The Heir to the Top Financial Empire

Chapter 3, You Were Fired

"It's just money, who said I couldn't borrow it?" Colton stared coldly at Andrew. Andrew froze for a moment, his expression frozen on his face.

Then, in his astonished gaze, Colton threw the plastic bag in his hand in front of him and Leyla.

Snap!

The plastic bag burst open, and a pile of money scattered, red banknotes falling before the two of them.

Andrew's eye twitched, his mouth trembling slightly, and his fist clenched unconsciously.

Leyla's expression became even more shocked, looking puzzledly at the money Colton had thrown over, and then quickly turned cold, with anger in her eyes.

Where did Colton get the money from?

He has money, why didn't he bring it out earlier? Did he not know how exhausting it is for him to be here, chatting and laughing with other men?

"Here's a hundred thousand. In addition to the previous times, I'll pay you all at once. Don't come again in the future," Colton said coldly.

Andrew did not immediately take the money. To tell the truth, in his eyes, this hundred thousand was nothing, really just giving alms to a beggar.

"Alright, Colton, you raised the money so quickly. I'm curious, who would lend you so much at once?"

Andrew said unkindly, his face somewhat unable to hold up. He had been waiting for Colton to come back, just so he could mock him. Also, to make Leyla see clearly how terrible the man she chose was!

But now, Andrew found it difficult to say a lot of words, feeling uncomfortable, feeling a lump in his throat, making him uneasy! "What does it have to do with you?" Colton retorted coldly.

Leyla couldn't bear to watch anymore, stood up and accused, "Colton, that's enough. Andrew has helped us so many times, what are you saying now?"

"Did I ask him for help? Why did he do this, don't you understand?" Colton snapped back, his eyes showing traces of anger.

Leyla was taken aback. She naturally understood why Andrew was so sad for Viviana. But, being accused by her own husband in person, she couldn't take it in terms of face either. She scolded coquettishly, "Colton, what do you mean!"

Colton took a deep breath and calmed his emotions.

Lately, he had been arguing with Leyla more and more often.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Colton shifted the topic to Andrew.

Andrew chuckled twice, picked up the money without saying a word, and rushed out. Leyla glanced angrily at Colton, then chased after him. "Andrew, I'll send you." Silence.

Colton sat in front of Viviana's sick bed, looking at his sleeping daughter, feeling guilty. "Viviana, it must have been hard for you to be with Dad. Let me tell you, from now on, you are a little princess."

Colton gently stroked his daughter's forehead, his eyes filled with doting affection. At this moment, Leyla came back and coldly asked, "Where did you get the money from?" Colton replied without lifting his head, "I borrowed it."

"Who did you borrow it from?"

"Mason."

Leyla let out a sigh of relief. She had thought Colton borrowed from a loan shark. "You have already borrowed from him so many times, you can't keep bothering him every time. Return the money quickly. I heard he is getting married soon."

"I know, I'll return it to him when I have the money," Colton finally looked at Leyla. This woman really is beautiful, even with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, she exudes a special charm.

But perhaps, she still doesn't know.

Her once defeated and worthless husband is now the heir to the wealthiest family in the world.

Turning things around is just a matter of nodding.

Leyla's eyes gradually became cold, and as she looked at her daughter in the hospital bed, she said, "Colton, even if you don't care about yourself, think about Viviana. My father's birthday is this week. Come with me and show some respect to my parents."

Colton didn't say a word, just clenched his fist. This silent and submissive appearance made Leyla very angry. She stomped her foot, and scolded while picking up her bag, "You will live your whole life like this, forever worthless!"

Watching Leyla leave in anger, Colton sighed helplessly.

A life without money or status truly sucks.

Father-in-law? Can he look up to himself?

In the afternoon, Colton had something urgent to deal with, so he asked a nurse to look after Viviana.

Leyla was busy with her company, so she went back early.

Riding an electric bike to deliver takeout orders, Colton started his delivery. An order from the Intercontinental Hotel.

Those who can afford to stay here are generally wealthy.

Room 8808.

Colton knocked on the door. "Hello, your takeout has arrived."

The door creaked open, and in front of him was a well-proportioned woman wearing a cropped strap top with a red rose tattoo on her leg. She had disheveled hair and delicate makeup.

"Hello, your..."

Colton smiled and handed over the takeout, but he suddenly fell silent, "Ar... Arianna?"

"Colton?" The woman on the other side was Mason's girlfriend, Arianna.

At this moment, she stared at Colton in astonishment, suspicion and anger flashing in her eyes. "Viviana, are you done yet? I can't wait any longer, you even brought bunny ears, hehe..."

Inside the room, a sleazy middle-aged man's voice came.

Arianna gave Colton a glare, rudely took the takeout, and slammed the door shut.

Colton stood outside the door like an i***t, taking a long time to react.

Damn it!

Why is Arianna here? And with another man in a hotel room!

Should I tell Mason about this?

