My Wife Let My Mother Die—Now I'm the Billionaire King

My Wife Let My Mother Die—Now I'm the Billionaire King

“My mother is dying! I'm begging you, please lend me the money for her emergency surgery. I'll sign any IOU, I’ll work twenty hours a day to pay you back!" Julia didn't spare a single glance at the man barking at her feet. “I've already covered more than enough of your mother's bills. Don't push your luck. I don't have a single moment to waste on these sob stories.” * He sacrificed everything for love, only to be trampled over… Humiliated by his wife, despised by his in-laws, and treated like a servant despite sacrificing everything for the woman he loved, Harry Kipling reached his breaking point when she refused to pay for his mother's surgery, while showering her new fiancé with company shares, gifts, and attention. When all hope seemed lost, destiny had one final surprise. The forgotten thousand-dollar investment he made years ago has made him the owner of Horizon Enterprises, the company hailed as the newest multi-billion-dollar miracle— making him one of the richest men in the country overnight. Now, the submissive husband is gone. As the city gathers to welcome the mysterious, legendary new tycoon, Julia and her family are about to realize that the man they kicked into the mud is the same God of Wealth they are begging to meet.

The head guard stepped forward, raising his gloved hand to address the eager crowd. "Attention everyone! General boarding will commence in exactly ten minutes according to the official seniority guest list!"​Thinking that she still had plenty of time before the boarding started, Julia turned right back toward Harry, desperate to drive him away and humiliate him off the dock once and for all.​"Did you hear that, Harry?!" Julia sneered loudly. "Only elite guests on the seniority list get to step foot on that luxury ship! Why don't you do everyone a huge favor and crawl back to your little village before the guards throw you into the dirty water?!"​Standing beside Priscilla, Violet burst into a loud, obnoxious laugh.​"Oh, dear Julia! Didn't you know?!" Violet chimed in, tossing her hair back with immense sarcasm. "The man you are insulting right now is supposedly a famous, supreme heir! Or at least... that's what my senile grandpa and my totally dumb cousin Priscilla blindly believe!

The massive cruise ship’s horn sounded again with a deafening, thunderous blast that echoed across the entire harbor, vibrating the stone pavement under everyone's feet.​Priscilla stepped out from the Levine family's sleek black limousine, holding an ornate wooden chest containing vintage reserve tea leaves with effortless grace. Beside her, Violet strutted forward carrying a lavish basket of rare imported fruits, her sharp eyes scanning the gathering crowd like a hungry hawk searching for trouble.​Within seconds, Violet nudged Priscilla sharply with her elbow, a malicious smirk spreading across her face.​"Well, well, look over there, dear cousin!" Violet whispered snidely. "Isn't that your former best friend Julia? And look who else showed up like a stubborn flea that won't go away!"​Priscilla followed her cousin's pointing finger, and her breath caught slightly in her throat. Standing tall and composed near the front of the executive cordon was Harry. He was dressed in a sharp,

"I don't know what happened to him all of a sudden, Harry," Noemie said, her sweet voice breaking slightly with genuine worry over the phone. "Out of nowhere, he developed a burning high fever and became extremely weak. Right now, he is struggling to even get up from the bed on his own! The family doctors are examining him, but I'm just so very worried about his condition."​Hearing the pure distress in her trembling voice, Harry felt a wave of sympathy for the anxious young woman.​"It's completely okay, Noemie," Harry reassured her softly, his deep voice carrying a steady, comforting warmth. "Don't stress about our business meeting at all right now. You focus entirely on being there for your grandfather and taking good care of him. As soon as I get free from my urgent commitments tomorrow, I promise I'll come over to personally visit your grandpa and check on his health, okay? So please, don't worry too much."​Noemie let out a long, tearful sigh of relief on the other end. "Oh, Har

Harry slowly lowered the phone from his ear and tapped the red button on the bright screen, ending the call with Nancy. The quiet hallway of the hospital wing was peacefully still, the sunlight streaming through the tall glass windows and casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. Harry leaned against the wall, crossing his arms over his chest as he took a long, slow breath and began sorting through his crowded thoughts. He knew very well that he originally had two important appointment lined up for the upcoming days. The first pending matter was with the powerful and mysterious Astor family, whom he had met as Clara's boyfriend. Harry tapped his chin thoughtfully, his sharp eyes narrowing as he weighed the situation in his mind. 'As long as Clara and her father didn't initiate contact with me first, it's completely fine with me,' Harry thought to himself with cool detachment. He didn't really have any burning desire or reason to reach out to them on my own, especially

Chapter: Chapter 122
Meanwhile, across town, news of Mr. Wes Humbright's grand arrival had already exploded across the highest tiers of high society! Since Mr. Humbright was undeniably the wealthiest and most influential man in the entire country, naturally every single prominent family, billionaire heir, and elite socialite in the metropolitan area was frantically scrambling to attend the grand harbor reception, hoping to catch even a brief glimpse of the legendary tycoon. Among those elite wannabes was Derek Jameson. For weeks, Derek had been loudly boasting to everyone in his social circle that he possessed an exclusive, personal high-society connection to Mr. Humbright himself.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, the quiet luxury of the VVIP suite was peaceful once again. Harry sat patiently beside his mother's bed, gently holding her warm, frail hand. The continuous, steady rhythm of the heart monitor filled the room with a soothing background hum. Eleanor was resting against the soft pillows, her pale face looking far less stressed than it had during the chaotic morning confrontation. "Mom, you don't have to worry about a single thing anymore," Harry assured her softly, his deep voice full of warmth and gentle care. "Everything is completely fine now. The doctors are taking exceptional care of you, the bad people have been permanently kicked out, and nothing like this will ever happen again under my watch. Just close your eyes and get some deep rest, okay?" Eleanor smiled weakly, her tired eyes softening as she squeezed his fingers. "As long as you are safe, Harry... that is all that matters to me." Within a few minutes, Eleanor's breathing grew deep and
