Priced at 99, Charged 199,999, But I'm the Undefeated Lawyer

After three years of grinding, I'd finally earned the right to become a partner at the firm, and my mom came in from the countryside with two hundred thousand dollars to help me buy in.

Before the partnership ceremony, thrifty as ever, she went to the clearance section of a mall and bought more than a dozen dresses in one go, all tagged at ninety-nine dollars.

But at checkout, the nine hundred ninety-nine she expected turned into one hundred ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine.
