---- Chapter 5 Sean lifted his chin defiantly. "Hmph, you're a lousy mom. I'll do way better than you." I shook my head, not bothering to argue. The system asked again: [Who will go first?] With exaggerated confidence, Sean declared, "I'll go! Dad and I will become multimillionaires." The system's tone remained steady. [And in which areas do you believe you'll outperform the one being judged?) "In every area!" Sean puffed out his chest. "I'll bea kind, generous mom-one everyone in class will envy. " (Understood.
