MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 60 refused fortune

"Okay, Lillian. Dad will be right there! Don’t worry, I’ll be there in ten minutes at most."

I nodded; this girl still had a conscience: she even thought of me at this critical moment.

After that, the call was not hung up. Lillian kept talking to her father and telling him about the rescue process.

About ten minutes later, I stood on the second floor, waving to them, yelling, "We’re here!"

A group of people rushed up. I also breathed a sigh of relief, finally relaxing my tense nerves.

A tall man in his fifties hurried over. "Good girl, you scared me."

"Dad!"

Lillian saw her father, threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest, and then burst into tears. "I thought I’d never see you again."

"Come, let me see if you’re hurt."

"Dad, I’m fine, but William is injured."

Lillian wiped her tears and pointed at me. "Quick, help him check!"

Gary said, "Quick, quickly treat this gentleman. He’s a great benefactor of the Michaelson Family."

The nurse cut open the suit, and it hurt so much that I gritted my teeth. However, with so many people watching, I could only endure.

Many people gasped at the exposed flesh.

A young man who bore a striking resemblance to Gary said, "Quickly bandage his wound."

The doctor said, "The wound is quite deep. It must be treated at the hospital and given a tetanus shot!"

"Well, what are you waiting for? Hurry to the hospital."

I nodded at him. Because I was bleeding heavily, I was feeling a bit dizzy, and at this point, I couldn’t think too much.

I followed the ambulance to the hospital, where they bandaged the wound, administered a tetanus shot, and then, somehow, I drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark!

"Water, please," I croaked, my throat parched and head throbbing.

"William, you’re awake?"

A pleasant voice sounded.

I looked up and saw Lillian!

"You’ve been here all this time?"

"Let’s not talk for now. I’ll feed you water."

She held a cup of water and carefully fed me.

After drinking the water, I felt much better. Lillian said, "You had a high fever in the afternoon, and it just subsided. You almost scared me to death." So that was why I felt so dizzy.

It must be a bodily reaction caused by excessive bleeding.

"How long was I out?" I inquired.

"Six hours!" Lillian said.

"Thank you for taking care of me." I expressed my gratitude.

"No problem at all. I’m not even tired," she reassured me with a smile before making a call to her father.

After hanging up the phone, I asked her, "What about those two people?"

"They’ve been arrested. The police might ask you for a statement tomorrow."

I nodded, then asked, "Where’s my phone?"

"Here you go!"

She quickly handed me the phone that had been placed aside. I checked the missed calls. Melody had called several times. Grace and Paul had also called, and so did Jessica. What surprised me most was that Tatiana had actually called me.

Not only that, but there were also friend requests from Linda.

Damn, Linda added me first?

I thought to myself, maybe it was better not to accept it for now. Then came a message from Mary. [I’ve already informed Skylight’s side. If you’re not there, the contract will be terminated. My brother also said he would help you!]

Seeing her message warmed my heart.

Next was a message from George, which was similar to Mary’s.

These two people would definitely need a reply.

After that, Gary walked in and checked up on me. "You holding up, William?"

"Fit as a fiddle," I assured him.

The young man behind him was carrying a bunch of supplements.

"William, the doctor said you’ve lost a lot of blood. These are supplements to replenish your blood and energy. Please take these gifts: it’s good for your health."

"Thanks a bunch. But really, no need for all this." I declined politely.

"William, let me introduce you. This is my father, as you already know, and this is my older brother, Frank Michaelson!"

"William, thank you for saving my sister. I don’t know how to thank you enough because no words can express my gratitude! If you ever need help in the future, feel free to ask!" Frank said to me.

"Mr. Michaelson, you’re too kind. I just did what I had to do," I replied.

"William, I only have one daughter. She’s my everything. Words can’t express my gratitude, but here’s a hundred million dollars. I hope you’ll accept it."

What?

A hundred million check?

My head spun, and for a moment, I was at a loss, staring at that check.

Honestly, I was tempted.

It was a hundred million, after all.

How many deals would I need to make to earn this much money?

If Skylight paid me the regular commission for Edward’s deals, I would need to do over a hundred deals.

This was a figure that ninety-nine percent of the world couldn’t earn. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

It felt like a tug-of-war in my mind.

One urged me to take the check so I could become a millionaire, never have to live an exploited life again, and be on equal footing with Edward and the others.

The other opposed, saying that accepting the check would be greedy. A hundred million was too much, not just a few tens or hundreds of thousands.

In the end, I had an answer. With a wry smile, I said, "Thanks for the offer. Even though I’d never see that kinda dough in my lifetime, I just can’t take it."

Frank exclaimed, "William, this is a hundred million!"

"I know, if you were offering me tens or hundreds of thousands, I would accept, but a hundred million is too much, and I don’t want this act of kindness to be tainted. Even though I know I’ll regret it, I won’t feel ashamed when I look back!"

Gary said, "The kidnappers asked for a billion from me. If it weren’t for you, I would have not only lost a billion but also my daughter. So, please accept this hundred million from me."

"Mr. Michaelson, I envy rich people like you sometimes, but at other times, I resent it. In your eyes, everything can be solved with money, but this time, I just don’t want to use money to solve it."

"This money could make me a rich man, but I prefer to become wealthy through my own efforts! It might sound foolish, but that’s my answer," I said firmly, while holding back the blood I was about to vomit because of my stupidity.

"Foolish? No!"

Gary’s expression softened. "William, you’re a real sage, with a heart of gold.

I admire you."
