"James since you have been gone, the projects that you took over after acquiring them, has finally been finished. so, you should see the profits flowing in soon" Lucian said excitedly
"That's really good news. Yet, travelling the world seems to be a lot more fun" saying with a smile.
"Wait I just thought of something, the cars, the antiques and knowing you to find projects to invest in, how much did you spend?" The Madam asked.
"Oh, just a little bit, not much"
A maid walked in with Stefan at "Mister Scoot is here to see Mr James"
"Stefan it is good to see you after so long" James said casually
"Young master, you have grown a lot since the last time we spoke"
"It's because I have wonderful friends, what brings you here today?" James asked and explained
Stefan seat across the for of them sighing before saying "I'm glad that you four have grown very close, James you were always a good kid I'm very happy to see others see what I see in you"
"Thank you, Stefan that means a lot,"
Stefan nodded as he pulled out a small box from his jacket it pocket placing it in in front of James. " Don't open that just yet. Young Master that money I sent you how much do you have left?"
"I could only spend a quarter of it and that was a struggle as is"
"Not good enough, the box I gave you is your families heirloom. I believe you already know the conditions about that?"
"I do. It's almost time."
"Good, down to business. Your reward for dealing with those four, the only thing you don't have is a Proper place. so, this gift is going to be an Estate in Heart-vail, Villa number 1."
"That place has been the most sort over for many years, last I heard it was priced at a few billion" Lucian said in shock.
"thank you, but what did you mean by not good enough for not spending that money?" James asked.
Stefan looked at James boredly "Spent every last cent of it soon as possible, Young Miss Charlotte Please ensure he spends it all and message me when that trillion is completely gone."
James looked at Stefan coldly "Leave Charlotte out of it, I will spend every last cent"
Charlotte had the same gaze "Mr Scott, please refrain asking me to keep tabs on James in the future"
their gazes at Stefan made him began to have cold sweats instantly, thinking to himself "this is like the old master and mistress all over again, a dragon and a phoenix"
"My apologies Young Master and Young Miss" Stefan felt the tension lessen as their gazes relaxed hearing the apology sighing, noticing that James hand had landed on Charlottes leg soon as they both gazes turned cold "You two are very loyal towards each other" signalling an expression about his hand on her leg.
James looked down and quickly moved his hand; he didn't even realize when his hand was there, nor did charlotte until James removed his hand.
"Stefan why is it important to spend the money?"
"The thing is, you need to spend the money even if you push everything into one company and expand it or spend it on silly stuff, soon as you spend it, I will send more. you remember how vast your family assets were. They could spend each day spending without worry; I want you to inherit it all once again. I have been reclaiming what was lost all those years ago with Isabell. so spent that money and I will transfer more soon as you finished"
James shook his head in disappointment "Imagine that I have a few hundred billion net-worth by time the weeks end"
"At the moment you're like 1 billion from what you did on your 3-month Vacation, Miss Charlotte is like 400 million now as well, her net-worth is more than her parents"
"Mhm, Lucian I'm giving you half what I have for your company push the limits" James transferred 200 billion to The Brand company account. and the rest to his own LLC for his personal company informing Frank of what he did and is goal to push the company further. turning the phone to Stefan, "there it all is spend"
"Indeed, it appears to be" Stefan transferred more money to James. saying "now use this money to build your assets and weekly income"
"So many tasks you keep giving him, have you ever thought James has everything he needs at this point? forcing him to do this is no different as how others treated him in the past" Charlotte said before storming off.
"Stefan you still hiding something from me and keep forcing this upon me. I understand why Charlotte is angry" James said his peace and chased after Charlotte; she walked into her room. James quickly followed in behind her closing the door, wrapping his arms around her giving Charlotte a hug "I'm sorry James i can't stand what I'm hearing"
hearing footsteps approaching, they took a step back from each other "Charlotte don't be sorry for standing up for what you believe in"
"Stefan has left, he apologized for how he spoke and didn't mean for it to turn into this, everything will be clear soon" The Madam said walking between both Charlotte and James pulling them both into a hug "I am proud of you both"
Lucian joined into the hug as well saying "I'd get jealous if I didn't join the group hug"
hearing what Lucian said everyone bursted out laughing, James dismissed himself and went into the spare room the Madam arranged for him. with the box Stefan left him. sitting cross legged on the bed he opened up the box seeing an Obsidian ring with streaks of gold flowing through it, at the sight of it the ring was calling out to him.
The next morning James woke up as the sun shined into his eyes, his chest was feeling too heavy to sit up. As he slowly opened his eyes, James saw Charlottes head laying on his shoulder bone and hand on the opposite side of his chest "Charlotte you're a cunny sphinx." saying barely audiable
"I'm not a Sphinx" replying in the same tone.
"It's morning you might be seen"
Charlotte moaned a little as she started to wake up a bit more "I'll just tell them we spent half the night emailing everyone selling assets and such"
"See cunning, come on. let's get up"
outside at the dining table a maid walked in saying "Sir, The young lady was spotted coming out of Mr Jefferson's room"
"Do not speak a word of this to anyone got it?"
"Understood sir" the maid walked away in a hurry, "I thought they would get close like that" Lucian said with a smile.
