Bab 280: Self-control

Kimberly felt nervous when all eyes fell on her as they waited for her answer, "I don't understand the question," she said, stalling for time, while Eric kept watching her as he was very curious to know her answer. 

Wumi quickly explained the whole bet thing to her, explaining both her father's and Eric's stand. 

What was she to say? Could she live without money? "Hmm. I think it depends," Kimberly finally said. 

"Depends on what?" Eric's mother asked curiously. 

Kimberly couldn't help the feeling that this was a kind of test, and to be on the safe side, she didn't want to take sides, "It depends on the quality of people you have around you. I don't think one can ever be poor after being very wealthy, especially if such a person raised others around them. And I also think life is easier when a person is surrounded by people who genuinely love them regardless of their financial status."
