'He's lying to me, but why?' Andrew thought in his mind as he looked at the doctor.
Andrew held back his emotions, and he stepped out of the doctor's office without saying a word.
Andrew walked into the room where the hospital had kept his mother, and he sat by her side.
There was nothing he could do if the doctor refused to treat his mother.
He could only wait until the surgeon was free.
Then a thought came to him.
If the system could instantly give him a sum of one billion dollars, then, maybe it could help with his mother's surgery.
"System, I need a surgeon for my mother's surgery," Andrew said with hope in his eyes.
[Searching for top surgeons.]
[Surgeons located.]
[What do you need a surgeon to do?]
Andrew's eyes widened in delight at hearing the reply of the monotone voice.
The system was the answer to his problems.
"My mom needs a heart and kidney transplant." Andrew said in an instant.
He would show that doctor that he wasn't to be messed with.
[Narrowing search to surgeons specializing in heart and kidney transplants.]
[Search complete.]
[Two proficient surgeons located.]
[A Cardiac surgeon named Trevor Kane.]
[A kidney transplant surgeon named Justin Burner.]
Andrew's smile widened when he read the text on the system panel.
"I want them to come here and treat my mother. Use anything it takes." Andrew muttered with a hard edge in his voice.
[Payment successfully made.]
[Contacting surgeons.]
[Twenty million dollars deducted.]
Andrew heaved a sigh of relief as he looked at his mom.
Thirty minutes later, the whirring sound of a helicopter resonated through the hospital building.
The doctor rushed out of the hospital to see two helicopters at the entrance of the building.
Two surgical teams accompanied two surgeons as they entered the hospital, ignoring the doctor, who stood gaping.
"That's Justin Burner and Trevor Kane in my hospital. What are they doing here?" The doctor rushed to stand in front of the two men.
Dr. Justin looked down at him and noted that the man was not worth his precious time.
"We got a message and an alert to attend to the mother of a certain Andrew Raine. We have everything we need. Take us to the patient, please." Dr. Trevor said, looking around the hospital.
He couldn't help but wonder why a rich man would bring his mother to such a rundown place.
"Eh? Mr. Raine? You came here for him?" The doctor said in a shocked tone.
"You are wasting our time." Dr. Justin said before glaring at the man.
"I'm sorry. My name is Dr. Gray. I think you are at the wrong hospital." The doctor rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
He didn't care how Mr. Raine had gotten such expert professionals to come to his hospital and fulfill his duty to Mr. James Winter.
The money James had given him was too mouthwatering to be pushed aside.
Dr. Justin raised a brow in surprise before looking at his phone.
"Here is the address we followed. Do you know hindering doctors from working on a patient could lead to the revoking of your license?" Dr. Justin's low voice held a threatening tone when he spoke.
Gray went pale and instantly gave way to the doctors.
He instructed the nurses to assist them, but both doctors refused and took in their own surgical team.
Andrew stepped out of the room when he saw the two doctors. They looked just like the picture profiles that the system had shown him.
He felt calm because he knew that his mother was in expert hands.
Now was the time to deal with that doctor.
Andrew walked to the doctor's office and was about to enter when he heard voices from the room.
"I'm sorry, Mr. James. I tried stopping them from entering, but I don't know what Andrew did to call in two renowned surgeons." Gray paced around in his office as he spoke.
If he failed to satisfy this man, he would be obligated to return the money he received.
Andrew instantly understood where the problems were stemming from.
It was about time he visited the Winters family.
Andrew called his taxi driver, and he went on a shopping spree.
He was now a different man, so he needed to look unique.
The first thing he needed to do was get a phone.
"I want you to give me the latest phone in this store," Andrew told the sales boy as soon as he stepped into the shop.
"I'm sorry. You would pay before I bring it out." The sales boy lied through his teeth.
He wanted to chase Andrew away by using an exorbitant price.
However, something strange had happened.
A few minutes after the sales boy gave Andrew the company's account, a fat man rushed out from the back of the store as he held his phone.
"Where's the millionaire? Answer me!" The fat man shook the salesman recklessly.
"I'd like to take my phone now," Andrew said. He was already growing impatient.
