I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 389
Mindy followed Hugo into the room nervously only to be shocked by what she saw.
David and Celia were chatting in the room!
Mindy was confused with what she saw, she even thought that something was wrong with her
eyes.
Mindy rubbed her eyes but was met with the same sight.
“Mom!” Celia greeted when she saw Mindy.
“Please sit, Mrs. Young,” David greeted as well.
Mindy had yet to realize what was happening.
What she saw next gave her another shock and she refused to believe her eyes.
Just then, Hugo walked over to stand respectfully behind David.
‘What’s going on?’
Mindy felt her mind run on overdrive and her understanding of the world refreshed.
This was Hugo Carlos, the head of East League Capitals’ Capital City investment team.
This man held a huge amount of cash flow in his hand and spent over a hundred billion over the past month
Yet, right now this man stood respectfully behind David, while the latter acted as if nothing was out of place.
Mindy felt her mind blank and go dizzy.
After sitting there dazedly, she did not ask any questions before David explained.
“Mrs. Young, I’ve only asked you to come to tell you the truth about my identity, nothing much.
“I’m the actual owner and boss of East League Capitals. The ‘L’ in East Leagues is a reference t o the ‘L’in my last name, Lidell. I wanted to come clean on this a long time ago, but I never really had the chance to say anything.
“Plus, even if I did say anything, I doubt you would have believed me and thought that I was just spouting nonsense.
“So seeing that Hugo’s here today, as the head of East League Capitals’ Capital City investment team, I believe my words are more likely to be believed this time. If there’s anything you want to know, please ask away.”
Then, David stopped talking and waited for Mindy to speak However, Mindy’s mind was buffering right now.
She could not believe what David said, about him being the owner of East League Capitals.
If not for Hugo standing courteously behind David, she would have taken David for a madman.
David was just a poor boy from a small county and now he had become the owner of a business worth trillions of dollars!
No one would believe this, certainly not Mindy, but she did not have another option when Hugo was still standing behind David.
Mindy could not fathom any other reason that would compel Hugo, the head of East League Capitals’ Capital City investment team, to stand respectfully behind David other than the fact that he was Hugo’s superior.
“Uh…” For a moment, Mindy did not know how to call David.
It seemed wrong to call him “David” so casually but “Mr. Lidell” seemed wrong too when he was going to be her son-in-law.
Thus, she was stuck.
“Mrs. Young, you can just call me David,” The man immediately said, realizing the conflict she felt.
“D-David, are you really the owner of East League Capitals?” Mindy asked hesitantly.
Even with the truth right before her eyes, everything still felt like a dream.
“Truly. I was the one who founded East League Capitals. Of course, all I did was set a strategic approach for the business, while the execution was taken care of by Hugo and the others. So the company’s achievements are thanks to their hard work as well.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Lidell. East League Capitals’ current success is thanks to your leadership as well. We’re just following orders, any other employee would have done the same if not better than I did,” Hugo said.
“Stop, stop, there’s no need to be so humble. All of you played an important part in making East League Capitals the business it is today, I won’t forget any of your hard work. But remember that East League Capitals has only just started, we’re still far from the goal I set, so I hope you keep the good work up.”
“Yes, Mr. Lidell!” Hugo replied respectfully.
Mindy did not know what to say anymore.
If a business worth trillions of dollars was still far from David’s set goal, then Mindy wondered how great were the heights he wanted to achieve.
Did he want to build a conglomerate that could influence the local economy?
Considering East League Capitals’ current rate of development, such a goal was achievable.
‘A conglomerate!
Mindy’s started looking at David differently.
She always liked David, but it used to be due to his aura and looks.
However, a man’s true worth was more than his aura and looks.
A man’s true worth came in the form of actual success and achievements.
David had yet to turn twenty-two and had yet to graduate from university, but he had already achieved more than 99% of the world population.
There was no imagining how far he could go in the future.
Celia had great taste.
All these years, Celia had felt no attraction to any of the aristocratic heirs or sons of wealthy families. It had always been the poor boy David for her.
Now, this supposed poor boy had become the boss of East League Capitals.
This was unbelievable.
It seemed like Celia was truly blessed, after all.
As her mother, Mindy was elated.
Her ex-classmates would turn green with envy if they found out about this.
“Mrs. Young, by revealing my true identity to you today, I also wanted to tell you that I don’t actually have the time to take over Beautylish Group, so I’ll be leaving it in your hands to manage and operate. But, if you ever need my help, I would be happy to give it to you and even make Beautylish Group the biggest makeup product company in the world.”
Mindy shuddered and asked in surprise, “R-really?”
“Of course. You’ve seen East League Capitals’ strength yourself. As long as we put our mindst o it, nothing is impossible.”
“Then… Thank you, M-David!” Mindy still felt uncomfortable calling him that.
She had no qualms calling him by the name before she knew of his identity, but now that she knew he owned East League Capitals, it felt wrong to call him that too casually.
After all, there was a huge difference in their statuses.
“Yeah, so that’s all I wanted to say. If there’s anything you want to ask, you can ask when weg o back. We’ll be leaving now, keep the good work up and make more investments, Hugo! I’ll
increase your annual reward.”
David said as he got up to leave.
Celia got up and followed.
Mindy saw them move and stood to follow as well.
“Yes, Mr. Lidell! I won’t let you down!” Hugo replied courteously.
