"Mr. Reese, we did everything we could to save your son's leg, but his femur, tibia, patella, fibula, and tarsal bones were shattered beyond repair. We were able to minimize the pain from his broken legs, but that's all we were able to do. Unfortunately, he'll have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life," the doctor announced in the quiet hospital ward belonging to Hermes Reese.The room was filled to the brim with every member of the Reese family. Most of them began whispering amongst themselves in hushed voices while some sneered in secret and others became agitated and began laying curses on Ethan Black.The most agitated of them was Kira Melville, but not because of the condition her son was in."What does that mean? What will now happen to the Reese family if Hermes is confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life? Does that mean Jethro will take over the family's assets?" She turned to the middle-aged man standing beside Hermes' bed and questioned worriedly.Killian

Chloe frowned upon hearing him. "Excuse me?" Matt's face stretched further into a lustful, wide smile. "Come on, Ms. William. I heard you're married to a loser. He abandoned you days after your marriage and wasn't there for you when you needed him the most. For the past six years, you've been alone. You even raised your daughter alone, enduring mockery because of what your loser husband did to you. I'm offering you an opportunity to turn your pitiful life around and give your daughter all the luxuries life has to offer." "Mr. Peterson, I am a married woman. Even if everything you've said is true, I am still a married woman with a daughter. Please, never speak to me about this matter ever again!" Chloe warned sternly, struggling to detach her hand from his.However, Matt continued holding onto it tightly. "Don't be like that, Chloe. We're not children anymore. Married or not, there are sacrifices we all have to make once in a while. Besides, I don't see you wearing a wedding ring.

When Ethan finished with the Reese family, he got into his car and drove straight to Astoria Corporation with Kane."Who's that? He's handsome.""They both are.""Yes, they are. But the other one looks more manly, handsome, and my type of men."Ethan and Kane alighted from the Koenigsegg Jesko in Astoria Corporation's vicinity to hear some girls giggling behind their backs.The girls were huddled together and whispering amongst themselves, but somehow, the boys standing opposite them and leaning on the back of a sportscar heard them.They glanced at the said 'handsome men' and scoffed in annoyance after analyzing what kind of people they were."The car isn't branded. What kind of person moves around in an unbranded car?" The first boy scoffed after spending more than five seconds looking at the Koenigsegg Jesko over."Most importantly, they look very ordinary. And they are driving around in an unbranded car, which I heard can be gotten with just a few dollar bills. My Lamborghini cost

Claire's eyes flickered as they snapped towards Paul's friends' direction."What did you say about my sister?" She swallowed aggressively and slipped her phone into her pocket, totally ignoring what the voice behind her said.The younger daughter of Scott William was known to be outrightly aggressive whenever she was offended, and she never let anyone go regardless of who they were.But her anger could be appeased with an apology. However, whenever a snide remark was made about her sister, she would never let it go.The boy who had made the remark was a petite boy with brown hair. He scoffed, stepped forward, and clicked his tongue in a haughty manner while maintaining eye contact with her."I said your sister is a slut. Six years ago, she was envied by everyone in Springdale and took the William family forward by signing contracts with corporations way higher than the William family. No one said anything back then because they were afraid of offending your family, but they all knew s

The security men, rushing to beat up Ethan, were the first to recognize the man in an impeccably pressed three-piece suit. He looked to be in his early forties and had a dignified air around him."Mr. Haworth, you're here. I apologize for letting you see something like this. Please give me a few minutes to take care of these eyesores!" The security man who had shoved the assistant aside scurried up to Josiah Haworth and apologized with his face turned towards the ground."Yes, Mr. Haworth. We just encountered a brief problem with these troublemakers, and we were just about to resolve it before you came." Another security man hurriedly seconded, and soon, everyone was nodding their heads in agreement.Hearing it was just some troublemakers, Josiah immediately lost interest. And here he thought Mr. Black was already here."Hurry up and take care of it then. I'll be having a very important guest in a few minutes. I wouldn't want him to meet such an unsightly scene." He hummed leisurely,

