2024-04-18 01:19:24He thanked James for his help so far as they both went their separate ways.He checked his phone and he noticed he still had two hours left before the class got started.His hands got hold of something inside his pocket.He remembers it was the golden customized debit card he was given.He was eager to test it.
On his way,he noticed a nearby bank along the road.He entered the banking hall of the bank.He went straight to the teller counter.
The teller lady,a woman in heavy makeup and a professional suit,saw Richard come in and said lazily, “How can I help you?”
She sounded cold.From her look on Richard,she felt he was somebody that was not worth her attention.
Richard was wearing a faded shirt and a black rough trouser,looking like a pauper.The woman acted uninterested,thinking it was just an insignificant customer.
Nevertheless,Richard did not mind her bad service and attitude. “I would want to perform a withdrawal,” he said sternly.
“Withdrawal?Don't you see the ATM over there?” The teller lady sounded not too pleased.Just meet someone on the queue to assist you if you don't know how to use it.I'm busy.”
She was so free that she could take a nap there if she wanted.Her attitude pissed Richard off,so he called out, “I demand to see the manager.”
Richard raised his voice. “Is this how your bank does things?Don't you know that customer is always right?I can't believe it!”
Hearing the noise in the banking hall,the branch manager hurried out. “What's going on?”
Seeing the branch manager and thinking she had reinforcement,the teller lady pointed at Richard. “Mr Jones,this youngman is here to cause trouble”
Mr Jones was alarmed,looking at Richard disdainfully. “What are you doing here?”
Richard smiled. “I would like to perform a withdrawal.”
Mr Jones frowned. “There are ATMs for withdrawing cash.Why come to the counter?”The manager and the teller lady were just the same,they sounded unappeased.
He did not allow what the manager said to get to him. “What if I would like to withdraw four million dollars?”
Four million dollars? The teller lady stared at Richard and took a closer look at him. From his outfit one could see that he was poor and could not afford an amount. “A classless pauper like you wants to withdraw four million dollars?
“This must be a hilarious joke.Do you mean four hundred dollars?Four million dollars is way above you.”
Mr Jones also did not believe Richard could be able to withdraw $4 million because he looked like a loser.
However he didn't want to completely write him off.He cocked an eyebrow and asked, “Do you really want to withdraw four million dollars?”.The teenager might look like a loser but sometimes it's hard to understand the way the rich live.That was the reason why he asked again.
Richard sneered. “Why else will I be here If not for withdrawing money? Or,do you expect me to play games here?
“I will have to inform my superiors for such a large amount of money"Mr Jones said differently, “Why don't you stay in the lounge and wait for a while?”
Richard noded, “No problem”.
The teller lady sneered. “Mr Jones don't tell me that you really think he has $4 million to withdraw, do you?”
“Shut up and knock off” Mr Jones was not too happy with her.He could tell from his experience that Richard was not joking.Richard was really going to withdraw 4 million dollars.He wouldn't have come all the way here to asked to withdraw 4 million at one go if he doesn't want too.He was eager to get into the good book of a rich kid like Richard.
The teller lady shut up immediately when Mr Jones scolded her.But she still had a disdainful look on her face.She did not believe that Richard had so much money to withdraw.
But 30 minutes later,when she saw Richard carrying a sack of cash out of the VIP Lodge with Mr Jones following behind him respectfully, she was stunned her eyes were wide open.Did this loser really withdraw $4 million?
“Does he really have 4 million dollars,Mr Jones? The teller lady had not given up and asked the branch manager.
Do you want him to show it to you Mr Jones noted looking not too happy.Fortunately he was more observant and did not allow the way Richard looks to write him off.He could have lost such an important customer.
She knew the manager wouldn't be telling a lie so she stood surprised and opened her mouth.
“I apologize to you if my staff has said something that offends you Mr Richard” Mr Jones says it respectfully.
It will be clear to anyone that a person who could withdraw 4 million dollars in cash was a VIP customer.Mr Jones does not want to lose this VIP customer to other banks.
Richard tucked the sack of cash into the bag that Mr Jones had issued him and then left.

