On the night he was abandoned by his wife, he took out the Centurion Card with 400 million in it. It opened the door for him to become the richest in the world...
"Austin Gabbe, where are you?"
At this moment, Austin was running wildly with the takeaway.
"I'm delivering food. I'll go back after delivering the order."
The woman cursed, "Do you know what day it is today? I'll give you ten minutes to go home. Otherwise, don't come back forever!"
"Beth, please. Let me explain..."
Austin yelled at the phone, but it was already hung up.
Beth Whelan was not his birth mother but his mother-in-law.
Her attitude towards Austin was getting worse because Austin was a working poor.
"Hello, your take-out has arrived. Please give me a good review if you're convenient. Thank you."
"You're ten seconds late. Why should I give you a good review? You wish!" The woman took the delivery and slammed the door.
Austin didn't have time to argue with her. He rushed downstairs quickly.
When he rushed home at full speed, he was stopped by the traffic police halfway.
"You're suspected of speeding and running a stop light. Please go to the roadside for investigation."
Austin said anxiously, "I passed during the yellow light. I have something urgent. Can you let me go?"
"I'm sorry, sir. Please accept my investigation." The traffic police remained unmoved.
Austin yelled in despair, "F*ck! Why are you all pushing me!"
He grabbed the small gift box in the courier box and ran away, not even taking the scooter.
After finding a shared bicycle, he dashed forward home.
Half an hour later, Austin finally arrived at Rose Broome, sweating profusely.
"Knock. Knock!"
Beth opened the door and threw out a set of clothes. She shouted, "Change your clothes outside before coming in. You smell stinky!"
After Austin changed his clothes, he walked in front of Eliza Gabbe earnestly with the gift box.
"Honey, I know today is your birthday. This is a gift for you."
The next moment the gift box was knocked to the ground by Beth's slap.
She roared, "So you know today is my daughter's birthday! We wait for you the h*ll all night."
Austin said with a bitter expression, "Please don't be angry. My scooter was impounded by the police. I could only ride home."
Beth sneered, "Austin, you'd better find a more reliable reason, okay? You don't care about Eliza at all. I don't think your marriage is a good thing."
"You may go through the divorce procedures tomorrow morning!"
Austin trembled all over. "Divorce? Why? Am I not good enough for Eliza?"
"Good enough?" Beth sneered, "This is the funniest thing I've ever heard."
"Think about it. How long has it been since my daughter has shopped for clothes? How long has it been since our family ate outside? And how long have you been living in my house?"
Beth cursed, "You shameless b*stard. How could you say you're good enough?"
Austin was wretched and he got furious at Beth's words.
"Don't you know why I'm in this mess? If I hadn't sold the car and the house and earned money desperately, she would have died!"
"Every penny I earned was spent on Eliza. But you? Did you pay a penny for her disease?"
"Since she recovered and I became poor, you forced me to divorce her. Who's the shameless one?"
Austin looked at Eliza who had been silent all this time. He asked, "Eliza, you also want to divorce?"
Eliza's face was frosty, and her words were like sharp knives stabbing his heart. "Austin, I'm done with our life now."
"My colleagues have BMW and Benz to pick them up, but I can only cram on the bus and endure harassment. They buy clothes and bags whatever they like, but I can't even afford a steak."
"Life is short. I want a delicate life. And I want to wear brands to travel around the world, not to live a poor life with you."
"Austin, let's get a divorce. It's the best ending for us."
"Hahaha!" Austin laughed loudly, "What the best ending."
"Don't forget I saved you. I risked my life to rescue you from death."
He picked up the gift box on the ground and handed it to Eliza. "This is a birthday present I prepared for you. As long as you open it, you will have everything you want."
Eliza's face was cold. "Stop coaxing me with these tricks. I am no longer the little girl who always smiles when given candy."
Austin held the last hope and said, "Open it. As long as you take a look, I promise you will never want to leave me again."
"Austin, enough!"
Eliza violently slapped the gift box away, which also took away Austin's last patience.
"Very well. This is your last attitude!" Austin was extremely sad before finally calming down.
"Eliza, you are not the girl who was willing to share weal and woe with me anymore. You've completely changed."
"I wanted to surprise you on your birthday, giving you wealth for the rest of your life. But you rejected me."
Austin picked up the gift box again.
"As long as you open this box, all the luxury life you want can be realized. But now it doesn't belong to you anymore. You don't deserve it!"
Beth rushed over and pushed him out of the door. "What nonsense are you talking about? Get the h*ll out of here. You have to divorce tomorrow!"
Then the door was slammed shut.
Outside the door, Austin took out a platinum card from the gift box with a big "Gabbe" character inlaid with diamonds on it.
Only the major shareholders of Blosso Technology Group were eligible to own this card, which was never issued to the outside. And Austin was its third largest shareholder.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Austin immediately activated the card and received a multimedia message on his mobile phone. The text said, "Mr. Gabbe, congratulations! The Centurion Card was activated. Your account balance is $2,000,000. The locked balance is $400,000,000, and it will be automatically unlocked per week."
Five years ago, Austin's mother was dead. He was forced to flee the family from Hamston. His younger sister Maggie Gabbe secretly gave him one million. He used all the money to buy 10% of the original shares of Blosso Technology Group, and the lock-up period should be at least five years.
To avoid his stepmother's murder, he hid his name and began to accumulate strength, waiting for the opportunity to rise up.
In the past five years, Blosso Technology Group has developed into a large group, transforming Austin from a delivery man to a billionaire with a net worth of 400 billion.
Austin held the card and said with self-deprecation, "What a f*cking good time to unlock the share. If you unlocked one day earlier, I wouldn't be divorced."
"Eliza, you're a vain creature. You will have to pay the price for your ignorance someday."
Austin had just walked downstairs when the phone rang.
A lovely voice came into his ear. "Austin, guess where I am."
