Chapter 3 - The Billionaire Prodigy
For eighteen years, Vincent and Sophia lived a lavish, hedonistic lifestyle on Claire’s stolen inheritance. But toxic, arrogant criminals are terrible at managing wealth.
Over the years, they blew through the millions, funding failed business ventures and developing expensive, dangerous habits. When the money completely dried up, Vincent turned to illegal underground gambling, racking up massive debts and earning the dark tattoos on his neck and hands.
So why was he standing in the grand university auditorium today?
Because Noah wasn't just a normal high school graduate. The heavy gold medal resting on Noah's chest wasn't a standard academic award. It was the absolute highest honor given by the university to the youngest valedictorian in its history. Noah was an eighteen-year-old certified tech prodigy.
Just two weeks ago, the national news had plastered Noah's face across every television screen in America. The brilliant teenager had just legally sold his first revolutionary artificial intelligence patent to a massive tech conglomerate for a staggering fifty million dollars.
Vincent, drowning in lethal syndicate debt and desperate for a lifeline, saw the broadcast. He realized the son he had violently abandoned was now a multi-millionaire.
