The Disguised Elite

Chapter 13

Gerald stood unshaken.

"No! What I want is for this bastard to name his price and leave so that you can terminate the marriage your grandfather stamped with him and marry Peter Decasto, because he will help us better!" Mrs utterson said to Bianca in her full glory.

Gerald stared back at Bianca who was full of words about the man her grandmother wanted for her instead... Knowing fully well that Mr. Peter Decasto wasn't into women nor had he ever made attempts to touch her in the past.

She knew Peter Decasto had plans to help, but from listening to Gerald and seeing how powerful her husband was... She had to trust Gerald.

"Mr. Peter Decasto sent his birthday gift! A La Peregrina Pearl worth eleven million dollars." The attendant offered the jewellery to Mrs. utterson who was full of shock.

"Oh my god, La Peregrina Pearl!" She screams excitedly as she stretches her hand collecting the jewellery from the attendant.

The entire family kept silent as they would never expect anyone would be able to find grandma's exact coloured La Peregrina Pearl, it was worth a lot too so everyone stayed excited that Mr. Peter Decasto didn't forget about her birthday, unlike Biancas husband.

"My dearest Peter Decasto is so rich and deserving of my grandchild Bianca, not this loser!... I mean can you all see what he bought for me?" She asked the entire family.

Then Mrs. utterson turned to look at her granddaughter with a soft glare.

"Let me turn the tables around... How about I give you my company shares for free, without you finding an investor, to become the overall owner of utterson Enterprise?" Mrs. utterson offered as everyone stared at Bianca.

That opportunity offered to her was a golden buzzer and she was wasting their time, with jealousy rising amongst the entire family towards her for not replying to her grandma yet.

"Great mother, I will never divorce Gerald... I love him, he loves me and my grandfather utterson loved me too for getting us together, he is my husband and I will not terminate my marriage, Peter Decasto should go elsewhere." Bianca said as she walked closer to Gerald.

Gerald holds Biancas hand as he looks back at his mother inlaw was stunned and full of anger, so visible that it could show over her aggrieved face as she glared terribly at them.

"I want the best for you Bianca... How dare you bring this liability for me to accept, can't you see our family business is at stake? Hold your goat and take it away from here!" Mrs. utterson yells back at Bianca and Gerald.

"You're not welcome here, leave at this instant!" She orders in pain.

Gerald could see how downgraded he was, and he had no rich reputation in the utterson family at this time, so he turned to Bianca whose face still gave him hope to push on.

"Bianca, they probably don't know who the real enemy is here and because you believe in me... I will go and see my friend, to know how he can help me. Even without money, we need to do something to keep us safe." Gerald said to Bianca as he turned to leave.

"Yes dear, get out!" Mrs. utterson added.

"Alright, I will follow you, my husband." Bianca said as she hugged Gerald from behind him.

"God damnit!" Mrs. utterson fires out of frustration as the two were getting on her nerves.

"If you want to dine with him in poverty then understand that you will be disowned and you can take your dumb parents, especially your careless mother, and get out of this great mansion with this useless liability you call a husband!" Mrs. utterson roars at Bianca.

Bianca looked scared because she never expected that her grandma could go that far.

"Please Bianca, I need you here and I will tell you what to do later, so don’t be bothered to follow me okay?" Gerald comforted her, kissing the roof of her palm before walking out.

"Put in more effort while begging, maybe you might get a rich fella to leech on by god's grace." Mrs. utterson joked and everyone laughed, individually mocking him as Gerald stopped in his steps, holding his pain as he walked off.

Gerald walked by foot, trekking out of the Villa as he had no car till reached the mortuary, where his son Nelson was buried.

No matter the insults the utterson family fired at him, he was still determined to save them from the Damiel's family evil plan to crumble them.

"Son, I'm here again." Gerald said as he placed some flowers over his son's grave.

"Your father now has a voice in his head, a systematic power but he has no money to protect the utterson family from crumbling, and his granny has been hospitalised yet he hasn't paid her any visits all these while." Gerald said as his eyes began to water in return.

"I feel like I am failing again in this second chance I have gotten to protect those I love and be happy again... I have nothing, I am penniless and I don't have anyone to help." Gerald said as he let out his tears.

"Master Gerald Monroe, my greetings." Mr. Arthur greeted from behind where Gerald sat.

"Oh Arthur, what do you want from me?" Gerald asked as he turned to look at the old looking man whose eyes were full of tears.

"Young master, I can't keep bearing to know the pains you have been going through, it's time you accept your inheritance as heir of Monroe incorporation." Arthur pleads to him.

"Why? Tell my father and grandfather to leave me alone, they rejected me and my mother, they caused my mother her death, which resulted in my grandmother being hospitalised over and over again, so go and tell them that I don't need their wicked money, I have survived all these while without them." Gerald said back out of hurt as he cried even more.

"Young master." Mr. Arthur broke into tears.

"What?" Gerald yelled back like a hurt animal.

"Your father is dead, he was assassinated." Mr. Arthur states and Gerald's tears stop.

"What?" He asked, shocked.

"He loved you and your grandfather regrets his actions so dearly for forcing your father into marrying someone else, please forgive him and come back home." Mr. Arthur begged in tears.

"Oh damn, the Damiel's family should definitely have a hand in this and you definitely know that I can never forgive the losses he caused me right?" Gerald asked Mr. Arthur.

"You need to pay your grandma's bills and you need to save the utterson enterprise from being destroyed, think about it, you just need to sign over my ipad and your personal account will have access to the entire Monroe incorporation earnings to use for yourself." Mr. Arthur says as he falls on his knees bowing before Gerald.

"Accept the offer and deal with all your oppressors, shock them, and brutalise your enemies to level up further as an urban God." The voice in Gerald's head tells him.

Gerald bends towards the man and raises the man up from his knees before he signs.

"Congratulations!" A smiling Arthur said.

"You have just signed the will of Grandpa Monroe to be the official Central executive officer, As CEO of Monroe incorporation." Mr. Arthur said while Gerald gets a bank credit alert on his phone and he checks to see - six.

"Woah! Did you just send me six million dollars?" Gerald asked excitedly, as he wanted to hug Arthur.

"No, that's actually six trillion dollars for your upkeep, remember you can always request for more if you wish and that will be your new three Billion dollar ride henceforth." Mr. Arthur says pointing at a latest Lamborghini Zi series which had real gold wheels but entirely black as it was parked outside, before handing Gerald the car file, as he stood intrigued.

"Three billion dollars!" Gerald said shocked, he never knew his family was that wealthy to give him six trillion just for upkeep.

"How rich is my family's wealth?" He asked, inquisitive to know.

"Gerald, your family is the world's richest." Mr. Arthur rings a bell that instantly causes Gerald's mouth to fall open in shock.

"You have levelled up, you are now financially an urban God." The voice in his head tells him.

He was now the boss of the biggest incorporation in the world from the richest family as well.
