Ten billion dollars?!
Xavier was shocked. His eyes wide open, his mouth wide agape.
He knew that his grandfather was very wealthy, but back then, he was too young to understand the concept of money. He only knew that the wade family was one of the wealthiest families in Eastcliff and even the country, but he wasn't sure what is net worth was.
Right now, he finally knew. If ten billion dollars were just pocket money it meant that the entire Wade family had a net worth of more than one trillion dollars!
Frankly speaking, at this moment, he was slightly touched and swayed. However, when he thought about his deceased parents and how his grandfather was part of the reasons why they had died, he knew be could never easily forgive him.
Sensing his frustration, Stephen quickly Said, "Young Master, you are one of the Wade family members, so the money is yours. Besides, technically speaking, it belongs to your father."
The Master said that if you're willing to go home, he will let you inherit the family's one-trillion-dollar business empire. If you don't want to go home yet, use this money for your living expenses."
"oh yes, another piece of news-Aurous Hill's largest and most profitable company, the Emgrand Group with a market value of one hundred billion dollars, had been wholly aequired by the Wade family yesterday. All the equities are now under your name, you
can claim your right at the company tomorrow!"
Xavier listened to him in a daze, completely in disbelief.
Wasn't it a little to much investment from the Wade family for his sake!
A premium black card with a credit limit of ten billion dollars, Emgrand Group with the net worth of one hundred billion dollars!
Although Aurous Hill was a land of talents, the only constant honorable existence was the Emgrand Group. It was the champ of Aurous Hill's business industry! any prominent and influential family had to bow before the Emgrand Group, including those families that humiliated him today-the Carter family, the White family, and even the Jones family who was still trying to pursue his wife! They were nothing but lowly servants in front of Emgrand Group! And this magnificent company was his now?
Stephen handed him a business card and said "Young Master, you might need some time to calm down and think about it, so I'll excuse myself now. This is my card with my number on it, please call me if you need anything
Xavier was still in a daze after he left.
He didn't know whether he should accept the compensation from the Wade family.
However, he recalled the past decade of
misery and hardship and the humiliation he had experienced when he married Hazel. This was the compensation that the Wade family was giving him for his suffering,so why shouldn't he take it?
Besides, Mrs. Lewis urgently needed two million dollars for her treatment.
He gritted his teeth as he clutched on the card tightly,then turned back to the cashier department. "Hi, I would like to settle the bill."
The card was swiped, the password was
keyed in, and the transaction was complete .
Two million dollars was credited into the hospital's account just like that.
Xavier felt like he was still hovering in clouds.
Did he just became a billionaire in the blink of an eye?
He went home in a trance.
At this moment, the house was fueled with the wrath of fury.
Hazel and her parents did not live in the Carter family villa but they stayed in an ordinary house instead.
Since Hazel married Xavier and after Lord Carter died, they were kicked out of the villa.
His mother-in-law was screaming in great dismay, "Xavier Wade, that loser! He's such an embarrassment! If you don't divorce him now, your grandma might kick you out of Carter Group!"
Hazel said calmly, "If she does, I'll just find another job."
"Your..." Her mother growled angrily, "what's so good about that loser, anyway? Why can't you just divorce him and marry Wendell? If you marry Wendell Jones, our whole family can hold our head up high!"
Her father added, "You mom's right! If you marry Wendell, our family will immediately become a precious treasure in a the family. Your Grandma will cherish you and pamper you every day!"
Hazel uttered, "Just stop. I won't divorce Xavier."
"You!"
Both parents had wanted to keep on persuading Hazel when Xavier pushed the door open and walked in.
His in-laws give him a dirty look When they saw him.
His mother-in-law snorted in disgust. "I thought you'd forgotten the way home, loser!"
Xavier Sighed quietly inside his heart. His mother-in-law had always looked down on him, but what would she do if she were to know that he was now the owner of Emgrand Group and had ten billion dollars in cash?
However, this was not the time to reveal his true identity.
He had left the Wade family for a long time now, who knew how was the family doing now? What if someone from the family targeted him if he exposed himself?
Staying in the dark was the best option for now.
Hence, he lowered his head and said humbly,
"Mother, Im sorry for all the troubles? I've caused today."
His mother-in-law shouted, " Trouble? this is more than trouble, you're putting us at stake! can't you have the slightest decency and get out of our house?"
Hazel hurriedly interjected, "Mom, how could you say that? Xavier is your son-in-law?"
Bullshit" her mother growled, I don't have such a loser as my son in-law! It's
better if he can go as far as he can!"
Hazel nudged Xavier and said, "Hurry, let's go back to the room."
Xavier nodded gratefully and fled back to the room.
They had never consummated the marriage not even once. Hazel slept in bed while he slept on the floor at the side. Tonight, Xavier found it hard to fall asleep. What unfolded today was a real shock and Consternation and he had yet to digest it.
Before going to bed, Hazel said, "How is Mrs.Lewis doing? I have about one hundred thousand dollars with me now, you can use it tommorow."
Xavier said, "It's okay. someone paid her bill and transferred her to Eastcliff for treatment,"
"Really?" Hazel exclaimed in awe . "Wow!
so, Mrs.Lewis will be fine then?"
"Yes," Xavier said, "Mrs.Lewis has done good deeds throughout her life and helped so be many people. Now, Someone is returning her favor."
"Glad to hear that. "Hazel nodded with a smile. " You can have peace of mind now." "Yes"
"I want to sleep now. There's a lot to handle in the company lately, I'm exhausted."
"What's happening in the company?"
"It's not doing very well lately. Grandma Wants to collaborate with Emgrand, but Carter Group is too weak as compared to their scale. They wouldn't even bat an eye at us"
"oh?Has there not been a collaboration between Carter Group and Emgrand before?"
Hazel laughed sarcastically. "of course not! What are we in the eyes of Emgrand? I bet we look like a speck of insignificant dust to them! Even Gerald's family , Wendy's fiance's family, could barely scratch the tail of Emgrand's business empire. This is also why Grandma is eager for them to be married soon so the White family can help our family build some connections with Emgrand."
Xavier nodded knowingly.
The Carter family had used all the tricks up their sleeves to collaborate with Emgrand Group. However, Lady Carter never would have thought that he owned Emgrand Group now...
Thinking of this, Xavier decided to take over Emgrand Group and lend Hazel a hand in her business. The Carter family did not treat her fairly and they bullied her too much. As her husband, he had the responsibility to help her improve her status in the family. He said in his heart earnestly, 'Hazel , your husband is different now! I will not let anyone
look down on you again! I will make the entire Carter family bow down to you
