William returned to his hotel room and no longer cared about being monitored. He slept well.
The next morning, before getting up, William received a call from Anthony's lawyer.
William answered the phone in a daze: "Hello"
"Hello, William, I'm sorry to call you so early, but I think you should read today's Sun. Call me when you've read it and decided what to do."
William hung up Anthony's call, called the front desk from the hotel landline and asked them to send a copy of today's Sun newspaper to his room.
"Ding Dong" William heard the doorbell just after he finished brushing his teeth. He rinsed his mouth and wiped it with a towel, then opened the door and took the newspaper brought by the hotel waiter.
The waitress looked at William and then at the newspaper in his hand. Her eyes immediately became hot. She flirted with William and asked him, "Sir, this is today's Sun.
William took the newspaper and glanced at the waitress, who was quite pretty. He smiled at her as a greeting.
When the waiter saw William smiling at her, she winked at him and said, "Sir, do you need anything else? Our hotel can satisfy any need you have, any need, sir."
William saw his portrait on the front page of The Sun in the newspaper in his hand, and immediately lost interest in looking at the beautiful waitress. He looked at the newspaper in his hand and said to the waitress: "No, I will call the front desk if I need you. Thank you."
After saying that, he took out a 10-pound tip and handed it to the waiter, then turned around and closed the door.
Seeing that William had no time to pay attention to her, the waitress left with some disappointment. She had just read the headline of today's Sun on the way to deliver the newspaper. The young man in the newspaper was the same young man just now. He was a billionaire, a young and handsome billionaire. If something could happen between her and him, she would be rich.
She had hinted that she hoped something would happen, but unfortunately William was not interested in her.
William sat on the sofa in the room and looked at the large half-length photo of himself on the headline of the Sun today. He felt terrible.
After reading Ninja Anger, William now just wanted to kill the paparazzi from yesterday. Damn, how did these paparazzi know what he said in the conference room yesterday? It was as if the paparazzi was taking notes in the conference room at that time.
Not only do they know his name and school, they even know his family situation. Should I say that the English paparazzi are worthy of being the ancestor of paparazzi or should I say that The Sun is omnipotent?
Looking at the photo of his mother, Lina Devonshire, in the middle of the headline, William became a little worried about his mother and took out his cell phone to call her.
The phone was connected after a few rings.
"Hello, William," Lina's voice came from the phone.
"Hey, good morning, Mom,"
"Is there anything wrong, William? I still have to go to work. If you are free, I will call you back at noon."
William heard the sound of Lina closing the car door.
Hearing his mother go to work so early, William was a little dissatisfied and said: "Mom, didn't we discuss it last time and reach an agreement? You don't have to work so hard anymore, Mom.
I can make money now, you don't have to be like before."
"Yes, yes, baby, Mommy didn't break our promise. Haha, I wanted to give you a surprise, but now it seems I can only tell you first.
The day before yesterday, I used the 1 million pounds you gave me to buy a coffee shop on Oxford Street. Honey, Mommy wants to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when Mommy's dream of becoming a coffee shop owner would come true. Now I want to live in a coffee shop every day, haha." Lina laughed happily.
William was happy for Lina when he heard that she had bought a cafe on Oxford Street, "Then you don't have to go to the cafe so early."
Lina giggled and said, "I just want to see my cafe. I feel uncomfortable if I can't see it. It's okay, baby, mommy will take good care of herself."
"Okay, Mom, as long as you like it,"
He didn't have 1 million pounds at the beginning, but later he was able to get 20% of the sales from the peripheral contract he signed with Jiarefu, which was sales, not net profit.
He got 1.29 million pounds from the 6.45 million pounds worth of peripheral products. After getting the money, William gave his mother Lina 1 million pounds to let her buy something she liked, and specifically told her that she could ask him for more if it was not enough. William gave Lina the money so that she would have money in her hands so that she would not be panicked and would feel more relaxed. Unexpectedly, Lina directly bought a cafe.
But remembering the reason for the call, William said to Lina carefully:
"Mom, I have something good to tell you. You are not driving the car now, are you?"
Lina asked doubtfully: "Tell me, did I do something wrong? I was just sitting in the car, not driving."
"No, Mom, I haven't done anything bad. I just want you to take a look at today's Sun. There are some reports about me in it. I don't know how to tell you, you will know when you read the newspaper," William said carefully.
