From Zero to Super Son in law

Chapter 4

Everybody was shocked including Moore who was looking dumbfounded.

"I don't think he knows what he is saying, how in the world will he say that in front of everybody. It should be a slip of tongue." Moore concluded in his mind and kept a straight face.

"What did I just hear this old man say?." Lucas asked in surprise.

"You don't have to worry, I know he only said that in order to make him feel better before paying his bills." Jack said and rolled his eyes.

"You are actually right, let's see how he would pay for everything." Lucas underrated, they smiled.

Mr Gilbert looked at Moore and saw how hard he was trying to hide his feelings but he knew better than he does.

He gently placed his left hand on his shoulders. "Let's go into my car to discuss better." He whispered into his ears, Moore tilted his neck to face him.

"Are you serious about what you said a few minutes ago?." Moore asked for clarification, he gave out a smile.

"Yes everything I said is nothing but the truth, that's why I'm inviting you in my car for a private conversation." He explained, Moore looked at everyone.

He turned and led the way out, Mr Gilbert and his bodyguards followed immediately.

A bodyguard ran to open the door for Moore, he entered and Mr Gilbert entered through the other side. Moore rested his back against the headboard.

"I'm seriously confused, how can he just come to me and claim to work for a young master which is me. Was he even telling the truth? or was he sent by someone to harm me?. I can't fathom anything going on here. What should I do?." He thought deeply, he looked at the old man sitting beside him with a smile, then he felt the urge to ask him a question.

"Please tell me the truth, maybe you lied about that just to save me from paying my debt, I totally understand. Are you here to kidnap? Please don't kidnap me, I have no one except for myself." Moore pleaded, Mr Gilbert looked at him and laughed out.

"It seems you don't know who you are, well, neither was I lying to you or trying to kidnap you." He justified himself and paused in order to observe the atmosphere before he continued.

"For a start, you will be taken to a place where you will be living for now." Mr Gilbert informed, Moore was still looking confused, his mind still unsettled.

Mr Gilbert brought out his phone, dialed a number and placed the phone gently against his ear. The person picked almost immediately.

"Mr Dickson, I have found him, so you have to send it to him right away." He commanded and hung the call.

Moore's phone vibrated, he brought it out and was shocked when he saw a message from the bank that 100 million dollars had been sent to him.

"Wow, this is huge, wait, are you trying to bribe me?." He asked with a furrowed brow.

"No it is all yours." He replied to him.

"So what about my family?." Moore asked.

"Your family was the richest in the world, they controlled everything. The money sent to you is just a little out of what you have." He explained softly.

"Wow, this is unbelievable." Moore expresses shock.

"You will get to know more as the time goes on." 

"Who are you to our family? How did you know I was part of the family?." Moore questioned again.

"Do I have to answer that now?." Mr Gilbert asked with a scoff.

"Yes you have to answer me." He replied sharply.

"Okay, I am Gilbert, one of the Elders. I recognised you immediately I saw the mark on your neck. Only members of your family have it. We have been looking for you since all these years, we almost concluded that all the members of the family were wiped off, but thank God I saw you today." Mr Gilbert explained in detail, but not detailed enough for Moore.

"Are you the only Elder alive?." Moore asked again.

"No, please let's suspend this conversation, I know you have a lot of questions to ask me but I will make sure you get answers later." He pleaded, Moore looked at him and nodded.

"I am beginning to believe him, let me say I believe him totally. But what actually happened to my family? Where are they? I'm I the only one alive? Where are the Elders? Who are they? I need to know everything. He was right though, I have a lot of questions to ask him which I would require detailed answers. I hope he will be able to answer me later." He thought deeply and exhaled.

The car was driven into the compound, another car followed. The bodyguards came down and opened the door for them and they came out.

Moore's jaw dropped as he looked round the gigantic villa he was in. The villa was painted in blue, gold and brown. Even though it was late, the beauty of the villa could still be seen properly.

"Wow this is huge, this is the most expensive villa in the city. Fiona told me a lot about it, I never knew I would be here one day." He thought.

"Do you like it?." Mr Gilbert asked all of a sudden.

"I love it, is this for me?." He asked with curiosity.

"Yes, it is all yours and everything in it." 

"It is very beautiful, I never knew it was as beautiful as my ex-girlfriend describes. She used to pressurize me to get good jobs and have my own villa, but she wasn't patient enough to move in with me." Moore stated sadly, Mr Gilbert patted his shoulders.

"She doesn't worth anything at all, thank God you got to know her before you have this." 

"You are right Mr Gilbert, thank you so much." 

"You are welcome young master, I would like to take my leave now, see you tomorrow." Mr Gilbert said and got into his car.

Moore looked at the villa with a big smile on.
