In the City of Springfield, its a decorative and illuminant lit up the extravagant Travis Family Mansion.
Tonight was the 70th birthday celebration of Lord Travis the head of the Travis family.
His children and grandchildren together with their spouses, gathered in front of him and handed over their expensive and luxurious present.
"grandfather, I heard you like gems, diamond and pearls,this is my gift to you, a
a cowdray pearl its worth 53 million dollars"
"Grandpa, this is my present, its called highly translucent emperial jade worth 47 million dollars"
Looking at the shining Pearl and jade and other well-wrapped gifts, Lord Travis laugh happily.
But the good vibes inside the hall wrecked when Darel Smith the eldest grandson-in-law suddenly appeared and spoke "Grandfather, could you lend me a million dollars or half million dollars, Mr.Tyler from House of New Day Orphanage is diagnosed with brain tumor and I need the money for his surgey".
Everyone stared at Darel in surperised and with a trace of disgust in their faces.
Four years ago, when Lady Travis was alive, she came home with Darel, and arrange the marriage for Darel and her Granddaughter Thea Travis, in that time, Lady Travis is the one who was In charge of the Family because of Lord Wallace hospitalization.
When Lady Travis died after the married, everyone in the Wallace Family tried to cast him out from the Travis family, However, Darel is nonchalant like a stone despite ridiculed and insulted, he spent his life as a worthless live-in son-in-law of the Travis Family.
He didn't know any relatives to borrow money, he swallowed his pride and begged to the Wallace family to borrow some money.
Mr.Tyler who had saved him and stand as his father ever since his parents died in accident kas a Brain Tumor and needs to be operated and it cost two million dollars to start the surgery.
He thought that sinve its birhtday, Lord Travis might lend him some money, but he didn't expect their respond,
However, Lord Travis is still laughing cheerfully, but because of Darel sudden appear, his lips curled downwards and his eyes become furious.
He throw the coffee cup on his hand to the floor before he shouted angrily "Stupid bast*rd! are here to for the celebration of my birthday or are here as a beggar?"
That time, Thea defended him and said "grandfather, he is not thinking straight, please spare him" and then she pulled her husband aside.
At this moment, Resty, Thea's cousin sneered before he said "Thea, look at your husband, he is junk, not like my wife Hilda, she gave grandfather a imperial fade worth 47 million dollars, and here is you husband borrowing money like a beggar on the street"
"precisely! Charlie, we're both in-law of Travis Family, but you are such a disgrace"
The who just said it is Hilda, wife of Resty Travis, who was also a daughter ofthe wealthy Klark family in Springfield City.
Thea is the famous and mostlikely the goddess of in Springfield, but Hilda was very irritated when such a beauty married a waste like Darel.
"the best option for this wothless bast*rd is to get out of the Travis Family"
"yes! you're right, such a disgrace"
Darel clenched his fist tightly as the whole Travis Family is ridiculing him, if its not for the sake of Mr.Tyler, he wouldn't dare to borrow money from them even if he has the fearlesness of a tiger.
However, Darel remembered his Mother's words that he should be grateful to accept any help from others and to return the favor hundred fold if possible, Yhen he suppressed his anger and humuliation from his in-laws and said "grand father, please have mercy, Mr.Tyler is the only Famiky I have"
Then someone in the crowd said loudly "stop forcing grandpa to give you money, you are a grown-up now, if you need money, you should've find your own way to earn"
It was Resty's brother, Kent Travis.
This two brothers have always been ridiculing and humiliating Darel ever since., and they are more superior to them in any aspect because they are the favotirate grandchild of Lord Travis.
Thea said in an awkward face "Grandpa, Darel's parents died when he was six, Mr.Tyler is the one who brought him up, he was just trying to return the favor for Mr.Tyler"
Lord Travis growled with an ugly face "you want me to help him? okay, divorce him now and maried to , if you do what I said, I'll give him a million dollars right away!"
Mr.Hail who just mentioned by Lord Travis is reffering to Henry Hail, a man who was persuing Thea to abandoned her marriage and to mary him instead. The Hail Family is one of the prominent families in the upper social class of Springfield. Which was more powerfull the the Travis Family, Lord Travis is always wanted to be tied up with the prominent families in the city.
