The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire

Lucas Gates

Dave's face went pale.

"Y-You're kidding, right? $2 billion? That's a fortune. We don't have that kind of money."

"That is why I call you useless," Madame Aurora fired. "Each one of you can't even boast of $100 million."

Madame Aurora's insult hit them deep, but they kept their mouth shut.

It wasn't worth it to talk back to Madame Aurora. The MOMO family depended on her for survival.

All their financial holdings were penned under her name.

This was what made her the most important member of the MOMO family.

A maid brought in a tray of tea in beautiful china wares.

Madame Aurora took a cup, stir it and sipped a little.

"I'm going to give everyone a fair chance to take part in this project. I'm getting old and might not live to see another ten years. I need a successor."

This statement made the entire MOMO family prickle up with excitement.

A successor to the Imperial Hotel was the last thing on the mind of the MOMO family.

Madame Aurora turned to the rest of her family. "For years, I've taught each and every one of you how to manage my business. Some of you do a good job, but the others don't throw their weight around."

Madame Aurora sipped her tea again. "Well, that's about to change. This is an open challenge for everybody. Whoever raises the capital for our next hotel would become my successor. You have one month."

The MOMO family members' face fell.

They knew among themselves there was no way they would be capable of raising $2 billion in a month.

Madame Aurora watched the expression of dismay on the faces of her children and grandchildren.

She felt disappointed.

"That would be all," she said. "Now, get out of my sight."

The meeting was over, and Moses hurriedly escaped from beside the door, pretending to be hard at work.

Two billion dollars... he couldn't possibly take it out, especially since he was no longer the heir of the Doberman family.

Unfortunately, the failure of the investment in the Rockechilds Group had caused the family to suffer heavy losses, and he had also lost his status as an heir.

Members of the Momo family gradually came out, and Valeria and her parents also left the hotel to return home.

They didn't even ask Moses if he wanted to go with them.

Moses could only ride his bicycle home alone.

Moses dried the rainwater off his body and came to Valeria's bedroom, wanting to talk to her.

He knew that 2 billion dollars was an astronomical figure, but he still believed in his investment ability.

If Valeria was willing to lend him 10 million dollars, he believed he could earn enough in a month. However, just as he reached Valeria's door, the voice coming from inside left Moses frozen in place.

"Wait... wait a minute!"

A woman's shy voice came from the room. Moses's eyes seemed to be on fire; he recognized that voice—it was his wife Valeria!

"Lucas, if I divorce that trash and marry you, can you lend me 2 billion dollars to help me become the head of the family?"

Valeria said sweetly.

Lucas Gates! Moses immediately recognized the man's voice, the heir of the Gates family, a notorious scumbag!

Lucas's voice sounded very anxious, "Yes, but it's not a loan; it's a gift to you! By then, we will be a family, and my money will be your money!"

As he spoke, he anxiously began to take off Valeria's clothes.

Valeria blushed and, while cooperating with Lucas's actions, said, "You're so bad! What if my husband finds out?"

Lucas seemed to hear a funny joke, "That trash of a husband? He's already the biggest laughingstock in the city! The garbage group he invested in has caused your family to lose billions of dollars!"

"And I can give you both money and happiness!"

Lucas's laughter became increasingly vulgar.

Moses could no longer bear it; he angrily kicked open the bedroom door and shouted furiously, "You... how dare you do this!"

Valeria and Lucas were both startled, but when they saw it was Moses at the door, they both calmed down.

Valeria looked at Moses with a mocking smile, seemingly not wanting to explain at all.

Lucas stood up from Valeria, looking at Moses with a cold smile, "What? Do you have any objections?"

Moses was shocked by their shamelessness; he didn't even know what words to use to express his anger.

Valeria looked at him with a sneer and said, "Grandma asked us to come up with 2 billion dollars to help the family through this crisis; do you have any good ideas? If you weren't a waste, how could I have found Lucas? You should reflect on yourself!"

Lucas laughed heartily: "Yes, a beautiful woman like Valeria should be with someone as outstanding as me! You're not even in the same league as her, yet you occupy the position as her husband; what a waste!"

Angrily, Moses raised his fist and tried to punch Lucas's face.
