The Penniless Son-In-Law Is A Trillionaire

Still penniless

Madame Aurora summoned a second meeting by 10pm.

Two meetings in one day were uncommon in the MOMO family, but Madame Aurora was in a mad frenzy.

She had just watched the news and her bank manager was blowing up her phone lines.

He was asking one question:

"Why didn't you invest in Rockechilds Empire?"

If she had purchased some excellent stocks, she would've been worth at least $500 million.

Madame Aurora could feel her blood pressure rising.

Only fifteen people in the world bought Rockechilds Empire stocks when the stocks were low.

Everyone called them a bunch of mad men, but those guys were now worth billions of dollars.

Madame Aurora needed to see her family or else she might lose her mind.

She, in particular, wanted to see Moses.

The MOMO family were once again gathered at the Imperial hotel in the conference room.

Madame Aurora was pacing around, her face knotted in an impatient frown. "I was sure I summoned everyone. Where are Valeria and Moses?"

"What's this about them?" Dave asked. "Did they do something wrong, grandmother?"

"Shut up," Madame Aurora barked at him. "One more word from you and I'll seize your new super car."

Dave sealed his lips.

Just then, Valeria hurried in. She looked exhausted. "Sorry I arrived late, grandmother. I drove as fast as I can. The storm outside is terrible."

"Never mind that," Madame Aurora said sharply. "Where is your husband?"

Everyone was stunned to hear Madame Aurora address Moses as Valeria's husband.

Usually, Madame Aurora doesn't even acknowledge his presence. It was as if he had never existed.

This was the first time she ever asked about him in years.

Hearing her grandmother's words, Valeria felt a bit guilty.

"He... I told him to come by bicycle through the rain, he... doesn't deserve to ride in the Momo family's car..." Valeria stammered.

Madame Aurora's large eyes widened a trifle. "You're telling me you abandoned your husband in this heavy downpour? Are you mad? Why couldn't you give him a ride, huh?"

Everyone's jaws dropped. Since when did Madame Aurora ever care about anyone?

Forget that, since when did she ever care about Moses?

This startled Valeria. "Grandmother, did Moses do anything to upset you? You're acting—"

"You bloody fool," Madame Aurora bawled. "I swear to God, if Moses dies of a cold, I'll bury each and every one of you. Dave, drive your new car and find Moses!"

"But Grandma, that's my new luxury car, I really don't want to..." Dave said anxiously.

"Then I'll have someone smash your junk car into a pile of garbage, and you'll have to ride a bicycle for transportation just like Moses!" Madame Aurora shouted angrily.

Dave was startled and quickly drove his luxury car out to look for Moses.

Valeria stood rooted at the spot, her head spinning with confusion.

She couldn't process what was happening.

"Mother, please at least seat down," one of her son said. "You're making us worried with the way you're pacing."

Madame Aurora pointed her finger at him. "You mind your own business!"

He sealed his mouth.

* * * *

Moses rode his bicycle on the road with an indifferent face.

He had already planned everything in his heart; he would not easily let the Momo family go, but he also would not allow them to be destroyed so easily.

He wanted to give them hope, and then destroy it with his own hands, so that they could experience a deeper pain!

"Moses, you trash, how could you keep grandma waiting for so long! Hurry up and get in the car!"

Dave drove up through the rain and saw Moses, extremely angry.

If it weren't for this trash, he wouldn't have to drive his favorite car in the pouring rain to pick him up.

He was all dirty and would get his own car dirty!

Moses let out a cold laugh; it seemed Madame Aurora also knew about the skyrocketing news of Rockechilds and wanted to curry favor with him.

But didn't she think it was all too late now?

Moses silently got into Dave's car, listening to his complaints, and they arrived at the meeting venue.

"Moses, my dear Moses," Madame Aurora said, spreading her arms as soon as Moses arrived.

All eyes bulged out as Madame Aurora embraced Moses.

"What the..." Dave exclaimed.

"Madame Aurora just embraced the penniless Son-in-law."

"What's going on? I'm confused."

Madame Aurora glanced up at Moses. "You must be cold. Let me arrange a change of clothes and towel to dry your hair."

"There's no need Madame Aurora," Moses said. He had never received this type of treatment since he knew her. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Madame Aurora asked, peering at him. When Moses nodded, she led him to the front seat. "In that case, have a seat, let us begin."

The MOMO family all gaped at Moses, their mouths hanging.

Valeria, who was seated next to Moses, nudged him by the side of his ribs. "What did you do, Moses?"

Moses shrugged. "No idea."

Madame Aurora finally returned to her chair, but not for once, did her big eyes leave Moses.

"How many of you watched the evening news?" Madame Aurora asked.

Everyone exchanged looks.

"Forgive us, Mother," Jordan answered. "I don't suppose any of us had the chance to turn on our television at home. We were all occupied with raising the capital. We wouldn't bother with the news."

"I see," Madame Aurora said. "That means each one of you is clueless about the rave going on in the stock market this evening."

Silence. No one answered her.

Madame Aurora controlled her anger with an effort. "Rockechilds Empire made a massive comeback today. Their stocks rose above the charts, breaking all limitations. They're currently worth $140 trillion."

The room erupted in gasps of shock.

"Impossible. Weren't they a sham?"

"Financial gurus warned us never to invest in them."

"How did it happen?"

"$140 trillion? That's a fortune."

"Be quiet," Madame Aurora shouted. "I was shocked when I heard it. I know someone who purchased Rockechilds stocks at $10,000. That was three years ago. He earned $20 million today."

"What?" Dave was shaking. "That's huge."

Madame Aurora continued. "I'll admit it. I regret not buying their stocks. If only I knew how promising this company would turn out to be, I would've invested heavily on them. By now, I'd have been a billionaire."

Madame Aurora clenched her teeth. She wished she could turn back the hands of time.

"Well, that doesn't matter," she said, turning to Moses with a soft smile on her face. "All hope is not lost. Isn't that right, Moses?"

All eyes settled on Moses.

That was when everybody remembered Moses invested $12 billion in Rockechilds Empire when it was just a start-up company years ago.

Everybody rushed to Moses, clamouring for his attention.

"Congratulations, Moses. You're now a wealthy man."

"I always knew you had it in you. Can I become your partner?"

"Moses, we're pals, remember? Don't forget me."

Valeria's expression was awkward; she regretted it so much! If she had been a little nicer to Moses, she could easily have become the heir of the Momo family by now.

No, who cares about the Momo family?

Moses is a trillionaire now! The assets of the Momo family are like pocket money to him!

Valeria was determined not to make Moses angry this time; she knew Moses had always loved her, and now he finally deserved her!

She stood up, gave Moses a sweet smile, and said, "Moses, I knew you would succeed! I have always trusted you, and I will always be your wife!"

Watching the clumsy performance of everyone from the Momo family, Moses felt it was so absurd.

He pretended to be surprised and looked at Valeria, saying, "Really, Valeria! You're not marrying Lucas?"

"Who is Lucas!" Madame Aurora asked angrily.

Valeria was frightened, tears filled her eyes, and she said aggrievedly, "Moses, this is all a misunderstanding; it's Lucas Gates, he forced me to marry him! My heart only belongs to you!"

Moses happily said, "Really! That's great, Valeria! But..."

"Sorry to disappoint all of you." Moses said. "But I sold all my shares three years ago."

Madame Aurora stiffened, her face growing pale. "Huh? What was that?"

Valeria also stopped her tears and looked at Moses in disbelief.

"Umm.. the thing is, I no longer have any shares or stock in Rockechilds Empire," Moses explained. "I'm still as broke as I've always been."
