Chapter 356: She's Mrs. Quilton

"This is the Ares World Tower, the world's tallest building." Standing in front of the building that seemed like it was touching the sky, Silver informed the family of three who seemed amazed just like other tourists.

Passing through the entrance, he further said, "This is the only structure in the world that crosses 1 kilometer in height, although we can only go up to the fifth observation deck at 880 meters, which is on the 178th floor. You can have a 360-degree view up there."

"There are too many skyscrapers exist in this city. Will I able to see big brother's office building?" Mia asked him while glancing around. Left and right, there is nothing but tall skyscrapers everywhere.

"Of course, Mia. Scarlet HQ is the third tallest building in this city and is over 600 meters in height. Didn't you see it while we are on the flyover, earlier?" Scarlet casually commented while taking the tickets from the machine. "Come, let's go…"

Earlier, she did search on the internet but never paid attention to how big the company building is. She searched the internet once again, but this time, she searched the tallest buildings in the world and Scarlet HQ was shown in 9th place.

Mia couldn't help but feel amazed once again as she read the cost of the building was 1.7 billion dollars back when its construction was completed in 1999.

She long knew that Scarlet group is indeed huge but every time, she comes across a thing that tells the difference between their family and Wil, Mia couldn't help but feel disheartened thinking that it's very difficult for her brother to adjust to their lifestyles and same goes for her too.

Even though Mia felt excited to travel in a private jet, live in luxury hotels, tour around in limousine for the past few days, she realized that she wouldn't be able to live in the world of rich if her brother ever wanted them to live with him. Just the thought made her uncomfortable.

As they reached the fourth observation deck, which is the highest outdoor observation at 700 meters above the ground, Mia put all her thoughts away and decided to enjoy the present.

While the family of three was busy enjoying the tour, Wil was busy reading the financial records in his office. He no longer paid attention to the matter with Texel and focused on the company's internal matters.

"Hmm, it looked like Mortgage company is suffering losses for the past seven years, and so far, I suffered more than 500 million. No need for this company to exist any longer. I don't care even if it's a billion-dollar company. I'm closing it down for sure." Wil commented to himself before putting it away and opened another file.

"Life Insurance doesn't seem to generate enough profits either. It has 350 branches with 62 of them in cities and 288 are in towns. However, a mere 1.8 billion Eastern Yuan of net worth? It's roughly 900 million dollars…"

Probably, Wil might be one of the few people in the world who would think 900 million dollars of net worth isn't profitable.

Wil wondered why does their net income is only 125 million dollars when their revenue stands at more than 200 million dollars.

Upon checking further, he found that none of the offices that were built on the land belonged to the company. Every one of them was rented.

The cost of renting the offices alone is more than 30 million dollars. Not to mention, the salaries…

At first, Wil thought of closing down this one too. However, he realized an issue. "The only problem is that there are thousands of employees working here. Their livelihood also depends on the job. Moreover, the company doesn't seem to be running on losses either."

Suddenly something clicked in his mind and Wil slapped his forehead, "what an idiot. Why should I close them down? Can't I just put the companies to a sale? Should I call for an auction? Or should I separate them from the parent company and make them go public. Hmm…" Wil fell into deep thoughts.

***

As the sky slowly became dark, the Miyazaki family are done with their preparations and waiting for their in-laws.

Meanwhile, Wil, who returned to the hotel around 4, was taking a nap in his room upon feeling tired.

*Ring* *Ring*

After three to four rings, Wil woke up from his sleep and found it was Mia who was calling him. At the same time, he realized it was almost 7. 'F**k… I forgot about the dinner.'

He quickly picked it up and informed her that he will be in the lobby in ten minutes.

In the meantime, Silver visited his room to hand over the dress his mother selected for him while they were shopping.

Wil was surprised to find the dress fit him perfectly and appeared to be in the line of his taste. However, he found two issues. The first issue is that he found the suit is too formal. And he wasn't going for some social gathering event. 

The second issue, which is the most important one, is that his mother was the one that selected it, which made him decide not to wear it and choose casual wear instead, before leaving the room.

As expected, they were surprised to see Wil in different clothing and that too, in casual wear while they look like they were going to some award ceremony.

Looking at Mia, Wil couldn't help but remember his past life, which is five years in the future, where she's been depicted as a princess in one of 'Saturday' idol group's mv. After that, Mia got the nickname of Hailey's princess.

Meanwhile, Silver asked him in Scarlet's place regarding his attire, to which he replied that he liked being simple as this isn't some formal event.

While Scarlet was disappointed a bit, Rey and Mia, on the other hand, felt embarrassed upon hearing Wil. They weren't kids and both of them are conscious of the gap between their social standings. So, when a super-rich person like Wil is acting like this, how can they not get embarrassed?

An awkward silence emerged between them for a while before Silver hurried everyone to get into the vehicle telling them how they were getting late.

Thankfully, due to less traffic, they were able to reach the destination in just 15 minutes. So, they weren't late.

"Welcome, Mr. Ravens. Welcome, Mr. Silver" Kiyumi is the first one to pick them as always before she turned her attention to the three other family members that just get out of the vehicle.

Upon one glance at Scarlet, she was a little bit stunned. She found Wil's supposed mom too young. After all, their Galaxy Net doesn't have any information on her.

"Is she a stepmother?" Kiyumi wondered before she greeted them with a smile, "Welcome, Ms. Ravens…"

"Quilton." Wil suddenly interrupted her.

"Sorry?" Kiyumi looked at him.

"She's Mrs. Quilton." Wil shrugged his shoulders. "Just correcting it."

While Mia and Rey found anything amiss, Scarlet felt a bit sad upon remembering Wil always addresses as Mrs. Quilton and still hasn't called her mom, yet.
