The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Thirty-Seven: CONCLUSION
The trio now sat in the living room with all eyes on Marcus. It was unnerving being in such a foreign place and having all this information forced down his throat but when Micah led him to the living room and asked him to tell them how he survived on his own for years, Marcus didn’t think to hesitate.“Long story short, I grew up at an orphanage. No family wanted me so by the age of eighteen I was thrown out to fend for myself. Luckily for me, I managed to get a scholarship to go to college since the orphanage helped us through highschool and all that. It was mostly due to funding from some NGO but it helped. I went to a no name school and learned architecture. I graduated with a high enough GPA for me to land a job at a big company at the time. Wong Facilities.” Marcus explained, his eye catching Eric’s stoic face turned into a frown. It seemed like he already knew the story. After all, he was the one who found Marcus in the first place. Still, Marcus continued. From what he had lea
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Thirty-Eight: THE NEW CEO
News reporters and every form of entertainment press stood outside the Wei Conglomerate building with flashing cameras and mics hoping to get a glimpse or even a notable speech from the men that called them out that day. The crowd stretched far beyond the building's perimeter, their excitement palpable in the morning air.Marcus and his father, Micah stepped out from the building and onto the podium that stood atop the steps of the building and overlooked the crowd that formed on their property. Eric and Marcus' secretary Lori, who he had flown out to meet up with him, stood beside them as Marcus and Micah stood side by side smiling at the crowd. Marcus couldn't help but notice how similar their postures were – both straight-backed and commanding, though his father carried decades more experience in his bearing. Truth be told Marcus knew nothing about why he stood beside his father. He only knew that he was going to be announced as the next heir since the paternity test had been carr
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Thirty-Nine: OLD AND LOST MEMORIES
The next morning after the big press conference, Marcus was surprised when he was woken up early by Eric. He had been expecting to be woken up that early like the day before especially when the week had ended. “It's the weekend, Eric, why are you waking me up so early?” Marcus asked as he yawned and stretched in bed. Eric chuckled as he pulled the blinds away, letting the light flood into the room. “You of all people should know that you must not be the heir in words only. You have to at least have basic knowledge of your father’s business if you are to inherit it all from him. I know that you already know how to run a company but what your father owns is far bigger than that, so we need to teach you some important things if only you’re willing to learn. Knowledge is power after all.” Eric replied, standing to the side. “Can’t we start later?” Marcus asked, groaning. Why was this necessary? “You need to get used to waking early even here, Marcus. It will be a normal routine for y
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter Forty: A PARTY?
Marcus sat back in his chair after the three board members of one of the subsidiaries of Wei Conglomerate left his office a bit disappointed as Marcus had informed them that they were doing poorly in some areas. He rubbed his chin and sighed. He knew that he was new to the job but he didn’t expect them to be a bit arrogant about it from the start. Regardless, they would have to listen to him. He was their boss after all. Just then there was a knock on his office door, causing Marcus to turn his attention to it.“Come in.” He said out loud.Lori walked in, her hair in a high ponytail and her nose buried in her tablet when she spoke. “How was it?” “As expected. They don’t respect me. Yet.” Marcus answered, putting some file on his desk to the side as Lori walked up and sat across from him. “They’ll come around. They always do. In the meantime, your next appointment is with the potential investors of Burbank. Do you need anything while you wait?” She informed him before asking, her ey

"Welcome back." He said under his breath. Once Elias finished speaking Marcus was able to get free of his hold. It wasn't bad or anything, hugging for long just made Marcus a bit uncomfortable. He smiled at his supposed grandfather, noting that the man wasn’t as old as he expected him to be. He had bought a gift for an old man but his grandfather looked anything but that. "Thank you." Marcus said still not able to get over the fact that this man was finally standing before him. His hand went to his pocket ready to bring out the gift that he bought and revived last minute when Elias spoke up."I can't believe I'm looking at my grandson after all these years of looking for you. I'm sorry we couldn't find you earlier but I'm glad you're with the family now." Elias mentioned, still holding on to Marcus’ shoulder. Elias turned at Micah, gleefully."He has your features and if what you've told me on the phone is true then he's more like your late wife than you."Marcus' mother. Elias had

"Rachel, this is my grandson Marcus. Marcus, this is Rachel Allison Blythe , your soon to be wife."Both Marcus and Rachel stared at Elias incredulously forcing themselves to believe that what he was saying was a joke but their hopes were shattered when Elias spoke again."Before any of you say anything this has been what both your father's and I wanted to happen and although Bruce couldn't make it today, due to his medical condition, he wanted me to break the news to you both."Standing before him was the daughter of the legendary businessman Bruce Blythe and the current CEO of a rival company, Blythe Conglomerate. They should have been talking strategy or a compromise but here they were, speaking about a potential marriage when they could be sharing ideas and business plans on how to get their company to grow. The Blythes were one of the most powerful business families in the world, the Wei’s being behind only them in the city of New York. Unfortunately, Bruce Blythe was not doing
The Overnight Billionaire's Revenge Chapter One: BETRAYAL
Marcus Chen's fingers traced the edge of his coffee mug as he stared out the window of his in-laws' mansion. The morning sun painted golden streaks across the marble floors, but even its warmth couldn't pierce the perpetual chill that filled this house. Five years of marriage, and he still felt like an unwelcome guest at the Wong family's breakfast table. Still felt like an outsider even though he had done so much for them. "I see you're still wearing that pathetic excuse for a watch," Eleanor Wong remarked, his mother-in-law, her voice dripping with disdain. She adjusted her pearl necklace, making sure the movement caught the light. "Victoria deserves better than a husband who can't even afford proper accessories." She said with a scoff before glaring at Marcus. Marcus swallowed the familiar taste of humiliation. The watch had been his father's last gift before passing away and for the first time in a long time, he had decided to wear it that morning. Guess it was the wrong choice

Chapter Thirty-Six: THE PAST
“When you were still a child, almost two years old, you were taken from us. I had just started making good money back then, my company was flourishing and I got arrogant. I was warned by my father, your grandfather, not to take a particular deal that an older rival company was vying for but I didn’t listen. I felt like I could take them on because I had already achieved so much at a young age. After successfully getting the project started, we threw a party to celebrate the success of the project launch. Your mother and I were in attendance while you were home with your nanny. We couldn’t take you that day because you weren’t feeling well. When we came home that day, you were gone. Our home had been invaded by armed men, they killed all the security guards and the house staff. We searched everywhere but couldn’t find you, then I received a call shortly after. The CEO of that rival company called me and told me that he was responsible for your kidnapping. He wanted me to know that he w
Chapter Thirty-Five: MEETING THE FAMILY
The car ride was spent in silence between both of them till the car came to a stop in front of a gate made of gold. Just the gate seemed more expensive than the entire Wong mansion. Marcus’ own even. As they approached the gate, Eric pressed a button to open the outer gate, signalling that the mansion had a visitor. As they got to the security post, it spoke. It was an AI gate and only really wealthy people could afford them. Marcus had contemplated getting one but decided against it. “Please identify yourself.” The gate said as Eric rolled down the window to speak.“Eric Wei.”“Voice recognition, success. Welcome, Mr Wei.”The inner gates opened automatically and Marcus' eyes widened . Calling it a mansion did not do it justice as it looked more like a luxury estate. He had money but this was far over the top. Extremely so. How could one person own all this? Streetlights lined the driveway, and each of them were made of gold, not gold paint, real solid gold. It took almost ten minut
