Travis arrived at the VIP wing on the nineteen floor and walked toward the door which had the number two on it. As he opened it, he saw his wife attending to his sleeping daughter.Even his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were in the room.Everyone's gaze fell on him and it was obvious they had something to say to him. He entered inside and closed the door before shoving his hand in his pocket.His eyes fell on his daughter and he asked, "Has she been sleeping?"Joanna shook her head while looking at him with a burning gaze. "She was awake for some time. Asked for you countless times but her well-loved father whom she looked up to was nowhere around her."Travis sighed and defended himself by saying, "I made sure she was comfortable before I left. Besides, I went to meet a friend for you."Joanna scoffed and walked up to him. She sniffed and a bitter chuckle escaped her. "So you drank with that friend when your daughter is here sick?!""You wouldn't understand…"Joanna interrupted him

Joanna and Travis finally arrived at Oak villa.Joanna tried very hard to suppress her curiosity as she followed Travis and entered the villa. At first glance, the villa was a few times superior to what her family owned with a bigger area and more luxurious furnishing. There was even an indoor swimming pool. Wow!She was astonished by everything. More amazed by the fact that Travis, her husband, had such a connection. Then she saw a man, a woman, and a younger man standing there with smiles on their faces like they were giving them some kind of ovation.As they got to them, Mr. Pattinson walked toward Travis with a broad smile. "Wow, is this you, Travis?! Look at you all grown up!"Travis just gave him a smile."I heard the news about …""We should talk privately on that matter." Travis interrupted him since he knew what he was about to say.Mr. Pattinson nodded with a smile. "Of course. Let's take a seat outdoors here and let's discuss business.""Do any of you want anything? Beer?"

As Travis and Joanna left the Oak villa, Joanna was still in shock that Travis had connections to such wealthy and influential people.Joanna asked as she couldn't stop herself, "Travis, I can't believe you're friends with the Pattinsons. I had no idea that you had these kinds of connections. Why didn't you ever tell me before?"Travis looked at her with a small smile, "I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. And honestly, it doesn't matter to me who someone is or how much money they have."Joanna was conflicted. On one hand, she was amazed by Travis's connections and the opportunities they could bring. But on the other hand, she still harbored resentment towards him for not being wealthy himself.Joanna huffed. "I still can't believe you never told me. And I can't stand the fact that I married someone who isn't as successful as me. My family is never going to accept you when I succeed in going back."Travis sighed knowing she was right. "I know I can't change the past or my life

Madame Emma frowned and interrogated, "James, Alison, have you apologized like I told you to and reinstated the family?"Alison nodded and said, "We did. Daddy and I had apologized sincerely and even almost kneeled before them, but they're been so arrogant! They refused to let us off the hook!"Madame Emma looked at Joanna and then at Travis. She placed her hand on her forehead exhaustedly, wondering what was wrong with her son and his daughter.Do they not care about the family's problems and status? And here, once again, Alison was lying just like she lied in the past about Joanna and now she expects her to believe? Even in the past, she knew Alison and her father were lying, she wanted Alice and her daughters out of her house because she never approved of Alice to the family.Well, like father, like daughter, right?She looked at James and –SLAP!James was shocked as his mother's hand landed on his face."Bastard!" She screamed at him. "You're supposed to be the adult around here

Travis stood up and walked out of the room in shock and he asked quietly, "How the hell do you get my number?""I have my ways, Travis. Anyways, news went around like wildfire that you've signed the succession contract, is that right?" Bianca asked."And what's that to you?" Travis questioned."I thought you left and you're never coming back. You should have just stayed lost and stayed to your principles that you're never coming back or taking your inheritance. I thought that was the plan."Travis shrugged. "Well, plans have changed. I never even needed to sign a succession contract before I took what belongs to me. It was all mine from the beginning."The line was quiet for a while then Bianca sighed. "Wow, is that so? You're no longer angry at your father?! You should have just stayed angry instead of coming back and ruining everything. I thought you didn't want it." Travis hung the call up in anger, his teeth gritted and his fists tightened. He couldn't believe that the overall la