Lina asked in surprise: "Oh my God, The Sun? William, you are not dating a celebrity and the paparazzi reported it to The Sun, but how is this possible? Tell me what happened. God, baby, you'd better not tell me she is pregnant. William, I am not ready to be a grandmother yet. William, you'd better pray that I am not angry after reading the newspaper, otherwise you will be in big trouble. I will definitely beat you into a pig's head."
When Lina heard her son asking her to buy the Sun, her first reaction was that her son had a female celebrity as his girlfriend. In her impression, the Sun was just a gossip newspaper.
"Oh, no, Mom, your imagination is really too big. It's not what you think. Anyway, Mom thinks you should go home after reading the newspaper. Don't go to the coffee shop today."
"Okay, I'm going to buy a copy of The Sun now. I want to see what amazing things you've done to deserve to be reported in The Sun."
William heard the dead tone on his phone, put down the phone, patted his forehead and waited for Lina to call back. William knew that Lina would call him immediately after seeing the newspaper.
William was right. Within ten minutes, Lina called. When he answered the phone, he heard a shrill scream.
"William, baby, tell me what the newspaper said is true, tell me quickly, it's all true, you will become a billionaire!" Lina shouted to William.

"Yes, Mom, if nothing unexpected happens, what the newspaper said is true." William put the phone back to his ear and said to Lina
William waited for a while but didn't hear Lina's voice, but heard Lina crying.
"Mom, what's wrong with you, Mom?" William asked anxiously
"I'm fine, I'm fine, William. I'm happy. William, I think of your grandparents. If they were still alive, they would be very happy to know that you could become a billionaire. It's a pity that they didn't wait until you became a billionaire and went to heaven with a heart full of regrets," Lina said sobbingly.
"Mom, my grandparents in heaven will be happy for me. Don't cry, mom. Are you home now? I'll go back to see you," William comforted her.
"Yes, I'm at home. William, when you come back, I have something to say to you. I'll be waiting for you at home, baby," Lina said
"Okay, Mom, I'll be back soon, wait for me." After finishing the call, William called the front desk and asked for hotel service.
Sitting in the car provided by the hotel, William was a little worried about his mother Lina's condition, and kept urging the driver to go faster. His home was not far from Oxford Street. It was a small two-story stone house left by his grandfather. The first floor was more than 80 square meters, with a living room, kitchen and bathroom. The second floor had three rooms and a balcony of more than ten square meters. In his memory, William liked to stay on the balcony the most. Now William lives in the school and except for Lina's room, the other two rooms are rented out for short-term rent, which can be rented for 1,200 pounds a month.
When he got home and saw Lina sitting in the living room on the first floor waiting for him, William hurried forward and hugged his mother.
Lina excitedly hugged William for a long time.
Seeing his mother so excited, William had to distract her: "Mom, don't you have something to tell me?"
"Yes, yes William, Mommy has something to tell you," Lina pulled William to sit on the sofa
"William, Mom never thought you could become a millionaire, so there are some things Mom feels I have to tell you. William, do you still remember the castle in Oxford that your grandparents and Mom often took you to when you were a child?"
William thought about it and found the memory of the ancient castle. It was an ancient castle a few kilometers away from Oxford University. He had no idea how big it was.
"Remember, Mom is not far from Oxford University?"
"Yes, William, that's it. Mom is telling you now that it used to be the Devonshire family castle. Unfortunately, after World War II, Henry couldn't pay the inheritance tax, so it was auctioned off. Your grandfather's greatest wish in his life was to buy back the castle and manor, but unfortunately he didn't live to see that day. Mom asks you to buy it when the time is right and change the name of the castle back to Devonshire Castle. This is your grandparents' greatest wish in their lives. Will you promise Mom?"
"Okay, Mom, if it's just this, I can promise you now, and I can even buy it and give it to you by the end of this year." William dared to make this promise. In a few months, the whole world will fall into economic recession. In a year, the house prices in England will plummet by 50%. Now the castles in England are not worth much. There are too many abandoned castles in England, and Oxford is not in London, so the castles are not that expensive.
The castle in William's memory was quite large, surrounded by woods, grasslands, small lakes and a river, but it seemed that no one lived in the castle. William felt that the castle was eerie when he was a child, but since his mother cared so much about the castle, the worst that could happen was that he would buy it and spend money to renovate it.
