Chapter 3 The New Chairman

"I will be controlling everyone's future, and I will also be as wealthy as I have always dreamed of!"

Closing his eyes, Patrick took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Something about him seemed to have changed.

It was his hope for the future that was rekindled after a long difficult life of poverty.

Now, he felt a lot more confident than before.

All of a sudden, Patrick opened his eyes.

There was a hint of sparkle, a strong sense of determination, and an indomitable will in them.

"He started from scratch, and it took him decades to achieve great success. But now that I already have the foundation that he laid out for me, I can do a lot better than him!" Patrick said slowly, but his tone was very firm.

After all, a man's promise was comparable to the value of gold. And Patrick made his promise now. However, he still found it difficult to address that man as his father.

Elvin left his phone number and left.

Holding the black credit card, which was still warm to the touch, Patrick felt like it was all a dream.

He had been a poor man living in the slum, but now, he was rich. He was determined to make the ones that insulted him pay for what they did to him. No one would dare to look down upon him now.

"Mr. Nelson, I have done everything that you asked me to do."

"Well... How are they doing? And how is their life?" There was a long moment of silence on the other end of the line. Walter's shaky breaths indicated that he was still suffering from guilt over leaving his son and wife.

Walter, who was known as a cold and ruthless business tycoon, had never been as nervous as he was now.

"He accepted the gift you gave him and he has agreed to take over the business in Glouland." Elvin did not answer him. Judging from his conversation with Patrick, he knew that Patrick shared several characteristic traits with Walter. He wanted to pay back people for insulting him.

"That's good! I was really worried that he might refuse. Anyway, I am glad he did!" Walter breathed a sigh of relief and chucked softly, feeling like a weight had been lifted off his chest.

"He is still holding a grudge against you, though. And I am afraid that he may..."

"I understand, and I will make it up to them slowly. So what if he becomes a playboy, it doesn't matter to me. However, if he's capable, I believe that he will be the perfect successor to Nelson Group."

If a person, who was not wise or had a good vision for the future, became rich overnight, they would mostly become playboys.

Walter didn't expect too much from his son. However, his heart was filled with some expectations, just like any father's.

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and the Skiyton Hotel was standing tall, compared to all the other buildings in the dazzling heart of the city.

And every morning, the employees would come early to clean the hotel until it was sparkling.

About two hundred people were waiting at the door, from security guards to the vice general manager. Two long rows of people flanked on either side of the red carpet that led to the front desk of the hotel. The one standing in the front was the vice general manager, Judson, who had taken away Patrick's ex-girlfriend.

As he waited for the new chairman to welcome him, he was holding a bottle of the most expensive Lafite he could find in the hotel.

The hotel staff began to whisper to each other.

"What kind of a man is the new chairman? Is he a middle-aged man or an old man?"

"This new chairman must have an unusual relationship with Mr. Nelson. I have rarely ever seen our vice general manager being so respectful to someone."

"Don't talk nonsense. I am sure that the new chairman must be an important person even if he's not friends with Mr. Nelson."

"Elissa told me about it. Who knows whether it's true or not?"

The moment people heard that, they turned to look at the beautiful woman in the crowd.

She was dressed in a black suit, which made her seem very capable and shrewd. Her round and curvy butt attracted many men there.

She was Patrick's ex-girlfriend, Elissa.

When she heard the crowd's discussion, she smiled proudly.

After all, she loved the attention she was getting from them.

With a hint of contempt in her eyes, Elissa said indifferently, "Don't worry. It's completely true. I heard it from vice general manager."

Judson, who was the vice general manager of the hotel, supported her to become one of the lobby managers.

As soon as she took over the position, she began earning almost twenty thousand dollars a month. She was still a college student, and she only worked there part-time. There were many employees, who were jealous of her.

"Elissa is so beautiful, and her words are absolutely reliable!"

"I'm a huge admirer, Elissa. I am definitely going to need your help and guidance someday."

Some employees seized the opportunity to flatter her.

And Elissa was happy to hear that. She was overjoyed to see that her difficult days with Patrick were now over, and her life was finally exactly the way she wanted it to be. Moreover, she had achieved it all on her own.

At this moment, the man they were all waiting for got out of his taxi.

Patrick was dressed formally in a crisp white shirt and black suit pants.

He had purchased the suit to wear it to his neighbor's wedding.

And because he did not have much time on his hands, he had not been able to shop for the event.

"I will be starting a new life from today."
