Novel & Cerita 21 Success Secrets Of Self-made Millionaires

"Nope, I just heard my colleagues talking about you. They said you were featured in the Forbes' young billionaires' list magazine, so you must be really rich." "Well, it's 8.5 million USD, to be exact." My mouth formed and 'o'. "8.5 million USD?! Wow!" "Yup!" The size of his net worth is just so huge. He seems to be hard to reach. He is the out of my league type. I suddenly felt myself as the lowest kind in this world. "Anyways, have you eaten yet?" he asked, changing our topic. I was holding my stomach. I haven't even had lunch and dinner yet.

Thomas shook his head, his face still a mask of unbelieve as he stared at Thomas. "You are so unbelievable, James." Grandfather scolded. "I know of all of your secret movements. I know of all the things you did in secret, but I chose not to say anything about them. I know about your secret family and child, as well as all the times you have been diverting the company's funds." James' face fell, but he did not allow the revelation to get to him; instead, he remained defiant. "I know what is good for me, brother; having a family outside seems to be the only way out for me since my wife is very useless; she could not even give me a male child; she was only able to give birth to a useless female

The client required the signed agreement, and it had to be delivered personally. God is wonderful, truly. In just a month, I transformed my life, from hundreds of millions to billions, all built on my own skill and determination, though part of the money I had saved from Lucien was almost five hundred millions, it's supposed to be more than that, but I'm always buying one gift or the other or planning a surprise party for him, but mostly, it was from my own effort. My designs, my persistence and my work.

Lily was about to reach the peak of her life. And I was going to pull the net tight. I grabbed a pen and started adding up the numbers. Initial investment: $5 million. Follow-up funding: $12 million. Rent difference: $8 million. Personal credit guarantee: $3 million. Total: $28 million. And that was just the cash. It didn't count my connections, my blood, sweat, and my love. Looking at that number, I almost laughed. I spent nearly thirty million dollars to raise two backstabbing wolves. They took everything, bit the hand that fed them, and called me a traitor.

“Did you see anything in the room at least, that could help you Identify him? I hesitated, the watch flashing in my mind. “I know he's rich, like filthy rich. He had a Patek Philippe Grandmaster chime on the nightstand.” Laura blinked, “I've heard that name before,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “Isn't that Scott's dream watch?” She asked. I nodded, my chest tightening. “ It is.” “Oh Linda, I'm so sorry for bringing him up.” She apologized. “It's fine,” I said softly.

“He barely even cared. Signed the papers like it was just another business deal.” Skyler’s eyes widened dramatically. “No way. No drama? No ‘how could you leave me’ moment?” “None,” I replied, letting out a small laugh. “He asked me where I got the $10 million from, though. He couldn’t wrap his head around the idea that I didn’t touch his money. Two years and he still knows nothing about me.” Skyler raised his glass in a mock toast. “To the mysterious and ever-resilient Sophia! I knew you had it in you.”

~017 The Takeover Begins --- For the first time in weeks, Xavier didn't start his morning at the office. He started it in silence. Standing barefoot in his penthouse, staring out at the Paris skyline, coffee untouched in his hand. His father once said: > "A real man builds his empire in silence-then watches the world beg for access." But Lucien hadn't come for access. He'd come to burn it all down. And Xavier could feel the fire rising.

"Hey, Miller, did Jessie ever mention anything about an inheritance or a trust fund?" He looked up from his desk, his expression a mix of curiosity and confusion. "Inheritance? No, I don’t think so. Why do you ask?" "Well," I continued, "it just seems to me that Alan’s career wouldn’t have even gotten off the ground without Jessie’s financial backing, and that money came from her inheritance. In a way, she’s sort of ‘funded’ his success. So, if she’s asking for that money back, it could be more about pride than anything else. Maybe he doesn’t want to acknowledge the role she played in his rise. Or worse, maybe he can’t afford the amount of money that was funded without taking a severe financ

The boy who dreamed of making something of himself. I had not been born with a silver spoon in my mouth. Nothing was handed to me. Everything I have today, I fought for.
