Elaine played a video on her phone and showed it to them. “This is the CCTV recording of Dr. Frank and Jeremy speaking on the night Haze and Cassius were brought to this hospital.”“What’s so strange about that?” Haze inquired, trying to piece it together with Cassius’s mysterious death.“The fact that Dr. Frank hid this recording because it is important. Besides, I found that he had a legal lawsuit filed against him for malpractice. Apparently, it was a big case in this city as the victim was a former council. He had a stomach surgery, nothing near as life-threatening as it was said. But Dr. Frank was reckless and accused of being hungover when he did the surgery. He cut a major vein and the former council’s life couldn’t be saved.”Haze couldn’t fully understand it. “Can you speak my language?”The brunette sighed and said, “The first hearing was supposed to be held five

“If people look at us,” the woman in her casual business attire said, “They’d sure think we’re up to something.”“Yeah, not going to happen,” the younger man said, “Drug deals practically happened in a place like this. Even if it's in broad daylight.”“I must agree with Mr. Wilburn here,” the oldest among them nodded, “That’s why I have to keep an eye on my daughter when she wants to play here. And good job finding this place. ”“I happened to play here in my junior days, so I know the ‘golden spark’ you mention comes from the history of this land. It used to be an abandoned industrial site from the Gold Rush era, before a group of skateboarders revitalised it into this park. It was said that they found traces of gold dust embedded in the soil.”“True. They actually found real solid gold and sold them to build this park.”Ha

“What are we going to do now?” Maxine asked the moment she opened the door and leaned with her arms crossed against it. “We have no lead from the doctor.”Haze didn’t really want to discuss this. Not when Leonard’s ruthless way was fresh in his mind. Perhaps he sympathized too much with the doctor, but his rational mind thought that it was the least he could do. Even if the doctor now hated him with rage.He lost a wife for a completely unreasonable thing after all.The last few days, he spent the time learning everything Cassius knew. Elaine was a big help, and also a bigger jerk when it came to teaching him how to act like Cassius. It was as if she didn’t want him to imitate Cassius’s behavior, while at the same time didn’t want to fail her task from Leonard.He was in the middle of writing a speech, when the teen menace came. “Can we lay it off for now?”“Lay it off?”

“I am here to ask for your support, sir.” Henry Greyhouse declared.He had never been more exposed for his weakness in front of this many people before in his life. However, the pressure from his political rivals was too great that he had to resort in such a cowardly way.Munching on his tender steak, Jonathan acted as if he didn’t hear any of what Henry said. There was no reaction whatsoever. Not even a slight raise of his eyebrow, let alone a word of confirmation.But, after a tense silence, Jonathan sliced a small part of his steak and picked it with his fork. He brought his arm to the side, barely visible from Haze’s eyes.He offered it to Henry.As if he were a dog.Seeing all of that, Haze finally assured that all the abusive, bad DNA Leonard had came from his father all along.Though, it seemed that a scene like this was not a rare occurrence. Because no one, except for Benjamin and Henry, was shocked by

Jonathan was a shrewd man. He was cunning in his business, outsmarting anyone who ever dared to be his rival. For him, competition was nothing but an affirmation of him being better than anyone else.There was no wonder that he used said competition to make his children grow and be the better version of himself.However, instead of pitting them against his business rivals or their heirs, he made the competition an internal business.In the Fades family, there was no such thing as cooperativeness or working together to reach success. No. It was always a competition between his five children. An eternal sibling rivalry to achieve the world.For that very reason, he gave a different last name to each of his children. Greyhouse, Greenhive, Blackwood, Whitelock, and Scarlettson. Not one of his children had the same last name, not even to himself.Since their early days, he had always told them to be better than their siblings, making them see each other as rivals and enemies that could lea
