Dave's face went pale. “Y-You're kidding, right? $2 billion? That's a fortune. We don't have that kind of money.” “That is why I call you useless,” Madame Aurora fired. “Each one of you can't even boast of $100 million.” Glenn raised his hand. He was Madame Aurora's eldest offspring. “Mother, no matter how you stress it, it's impossible for us to raise $2 billion. Hell, not even the bank would loan us such an outrageous sum.” Madame Aurora wrinkled her nose at him. “Alas, you're just as useless as your son, Glenn. It's no surprise, like father like son. You two take after each other.” Dave and Glenn's veins stuck out in their forehead. Madame Aurora's insult hit them deep, but they kept their mouth shut. It wasn't worth it to talk back to Madame Aurora. The MOMO family depended on her for survival. All their financial holdings were penned under her name. This was what made her the most important member of the MOMO family. A maid brought in a tray of tea in beautiful chi

Madame Aurora summoned a second meeting by 10pm. Two meetings in one day were uncommon in the MOMO family, but Madame Aurora was in a mad frenzy. She had just watched the news and her bank manager was blowing up her phone lines. He was asking one question: “Why didn't you invest in Rockechilds Empire?” If she had purchased some excellent stocks, she would've been worth at least $500 million. Madame Aurora could feel her blood pressure rising. Only fifteen people in the world bought Rockechilds Empire stocks when the stocks were low. Everyone called them a bunch of mad men, but those guys were now worth billions of dollars. Madame Aurora needed to see her family or else she might lose her mind. She, in particular, wanted to see Moses. The MOMO family were once again gathered at the Imperial hotel in the conference room. Madame Aurora was pacing around, her face knotted in an impatient frown. “I was sure I summoned everyone. Where the hell are Valeria and Moses?” “W

The Doberman clan was a four hour train journey to the Western part of the Twelve cities. They controlled many lands and estates, which was how they generated their wealth. It was 12am when Moses arrived at the Doberman's clan. He rode a taxi through the imposing gates of the Doberman's residents. When the taxi pulled up before the giant mansion of the Doberman's chief, a crowd of fifty people gathered around to welcome Moses. Suddenly, the crowd fell to their hands and knees and bowed deeply as Moses stepped out of the taxi. “Welcome home, Young master.” They chanted in unison, their voice trembling. Moses said nothing. He stared at his clansmen, a cigarette burning at the end of his mouth. These were the same men who had beaten him up and kicked him out of the Doberman's clan. Just then, the double door to the mansion swung open, and a man came walking out, flanked by Albert. He was the Clan Chief, Robert Doberman. Robert Doberman locked gaze with Moses as he app

“This is the best thing that's ever happened to the MOMO family,” Madame Aurora celebrated as she popped open a champagne. “Let's celebrate.” she poured wine into Valeria's glass. “With the Gates Group backing us up, we'll be unstoppable.” Lucas laughed as he handed her his glass. “Take it easy, Madame Aurora. The Gate Group won't disappoint you. As we speak, Gate Group invested heavily in Rockechilds' shares. Money is never our problem.” Madame Aurora's eyes widened. “That's the Gate Group for you. I'm blown away by how wealthy your family is.” Valeria smiled, linking her arm in Lucas'. “Lucas was the perfect choice, grandmother. I never understood why you hooked me up with a loser like Moses from the very start,” Valeria pouted. “I couldn't stand him.” “Matching you and Moses was my greatest mistake,” Madame Aurora admitted. “I hadn't foreseen the Doberman's downfall. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have paired you off with Lucas a long time ago.” “Can we sto

There was a stiff tension in the Imperial Hotel as every staff was informed of the mysterious John Smith's arrival. Madame Aurora had given strict instructions: On no account must anyone offend John Smith. A bad review from someone as wealthy as John Smith could ruin their reputation. Madame Aurora was all about good reputation and five star reviews. She values her reputation more than she values money. John Smith was scheduled to arrive at the hotel by 9pm.The Imperial Hotel was on standby to welcome this mysterious wealthy man. Moses stood outside the entrance, dressed in an immaculate bellhop uniform. Standing beside him was his ex-wife, Valeria. "It's odd, isn't it?" Valeria began. "That John Smith would pick you to serve him."Moses didn't say anything. Valeria frowned. Moses haven't talked to her ever since their divorce papers were signed. "I understand if you hate me now, but don't forget I'm still your superior in this establishment," she said, her voice at edge.M
