Robert McAfee; The New Student Trillionaire

CHAPTER 3

The phone buzzed again in Robert's hand with the screen visibly showing an unknown caller ID but Robert still picked it, he treated another emergency concerning his mother's illness had occurred. 

With fear and an aching heart preparing to hear of his mother's demise, he answered the call.

“Hi Robert, I am Mr. Edward Jones, your grandfather's attorney, your grandfather left a will for you and this will just become accessible to you because today is your twenty- second birthday, also Happy Birthday.” Mr. Edward's words were like a joke to Robert who knew that he had no family except his mother.

Puzzled at what he was hearing,Robert kept quiet 

Robert had also forgotten that this day was also his birthday because of how chaotic the day had been.

“ Hello Robert, can you still hear me?” Mr Edward asked when he couldn't bear the long silence from Robert.

“ Yes I Can” Robert responded 

“ I have made a transfer of $5,000,000 to your bank account as your birthday gift from me.” Mr Edward said

“$5,000,000 just like that?” Robert asked 

“Yes” Mr Edward answered with certainty 

Robert laughed very hard and it puzzled Mr Edward 

“ Next time, try this prank on someone else.” Robert said 

And ended the call 

“ I know you don't believe but you will” Mr Edward said firmly as the money was transferred to his account 

Robert laughed again at himself and wished that the night would just take him away instead of cruelly mocking him again.

But, he heard a notification sound and checked it 

“ $5,000,050, this must be a joke” Robert yelled 

“ No I must be drunk or I am possibly dead” Robert pinched himself and realised that he could feel the pain 

He couldn't believe that he was seeing that amount in his account so he placed a call to his account officer to confirm what he was seeing from his end.

While the phone rang awaiting the response from the other end, a message notification popped up on his phone and it was from Dr. Randy and the message said “ Her condition is now critical and we need you at the hospital urgently”

Robert immediately ended the call and ran straight to the hospital because he still didn't have enough cash with him to take a cab.

Robert ran so many blocks through the busy roads and tight corners of the street to make it to the hospital on time and he did 

Arriving at the hospital, he saw hospital beds being wheeled from corner to corner and nurses with trays all over the place, he sieved through the commotion and found Dr. Randy close to the emergency unit.

“ Thank God you are here now, I have stabilized her for now but I need you to make the deposit of $3,000,000 now so that we can take proper care of her.“ Dr.Randy said

“Thank God! She's out of danger” Robert out a sign of relief

He was pleased to know that his mother was a bit stable.

“ Thank you very much doctor, can I get the account details?” Robert asked .

Dr. Randy called a nurse to help him out with the details and immediately it was called out, the notification of the alert shocked the Doctor.

“ What's going on? Where did you see this amount of money “ the doctor inquired 

“ The deposit is $3,000,000 and you paid $5,000,000. Why?” 

Dr. Randy was so amazed and also curious to know how Robert got the money.

“ Don't worry about that, the most important thing is that my mother is alive and she will be taken extra care of now “ Robert stated calmly 

Dr. Randy nodded in agreement then swung into action 

“ Get the helipad ready, we are taking his mother to Pinehills Specialist Hospital now “ Dr. Randy alerted everyone and they immediately started making plans to transport Robert's mother.

 Robert turned around to leave the hospital but just as he approached the pavement at the entrance of the hospital, a fleet of SUVs pulled over right in front of him. 

For a brief moment, he was shocked, but before he could take another step, a guard from the lead car blocked him. The middle car door opened, and an elderly man in his early seventies stepped out looking very classy in an old money outfit that screamed luxury.

As soon as Robert locked eyes with him, the man gave a 90° bow. The street was unusually quiet; it was as if nobody else existed. 

“ Hi Robert, I am Mr. Edward Jones, your grandfather’s attorney, I am here to clear up the doubts that I am a con man trying to deceive you.” Mr Edward said 

Robert looked very shocked at the whole scenery and wondered if they knew that he was a very poor person that they were speaking to.

“ I need you to come with me” Mr Edward asked 

“ No ,I can't “ Robert refused as he wondered why he would follow them but Mr Edward assured him of his safety and gave him permission to call 911 if he found anything fishy.

