1. The Truth About My Son’s Fiancée’s Parents

Sam Sutton, a wealthy inventor, discovered that money couldn’t buy true love or good health after his wife passed away. When his son Will faced heartbreak from gold-digging girls, he chose to attend Yale disguised as a scholarship student to find genuine friends. His plan worked, and he fell in love with Edwina (Eddy), whose wealthy parents, Marta and Farlow, disapproved of Will’s apparent poverty.

During a visit to Eddy’s parents, Will and his father continued the charade of being poor. However, Sam revealed his true wealth, gifting the couple a brownstone in New York, leaving Marta and Farlow stunned. After learning of Will’s $570 million inheritance, they became supportive, and the couple married, starting a happy family.

2. I Thought I Was Marrying My Dream Man Until Poverty Revealed His True Character

When I first met Walter, I wasn’t excited about the idea of an arranged meeting. But when I saw him, impeccably dressed with blue eyes, I was instantly charmed. His warmth and attentiveness quickly won me over, and within weeks, we were engaged.

However, doubts started creeping in when I overheard gossip about Walter being a playboy after wealth. As the wedding approached, I decided to test his true character. I hired an actor to pose as a homeless man, and while Walter seemed generous, I soon learned he was only putting on a show for me.

Later, I disguised myself as a homeless woman to approach him. Walter’s reaction shocked me—he slapped me and revealed his disgust for the poor. That was the moment I realized he wasn’t the man I thought he was.

I called off the wedding, and while my parents introduced me to another suitor, I vowed never to be fooled again.

3. When I Proposed to the Girl of My Dreams in a Shabby House, She Revealed Her True Colors

Growing up, I saw my mother marry for money, which left my father heartbroken. Determined to avoid a similar fate, I swore I’d never marry a gold digger.

After returning home from studying abroad, I began working at my dad’s company as an intern, keeping my identity as the heir to Hardy Industries a secret. There, I met Linda, a beautiful girl, and quickly fell in love. Despite warnings from my grandmother and best friend Cynthia, I was smitten.

To test Linda’s true feelings, I rented a shabby house and proposed with a five-carat diamond ring. Her reaction crushed me—she rejected the proposal, scoffing at the house and ring, revealing her disdain for anything less than luxury.

Heartbroken, I realized my true friend was Cynthia, who had always been honest and kind. After reconciling, we soon fell in love and got married. Meanwhile, Linda missed out on her chance with a millionaire.
