C2 Hundreds of Billions of Assets!
"Are you referring to me?" Lloyd was stunned.
A luxurious car suddenly appeared and this beautiful lady in black stockings that stepped out of it actually called him President Walker? She even said she was his secretary?
How was this possible?
"Yes, boss. Please get in the car."
The beautiful woman did not say anything else. She turned around and opened the car door. Her attitude was extremely respectful.
Lloyd walked into the car doubtfully. Suddenly, he remembered the call he received this morning ...
Was she a swindler?
But even if she was a one, it didn't matter. He had nothing to lose anyway, so he wasn't afraid at all.
"I just looked up this car on Baidu. Even the cheapest one costs 4 million. It's definitely a sign of being rich."
"Didn't you say that he was a poor plebeian? How could he have such a beautiful secretary!"
"Maybe this guy is a rich young master that was deliberately pretending to be poor in order to gain Lorelei Lambert's sympathy. Now he's not pretending anymore and will be himself again."
The moment the car door closed, the surrounding students immediately became agitated.
Those who were mocking Lloyd had looks of jealousy and envy.
After Lloyd got in the car, Camryn Whitaker sat next to him in the back.
The refreshing and pleasant fragrance on her body made Lloyd's heart soften a little.
"Thank you for helping me out earlier." Lloyd thought that Camryn Whitaker was a rich family's daughter, and seeing him being humiliated, she helped him out with good intentions.
Camryn Whitaker giggled. "Boss, I'm really the secretary your family prepared for you."
"You are now an adult. It's time for you to regain your identity."
"What identity?"
Lloyd felt that Camryn Whitaker was making fun of him as his expression darkened. "My parents passed away a long time ago. I was raised by my uncle. He is just an ordinary person. I also have a grandfather that I don't see often. Every time he comes to see me, he has to borrow money from Uncle. I am just an ordinary person."
Camryn Whitaker smiled mysteriously after hearing this.
She took out her phone and sent a WeChat video call. Then, she handed her phone to Lloyd and said, "Your grandpa, Elder Lloyd, is overseas right now. He will explain everything to you personally."
The video connected and a kind-looking old man in a Tang suit appeared.
It was Lloyd's grandfather, Derrick Walker.
However, his temperament and the grandpa Lloyd knew since he was young were completely different.
In his memories, his grandfather had always carried a wretched feeling with him. His grandfather was short on money, so he would have to ask his uncle for money every time he came to see him.
As for the old man in the video, his aura was extraordinary, making people feel that he was not a simple person.
"Grandfather?" Lloyd shouted in disbelief.
"Tian Tian, you've suffered all these years."
Derrick Walker kindly called out Lloyd's nickname. "Now that you have grown up, there are many things that you need to know. Our Walker family is actually not the Walker family in your memories, but a wealthy family with hundreds of billions of assets."
"Hundreds of billions of assets!"
Lloyd was in disbelief. "Grandpa, are you kidding me? Every time you visited me, you would have to get Uncle to pay for the trip."
"Silly child, I was just acting."
"Your uncle actually isn't related to you in any way. He's my secretary."
Derrick Walker explained with a smile.
"In order to test and hone your temperament, I've decided to conceal the truth from you since young, allowing you to live as an ordinary person. His mission has already been completed, and he won't meet you again in the future." He continued, "I am old, and I need an heir strong enough to carry the burden of this great Walker family.
"You are my only blood relative, but if you want to take over the Walker family's business, your identity alone won't be enough. You need to have sufficient ability … I told Camryn Whitaker to give you three hundred million, so you can freely use this money. However, if you manage to lose it, then I will have someone else become the successor of the Walker family.
"If that happens, you will live as an ordinary person for the rest of your life … Do you understand?"
These words were like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Lloyd's heart was beating wildly.
Everything that had happened since he was young was just an illusion arranged by his grandpa, while his identity was that of a rich and powerful young master.
As long as he could prove that he had the ability, he could take over all of that money.
Thinking of that possibility, Lloyd's blood started to boil.
"Grandpa, three hundred million are enough!" Lloyd clenched his trembling fist and swore to himself: "I will use these three hundred million to earn even more money. I won't let you down!"