Half an hour later, in the lobby downstairs, Colton saw Arianna.

By now, she had changed into a black windbreaker and sat opposite Colton, coldly, wearing high heels.

She took out three hundred dollars from her wallet.

Arianna pressed it on the coffee table and coldly said, "Here's it for you."

Colton looked at the three hundred dollars and sneered, "You're trying to bribe me?"

Arianna frowned, took out another two hundred dollars, threw it down, and coldly said, "Five hundred, is that enough? It's worth two days of your wages."

In an instant!

Colton stood up, anger written all over his face, gritting his teeth, "Arianna, is this how you treat Mason? He's been working so hard for you, and you're getting married at the end of the year!"

"So what? Who said I must marry him?" Arianna sneered and lit a cigarette, disdainfully saying, "Colton, you better take care of yourself. I'm tired of you always borrowing money from Mason."

"You're a man, have some dignity, alright? No wonder your wife wants a divorce, useless!"

After saying that, she stood up, crossed her arms, and proudly looked at Colton, "You're not allowed to talk about what happened today, otherwise, I'll find someone to break your legs."

After finishing her words, Arianna greeted a chubby, middle-aged man waiting there, and the two of them left the hotel together.

Colton clenched his fists in anger, pocketed the money on the table, and also left the hotel.

He had to warn Mason.

Just at this moment, Colton's phone rang.

He glanced at it and saw that it was his company manager, David, calling.

Once he answered the call, there was an almost roaring shout on the other end.

"Colton, what the hell are you doing! Dozens of complaint calls! Did you send them to space?! Get your ass back here and bring the deliveries with you, and then pack your things and get out!"

David was furious. In just half an hour, he received dozens of complaints about Colton.

This was insane!

Doesn't this worthless guy want to work anymore?

"Manager, don't f*****g yell at me. I'm quitting! I'm quitting you!" Colton retorted angrily.

"What the f**k did you just say? Colton, you f*****g idiot..."

Colton hung up the phone directly.

He was already furious.

How could a small manager dare to yell at him?

Before, it was because of circumstances that Colton had to tolerate it.

But now, things were different. He had inherited the family fortune and became the heir of the world's largest conglomerate. Could anyone just yell at him?

Colton immediately took out his phone and called Oscar, saying, "Oscar, I want to buy back my company. Can it be done?"

Oscar replied, "Young Master, that company was originally yours. Although you sold it due to bankruptcy, it's simple if you want to buy it back."

Colton said calmly, "Alright, in ten minutes, I'll become their boss!"

Two minutes later, Oscar responded with a text message: "Young Master, it's done. You are now the big boss of Run Run Delivery Company."

Colton nodded, impressed by Oscar's efficiency.

He mounted an electric scooter and headed straight to the company.

David, just wait for me!

Watch how Daddy crushes you!

Run Run Delivery Company was founded by Colton but poorly managed, leading to bankruptcy and being transferred.

Overnight, Colton went from being the company's boss to an employee.

The former glory was no more, only endless mockery and cold treatment.

Run Run Delivery Limited Liability Company.

At this moment, David was standing in the lobby, staring at the disconnected phone, furious.

"Damn it! This Colton is asking for death! If I don't fire you, did you think I'd send you to space? Get back here and deliver those orders! Then pack your things and get lost!"

Dozens of other employees stood by, not daring to say a word, afraid of getting burned.

Just then, the company's entrance was pushed open.

A middle-aged man walked in.

When David saw the man, his face instantly filled with a flattering smile. "Boss, you're here without even letting me know. I could have picked you up."

The company's big boss, Richard.

With a glance, Richard said, "Everyone, get ready to meet the new boss."

David was taken aback, "New boss?"

Richard said, "Someone has paid ten million to buy the company."

David cautiously asked, "Who is the new boss? Should we prepare anything?"

Richard frowned, "I'm not well acquainted with the new boss, so everyone be careful later."

After saying that, dozens of employees stood at the company entrance with Richard.

David proudly raised his voice, "Everyone stay alert, the new boss is about to arrive. If you perform well, there might be promotions and raises, which are related to your own wallets!"

"He's just a flatterer since he's gained some power!"

"It's only related to his own interests. What a bootlicker!"

A few employees whispered in low voices.

They had been discontented with David for a long time.

He used to be a deliveryman like them.

But this guy was shameless and brown-nosed his way to becoming a manager.

Just then, a black Bentley slowly stopped at the company entrance.

Oscar thought for a moment and decided to come and take a look himself. Maybe he could help the young master solve some problems.

If that happened, it's possible the young master would come home happily.

David stood behind Richard, rubbing his hands excitedly, with an expectant smile on his face: "Here, here."

He knew that when the new boss arrived, his chance to impress him would come!

Just then, Colton parked his electric scooter in front of the Bentley.

The moment David saw Colton, his whole body trembled with anger. He pointed at him and cursed, "Colton, you damn well knew you should come back? Get the f**k out of my way!"