Lona was stunned for a moment by his words, before she quickly retorted."What? The Jespersen family is a second tier family in Springdale. We may not have the support of the Wellington or head a big corporation like Astoria Corporation, but we do we're well known in the real estate business." "The Jespersen family? Real estate business? Still doesn't ring a bell." Josiah didn't bother thinking too hard on the referenced family and brushed her aside. He shifted his attention to Claire who was looking at him expectantly and his heart raced again. "Y-you're Mr. Black's sister-in-law?" Seeing how he has treated a big family like the Jespersen family, Claire immediately became worried knowing he'd take it out with the William family for their son-in-law causing a scene in his company. So she hurried to Ethan's side and tried to drag him to Josiah. "Apologize to Chairman Haworth for the disrespectful way you spoke to him! right now!" She yelled at him as soon as they were standing bef

Before the elderly man could say anything, the security men kneeling on the floor beat him to it."Chairman Haworth, please believe me when I say I didn't know he was your guest. If I had known, I would've taken good care of him. Those insolent kids earlier threatened us with making our lives miserable if we didn't drag him out of the vicinity. We were just following orders!" One of them pleaded in a loud voice and began hitting his forehead on the floor to show his sincerity."He didn't look like someone who should be in Astoria Corporation, so we fell for their lies that he is a loser. It was really not our intention to treat your guest this way!" Another pleaded, trying to pin all the blame on Ramsey and his friends."You tried to treat him this way because of how he was dressed? You, a mere security man, tried to drive out the..."Before he could complete his sentence with 'owner of Astoria Corporation from his company,' Ethan placed a hand on his neck and cleared his throat.This

Ethan picked up Honey from school as soon as he left Astoria Corporation and drove back to the house.."Thank God for Chairman Haworth showing up because I wouldn't have stopped you from beating up that bastard, Ramsey Jespersen. How dare him call my sister a slut? Ugh!" Claire murmured underneath her breath as she played with Honey's hair. She was silent for a moment before she briefly glanced up at Ethan. "That's true. What did you go to Astoria Corporation for?" Claire asked Ethan as she played with Honey's hair."I wanted to check them out." Ethan had never been a good liar, so he just said the first thing that came to mind."You wanted to check it out? Why?" Claire asked and looked up at him.Ethan kept his eyes on the road as he struggled to come up with something believable."Did you go to find a job? Chloe told me all about how that schoolmate of hers embarrassed you in the restaurant the other day. That must be why you want to start working. A working class brother-in-law?

"How dare you bring your scrap here when Grandpa sent you a limousine? Chloe, are you that determined to tarnish this family's image?" Lewis William hollered furiously as soon as he saw Chloe and Ethan get out of the Koenigsegg Jesko.Lewis was putting on an expensive suit and stood outside the house with both hands stylishly in his pockets.When he spoke to Claire, he removed a hand from his pocket and pointed it at her."How is it your business what I choose to come in?" Chloe walked past him without a glance."We may be struggling to maintain our position as a third-tier family, but we can afford a decent sports car!" Lewis yelled after her.He clenched his fist tightly seeing she didn't turn until she disappeared behind the tempered glass door."That bitch! What right does she have to act all high and mighty with me when I'm the William family heir and she was just a janitor at the company just a few days ago? Seems she has forgotten who's the one Grandpa has high hopes for. Damn

Chapter 50
"This loser stormed the Reese family house and beat up Hermes Reese, and you're still politely asking us to hand him over to be punished? You're too kind, Mr. Reese! Someone as foolish as him needs to have what he did to Jethro and Hermes Reese done back to him in tenfold!"Just like Ethan thought, Lewis William believed this was the perfect opportunity to get closer to the Reese family. So he immediately left Adams' side and strolled across the room to where Ethan and Chloe were seated."Chloe William, are you that determined to agitate Grandfather? Haven't you done enough to harm the William family? If you really have the William family's well-being at heart, then you should divorce the loser beside you right here and now!""Thanks to you and your loser husband, the Kendrick family cut off all ties with us. If we don't secure this contract with the Reese family, the company Grandmother dedicated her entire life to building up will cease to exist! Do you really want that to happen?"
