up, his emotions were a whirlwind as he had just transitioned from poor to a young wealthy man, and needed time to digest it all.

"So, I'm the rich man's son; no one can look down on me now." Erwin grinned slightly, and a surge of confidence spontaneously erupted.

"Compared to Jocelyn, Leticia is but a sparrow on the ground." With this thought, Erwin's mind suddenly widened, and he put his heartbreak behind him.

"By the way, Mom might have shipped the black gold SVIP card to my rental address; I have to fetch it fast." This thought sparked urgency in Erwin.

Previously, he had angered the landlord to the point of ejection, and it would be disastrous if the landlord truly disposed of the SVIP card.

After hailing a taxi from the curb, he quickly returned to his rental home.

Apartment 411 on the fourth floor of Green Field Apartments. This was Erwin's rented abode, which he shared with his girlfriend, Leticia, but living together was now impossible.

Upon his return to the apartment, Erwin found no belongings thrown out in the corridor, which relieved him; perhaps the landlord wasn't that bad after all.

But he was mistaken. Just as he approached the door, a middle-aged figure emerged from his rental unit.

"The landlord's brother?" Recognizing the man, Erwin realized it was his landlord's brother who had rented the place to him.

As Erwin faced the landlord's brother, the brother also saw him and said with a mocking glance, "You're in luck this time, your girlfriend is dating some rich guy, and he paid your rent, so your stuff's still inside."
