Teen Boy Shames Poor Girl for Living in Trailer, Soon She Becomes His Rich Father’s Right Hand – Karma Story

Jeffery spent most of his life being fed with a silver spoon and mocking those who struggled financially. A change in fortune leads him down a path of self-discovery and redemption, where he learns his lesson thanks to a girl who came from nothing.

Pamela was a girl who knew how to make lemonade from whatever lemons life threw at her. Even in her family's darkest moments, she became a beacon of hope. When she was 17, her family was involved in a tragic car crash. Pamela lost her father, Desmond, in the accident.

Her mother, Monica, was left paralyzed from the waist down and could no longer work. The family barely had any savings. Pamela and her mother were forced to move from a rented suburban house to a trailer park, where they rented a small mobile home.

Pamela also works a night job at a nearby gas station to earn extra money. "How do you keep on pushing like this?" Monica asked her daughter. "Because I have to," Pamela replied. At school, word got around that Pamela had moved to a trailer park and faced ridicule during class.

She was called names like "trailer trash" and "dirt poor," but it didn't faze her. One boy, in particular, did find a way to get under her skin. His name was Jeffery, and he was known as the richest kid in school. One day, both of them achieved the highest grades in class, but Jeffery called Pamela's result a fluke.

"Whatever, Jeffery, I work just as hard as you, and I'm just as smart," Pamela argued.

"Oh, please, Poverty Pamela. You will never achieve anything!" Jeffery replied with a cold smirk on his face.

"I'm cutting you off. Starting today, you're on your own."

Pamela was livid and couldn't focus during her night shift at the gas station. In a strange twist of fate, Jeffery's father, Graham, walked in to pay for his tank and recognized Pamela. Graham attempted to make small talk, but Pamela gave him the cold shoulder. "Is it something I said?" Graham asked.

"No, but you tell Jeffery to watch his mouth around me next time," Pamela replied. Graham was taken aback and asked what Jeffery had done. Pamela explained what happened during class that day and why she was in her current situation. Graham was disappointed by his son's actions and apologized on his behalf.

"You know I've been swamped at work lately, and I could use an assistant. I can certainly pay you more than this place can," Graham offered. Pamela accepts. Pamela started earning enough money to save up money for college and started planning to move out of the trailer park.

A few months later, Pamela and Jeffery both graduate. Not only does Pamela finish top of the class ahead of Jeffery, but she also earned an academic scholarship to attend college. This meant that she and her mother could keep all the money she had saved working for Graham.

Jeffery also learned that Pamela had become his father's right hand. That was supposed to be my job, Jeffery thought to himself. Pamela and Jeffery enrolled in the same college but followed very different paths. Without his father there to ensure that he focused on academics, Jeffery quickly fell in with the wrong crowd.

Instead of attending classes and studying, he was more interested in socializing and going to parties. He would often get into trouble with his so-called friends.

"Don't worry, my father will sort it all out," he would assure them.

On the other hand, Pamela was focused on finishing her degree and only spent her free time with the members of her study group. She continued to top her class and care for her mother without issue. They even moved into a small apartment close to the college. Monica was incredibly proud of her daughter.

"From now on, call me Trailer Trash Jeffery."

Jeffery's grades began to slip, and he even developed a bad habit of betting on sports games. He often wasted his father's money and lost sight of his career ambitions. Jeffery had become over-reliant on his family's wealth and became very entitled.

In his second semester of college, he is expelled from school due to a failure to attend class and noise complaints on campus.

Graham was furious with his son. "That's it! You have been fooling around and wasting your family's money for months. Your grades are in the mud, and your college doesn't even want you."

"You used to tease Pamela about her finances, but she's a star in school. It's time for you to learn a lesson about the value of money. I'm cutting you off. Starting today, you're on your own," Graham told Jeffery.

Jeffery was left with no other option but to find a job. After sleeping on his friend's couch for a week, he was told to go and moved into the trailer park. Little did he know he lived in the same rental mobile home that Pamela used to live in. Not only that, but the only job he could find was at the same gas station where Pamela used to work.

Pamela graduated with an undergraduate degree and started a career in law which paid well. She was able to move in with her mother into a lovely suburban home. One day, Jeffery was working at the station when Pamela walked in to pay for her tank.

He expected her to gloat, primarily because he used to bully her in school for being in the same circumstances he found himself in. But instead, Pamela encouraged him. "I just don't know how I'm going to get myself out of this situation," Jeffery admitted.

"Do you know why you're going to get yourself together and get your life back on track?" Pamela asked as she took her receipt from Jeffery. As Pamela made her way toward the exit, she turned back with a smile and said,

"Because you have to."

After his shift, Jeffery called his father, apologized for his behavior, and begged for a second chance. Graham offered to pay for his studies but told him that he would have to figure out the rest. Jeffery accepted and returned to school.

Years later, Jeffery graduated and started his career in law. He soon discovered whose team he would be working on. "Well, if it isn't the richest kid in school," Pamela joked as she welcomed him.

"From now on, call me Trailer Trash Jeffery," he bantered back. Graham called his son later that day to congratulate him. "You have no idea how proud of you I am. It was a long road, but you've finally made it!" He told Jeffery. Pamela and Jeffery would go on to work together on many cases.