That gave Robert a little bit of assurance and Robert entered the car and they zoomed off 

Within a short time, the convoy pulled over one of the most expensive streets in Pinehills, so expensive that only a few members of society could access it. The convoy had brought them to Mr. Edward’s office. 

“Welcome to my office.“ Mr Edward said as he ushered Robert into his top floor office where he hosted only A-Class families.

“ Thank you for having me.” Robert respectfully responded 

“Please have a seat, would you like scotch, whiskey, soda , name it and it will get here “ Mr Edward offered 

“ No thanks” Robert politely declined 

“Let's get straight to business, I guess!, so I want you to know that you are not just a nobody but you are actually the son of the late Billionaire Trump McAfee.” 

“Late? Billionaire? My mom never mentioned anything like that to me ” Robert was shocked to be tied to a prestigious identity.

“Yes he's late , may his soul rest in peace, few years back he gave me some specific instructions for his will before he passed, he asked us to find you and only reveal the inheritance to you on your twenty- second birthday” Mr Edward said 

“ What inheritance?” Robert asked

“ Your grandfather made you the ultimate head of the family and sole heir to all his companies, the name of your family is the McAfee family and you are just like the Pugh Family who are the richest members of the A-Class families of Pinehills” Mr Edward explained to Robert who still looked shocked with the new information.

“Here are the papers that need your signature, the company your grandfather left is worth five trillion dollars but you can only access 5% of it now, that is twenty-five billion dollars out of the total inheritance” Mr Edward explained further to Robert as he handed him the papers to sign.

He told Robert that he would get the rest once he had successfully passed all ten tests outlined by his grandfather. His grandfather made many mistakes in his lifetime, which he would not want his heir to repeat, and the only way to do this is through the ten critical tests. 

Mr. Edward told him that if he failed any test at any point in time, then he would lose everything, and without any hesitation, Robert signed the documents.

Just as Robert stood up to leave, Mr. Edward informed him of an upcoming fundraiser event to support one of the candidates of the upcoming election. He informed Robert that the party would be an important party, and he would like him to attend it. He told Robert that the invitation would be sent to him the next day. 

Mr. Edward also reminded Robert to get a new suit for the event. He initially wanted to order a new suit, but Robert decided that he wanted him to do the shopping himself. Mr. Edward suggested that Robert should visit Mavis Mall.

Mavis Mall was one of the biggest malls in Pinehills, only those who are of A-Class, B-Class, or C-Class family could shop there.

 Mr. Edward offered to drop Robert off, but he refused. Robert insisted that he would walk home, and by the way, he wanted to be alone to process everything.

The next morning, Robert went straight to Mavis Mall; he walked in like he owned the place. One of the shop attendants, Clara, took a close and nasty look at him as she noticed his worn-out shoes and dirty clothes. 

“ What is this pauper looking for here?” Clara muttered.

“ Where is the dressing room? “ Robert asked Clara while holding the suit he chose to try on.

“There sir” Clara pointed with an irritated countenance 

Immediately, he started to try out some of the suits. Then he noticed a Rolex watch valued at about 30 million dollars, it was a limited edition watch, only a total number of two thousand were created. He quickly picked up the watch to admire.

“Wow, this is so well made, the design is out of this world” Robert admired.

A loud voice startled Robert and it belonged to one of the Orlando twins. 

“What is this wretched boy doing here?” David, one of the Orlando twins said as he sighted Robert.

Both of the Orlando twins walked in and immediately drew all the attention to themselves, their plan was to get the attention of the Twine group by humiliating Robert.

It was a common ritual among aspiring members of the Twine group.

 The Murphy twins had humiliated him in the bar, and now if they could just do much better in front of the crowd at the mall, then they might just get the Twine group’s attention.

Although the Orlandos were new transfer intakes of P.U., they were also part of the C-Class family, as their family’s net worth was about five billion dollars. David and Bucky walked up

to Robert, who was still admiring the Rolex. 

David laughed loud again.

This time his plan was to draw the hall’s attention to them.
