Chapter 258: Living as a Character from the Book (5k)

"The biggest difference between that Ancient Novel and 'I'm Too Rich,' is that in the former, the protagonist announced his newfound wealth immediately after receiving part of his inheritance."

"It was only because the will required it that he did not need to spend that portion of the inheritance within a set time."

"In 'I'm Too Rich,' however, because he feared Frank might take the inheritance using his status as a guardian, the protagonist Carl chose to conceal everything and secretly spent money like mad."

"In the first scene, Carl took his ex-girlfriend, the mixed-race daughter of a Black police officer, on a shopping spree then to a fancy restaurant, hoping to win her back."

"Of course, given the protagonist's experience, that level of 'fancy' was probably equivalent to moving from Bronx District to Brooklyn."