At this time, A helper of the Hail Family run towards Lord Travis and said "Mr.Hail had a birthday present to Lord Travis, a well-curved jadite budha worth 82 million dollars"
The Jadite Buddha was pure jade and the helper immediately presented it and everyone in the hall send chills on their spine when they heard the price of the buddha.
Hilda is staring at the buddha and felt irritated,she didn't expect that Henry Hail who didn't had nothing to do to the Travis Family wil be so generous to them.
Lord Travis stared at the buddha cheerfully and said "oh, Mr.Hail is so generous, it will be a dream come true if he is my grandson-in-law"
Then he lifted his heat to Thea and asked "have yoy decided? do you want to follow my instruction and divorce that trash or what?"
Thea shook his headand said "no grandpa! I will never, ever divorce Darel"
Darelle didn't want to stay with the Travis family anymore, so he said "Thea, I'm going to visit Mr.Tyler in the hospital"
Thea quickly said "okay! I'll go with you"
Lord Travis loudly said "Thea, if you leave now, you are no longer part of Travis family, you, your mom, ypur dad and that worthless piece of sh*t"
Thea stared at her grandfather, she didn't expect that kind of harsh statement from her grandfather.
Darel said "don't worry about me, you stay here with them, I'll be fine"
Darel gritted his in annoyance and left the villa without looking back.

When Darel arrived at the hospital, he immediately went to the casier station and to negotiate about the payment of Mr.Tyler's hospitalization.
However when he talked to the nurses, they inform Darel that Mr.Tyler has been transferred to a private hospitan in Scotland for treatment.
Darel was shocke and he quickly asked "how much does it cost? I'll find a way to settle the biils"
The nurse said "the total bill is three milion, 1.5 million dollars has been paid. the remaining balance needs to be paid with in a week".
"what? who covered the 1.5 million dollars?"
The nurse shook her head before she said "I have no Idea sir".
When Darel turned around and still confused,he saw a man in his fifties in a black suit standing behind him.
they stared to each other and the man bowed to him before he said said "we've finally found you young master, Im sorry for all the misery you've suffered"
Darelbasked the man like he was a different person "are you Steve Johnson?"
The man surprised "you still remember me young master?"
Darel startled a bit and he Murmured "why should I forget you? I remember every each of you who forcibly casted my parents out of the Scotland. My parents died a month after we left that country"
Steve sadly said "young master, Lord Smith is very sad when learned about your parents death, he never stop looking for you, lets go home young master"
Darel coldly said "just go, I don't want to see him, I'll never forgive him in my entire life"
Steve sighed before he said "lord Smith knows that you had a hard life in this past years, he said if you don't wanna go home, he'll buy the largest company in Springfield and give it to you and here, take this card and the pin vode is ****" then he gave the premium black card to darel.
"there are only three of that bank card in the world"
Darel shook his head before he said "no! take it away, I don't need it"
Steve said "take this card young master because you still have a bills to pay"
Darel asked "how much is in this card?"
"Lord Smith deposited a little amount as tour pocket money for the mean time, its not that much young master, only twenty billion dollars"
"twenty million dollars?"
Darel was so shocked, he always knew that his Grandfather has a lot of moeny back when he was six, but he just realized that his grand father is super rich.
If twenty billion dollars is just a pocket money from him, then the net worth of entire Smith Family of Scotland must be hundreds of trilkion dollars.
At this moment Darel was sloghtly swayed, However, he remembered on how his grandfather treated his deceased , when Steve felt Darel's frustration, He quickly said "you are the only heir if the Smith family, so that money is yours young master"
"Lord Smith said, if you are willing to go home, you inherit the hundred trillion business empire, if you choose to stay here, use the money to live"
Then someone shouted excitedly "The Empire Group and the most profitable company with a market value of eight hundred billion dollars has been fully acquired bu the Smith family yesterday"
Steve followed "you can claim your right to the company tommorow young master"
