2024-04-18 01:17:30Richard struggled to make sense out of what his grandfather had said.He was still yet to overcome the shock of finding the identity of his parents,yet his grandfather had dropped another shocking news.for him.He wondered how many times he would be surprised before he would be able to take a break.
“The Morgan Empire heir?” Richard asked.
“Yes, you are the Morgan Empire heir” Richard grandfather answered.
Richard was shocked once again.As a student in school he knows what a business empire was.He was aware that anyone who claims to have an empire was very wealthy.
A business empire is a collection of businesses with the shared highlighted management especially one ultimately under the control of one individual.
Richard looked at his grandfather differently.This revelation explained why everything here was so luxurious and why his grandfather butler was able to drive a car as expensive as a Rolls-Royce.
Richard was confused as he wasn't familiar with the Morgan Empire.The fact he was poor didn't mean that he was ignorant.He also knew about some top companies like the one headed by George Prescott,the famous Prescott winery company of which Dominic was the heir.
“Grandfather,you said I'm the heir to the Morgan Empire? Richard asked.
“Yes you are,” His grandfather replied.
“But how come I haven't heard of any top companies bearing the Morgan name?
His grandfather however sighed when he heard his grandson's question.However he didn't blame him.It was expected as only the Morgan heir knows how much of wealth is in his control.
His grandfather just went to his desk where he has documents on.He picked one of the documents and handed the documents to Richard before speaking.
“The companies listed there are under the Morgan Empire.I have all these companies under my control and management.”
Richard looked at his grandfather before going through the documents in his hands.What Richard found out made his jaw drop.
He was overwhelmed by what he just found out.
He had thought that nothing would be able to shock him again,but what he saw had completely blown his mind away.
In the documents were not just top companies in Vatican town but top companies in the world with the least company having a yearly revenue of $10B.
There were several widely acclaimed businesses on the list.
The list also includes luxury stores,top rated hotels and several mineral and oil wells that were part of the Morgan Empire.
Richard felt his head spinning when he looked at the yearly revenue of each of the businesses listed in the documents.Some investments like the oil wells even made close to 100 billion dollars yearly.
Richard's grandfather noticed that Richard had finished going through the documents he handed over to him.He cleared his throat loudly,drawing the attention of Richard.When he saw that Richard's attention was focused on him,he spoke up.
“Richard all these companies are no longer on my name”
Richard's eyes widened.
“What do you mean by that Grandfather?”Richard asked curiously.
“Calm down Richard.The companies and businesses were under my name,because your father who was supposed to inherit them passed away too soon.Now I'm just an old man,who wants to relax and look after his health.
“But you are a healthy grandfather, what do you mean by looking after your health?"Richard asked surprisingly.
“ I'm tired Richard.I have been the head of the Morgan Empire for 35 years and it's time for you to take your rightful position.There is no reason to try and change my mind.I have already transferred and registered all these companies under your name.”
“I know it's sudden for you to take up this great responsibility but you have to accept your new role now.Don't worry I've notified every manager of those businesses that you are the new head of the Morgan Empire.Once you tell them who you are then you will be treated with utmost respect.
Richard's grandfather insisted that he had to take up his responsibility as the new heir of the Morgan Empire.

As soon as Richard stepped out of the private dining room, Charles, Oliver, and Christabel exchanged glances before hurrying after him. The restaurant’s dim, luxurious lighting cast soft shadows on their faces as they weaved through the tables, determined to catch up.“Hey, Richard! Wait up!” Charles called, quickening his pace. His voice carried through the upscale restaurant, causing a few patrons to glance their way.Richard slowed down but didn’t stop entirely. When he finally turned around, there was a faint, almost unreadable smile on his face. “What’s going on?” he asked casually.Charles, slightly out of breath from the short jog, didn’t waste any time. “Where did you get that kind of money?” His voice was laced with both curiosity and concern. “Is this because Jane dumped you?