The room buzzed with energy as the discussions about the orphanage’s future unfolded, everyone contributing ideas, sharing experiences, and offering support. It had been a productive morning, filled with anticipation and a collective sense of purpose. For Richard, the experience had been grounding. It was the first time in a long while that he’d felt connected to something outside of his empire—something that truly mattered. The group of former residents, now successful in their own ways, seemed eager to work together to rebuild what had once been their home.The atmosphere was warm, cooperative, and filled with optimism. Richard had already made promises to use his resources to help raise funds, and others had offered their support in various forms. The enthusiasm in the room was contagious. As the meeting continued, it became clear that no one was willing to let the orphanage fall into ruin. Everyone here understood the importance of the place, not only because it had given them a c

“We can make this happen,” Richard continued, his voice steady but filled with conviction. “I’ll personally take charge of the fundraising efforts. I’ll reach out to my contacts and secure corporate sponsorships. And I’ll make sure we get the renovations we need.”The others nodded, some of them already looking at Richard with newfound hope. He had always been a leader, even as a child, and now, with the resources and influence at his disposal, he knew he could make a real difference.The energy in the room was high, filled with the collective determination of the former residents of the orphanage. Ideas flowed like a river, each person contributing something valuable to the effort of saving the place that had once been their home. The meeting had been productive, and there was a sense of camaraderie, as people from all walks of life came together with a singular goal: to restore the orphanage to its former glory.Richard sat quietly, taking in the discussions with a thoughtful expres
Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-Two
The large, polished windows of Richard's mansion offered a view of the city below. He had spent the better part of the past few weeks reclaiming what was rightfully his, maneuvering through legal battles and business challenges. The weight of those battles had been exhausting, but at least the storm seemed to be passing. His empire was starting to rebuild itself, piece by piece, but Richard knew that he couldn’t rest on his laurels. He had far more to give, far more to achieve.As he sat in the warmth of his home, sipping on a glass of water, his phone vibrated in his pocket. The familiar ping caught his attention, and Richard glanced down to see the notification. It was from an email address he hadn’t expected to hear from. An email from the orphanage—the very place that had shaped his childhood, the place where he had learned the true meaning of survival.His heart skipped a beat as he read the subject line: Urgent: Orphanage in Need of Help.Opening the email, Richard felt a pang o
Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-One
Richard stood in front of his mansion, the cold wind biting at his face as he stared up at the imposing gates. He had been here many times before, but this time, there was no sense of pride or ownership in his heart. Only anger. Anger at Linda for taking everything from him, and anger at himself for being manipulated. He could still hear the echo of her voice in his mind—the way she had treated him, the lies she had spun, and the way she had used his son, Jacob, as a pawn in her game.The gates, once a symbol of power and wealth, now felt like an impenetrable fortress. The guards at the entrance recognized Richard immediately but gave him no special treatment. Linda’s influence had extended far beyond the walls of the house, and the tight security measures she had put in place made it clear that she was prepared for any attempt to reclaim the empire she had stolen.But Richard wasn’t afraid. If anything, the weight of the truth he now held in his hands made him more determined than ev

Richard’s heart skipped a beat, his stomach twisting with dread. "What do you mean?"Dr. Matthews looked down at the floor for a moment, as if he were gathering his thoughts. “The results of the DNA test… they were fake.”Richard’s jaw dropped. “What?”The doctor wiped a tear from his cheek before looking Richard in the eye. “I never intended for you to find out like this. But it’s the truth. Linda… she approached me months ago. She offered me a hefty sum to manipulate the results. She promised me a generous reward when she gained control of the Morgan Empire—she said she’d make sure I was well taken care of if I helped her claim the empire as her own.”Richard’s chest tightened. He felt as though the air had been sucked from the room. “So you lied to me. You fabricated the results. That boy…” Richard trailed off, struggling to understand what he was hearing. “He’s not my son?”Dr. Matthews’ face twisted with regret. “No. I’m sorry, Richard. He’s not your son. Linda used him as a pawn
Chapter Four Hundred and Nineteen
The drive to Dr. Matthews’ home felt like an eternity. The weight of the vial in Richard’s pocket seemed to grow heavier with each passing minute. When they finally arrived at the doctor’s house, Richard followed him inside, where a soft light emanated from the living room. In the corner of the room lay a small, frail boy, barely older than six or seven. His skin was pale, his breath shallow.Dr. Matthews rushed to his son’s side, his face etched with worry. “Jacob,” he whispered, gently shaking the boy awake. “Jacob, I’ve got something for you.”Richard watched from the doorway as Dr. Matthews carefully opened the vial of Xan Ling. With shaking hands, he poured a single drop onto his son’s tongue. The boy stirred, his eyelids fluttering, but there was no immediate reaction. Richard could feel the tension mounting in the room.“Please,” Dr. Matthews whispered, almost pleading.For a moment, nothing happened. But then, slowly, Jacob’s breathing began to steady. His color seemed to retu
