The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73: I Accidentally Become Rich

Imperial Hotel.

Sienna feels her step lighter as she enters the staff entrance until her phone buzzes. The sound breaks through her thoughts just as she reaches the elevator.

She pulled her phone out casually, expecting something routine, like a text from Mia or Riley. But her expression changed when she saw a bank notification.

That wasn’t unusual.

She opened the message, and everything around her seemed to stop instantly.

Her eyes moved slowly across the screen, reading the numbers displayed there.

"...Wait?" she whispered. "This is my payment for working as a chef at the mountain villa, right?"

Sienna remembered clearly how much Zachary offered her.

But this number? This number was nowhere near that.

The amount of money deposited into her bank account is ten times her monthly income from working at the Imperial Hotel.

Sienna’s fingers trembled slightly, her grip tightening around her phone as she looked at the number written there.

"This... this has to be wrong," she muttered. "Zach must have entered this zero wrong, right!?"

She agrees with her logic.

However, when she saw the sender’s name, her thoughts paused again.

"...Huh!? Trevor Murphy?" She frowned. The name meant nothing to her. She didn’t remember having any connection to that name.

For a moment, she simply stood there, staring at the screen as if it might offer her an answer if she looked long enough. But the number is still the same.

"This has to be a mistake. There was no way Zachary would give me this much."

She inhaled slowly, trying to steady herself.

"...I should contact the bank and inform them that they sent money to the wrong person!"

Sienna nodded to herself as she made her way to the elevator. But before she could step toward the elevator, a silly thought crossed her mind. ’Should I withdraw it first? The sender won’t notice, right?’

She smiled as she imagined it, but those temptations to withdraw the money faded instantly. She shook her head.

"No. No, Sienna...stop thinking that way."

Hurriedly, she slipped her phone back into her pocket and stepped into the elevator as it arrived, her movements automatic but her mind still racing.

The doors closed, and the elevator began its quiet ascent to the tenth floor. And just as her thoughts started to settle, her phone vibrated again.

She sighed softly, pulling it out once more, her expression already preparing for something normal.

When she finally opened the text message, her eyes widened instantly, shock freezing her in place.

"Good morning, Sienna. Yesterday, I forgot to transfer your side job fee and bonus. I hope you’ve received them by now..." From: Zach

For a moment, Sienna didn’t move. She didn’t even blink, and worse, she almost forgot how to breathe.

Her eyes stayed locked on the screen as she reread the message again and again, as if the text might vanish. But of course it didn’t. The message remained exactly as it was. Unmistakably, the money was hers.

"Seriously, Zach? How big is your definition of a bonus...?" she whispered faintly, her voice barely there.

The elevator continued to rise, but Sienna felt completely disconnected from it, as if she had been left behind somewhere between floors.
