Alex was shocked. Ten billion dollars? Who would pull this kind of prank?
Rockefeller Group was formidable in its heyday, with a market value of three hundred billion, but most of them were fixed assets. From what he knew, even his father did not have ten billion dollars cash in the bank. But more importantly, the old man claimed that he worked for William Rockefeller. “You said that you work for my father? That means that Thousand Miles Conglomerate…”
Lord Lex nodded and said, “Yes, the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate is yours, Master Alex.”
Slap!
Alex slapped himself across the face.
Lord Lex said in surprise, “Master Alex, what are you doing?”
Alex replied, “I think I might be dreaming.”
Lord Lex said, “This is all true. Your father, Mr. William Rockefeller, saved my life. If it weren’t for him, I would have been dead by now. Back then, it was Mr. Rockefeller who built Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He then put me in charge of it.”
“Huh?” Alex was dumbfounded, he still thought that it was just a dream.
Thousand Miles Conglomerate was out of Rockefeller Group’s league. It was rumored to have trillions of dollars in assets, and it even had a huge influence in the underground world.
Alex thought to himself, ‘My father created such a behemoth? Yet I have never heard of it?’
Lord Lex spoke again, “Mr. Rockefeller was a genius, not long after he founded Rockefeller Group, he also built Thousand Miles Conglomerate. One for the light and the other in the shadows to complement each other! Besides that, Mr. Rockefeller asked me to give this to you.”
With that being said, he took out a small antique box and handed it to Alex.
With a perplexed look on his face, Alex replied, “When did my father give it to you? Why are you only handing this over to me now?”
Lord Lex said, “Today is your twenty-fourth birthday. This is a birthday gift from your father. A year ago, Mr. Rockefeller had it arranged. Happy birthday, Master Alex!”
Alex was dumbfounded.
Lord Lex sighed and continued, “Master Alex, your mother is in a dire situation right now. As for me, it is not convenient for me to come forward and help. You should hurry! If you need anything, just give a call. The number that I showed you just now is my personal phone number. I will always be on the line for you, master.”
Lord Lex had a weary look on his face. After he was done speaking, he got into the Rolls Royce and left the scene.
Alex was still in shock as if it was all a dream.
The ATM card in his left hand and the small antique box in the right looked extremely real to him.
As luck would have it, there was an ATM machine right next to him. Alex rushed over, inserted the card, and entered the PIN. The balance showed $10,000,000,000—10 billion dollars!
While looking at all the zeros, Alex’s jaw dropped. He then opened up the antique box and found a pitch-black ring inside. “Why did Dad give this to me?” Alex questioned. He tried it on and it fit right on his finger.
Now that he had the money, Alex rushed to the hospital. The most urgent business to take care of was to pay for his mother’s surgery immediately. Her condition would be much better once the surgery was done.
Alex’s mother, Madame Brittany was hospitalized here and had been in a coma since the traffic accident. The doctors pronounced her as brain dead and said that the chances of her ever waking up was only 5%.
As Alex walked into the familiar hospital ward, he saw that it was empty. His mother was not in the bed. Where could she have gone? He quickly ran out of the ward and bumped into a familiar someone.
“Hey, are you crazy, are you blind? Oh, it’s you. The famous piece of trash. Are you here to take advantage of me by bumping into me on purpose? Is it because you can’t touch your own wife at home? Well good news, you used to look down on me, but now you don’t even deserve me!”
A woman dressed in a nurse’s uniform loudly exclaimed. Her name was Chloe, an acquaintance of Alex’s. Back in his college days, Alex had dated Chloe for a month. He had then discovered that Chloe was a gold digger and was flirting with many others behind his back and broke up with her.
