THE RETURN OF THE INVINCIBLE SON INLAW

Chapter 8

ANDREW

He wondered, "Is this person not a member of the family? If not, how did he gain so much power and influence?" He was puzzled and skeptical, thinking to himself, "Does he think I'm foolish enough to believe this?" He scowled, but decided to play along, at least for now.

With a hint of confusion in his voice, he asked, "What are you talking about? Don't your own words sound confusing to you?" He probed further, asking as though he was seeking clarification on the mysterious situation even though a part of him felt like he was about to be lied to.

Mr. Patrick let out a really deep sigh.

"You don't have to pretend, I know the thoughts that are already only going through your head. When I am done explaining, I am sure that you are going to understand everything." He added.

"First of all, I never wanted you to be back to the family. I have always been loyal to your parents and them only.” He smiled briefly and continued. “As you know, your father was adopted and owed all right to the Genius family. That's the main reason that he was allegedly murdered.

However, the fact that you are still alive is posing a big threat. At the moment, they don't know which part of the world you are. Technically, I led you to this area because it's a place that is totally free from their control.

Remember the car crash?" He said, batting an eye..

Andrew remembered the incident from seven years ago vividly. He had thought that the accident was without a base but he was gracious at least that through it, he was able to get in contact with his dear wife that he was currently with at the moment.

There were questions in his heart. Since Mr. Patrick was still talking, he wanted him to spit out all that he had in his mouth at the moment.

Since the area was already a bit public, it would be stupid for Mr. Patrick to try to do anything to him there.

"As I said earlier, I am not working under your grandfather or your uncle. In Fact, at the moment, they all think that I am dead."

"And how I was able to wield so much influence on the Hills, those were never mine. They were borrowed. From you." He revealed.

A sudden cough escaped from his mouth after hearing these words. Mr. Patrick was afraid for a moment. He quickly ran to his young master to ask about his safety.

"Young master, are you okay?" He inquired quickly.

Andrew nodded his head, giving him to go ahead to continue with what he was saying initially.

"Before the death of your father, he could already see that his adopted parents wanted him dead. They never really loved him. So he decided to build his own empire. All the business as already stated owned by Mr. Hills are all yours.``

He brought out a tablet and began to swipe while Andrew watched the screen closely.

"This is the Share-fields business group in Asia, it's owned by your father which is now established in your name. The oil business in part of Asia too. The Jones Estate." Mr. Patrick continued to name the assets that were held by the man that was standing right before him. They were already running into trillions of dollars.

However, he wasn't ready to stop yet

"In total, you have assets of as much as Five trillion dollars that are all in your name." He finally stopped shutting the robotic device down.

"These are all what your father left for you." He ended.

"And why were all these held from me until now?" Andrew inquired curiously.

"Because your father wanted you to go through a poverty program until you turned twenty one. That's the actual reason that I didn't try to stop you when you wanted to leave in the first place, because it made things easier for me, you know."

Andrew sighed. Everything sounded like something that his father would do. He was quite the smart man.

But what if he was making a mistake? As much as he wanted to believe everything that Mr. Patrick was saying at the moment, he still didn't have any reason to trust him.

"You still don't trust me do you? I believe that you turned twenty two today. That's the reason I have been trying to contact you."

"Your father thought that you might not believe and he also made provision for that. You have his cell phone with you don't you?" He inquired and he nodded his head.

"He said that there is an Information that only you know about, log into it and you will find what you need to find." He said.

"When you find out the truth, I will be waiting for you at this location." He stretched his hands out and the address of a hotel was boldly written all over it.

He nodded, boarded a taxi and left without saying much. He was already spending a lot and would not be able to contact the same name if all of this was not true, he was certainly going to go bankrupt for sure.

When he got home, it was empty but Andrew didn't think too much about it.

Just like when his child was sick there was only one thought in his head at the moment, his lovely mother and father. He could still picture their voice in his head and their ever smiling faces.

He got the phone and went through all sorts of verification that was listed on it successfully and a video eventually popped up. His father was with tears in his eyes.

He felt a sudden twinge in his heart at the moment.

"Son, if you are watching this, that means Patrick must have met you and you have turned twenty-one. Believe everything that he told you because they are all true.

Patrick is not only the family butler but he is also a friend. The only person that I could appoint with this task and he is not going to betray me.

There is another video. There is more to things than you can ever think of. Being able to access others will entirely depend on you. Cause knowing will only mean that you want to start a war with the Genius family. Stay safe my son." The video ended.

Andrew's eyes were watery at the moment. There was a mix of emotions flooding through every single crack of his body and his racing heart beat faster.

"I promise that I am going to grow powerful enough as you have said father." Andrew's hands were clenched with determination as he said these words.

Just then, another message popped on the screen and he read through it.

"Mr. Andrew, please claim your VIP purple card that's worth a trillion dollars at the Flinders First Bank"

"This message should be used for your living expenses only and that of your family." The message read and his eyes popped out from his eyes socket.

"I always had a trillion dollars in cash?" He thought.

He was one of the richest men in the world if not the richest at the moment.

Meanwhile, when he was still inside the door slid open. Lady Gaga, Mr. Henry and Kelvin, their only son, walked into the room.

He was almost drunk and his face was rugged.

"Where is that scumbag? I need him to clean the dust off from my shoes immediately." He blotted, falling on the chair.

"Kelvin, just look how drunk you are at the moment. I have already told you to drink but you just would not listen." Lady Gaga said.

Just then, the door slid open and a lady walked into the place. She was pretty but was nowhere near Andrew's wife when it came to point.

Stacy held her cell phone right in her hands and all her attention was so focused on it at the moment.

"Hey Aunt. Have you guys seen this?" She announced without taking her eyes away from the video that she was watching.

"Huh? What's that?" Lady Gaga quickly inquired.

"Look, it's Mr. Hills, the owner of the Hills chain businesses, bowing down to someone. And that's not all - this person was powerful enough to destroy the family of his wife, who was among the top ten most influential families in the city." She announced.

Everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and stared in shock when they heard this. Even Kelvin, who had been acting drunk, suddenly sobered up. They all knew how powerful the Hills and the other family were, so if someone could bring them down, that person had to be incredibly powerful.

Lady Gaga was so surprised that she snapped out of her daze and walked forward to see what was happening for herself. Unnoticed by the others, someone in the room had sneaked out their phone to take videos of the scene, trying to capture as much as they could.

The others too who were stunned recovered their postures and forged ahead towards the videos to see the person that was going to be there.

They watched the video keenly waiting to see who this person was going to be and Lady Gaga still had a broad grin on her face.

For a while, the camera was still focused on Hills and had not moved off from that point at the moment..

Their hearts ached with anticipation.

"I can't wait to see who this person is." She whispered out loud to herself.

"If he is still single, I will have to force that trash can to divorce my daughter and hook up with him." There was a large grin on her face as she said these words, thinking about the heights that their family would be even if they were just friends with the person, talk more of being relatives.