"You sent me two million dollars?" The manager asked with wide eyes, refusing to believe what he was seeing, and he wasn't the only one with such an expression.
The sales boy couldn't believe his ears. There was no way this ugly man could afford such an amount.
Without wasting time, Andrew showed them the receipt, and the manager and the sales boy almost vomited blood.
"Where did this man appear from?!"
The salesman gave Andrew his new phone, and he went back to the taxi.
The journey continued. Andrew purchased every item that was termed 'the latest product.'
He had gotten a cut from the barber after three months, which utterly changed the way he looked.
Andrew looked at himself in the mirror while he was purchasing some clothes for himself.
He couldn't recognize himself.
Was this the glorious effect of wealth?
Andrew ensured he didn't hold back on spending to look good.
He had spent three hundred million in a day.
Andrew sat in his custom gold-plated limousine with his initials, A.R., by the side.
He held his phone to his ear as he spoke.
"Yes, please, I want to buy every empty house in that estate."
The person on the other line held his breath as he spoke.
This man was someone he couldn't afford to irritate.
"We have fifteen empty mansions in the estate, sir. It would cost you three hundred million dollars."
Andrew didn't speak for a while.
A day ago, he couldn't afford an average house for himself, but currently, he was buying fifteen mansions to spite some people.
He didn't mind it at all.
It seemed like a dream, and Andrew didn't want to wake up.
The estate he was talking about was the Bergen Gardens Estate, where the Winters lived.
After being their son-in-law for some years, Andrew knew most of their hidden secrets.
The Winters didn't fully own the mansion; they had agreed to pay a certain amount every year till they completed the full payment of twenty million dollars.
Andrew was going through his plan to send them out on the streets, but he needed to do it slowly.
Andrew suggested Karen’s first business idea when they got married, and she got famous from it.
However, it was time to take back what she owed him.
"Give me the account to pay into," Andrew said into the phone before disconnecting the call.
He received the account in the next minute, and he immediately transferred the money.
Andrew sat with a bottle of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 1945 in an ice bucket and a wineglass in his hand.
It was midday, and the limousine rode around the vast city to stop before a building.
The Comsor Terrain company. It was just as he remembered.
This company had given a spot to Karen in their shareholding parties.
However, Andrew was about to take charge.
The Comsor Terrain was a cosmetics company and they sold every type of cosmetics.
Andrew had told Karen to go there because she had opened a spa.
The company chose her spa to advertise its brand. This decision made her very popular and attracted many customers. As a result, she became wealthy.
Andrew planned to take over that spot. She didn't deserve to keep it any longer.
He stepped into the company with a stern look on his face.
The Winters were about to regret their actions.
At the Winter's Mansion, Karen sat on the dining table, taking a little snack when she received a call from the office.
Her mouth opened in shock as she tried to register the message.
"What do you mean by the council board ceased the contract?"
Karen couldn't believe what her manager had relayed to her.How could the Comsor Terrain cancel her contract?"Mom!" Karen screamed out.Carmela rushed down the stairs when she heard her daughter's voice."What's the problem, Karen?"Karen stood up from the dining room and arranged her clothes. She had to find out what was going on in that company."Mom, the cosmetics company canceled my contract,"Karen said in a rush while she moved to the door."What?" Carmela was surprised. Her daughter's spa had brought in a lot of customers for the company, including drawing in a massive amount of wealth. It was unreasonable for the company to terminate the contract. "I don't know either, Mother. Tell James to meet me at the company. We have a lot of work on our hands." Karen said as she stepped out of the house.She rushed into her Rolls-Royce and stepped on her accelerator.As Karen rushed to the Comsor Terrain company, she didn't know that this was only the beginning of her problems.Andre

He never imagined he would have so much in one
Inside the mansion of the Winters was a heavy silence which enveloped the hearts of everyone in the wide parlor room as they faced the flat-screened television. "I can't believe this." Karen said with a fallen look on her face depicting the sadness she felt from within.Her mother, Carmela, was sitting with her, and her brother stood at the other end of the room. He had a mug of coffee in his hand, with a frown across his face, and his eyes on the television. They had turned to a news station because Carmela had heard gossip from the women at her elderly gathering about a new spa that would be opened soon."Owner of the top earning company in the city, Comsor Terrain, Mr. A, has decided to increase the discount of the new spa at the Cunningham Hotel to a staggering ninety percent for the first five hundred." The newscaster said with a shocked look on her face, followed by a smile of interest.She couldn't believe that such an offer could actually exist."I can't compete with this."
