Chapter 60: Elysium Biotech Institute
Rain woke up early, eager and nervous to report to the Prosecution Office. Though she had initially passed on the application, she ultimately decided to join the Smith Law Firm. Fortunately, the position she wanted was still available, favor seemed to be on her side.
"Eat first before you leave," Sanya reprimanded, eyeing her from across the room.
"Yes, it’s still early," Clifford added, massaging his temples. As usual, the breakfast table was set with a meal Sanya had prepared.
"Did you guys stay up late?" Rain asked as she took a seat, opting for a quick meal before heading out.
"Not really, just until midnight," Clifford replied. "Also, I sent you the full report on your growing funds for the last quarter."
"I’ll check it later," Rain hummed, nodding appreciatively. Clifford was her fund manager, the one who had turned her modest earnings into a growing fortune.
It was funny how it all began. Back in high school, Rain had started earning money by helping students with their assignments and projects, charging them for her services.
Since she couldn’t keep her earnings at home because her privacy was always invaded by Dina, she had entrusted Clifford with her money. It turned out to be a brilliant decision, as Clifford, gifted with numbers, had not only safeguarded her funds but also managed to expand them significantly. Clifford had mentioned that he made money by lending it out with interest.
When Rain turned fifteen, she earned even more by delivering a thesis to a college student at a gambling den. The patrons encouraged her to try her luck at the tables, and to her surprise, she was good at it. That was when she started frequenting gambling dens in disguise, as she was still a minor. Her knack for strategy and seemingly constant luck made her a frequent winner.
