At first, Adolphus was reluctant but his mother nodded at him, signaling him to go ahead.
Because of his mother, Adolphus took the phone and placed it on his right ear.
“Who wants to speak with me.” He said in a low and cold and listened carefully to hear the voice of an elderly woman.
“Adolphus, my dear. My name is Sandra McAllen and you can call me your Nana.”
“And about your silly Dad, I beg you to forgive and listen to him. But it's fine if you're not ready to forgive him. However, you must know that I'm just finding out about you so I hope you don't hold any grudges against me.”
“I look forward to seeing you soon. Just take your time but you're not allowed to reject my gift. Take it and do whatever you wish with it. Bye for now.”
Without waiting for Adolphus to give a response, Sandra ended the call.
More than anything she really wanted to meet with her grandson but had to give it time. He'll surely run to her after receiving the gift she gave him.
After the call, he handed the phone to Nicolas. However, he was no longer frowning.
The voice of his grandmother had warmed up his heart. She sounded chatty and nice and he also could not wait to see her.
“Please, have a seat, Sir.” Adolphus suddenly warmed up to Nicolas and offered him a seat.
The trio sat down on the sofas at the place and for a moment, everywhere was silent.
The next minute, Nicolas handed a card to Adolphus. “The money in the account belongs to you. The account was opened in your name so you don't have to worry about any embarrassment from the bank.”
“Inside the account is all her life's savings of ten billion dollars. She wants you to have it all.” Nicolas told him and a loud gasp escaped his mouth as well as his mother's.
“It's… It’s too much, Sir. I don't think I can take it?” Adolphus retorted, returning the card but Nicolas refused to take it back.
“It's for you and remember what she told you. You're not allowed to refuse the gifts.”
Nicolas pushed the card back and also handed him some keys. “These are the keys to your new villa and all the cars you can ride. My assistant will reach out to you and take you guys there when you're ready. Everything you'll be needing is already waiting for you at the place.”
“And as for what you'll do after your graduation, you'll be in charge of McAllen corporation because you're my heir and I trust that you will do a great job.”
“I can already see the fire of greatness in you and I believe it won't be extinguished.” Nicolas added, smiling at him.
Adolphus returned the smile before they bade each other goodnight.
Doris quickly saw Nicolas off and went back to Adolphus who was obviously not in the mood to talk.
He left the things Nicolas gave to him on the table and went to his room, completely lost in his thoughts.
Just in one day, a lot of things have happened to him.
His father was so rich that they could easily give him a mighty sum of ten billion dollars to do whatever he wanted with the money. Unfortunately, he grew up in penury and was the errand boy of Boston University.
Why did Nicolas not show up all these years?
The next morning, Adolphus left their home without even informing his mother.
With the new address in his hand, he boarded a cab and was on his way to the place.
When they got there, he briefly admired the villa from a distance before they drove off to school.
Just at the school gate, Adolphus was greeted by Richmond and his clique. His BMW almost ran into Adolphus who had just alighted from the cab.
Out of impulse, Adolphus quickly stepped aside and yelled at the occupant of the car.
“Hey, watch where you're driving. Or are you so blind that you can't see your way?” Adolphus barked angrily while glaring at the car with his cold blue eyes.
He knew the owner and as expected, Richmond and Svetlana alighted from it while his friends, Vincent and Gabriel followed behind.
They walked up to him and as usual, Svetlana clung onto Richmond while he held her by the waist.
“Do you have a death wish, Adolphus? I can see that you've not learned your lessons from what happened last night.”
“Wait, why are you already free? You should still be in jail.” Richmond blurted out while glaring at Adolphus who didn't give him a response.
His gaze was on Svetlana and he could feel his heart still breaking from her betrayal.
Svetlana was now hanging out with the big boys in school but she was going to regret leaving him especially in the manner that she did.
“Are you happy with him or is it just about the money?” Adolphus could not help but mutter the question to her and saw the smirk on her face.
“Both, Adolphus. I'm happy because Richmond is spending on me and giving me what you would never be able to give me in your lifetime.”
“I'm sure that you're just jealous of me and that your rival and very rich.” Svetlana mocked him and turned to Richmond. She reached for his lips and gave him an intense kiss that lasted for over a minute to make Adolphus more jealous.
He never got the chance to kiss Svetlana when they were together. In fact, it never looked like they even dated.
Svetlana just used him for school work.
After pulling out from the kiss, Richmond stepped forward and stood before Adolphus, grinning mischievously.
He lifted his hand and reached for Adolphus's shoulder but he caught Richmond's hand mid-air and shoved it aside before giving him a punch on the face.
“This will be the last time you'll ever lay those dirty hands on me. I'll not let you bully me again.” Adolphus snorted, his cold blue eyes burning with rage.

