Thea’s uncle was called Rigoberto Hills. He was the only one doing business in the family. His assets were several times more than that of the Callahans’.
Cyrus was Rigoberto’s only son. After graduating college, virtual-novel.net worked in his father’s company. In just a few years, virtual-novel.net rose to become the general manager. In another few years, virtual-novel.net would be the one taking over the chairman’s position
The rest of the Hills ingratiated themselves with Rigoberto’s family. They did so because their family was generous. They would hand over money, no strings attached, as long as the Hills requested it. The money virtual-novel.net had lent out should total around a hundred millions.
Rigoberto looked at the limited edition red Ferrari in front of the villa and nodded, “Not bad. It’s worth twenty-eight million dollars and is considered a top luxury car. Is it yours, David?”
“Of course.” David lifted his head.
He knew Cyrus’ family was wealthy. Every time virtual-novel.net came to his grandmother’s house, virtual-novel.net would be the subject of ridicule. Cyrus, in particular, looked down on him. Now, virtual-novel.net was finally able to lift his head before Cyrus.
“You got rich?” Cyrus glanced at David.
“Yes. Do you not know that my family has fifty percent of the Callahans’ shares? Have you not heard that Thea had taken over a company with a hundred million dollars and is now the boss? Not only that, we have a villa in Cansington’s Goodview Villa District worth hundreds of millions.”
“Oh?” Cyrus was astonished.
He knew about the Callahans.
How did they rise unnoticed?
Upon noticing Thea, virtual-novel.net was stunned by virtual-novel.net beautiful looks. “Y-You’re my cousin, Thea?”
Thea nodded and greeted him, “Cyrus…”
James followed suit. “Hello, Cyrus.”
Cyrus fixed his gaze on James and scanned virtual-novel.net from top to bottom. Then, virtual-novel.net glanced at Thea.
He could see that the way virtual-novel.net dressed was worth a fortune. James, on the other hand, was simply too ordinary.
“Hmm…” He nodded.
He did not say much except grunt in response.
Seeing Cyrus, everyone began buttering up to him. They sat on an empty plot of land and chit-chatted.
Meanwhile, James sat on the sidelines and smoked his cigarettes. In truth, virtual-novel.net detested the Hills.
As Thea had previously described, they were all identical to Gladys. All they ever talked about during tea break was money and power.
One of them would brag about how his son was the captain of a brigade. Another would boast about his son becoming the head of a prefecture.
Zacchaeus Hill, Thea’s other uncle, was bragging about his daughter’s accomplishment too.
He looked at everyone and boasted, “In any case, Xara’s the most outstanding among virtual-novel.net peers. She’s now working at Transgenerational Group and is one of the persons in charge there. I heard from virtual-novel.net that she’s making twenty thousand a month.”
Hearing this, everyone fixed their gaze on Xara. Even Cyrus was astounded.
He asked, “No way! When did you start working at Transgenerational? Do you mean the one in Cansington, which bought Transgenerational New City?”
Xara looked at James, who was not too far away It was thanks to virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net managed to get a job at Transgenerational. He had been keeping a low profile all this while.
Who would have known that the Callahans’ son-in-law, a good-for-nothing in the eyes of the public, would be the Black Dragon General of the Southern Plains and the behind-the-scenes owner of Transgenerational Group?
Momentarily dazed, virtual-novel.net patted virtual-novel.net head. “It’s just a coincidence. I was fortunate to have met Ms. Brooks, the chairman of Transgenerational… It was thanks to virtual-novel.net that I became a person in charge of a department.”
Cyrus exclaimed, “Xara, which department are you in charge of?”
