Everyone turns around to see who the person with the roar of the lion is and their breath is taken.

A middle-aged man in a fancy suit walks up to them. His shoes are shining like they were scrubbed overnight by servants and his wristwatch is decorated with diamonds.

Even though no one seems to know who this stranger is, everyone knows that he is rich.

He takes off his glasses, looks at Angus and his mother, walks to Angus, and bows to him.

Angus looks around in shock, what's happening?! No one has ever bowed to him in his life! Not even a rat!

"Forgive me, young master, I should have been here earlier." He apologized.

Angus twists his neck around, looking for the camera that is videoing this prank, but there is none.

Who is this man and is he referring to Angus as "young master" when he is clearly richer than him?

The director sneers as he comes between Angus and the strange man, the mean look on his face has returned.

"So what is your plan?" He asks rudely. "You used your last money to get yourself an actor and you think that it's going to work on me?"

"I will have to ask you to watch the way you talk to Mister Knighton, or you will have to answer to me." The man warns.

The director calls bluff with a snort. He turns to the man and points at him. He's so close to his face, in such a caring manner.

"Go back to drama school!" He spits. "From what I see, you have to repeat a few more classes!"

The rich stranger is visibly annoyed and he doesn't waste time slapping the direction rich in his face.

The slap from the strange rich man sends the director crashing into the small crowd of people who yelps.

The director is on the ground with his hand over his face, where he was slapped. He can't believe that he just got hit.

This is no longer a joke to Angus, the man just slapped the director.

The strange rich man was angrily speaking about stupid directors who behave as if they run somewhere that doesn't belong to their father, as he takes out his phone.

Angus comes closer to him. Oh no, this was surely a prank or an expensive mistake.

"Okay, I'm sorry, but I don't think you have the right Mister Knighton," Angus says to him.

Somehow, in Angus' mind, there is coincidentally another "Mister Knighton" that this man thinks is him.

The man looks at Angus with a quick smile.

"Don't worry, I am pretty sure that I've got the right person, I will handle this," He assures.

He taps around his phone quickly and places it against his ear as he stands akimbo.

The director is holding his face, angrily looking at the strange man. He is convinced that this is all just a show, but he doesn't know that he has met his downfall.

"Hello, yes, this is Lorenzo." Strange man says. "Yes, I want to buy Goldwater Hospital because I have been offended by a stupid director here."

Angus looks around in shock, he did not miss the gasp that leaves the lips of everyone.

Is this a joke? Perhaps a huge budget prank because what the hell is this man talking about?!

The director laughs out to the hearing of everyone and he points an accusing finger at Angus.

"Okay, I must admit that you are very committed to playing this sick game!" He is humored. "You've fooled everyone, but not me!"

"Listen–" Angus rubs between his eyebrows.

"No, you actually found a psycho to support this bullshit of yours!"

Lorenzo lowers the phone partially and casts a glare at the director. His annoyance with the director is growing by the minute.

"You still think that this is a game, you stupid twat?!"

The director claps his hands and laughs even more. He is finding this hilarious.

"As much as I am enjoying this, I am going to put this to an end." He says. "Not only am I going to kick your half-dead mother and your actor out, I am going to get the police to throw you into jail! You dare assault me?!"

Angus sighs heavily, slapping his hand over his forehead, he can't believe that he has gotten into even bigger trouble.

Lorenzo is calm, his hands are folded as if the word "jail" doesn't scare him.

Angus is trying to beg the director even more, he is even angry with this man for adding even more to his problem.

"Please, my mother–"

"When I am done with you all, even your mother would wish that she wasn't born." The director goes on. "You won't even have the nerve to ever look me in the eyes–"

The director would have gone with his insults and threats, but his phone is loudly ringing in his pocket.

Angus feels the pain in his heart growing, this is single-handedly the worst day of his life.

The director decides to pause to answer the call, he will deal with these lowlifes later.

His face stills when he sees that his boss, Mister Goldwater, is the one calling.

He suddenly changes from his arrogant character and looks more meek, he clears his throat before he answers the call.

"Hello, Mister Goldwater–"

The smile leaves his face and it turns white immediately. His phone was on speaker, everyone could hear his boss on the other end.

"You stupid, stupid boy! What have you done?!" His boss blasts him.

He looks around, his face is red with embarrassment.

"I am very sorry, sir, but I don't think I know what you are talking about." He laughs nervously.

"I don't know what you were thinking when you offended an acquaintance of the richest family in the country and now our hospital has been purchased by them because you offended them!"
