Because Lynn Ford didn't have a bank account, the three million remained on Iris Dalton's card. Iris had been meaning to transfer it to her, but Lynn needed to open an account first.
"Open a bank account?" Lynn froze for a moment before hastily refusing. "No, no, I'm not opening an account. My mom doesn't allow me to save money on my own."
She attended Lumin-Umbra High School on a full scholarship and financial aid, so her parents didn't have to pay her tuition. The prize money she won from painting competitions and her earnings from part-time jobs all went directly to Mrs. Ford's bank card. Every month, Mrs. Ford would give her a meager allowance for food and transportation. She didn't have a single extra cent to her name. Moreover, every day after school, Mrs. Ford would search her backpack. If she found any extra cash, she confiscated it immediately.
