Beneath Dolan Xylon's piercing stare, Ethan lunged forward, his unguarded fist hurtling toward Adam's visage.SMACK!Despite Adam's attempts to evade, he couldn't entirely avoid the blow from his older brother. Ethan's strike landed squarely on Adam's nose, the impact sending a jolt of pain through his body as blood gushed forth instantly. The sudden violence of the altercation added a new layer of chaos to the already tense atmosphere, casting a shadow over the room as Adam reeled from the force of the blow."Bastard!"In a swift and unexpected turn of events, Adam retaliated with a lightning-fast punch, catching Ethan off guard. The force of Adam's blow landed squarely on Ethan's lips, the impact so powerful that several teeth were instantly knocked out, and his lip split open. The room fell into stunned silence as the repercussions of Adam's retaliation reverberated through the air, the sudden escalation of violence leaving both brothers reeling from the shock of the altercation.A
Adam fell into a heavy silence, his gaze locked with Dolan's as if searching for answers within the depths of his adversary's eyes. In that tense moment, a palpable sense of foreboding settled over him, a premonition of impending conflict and dire consequences. He understood all too well that if this confrontation were to persist, the outcome would be anything but favorable.Releasing his clenched fist, Adam drew in a deep breath and stepped back, his expression hardened with resolve."You should depart now, Mr. Xylon. I have no further time to entertain you," Adam declared firmly, turning his gaze away to shield himself from Dolan Xylon's potential provocations, his face contorted with resentment.Dolan let out a triumphant snort before pivoting on his heel and striding away. With a dismissive wave of his hand, he uttered, "Farewell, Adam. It's been a pleasure encountering a loser like you."***That morning, Benjamin indulged in the ritual of brewing a cup of coffee with the sleek n
As Benjamin and Valerie stepped onto the terrace, their attention was drawn to the sight of their BMW X7 being unloaded by car transporters from the car dealership company. The sleek vehicle gleamed in the sunlight, a symbol of luxury and sophistication. Meanwhile, another staff member approached them, carrying a clipboard in hand. With a professional demeanor, they greeted Benjamin and Valerie, ready to assist with any necessary paperwork or inquiries regarding their new acquisition."Excuse me," he greeted with a friendly smile. "Could you please inform me which one of you is Benjamin Frost?""Of course, that would be me," Benjamin replied immediately, puzzled why such a question came up.Still wearing a smile, the staff member reiterated, "Could you kindly assist me in filling out this paperwork?"After addressing a few inquiries and completing the necessary paperwork, the receipt process was successfully concluded. With efficient precision, the personnel from the car dealership c
"And you know, Lebron," Benjamin's voice was solemn, carrying a weight of seriousness, "that I have zero tolerance for any hint of disloyalty within the Frost family." He paused, his gaze unwavering. "If the situation ever arises where Claire's dismissal becomes necessary, don't hesitate to consult with Joshua. His guidance will be invaluable in such matters."Lebron nodded in acknowledgment of Benjamin's stance. "I share your disdain for betrayal," he responded evenly. "Yet, after careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that letting go of Claire would potentially inflict more harm than good upon our endeavors."Lebron elaborated, his tone grave as he spoke of Claire's indispensable role within the Frost family's household. "Claire's tenure as a dedicated servant has afforded her access to certain sensitive information, knowledge that could prove to be invaluable to our operations," he explained. "Dismissing her abruptly would risk exposing these crucial secrets, potentiall
"Alright, I'll dispatch the container truck we've utilized for car transport in the past," said Joshua, his tone pragmatic. "By the way, didn't you suggest to Master Frost to acquire a new car of the same model? Instead of repairing the compromised vehicle, perhaps it's wiser to simply part ways with it."Understood," Lebron acknowledged, his voice tinged with a hint of resignation. "As for the suggestion, yes, I did propose the idea to Master Frost. However, he seemed adamant about retaining this particular car despite its current state. I'll proceed with the transport arrangements as planned."Joshua fell momentarily silent, his thoughts weaving through potential implications before a soft chuckle escaped him. "Lebron," he inquired once more, "do you happen to know whether the car was purchased by Master Frost himself or if it was bestowed upon him as a gift?"=Lebron remained puzzled by Joshua's inquiry, yet he maintained his composure and responded politely, "Mr. Wilson, Master Fr
At the head of the table, Frederick beamed and gazed at Dolan with sheer contentment. "It warms my heart to see how deeply you grasp the essence of our Xylon legacy, Dolan," he remarked. "Your words resonate with me as if they were my own. You're the rightful successor to this family, Dolan. If I were to depart this world today, I'd do so with absolute peace in my soul."Dolan found himself engulfed by an overwhelming tide of satisfaction as the warm currents of praise cascaded upon him. Each word of commendation served as a buoy, lifting his spirits higher and higher until he felt buoyant with elation. However, being keenly aware of familial dynamics and social decorum, he exercised prudent restraint, refraining from overtly displaying his genuine emotions in the presence of his father.With furrowed brows and a tinge of melancholy in his voice, he uttered, "Father, why speak of such things? You can't be thinking of leaving us so soon! I'm nowhere near as capable as you believe. I s
In the dimming hours of the evening, Benjamin strolled through the mall aisles alongside Valerie, their cart laden with kitchen essentials. A faint "ping!" echoed, heralding the arrival of a new message on his phone. Halting momentarily, Benjamin glanced down at the screen, where a message from Joshua awaited his attention."Master," the message from Joshua read, "Intel has just uncovered unsettling news: the head of the Scott family has met an untimely demise under dubious circumstances. Suspicions swirl around the notion that he was poisoned by an unknown intruder who infiltrated his hospital chamber and tampered with his IV tube."A solemn gravity settled over Benjamin's features as he processed the alarming revelation. He gently rested his hand on Valerie's shoulder and spoke in a hushed tone, "Val, I believe I need to excuse myself for a brief moment. I'll be back in five minutes." Valerie's gaze bore into Benjamin with suspicion, her expression sharp. "Just five minutes?" she q
Andrew's heart sank as he responded, "The CCTV technician informed us that the hospital's computer hard drive, where all the recordings are stored, sustained physical damage. As a result, a large portion of the data has either been lost or corrupted. Unfortunately, nothing can be salvaged if it's due to physical harm."Andrew continued, his tone weighed down with concern. "According to the family advisor, it's highly probable that the individual responsible for Dad's demise also breached the room and intentionally sabotaged the computer hard drive. Nevertheless, given the circumstances, there's little hope of recovering the CCTV footage from Dad's ward that fateful night—almost to the point of impossibility.""It's inconceivable for the hard drive to simply malfunction like that!" Adam exclaimed, slamming his fist against the table in frustration, aggravating the wound on his hand. "The CCTV room is under strict surveillance round the clock, so how could someone sneak in undetected an
