The Return of the Trillionaire Heir

Chapter 10: Never Ends!

You see, my child. Your father handled the business operations of the family and controlled the empire, he was the sole heir to the Williams Empire and when he died, the family lost its heir. But thank God that you're found, I'm getting old and I need to retire which is why you'll have to take over the operations and control of the empire as the new heir.”

Robert listened attentively but was overwhelmed by the part of him taking over as the new heir, what does he know, he has no experience and no degrees to qualify him for such a task. This triggered fear in him as he wondered the magnitude of the task.

“Grandfather, I am not in any way or form qualified for any of these. I am a mere hotel attendant.” He cried out immediately to his grandfather, fearing his incompetence for the job.

His grandfather looked at him and smiled,

“Of course, I know that, my child. You'll undergo a three-month training program which will be designed to bring you up to speed with the best professionals in the world in every field the training covers. Also, you have me and you have Raymond here to guide you through.”

Hearing this, Robert took a deep sigh of relief. He could really do with a training program to prepare him for the position.

“That would be perfect, sir.” He answered his grandfather with much relief and excitement.

His grandfather went on to the next thing.

“Now, we must get you settled in,” he signaled to Raymond who brought him a briefcase and he opened it to deliver the items on it to Robert, “Take this card, I'd kept it in the hopes that someday we would find you.”

Robert received the card, a golden debit card, and stared at it in amazement. He had never seen anything like it before.

“What's this for?” He asked.

“That's the family's exclusive debit card for your discretionary spending, it holds the sum of $20 billion. Just spend it wisely.” His grandfather explained to him.

Robert couldn't believe his hearing, he thought it for a joke but his grandfather assured him it was real. All of a sudden, he is ten times richer than he was in his dream. He couldn't hold his excitement, he yelled,

“Yes!!!” He has become richer than Michael and the Richards combined.

His grandfather watched his excitement and smiled,

“That's not all, my child. I have also asked that they send the sum of $5 billion to your account just to have it there for anything you want.”

“In addition to the $20 billion or?” He asked, wondering where the new figure was from.

“Yes, in addition to that. Making it $25 billion for your spending.” His grandfather confirmed to him.

Robert's eyes opened wide, his smile glowing brighter than all the lights in the building.

His grandfather added,

“You are also now the legitimate heir to the Williams $5 trillion empire. As of this moment, everything has been willed to you. They'll provide you the documents to sign subsequently.”

“Five what?” Robert asked, confused about what he heard. Could his ears be playing with him or something? Probably his grandfather meant five billion, not the other sets of zeros that begin with a T.

“You heard right, Robert. The Williams Empire is worth five trillion dollars and it now falls to you to keep it up and going. We own majority stakes in most of the top companies in the world. The list will be presented to you later by Raymond.” His grandfather added.

Robert got tired of all the surprises he had been getting since the police precinct and just decided to chill out and watch everything play out. Maybe someone would soon wake him up or maybe he was never going to wake up from the dream, who knows. Maybe it's an impossible dream or maybe it's not, he couldn't tell the difference between his dream reality versus his actual reality. He wasn't even this rich in his dreams as he was now, he thought dreams had the biggest surprises and worlds but if this is not a dream, then no dream can beat this.

His grandfather snapped him back to the moment and said to him,

“We'll take a break on this for now, I see that you're overwhelmed already. I'll let you process everything and then we'll continue. There is more to reveal. Raymond will take you to see your new car collections.”

“Car collections? Does this ever end?” Robert asked.

His grandfather laughed and said to him,

“Don't worry, my child. These are nothing, soon you'll acclimatize into them,” as Robert went with Raymond, his grandfather added, “Also, your Homecoming Party is this weekend, we'll talk about it later.”

“Homecoming Party? Why?” Robert asked Raymond.

“Well, it's to announce you as the new heir of the Williams family. Everyone connected to the family, all the big names in the country and in the world will be in attendance. It's more like your unveiling or reveal party.” Raymond answered him.

“Wow. Can I invite anyone?” Robert asked.

“Of course, young master. It's your party and you decide how it should be.” Raymond clarified him, introducing him to his new status.

Robert nodded his head, ideas already flowing in it.

“I want you to send an invite to my ex-family and Michael Noel, telling them they are invited to the Unveiling Party of the Williams Heir as a show of goodwill for helping return the stolen family heirloom.”
