Larry suddenly received a call from the hospital. His sister, Christina, was in critical condition due to complications during childbirth.
Rushing to the hospital, Larry immediately went to the payment office, hoping to negotiate a delay for the medical bills.
However, when he inquired with the nurse, he was told that Christina had already been transferred overnight to the best private hospital in New York for treatment.
Larry was shocked and quickly asked, "How much will it cost? I'll find a way to pay!"
The nurse replied, "The total cost is three million. One million has already been paid; two million is still needed. The full amount must be paid within a week."
"Who paid the one million?" he asked.
The nurse shook her head, "I don't know."
Puzzled, Larry turned around and saw a man in a black suit with slightly graying hair, appearing to be around fifty years old, standing behind him.
Their eyes met, and the man bowed to him, saying, "Young master, you've suffered for so many years!"
Larry frowned, his demeanor changing, and asked coldly, "Is it you again, William?"
The man, surprised and delighted, exclaimed, "Young master!"
William, looking pained, said, "Young master, the master has been looking for you all these years. Now that you're found, please come back with me to see him!"
Larry replied coldly, "Leave. I will never see him in this lifetime."
William asked, "Young master, do you still blame the master?"
"Of course," Larry said word by word, "I will never forgive him!"
William sighed, "The master said you might not forgive him before I came."
"At least he knows himself well!" Larry retorted.
William continued, "The master knows you've suffered over the years and wants to compensate you. If you don't want to return, he has bought the largest company in New York for you, and here is a card I gave you before. The password is your birthday."
"Young master, there are only five such cards in the entire United States."
Larry shook his head, "Take it back. I don't want it."
William said, "Young master, your sister still needs two million for her medical bills. If the payment isn't made, her life could be in danger..."
Larry frowned, "Are you trying to manipulate me?"
William hurriedly replied, "I wouldn't dare! If you accept this card, it will cover the cost."
Larry asked, "How much is in the card?"
"The master said it's a small amount for your spending, not much, a total of ten billion."
Ten billion?!
Larry was stunned.
He knew his family was wealthy, but when he was young, he had no concept of money, only knowing that the Hermes family was one of the top families in New York and the United States.
But the exact amount of money was unclear to him.
At this moment, he understood.
Ten billion as pocket money meant the Hermes family's wealth must be in the trillions!
To be honest, at this moment, he was tempted deep down.
William saw his hesitation and quickly said, "Young master, you are a member of the Hermes family. This money is rightfully yours."
"The master said that if you are willing to return, you will inherit the family's trillion-dollar fortune. If not, this money will be your living expenses."
"Oh, and the largest company in New York, the Empire Group, valued at one hundred billion yuan, was fully acquired by the Hermes family yesterday. All shares are now in your name. You can go to the Empire Group for the handover tomorrow!"
Larry was incredulous.
The Hermes family had gone to such great lengths for him?
A ten billion black card and a one hundred billion Empire Group!
Although New York was filled with powerful figures, the king was the Empire Group. Any family had to bow down to it in the business world of New York.
Unexpectedly, it was now his?
William handed him a business card, saying, "Young master, you might need some time to calm down and think. I won't disturb you. Here's my phone number. Contact me anytime if you need anything!"
With that, William turned and left.
After he left, Larry was still standing there, dazed.
He didn't know if he should accept the Hermes family's compensation.
But thinking about the hardships and humiliations he had endured over the past ten years, why shouldn't he accept the compensation from the Hermes family?
Moreover, Christina's medical bills urgently needed two million.
With this in mind, he gritted his teeth and immediately returned to the payment office, "Hello, I'd like to pay the remaining two million."
Swiping the card, entering the password, the transaction was successful.
Two million was easily transferred to the hospital's account.
Larry felt like he was in a dream.
Had he just become a billionaire?
