It was late afternoon by the time Tom collected all the results of his inspections. He brought all the necessary files with him as he thanked Arthur at the scheduled meeting with the general managers of each field. "After going through each of your work, there are a few things I must emphasise. Although this has not yet received approval from the chairman in question. From now on, let's improve our performance. Especially regarding the important projects that will be carried out. Regarding the selected team, I will most likely reshuffle it myself for the sake of the common good. Eventually, I will report the results to the chairman and make a written report for you to understand. Thank you." Tom was about to leave his seat when one of the general managers raised his hand. "Please speak." "What is this inspection for, sir? You don't even inspect every project in progress. Nor are you collecting our eq

"I apologise for today's incident, Ms Reynolds. I didn't expect this little fuss to happen while you were preparing for the engagement ceremony the day after tomorrow."   Shannon shook her head softly. Her eyes were still darting around to the few visitors who had been whispering as they passed by. "I'm sure Arthur isn't that petty. He's a good person. And you shouldn't accuse him without proof."   Tom turned his head and smiled in confirmation. "Yes, you're right. A brother shouldn't do crazy things just to get rid of another brother for an inheritance."   Shannon glanced at Tom quickly. She looked at Tom, who was looking for the famous boutique as promised. "What do you mean by that?"   "Gotcha! There's the boutique. Lemme take you there."   Tom's polite behaviour actually made Shannon smile kindly after the thrilling action earlier. He entered the famous boutique with various

“So, I’ll most likely be dismissed?” asked Arthur in a trembling voice. His hands were clenched into fists, while his teeth were chattering with anger. James turned round and looked at Arthur after letting out a long sigh. “Aren’t you trying to think things through? Is it appropriate for a director to do such a horrible thing in a public place, Arthur?” Arthur’s left hand tried to control his clenched right hand. He looked down languidly, as if he was regretting his actions. “It wasn’t my fault, dad. Tom did everything to set me up. He put me in the worst potential situation. Don’t you ever think about it? Ever since he came, all the good things I had planned have been completely ruined! He’s bad luck, dad!” “Enough, Arthur!” Arthur got up quickly. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, trying not to be rude in f

"Stop this, kiddos. Let's have lunch before you embark on a more colourful life. Arthur with his engagement, and Tom with his efforts to return JF Groups to the Fischer bloodline." James's warning made both Tom and Arthur pause. Both of them ate a hearty lunch immediately. A sight that no one had ever imagined before.  Noticing something strange about Arthur's suddenly warm demeanour, Tom began to act wary. He suddenly remembered something to question. "Tell me, dad. How did it start when your condition worsened back then? Did you eat or drink anything?" Instead of hearing an answer from James, Tom heard a loud cough from Arthur. He smiled softly before handing Arthur a glass of water across the table. "Are you choking? There's no need to rush, Arthur. Just pick. No one will tell you to hurry at the dinner table." Arthur downed the mineral water Tom hand

Arthur had just woken up after being unconscious for two hours. Instead of looking for someone who might worry about him, he laughed when remembered all too well how death had taken Tom back to the hell. Slowly, Arthur got up and moved. In the luxurious room, he tried to find his phone. Or at least a newspaper. Unfortunately, he found nothing there. “Shit! Where’s my phone? Why isn’t Pete here? What’s going on? I forgot Pete would probably be busy with Tom’s death, which I never thought could happen this quickly.” Arthur returned to the bed. This time, he searched for the remote to switch on the television to keep up to date with things. Especially about the state of his home, which might be in mourning. But what was Arthur’s surprise when suddenly the door to his treatment room was opened with quite a bang? Arthur almost cursed if he didn’t see who was coming to visit him,
