At the dining table, Tyler took his seat and started eating.
As he ate, he noticed his mom looking at him strangely, and he couldn't help but ask her what the problem was.
"I was curious about what you were doing in your room all day. Do you mind telling me?" She asked.
"Yeah... I was working on something important," Tyler replied.
He looked at him mom and saw her looking at him like she's waiting for him to finish.
"Sure, mom. I will tell you but after dinner," Tyler said slowly, sighing internally.
He knew that with how curious his mom was, there was no way he will escape not telling her what he's been up to.
Understanding this, he decided that he would also tell her about his suspension. He had wanted to wait till tomorrow, as the official letter had been yet to be delivered, but he decided that it would be better if she heard it from him first.
With his understanding of his mother's character from his previous life, she would definitely understand if he explains to her what happened.
"Ok. If you say so," Helena said, and continued eating her food.
Few minutes later, they all were done with dinner. Tyler and Devin took care of the dishes, while their mom went up to freshen up and get changed.
After Tyler was done with the dishes, he sent Devin up to go to bed, while he went to the living area, where his mom had been waiting for him.
He took his seat on a couch opposite her. The furniture was old and it squeaked, as he sank into it.
"Mom... I want to give you something," he said, and slowly brought out $5,000 from his pocket.
Before his mom came downstairs, Tyler had run up to his room to get the money ready.
Helena was shocked when she saw the wad of cash in Tyler's hand. With her hand over her mouth, she took long, deep breath, as she tried to get hold of her emotions.
She had wanted to scream out but she quickly covered her mouth, stopping herself from doing so.
It took her a while but she finally got her emotions under control.
"Tyler, please explain what's going on here," she said, with a very solemn expression.
"Mom, it's not what you think," Tyler smiled, and continued, "I won some money from lottery. The amount is a little over $10,000."
"Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait a minute... Did you just say lottery?" She asked in shock.
"Yes, mom. Lottery," Tyler nodded in confirmation.
Helena was silent for a few moments, without any idea of what to say. She was still trying to process everything that Tyler had just said.
Lottery? She had never expected her baby to dabble into something like that. It wasn't exactly bad per say but it goes to show just how bad their family's situation is for him to do something like that.
'At least it was better than him doing drugs,' she thought to herself.
But it still didn't take away that feeling in her heart. That feeling that she wasn't doing enough and that she was the reason why he was forced to do what he did.
Tyler noticed the look on his mom's face and he immediately guessed what she was thinking about.
"Mom... Please don't beat yourself up over this. It was a decision I made consciously," he said, with a small smile.
He got up from his seat and sat down beside her, and held her hand gently.
"Yes, I did it because of our family's situation but it doesn't mean that you're a bad mother or you aren't doing enough. You're the best mom that any child can ever ask for. I just did this because I wanted to help. So, please accept it, mom," he said, slowly caressing her hands.
Tyler saw tears slowly flowing down his mother's eyes and he hugged her tightly. They stayed like that for a while.
After his mother had stopped crying, Tyler started explaining everything that happened to his mom.
He told her of how he played the game, won and begged David to help him. He didn't tell her that he got the money from David, as his mother didn't have to know.
He also told her about the laptop he bought for his work and the phones he bought for himself, and her.
Of course, his mother naturally showed her skepticism when he told her about an online job.
But Tyler did his best to convince her. And though it took him time, he succeeded.
Then, after that came the hard part, which was telling his mom about his suspension.
Since he wasn't the one in the wrong, he told her everything exactly as it happened.
His mother had reacted exactly as he had expected her to, wanting to make her way to his school the next morning before going to work. But Tyler stopped her, telling her to forget about it.
Even after Tyler had calmed her down, Helena still didn't change about going to Tyler's school.
She wanted to know why her child was bullied and no one said or did anything, but when he fought back, they immediately slammed him with a two-week suspension.
She just wanted the school authority to help her make sense of their actions.
Tyler did explain to her who Travis' family is and how they secretly controlled the school's decision. But as a mother, she can't just stand by and watch her child be trampled all over. She must definitely get an explanation.
After Tyler was done explaining everything to his mom, he told her to wait as he went up to his room to get the phone he bought for her.
When he got back to the living area, he gave her the mom and she hugged him tightly, and thanked him.
She nearly broke down in tears but not wanting to ruin the moment, she controlled herself, smiling from ear to ear.
With his mother taken care of, Tyler greeted his mom good night and went up to his room.
When he got to his room, Tyler didn't immediately go to sleep, as he lay on the bed, thinking about his plans.
With the financial bot created, what Tyler needs next is a bank account and a trading account.
The two account will be individual accounts as they will be used for soft trading, and his daily target will be minimum of $5,000 daily.
But the bank account and the trading account won't be enough, as Tyler's actual target is a minimum of $10 million.
But he can't reach a scale like that with just an individual bank account and trading account.
To achieve his target, he would need business bank accounts and institutional-grade brokers accounts.
And the only way to get these would be through setting up a business. And this was why Tyler wants to create a trust and LLCs.
Corrections, multiple trusts and LLCs.
He feels that to achieve the level of daily profit that would satisfy him would be through a minimum of 1,000 LLCs. And each of them with a minimum of $500,000 in daily profit.
This means that Tyler would be making at least $500 million daily. And it sounds unrealistic but it actually is.
"Well, it's not like it can be achieved in a day or short period of time. But I will definitely get there. For now, what I need to do is to convince David tomorrow to open a bank account and trading account under his name. If I succeed with that first, then I can proceed with the trusts and LLCs plan," he muttered to himself.
With his plan roughly mapped out, Tyler closed his eyes and went to sleep.