"Very good. It seems that all these years of living an ordinary life hasn't worn down your spirit. I'm waiting for your good news." Derrick Walker revealed a pleased smile." Then let's do it this way. Camryn Whitaker will stay in Siango to help you."
"Grandfather, wait a moment!"
Lloyd hurriedly shouted when he saw that his grandpa was about to hang up the call.
"Since you've already told me the truth, can you tell me how my parents died?"
His heart trembled to Lloyd's words. He had asked this question countless times, never to receive an answer.
Would Grandpa tell him everything today?
However …
As the smile on Derrick Walker's face slowly disappeared, he shook his head.
"Now is not the time. You will know when the time is ripe. However, you must remember, no matter what you do, you must never be as arrogant as your father was back then."
"Don't let arrogance be your downfall. You must remember that."
With that, Derrick Walker cut off the video.
Lloyd was disappointed but he made up his mind.
"The reason why grandfather is unwilling to tell me about this is definitely not simple. If I want to know the truth, then I must have sufficient strength. Grandfather is right. Before that, I absolutely must not let myself be swallowed by my emotions."
"Boss, this card has 300 million at your disposal. Also, this is my contact number. You can contact me anytime you want."
Camryn Whitaker put away her mobile phone and took out a universal transfer gold card from the Swiss Bank, as well as her contact details, and gave them to Lloyd.
After learning some information, he left the school with the driver.
After getting out of the car, Lloyd felt like he had been reborn when he saw the awe in the eyes of the people around him.
The entire world was filled with hope and light.
"Unfortunately, if this had happened earlier, Lorelei Lambert wouldn't have refused my confession and ran off with Adrian Mendez." Lloyd revealed a wry smile.
But then he thought about it.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
If Lorelei Lambert knew he was so rich, she would definitely get with him because of the money — that wasn't what he wanted.
Back to the dorm.
A few of his roommates were lying on the bed playing King's Glory.
"Tian, didn't you go to confess to Lorelei Lambert? Did you succeed?" After one round, Bryan put down his phone and asked in concern.
"I was rejected." Lloyd spread out his hands. There was nothing much to hide. The news would spread throughout the whole school soon anyway.
"You're overestimating yourself." The dorm head, Joel Simon smacked his lips as he sneered, "Even I can't compare to that Adrian Mendez, but I was still rejected by Lorelei Lambert. You are but a poor plebeian. You are just asking for trouble. "
Joel Simon had a good family background and was the richest person in the dorm.
His family even bought him a modern Elantra. He was used to the feeling of being a rich young master — he liked feeling high and mighty.
He showed a sense of superiority when talking to Lloyd from time to time.
Seeing that Lloyd was rejected, he started to add insult to injury.
Lloyd knew Joel Simon had a good family background and had always looked down on him, but now that he had three hundred million, he had to get rid of Joel Simon's feeling of superiority!
"In order to celebrate my rejection, I've decided to treat everyone to a meal today."
Lloyd suddenly said.
"Why are you so generous today? You only eat steamed buns, and you still want to treat us to food?" Bryan looked surprised. For the past few days, Lloyd had been saving money to buy Lorelei Lambert a present so all he ate were steamed buns. Lloyd's sudden generosity made Bryan feel a little uncomfortable.
"It's rare for Lloyd to be so generous. How about we go to that red stall by the side of the road to eat some skewers?" Marsh Higgins suggested.
"Isn't that roadside stall dirty? Aren't you afraid of feeling ill after eating?" Joel Simon once again showed his sense of superiority.
"Head, it's rare for Lloyd to treat us to a meal. Don't tell me you want him to treat us to a meal in a five-star restaurant?" Bryan knew Joel Simon's character. He thought Joel Simon's words were unfair towards Lloyd.
"That's right, dorm head. You get tired of eating delicious food all the time, so it's good to try something different." Marsh Higgins flattered him.
Joel Simon enjoyed the flattery of others. He knew that Lloyd, a poor plebeian, would not invite them to a good place to eat.
Since it was a dormitory activity, it wasn't good if he didn't go. It seemed too out of place.
"Fine, since Lloyd is the one who invited us to dinner, I will follow you to experience that roadside stall." Joel Simon pretended to reluctantly agree.