"I'm still scared." Karen whispered, her heart was beating frantically. James turned towards her and flashed her a small smile, doing everything to take away her fears. "You don't have to be. I heavily doubt it's him. It will never be him." The silence was so deafening that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone watched with bated breath as the figure approached the doorway. Nobody had the faintest idea who it was gonna be. Karen had her heart in her hand despite the fact that James was doing everything to calm her down and ask her not to worry. She felt a foreboding that something was very wrong, and she was rarely wrong when she felt like that. Now it was happening again, in a time she wished it wouldn't. That's when the figure came into view, revealing Andrew. He was dressed in a tuxedo, and glasses. He exuded an air of confidence that commanded the focus of everyone who was present. He was given a standing ovation as he held out his hands for the two beautiful women. They interl
The ball party was gradually drawing to a close but for him, the night was just the beginning. He had a lot of things that he needed to take care of. With Karen gone and disgraced, the rest of the evening was mainly filled with murmurs about what had happened. News stations all over the city were already displaying the events that had taken place tonight. It no longer hurt him that he had done that to her, because he knew she deserved every bit of it. Not long after, the guests began to disperse and the events of the evening gradually faded into the background. Andrew retired at his mansion that night, but he spent most of it awake as he thought about his plans for the future, which was to start the next day. He had already instructed some of his men about the unveiling which was to take place the next day and preparations were already in progress. He slept with a smile that night. The next morning, he didn't waste any time before announcing the opening of his new spa. He had invite
The urgency in her voice was very high as she relayed the details to him. "There is a meeting that you must absolutely attend. You've been reached out to and I highly suggest you attend." Andrew didn't like the urgency and seriousness in her voice. He didn't want her acting all serious and changing the perspective he had wanted to face the day with. He glanced up from his desk and looked at the clock, wondering if it was one of those impromptu meetings. But it was late now, and there was no way he was leaving his apartment for any meeting. "What kind of meeting?"She sighed before replying. "It's the Assembly of CEOs. They have extended an invitation to you to join as one of the top rising CEOs. Your fame hasn't gone unnoticed. And from the way this information was stated, I think they want you urgently. A date has been set already. Their next meeting will be coming up in a few days. An exclusive card that will get you access to the venue has also been sent and will be handed over
Of course Andrew wasn't allowed to go scot-free after walking out on the council. It was a very shocking behaviour, one that was rarely seen among new business owners in the area. The chairman was no doubt shocked as well, but let it slide for the day. They gathered in the meeting room the next day to discuss what he had done and what the solution to his defiance was going to be. Of course the solution wasn't always going to be a good one, but nobody really cared. As long as everyone wasn't getting hurt or losses with his strategic implementation in business, then everyone was OK. The atmosphere in the room was very different compared to what it had looked like the day before. On this particular day, the silence in the room felt so thick and everyone who was present was ready to say everything they thought would be suitable to deal with the situation. It was very important, and they took it as such. "We are back here to address the Andrew situation." The chairman declared as he sto
Andrew saw the confrontation from the Assembly as an opportunity to let let know what he was really capable of doing. If there was one thing he had learnt after acquiring his system, it was bowing to no one because the moment you did, that would be the moment you would be treated like some piece of trash. It was time to take the hotel forward and give it everything he had given to his Spa which was still booming with customers with each passing day. It was still attracting a lot of customers worldwide since he had appointed world-class workers there. "Today is the day," he declared to himself as he walked through the front door of the ongoing construction. His team of engineers were already waiting for him inside and he was about to give them some last-minute ideas of what he wanted about the Spa, hoping that they would be able to fit them into the current plan. One of those was another Spa, a couple restaurants that would be annexed to the main building and also a shopping mall. A