Earlier, Christabel had casually suggested that Richard use his newfound wealth to take better care of himself. Her words stuck with him. It wasn’t just about spending money—it was about transformation. For the longest time, Richard had worn the same worn-out clothes, not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. His old outfits had become a reflection of his financial struggles, a constant reminder of the life he had endured before everything changed. Now, with money no longer being an issue, there was no reason to continue looking like the same struggling man. The first step had been upgrading his phone. He had just walked out of the Apple Store, holding a brand-new iPhone 14 Pro Max—a purchase that once would have been nothing more than a distant dream. But as he glanced down at himself, he realized that a high-end phone alone wasn’t enough to redefine him. He needed a wardrobe that matched his new reality. As he continued walking, his eyes landed on a towering b

The next day, Rose returned to the restaurant. It felt surreal, as if she was stepping back into a life she had tried so hard to leave behind.

But the moment her foot crossed the threshold, everything changed.Her colleagues greeted her with surprised smiles, open arms, and enthusiastic chatter. The warmth they offered was genuine, even though there was an undertone of curiosity about her sudden return. The news had spread quickly through the kitchen, and they had all wondered how she could come back after the way she had left.The first person to approach her was Maya, her old friend, now looking more confident behind the pass.“Rose! You’re back!” Maya said, her voice bubbling with excitement. “I didn’t think we’d see you again. You really came back.”Rose smiled faintly, a soft, nervous laugh escaping her lips. “I didn’t thin

“There is still hope—but only if we act fast,” Richard said, his voice steady yet urgent. His eyes locked onto Rose’s, a flicker of determination in his gaze. “Get me a quarter pound of caterpillar, a quarter pound of cockroach, and a quarter pound of spider. Fry them, then place them in an airtight container.”Rose stood frozen, her mind reeling. She stared at Richard, her expression a mixture of disbelief and confusion. She had no idea what to make of his words. The thought of such bizarre ingredients was both unsettling and baffling. Was this really the way to save her mother?“Is that all you need?” she asked, her voice trembling slightly. She wanted to believe him—desperately—but everything felt too strange, too foreign.Richard met her gaze without hesitation. “Yes, this is just the first treatment,” he said calmly. “Once you have those, I’ll also need the back of a mango, the seed of a watermelon, cashew nuts, and water from a watermelon. Those will be used to prepare a concocti

“You don’t have to worry about Mary. She’s always like that,” Linda said, her voice light but with a hint of resignation. “Soon, you’ll get used to her way of treating people.”Linda was one of the waitresses at the restaurant, and unlike Mary, who radiated an icy distance, Linda had a warmth to her presence that made her stand out. She always wore a smile, as though she was trying to make up for the coldness that lingered in the air.Richard glanced at her, curiosity flickering in his eyes. “Is she always like that, even with customers?” he asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. He couldn’t fathom how someone in customer service could be so indifferent.Linda sighed, her gaze briefly flickering toward the door as though she were weighing how much she should reveal. “Yeah, she’s pretty rude to customers too. It’s honestly cost us a few regulars.” She lowered her voice, leaning in slightly. “But don’t tell anyone I said that. It could get me into serious trouble.”Richard frowned, his

Richard had not planned to stay long at the restaurant. He only wanted to check on things before heading back to his dorm, but now he could tell that the restaurant needed him. He was ready to help out.“I think something’s off here, and I need to find out for myself,” Richard stated.“How do you plan on doing that?” Trevor Spanner asked.“Do you have room to hire an additional staff member?” Richard asked.“An extra staff member isn’t what we need right now, especially with the decrease in revenue. But if the staff is resourceful, then I suppose it could be a good idea,” Trevor replied.“Then consider me joining the team,” Richard said.Trevor Spanner was taken aback. He thought Richard was asking for someone else to join, but instead, he was the one offering to work at the restaurant.“Are you sure about this?” Trevor asked.“Yes, just for the time being. I want to find out what’s really going on with the restaurant, whether it’s an external issue or something we can solve internally