Chapter 101
Adolphus stood still, gaping at Abigail with a confused look on his face. He wanted her to continue walking, but she stopped when the phone rang. “Aren't you going to answer the call?” She called out, but Adolphus didn't budge. He let the phone continue ringing, and it eventually stopped. Adolphus had this strange feeling about the caller's identity. He felt that it was his father on the line, and there was no way he'd answer the call before Abigail. The phone began to ring again, and he gradually brought it out, making sure that Abigail didn't see the screen. “Excuse me, I need to take this.” He muttered, scurrying away and finally standing out of earshot.He'd seen that it was his father on the line, and he wouldn't want to decline the call. Nicolas McAllen was a very busy person, so taking some time out of his busy schedule to call Adolphus means that he truly cared about his son.He even had to hurry to the hospital late at night when he heard the unfortunate news of Adolphu

“Don't worry about your family. They'll eventually come around.” Adolphus dismissed her fears like they were nothing. They meant nothing to him because he was now beyond their reach. The Grahams could only get him when he acted carelessly like the previous night a truck almost ran him over.Adolphus was still convinced that it was not an accident. Abigail gave him that ‘are you being serious’ kind of look. She knew her parents more than him, and there's no way they'll accept Adolphus unless he was from a rich family. And from what she had learned about Adolphus, he didn't have any other family except his mother. Abigail has not seen any man in their lives, and in the little time she interacted with Doris Stephenson, she never said anything about Adolphus's father. She always avoided answering any question that related to the topic about Adolphus's father.Doris was an orphan, but Adolphus wasn't, and his father was still alive. With those thoughts in her mind, Abigail decided to

“It's just a matter of time before the person shows himself, so being anonymous doesn't make someone a ghost.” The students went on and on in disagreement with Richmond that he had to furiously leave the place.It was all Adolphus's fault who brought the matter up. He had intentionally done that to make Richmond feel embarrassed, and he succeeded. After Richmond and his friends left the place, everyone dispersed. However, Adolphus went to get his injury treated before going back to class. Abigail was yet to find out what transpired in the accounting department because of her.She didn't know that Pius and Adolphus fought because of her.After classes, Adolphus went to wait for Abigail while his friends and their girlfriends went to have lunch together. Everyone wouldn't stop talking about the earlier incident. He waited for her by the lobby, and when she finally showed up before him, he handed the box to her, smiling. “You forgot this last time.”Before Abigail's eyes met his hand

“Now, you're bleeding.” Glover added, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket and pressing it onto Adolphus's forehead where the blood was coming out from. They stood meters away from the other students who were gossiping about the earlier incident. Some were in support of Pius and were throwing abuses at Adolphus. Only a few people didn't take sides. “Do you want to kill him? He was only looking out for his sister and did what every brother would do?” One person called out, pointing at Adolphus, who ignored them.“I would have done the same thing if my sister was in a relationship with someone like him. I'm quite sure he'd also want his own sister to end up with someone better than him.” Another person added. While they blamed and cursed at Adolphus, Pius charged at him, but surprisingly, Drake held onto him. Drake stopped his friend from fighting Adolphus, whispering to him.“You shouldn't bring yourself so low as to fight with someone like him. There are better ways to do tha

Stunned to hear what his friends have just spoken, Adolphus gave them a very serious look and stated as a matter of fact. “I don't think I can stay away from her any longer, no matter the opposition we face. In fact, Abigail is the one I want to build my life with, and I'm sure her family would have no choice but to deal with that.”Being a different person, Adolphus was sure that nothing would be able to stop his relationship with Abigail. Her family was just ranting. It's only a matter of time before they succumb and give in.In fact, they'd do everything possible to be on his good side.“Wow! That was really fast. You guys just started dating, and you're already sure about her.” Donald commented, sharing a glance with Glover. It was Adolphus's confidence for them. The naive Adolphus they knew was changing every day. The friends believed it was good to have confidence, but too much of it was bad.At that moment, Adolphus was displaying over confidence. “You said it yourself, Abi

Bradley swallowed hard, his eyes fixed on Adolphus's serious face, and with furrowed brows, he inquired. “Do you suspect anyone?”Adolphus thought about it for a moment before shaking his head. “No, I don't have anyone in mind that'd want me dead. However, I have this feeling that someone planned it to look like an accident.”Adolphus has the feeling that Ursula McAllen was the suspect. Or was it Richmond?Since Richmond had the mind to send people to beat him up to coma, it was also possible that he could pull off such a stunt.There's also his newly found household foe. His father's wife could be the one behind it.Well, he wasn't so sure because he knew nothing about her.He was yet to find out if she was capable of pulling that off.Adolphus knew nothing about Ursula McAllen and if she was just angry that her husband had another child. He wasn't sure if she'd go as far as trying to eliminate him.But what if she was the one behind the planned accident?Bradley was quiet for a mome
