Edmund was too stunned and his brain couldn’t function properly for a while. He could only stare at Miles dumbly as his brain was processing very slowly.Edmund began recalling on everything he knew about Miles. He recalled that Miles had managed to get that $300,000 for his daughter’s treatment. He had told his wife that he didn’t get it as a loan from dangerous gang members. Was he telling the truth then? He realized with shock that Miles was properly the invisible hand raising his wife through the ranks in the company. However, it had to be made clear that Lola had earned every single success She had gotten so far. She only needed help with dealing with people like Edmund who were trying to bring her down through horrible means.Wind couldn’t believe it. This whole time, he had been offending a very powerful man.The head of security, on the other hand, quickly accepted this sudden truth. “Chairman Miles!” He had almost bowed down to Miles, shocking the three other men in the offic

Lola had never expected to find Edmund and the head of security guards kneeling outside the company building. “Mr. Porsche, what are you doing kneeling by the company’s entrance?” Edmund was deeply ashamed when he saw the way Lola was looking at him. “Lola, beg your husband. Look, I’m sorry for everything I did to you.”The former head of security guards tried to ask for Lola’s help but Wind quickly shut him up.Lola shook her head at the two. “I don’t know why you guys are being punished by kneeling here, but I have something to say.” She bravely looked at Edmund in the eyes. “Mr. Porsche, you are nothing but a worthless scum! How could you do that to me?! You were the one who forced that project contract upon me as a major task to pass my probation period. That was very unethical of you, and I should have reported you long ago. Yet, I kept quiet for the sake of peace. You have no idea what I went through to secure that contract with Eckre Empire Headquarters. Yet, you shamelessly t

“Dorian, I want you to book me an early flight to the capital tomorrow.” Miles suddenly turned to the butler with a commanding tone.Dorian was, of course, cut off guard. “Young Master Miles, you can’t do that. Your father strictly demanded that you remain as low-key as possible. If you go to the capital, you might come across whoever or whatever has sent the entire Creek family into hiding. Plus, if they catch you, they might use you to threaten your father, forcing him out of hiding.”Miles sighed. “Keep the booking on the hush-hush then. But Dorian, I have to visit my family’s home. I need to see how things are over there. I’ve been away from there for too long to not know now.”Miles had walked out of the Eckre Empire Headquarters building feeling a bit soulless. He currently had his mind riddled with so many thoughts. Even on his way home, he couldn’t get his mind off of his family, wondering if they were okay or not. The person he was most worried about was his father. Those yea

Miles got up very early the next morning and left the house after making sure he had prepared breakfast for the family. He also left a note and a recess age for Lola as the woman and her daughter were still sleeping when he left. Miles got to the airport with a slightly troubled heart. He soon boarded the plane and was on his way to the capital. On his way there, he couldn’t help but keep thinking about his family. Is his father okay? Should he go check on his father’s company once he arrives? Is everyone he left at home alive? What kind of threat could they possibly be facing that the family had to be dissuaded? How powerful is this supposed enemy of theirs? There was so much going through Miles’s head that he could feel an incoming headache. He decided to distract himself until he got to his destination. Once Miles arrived at the airport, he walked out of it to feel a heavy wave of nostalgia. This was the same airport he used when he left home, walking away from the life he was bo

“I was told that we came from old power, and that was where the family’s business empire came from as well.” Miles had a look of incredulity. “I never knew that our family was of the first-generational wealth.” He felt a wave of exhaustion hit him. “I never knew that my father went through so much all alone.” A wave of sudden realization sent Miles lurching in his seat. “Wait! Old man Philip, are you telling me that my father disbanded the family because his true family has found him?!”Old man Philip smiled sadly at Miles. “It is sadly the case.” He shook his head slightly. “Miles, don’t bother searching for your father. He probably went back to that family to protect you. He made sure to keep your identity a deep secret from them. Now that they’re after him, he will ensure that they never find you. Miles, your true family is very dangerous.”Miles was in awe of his father. “What is my current status?”Philip didn’t expect that Miles would suddenly ask such an insightful question. Ap