Trevor Spanner was a name known across the industry.“Mr. Richard Morgan, it's truly an honor to meet you,” Trevor Spanner said, bowing slightly in a gesture of respect.The group around them froze in disbelief. The powerful Trevor Spanner, someone who was usually seen at high-profile meetings, was bowing to Richard?“I’m terribly sorry for the delay,” Trevor continued, still bowing. “Please, feel free to punish me as you see fit. I truly regret the inconvenience caused.”Richard replied calmly, “You’ve arrived just in time. I thought you might not make it.”Trevor smiled, “I was held up, but as soon as I received your call, I rushed here. I never want to be the reason for delaying anything important related to the restaurant.”The onlookers

Richard stood outside the gates of the Quantum Restaurant, his eyes scanning the sleek, polished exterior. Though he had frequented many high-end eateries before, there was something undeniably alluring about this place. The gleaming glass windows and the sophisticated architecture were like a beacon, promising luxury and exclusivity. The kind of place where the wealthiest of the wealthy dined. He felt a sense of anticipation and curiosity welling up inside him. This restaurant was one of the few he hadn't yet stepped foot in, and he was determined to make it today.However, his appearance was less than fitting for such a prestigious venue. He wore casual clothes, the stark contrast to the polished corporate suits worn by the others entering. Richard wasn't concerned about his appearance, though. He had a meeting to attend, and that's what mattered.As he approached the entrance, two security guards stepped forward, blocking his way with stern expressions.“Hey, you, stop there. Where

Richard didn’t quite understand Laura’s insistence, but there was a glimmer of hesitation in his heart. She had given him the black card, something valuable, and yet she was not satisfied. She felt she owed him more, and as she spoke, her voice carried an intense sincerity that seemed to both pull him in and push him away at the same time."Richard," she said, her voice soft yet determined, "I’ve told you many times that it's not about the black card. What you did for my father was beyond what anyone could have expected. You gave him back his life, and for that, I can't just thank you with a card. You're special, Richard, and I want to treat you like someone who deserves that kind of appreciation."Richard felt the weight of her words. There was genuine gratitude in her tone, but beneath it, there was something more—a pull he couldn't quite place. Before he could respond, Laura stood up and walked towards him, her steps slow and deliberate, a seductive sway in her walk that caught Rich

Richard walked into his grandfather’s study, the familiar scent of mahogany filling the air as he approached the man sitting comfortably in his chair, looking as composed as ever. His grandfather, George, looked up with a warm smile, clearly pleased to see his grandson."Hello, grandfather, it's been a while. I decided to check up on you," Richard said, his voice calm, though there was an underlying curiosity that had been building inside him since his last encounter."Ah, my grandson," Mr. George said with genuine affection, his eyes lighting up. "You did well by making time to see me. I truly enjoy moments like these, where we can sit and talk, just like a grandfather and grandson should. I wish these visits would come more often."Richard smiled faintly, but there was something else that weighed on his mind. He sat down and began recounting the strange experiences he'd encountered over the past few days. The healing power he had discovered, his ability to assist his colleagues, and

Richard stood over Andrew's frail body, the room thick with anticipation. His fingers wrapped around the silver acupuncture needles as he took a deep, steadying breath. The weight of the moment settled in, but his focus was unwavering. With a slight flick of his wrist, the first needle slid into Andrew's lower abdomen. His hands were steady, his movements precise, as a pulse of energy seemed to flow through the needle into the old man’s body. Richard’s mind was fully absorbed in the task at hand.His second needle followed, just above the first. Without hesitation, he continued, positioning the next few in a straight line from the first two. But Richard didn’t simply insert the needles. Instead, he delicately and deliberately pushed them upward from Andrew's abdomen, forcing them slowly and gently. Each insertion seemed to stir something deep within the old man’s body—like something was awakening, shifting beneath his skin. For a moment, Richard could almost feel it, the tension, the r
