“Uh…” Brooks froze at the sound of the man's voice on the other end of the line.
“Speak up! You’ve called me multiple times, and now you’re just gonna stay quiet?!”
“S-sorry, sorry! Are you Mr. Morgan from Willy Investments?”
“Yes, that’s me! Who the hell are you?”
“I’m Brooks from Washington’s The Morgan Family. You’ve acquired three of our top global companies, so I wanted to get in touch and see when it might be convenient for me to come to New York and meet with you. You know, to chat. Yeah, to chat.”
“Chat about what?! You’re interrupting something important right now! I’m in Washington as we speak! Why didn’t you call during the day? Do you have any idea what I was just doing? I’ll see you at your office tomorrow! Goodnight!” Willy hung up, furious.

"God, Dad! Do you even realize what you just said?!" Aubrey shouted.Her words snapped Brooks back to his senses."I… Daughter! What just happened? What did I say?""You old fool, you just confessed to everything you’ve done!" Willy smirked."I didn’t do anything! I don’t know what you’re talking about, you brat!""Really? You’re shameless beyond belief. You don’t remember? Let me remind you." Willy took out his phone and played the recording, just as he had done before."Why?! Why can’t I, Brooks, have a son? I only have two useless daughters! Even if I had someone kidnap you and throw you away, what difference does it make? It’s been 20 years. The statute of limitations has passed—you can’t do anything!"

“Mr. Morgan, please take a seat! I’m Ko, in charge of MF&T Data. This is your seat!” Ko gestured for Willy to take the head seat in the conference room."Thank you. Please, everyone, sit. I’m here today for two reasons. First, I want to get a detailed understanding of the company’s current situation. Second, I plan to consolidate the business operations of the company’s various divisions. I know many of you have been with The Morgan Family for years, so you’ve likely heard Brooks’ outburst just now. Let me be clear—you don’t need to speculate about my identity. All you need to know is that I’m the head of Willy Investments, and I now hold the largest stake in The Morgan Family’s biggest companies.”"Understood, boss!""Good. Let’s talk.

“You’re all lying! You… ugh!” Brooks collapsed, fainting from the pressure. Aubrey, already in shock from learning her father had coerced and harassed others, stood frozen. While Brooks hadn’t treated her and Brooklyn well, he was still her father, and the situation unfolding before her left her utterly lost.“Oh, he’s passed out? Not a bad act. Paisley, get some water and splash it on his head. Then call the police!” Willy wasn’t sympathetic at all. He believed that Brooks should pay for the evil he had committed.“Yes, sir!” Paisley was quick to act. Instead of using the bottled water in the meeting room, she grabbed a ceramic cup and filled it with boiling water from the dispenser. She then doused Brooks with it without hesitation. Paisley harbored no mercy for someone like Brooks, especially given her past—almost being forced into marriage herself if not for her aunt’s fierce protection.“Ahhh! It’s burning!” Brooks screamed as he woke up, the hot water jolting him back to consciou

This is my daughter, Valentina!""Mr. Morgan, it's... it's a pleasure to meet you," Valentina said, visibly nervous."Don’t be so tense. How old are you?"Willy’s direct question about Valentina’s age caught both her and Mateo off guard."I’m 23. How about you?" Valentina, feeling awkward, answered."I’m 24.""Hmm, you're older than me, so I guess you’re like an older sister! Please, have a seat. You must have something you want to discuss with me?""Yes! Yes, Mr. Morgan! First, I wanted to see you. My brother and Penelope have spent years searching for your whereabouts, and they finally found you. I’m genuinely happy for him!

After a three-hour drive, Grayson finally arrived at Wellington Harbor. From a distance, the colossal port was dotted with boats and yachts, but what stood out the most was a massive, luxurious superyacht at the far end. Towering like a skyscraper, the yacht gleamed in white, adorned with various entertainment facilities. There was an outdoor pool, a gigantic waterslide, three elevated observation decks, and even a Ferris wheel in the middle, complete with a small bungee jumping platform on the side. The yacht exuded an aura of opulence, and its grandeur hinted at unimaginable luxuries within.On its side, the yacht's name shimmered in large letters: *Heart of the Ocean*.“Willy, we’re here. Where exactly is the reception point for that yacht or toy you mentioned?

Willy checked the updates from his various companies on his phone—everything in Washington seemed to be running smoothly. The economic crisis caused by the contagious skin disease was still affecting the market, but Willy had plenty of time and capital to weather the storm."Time to get up, sleepyhead!" Willy said, gently nudging Violet."Hmm... What time is it?" Violet asked, still half-asleep as she turned to check her phone."It's already noon!""Ah! It’s already twelve?!""Hehe, well, we did go to bed pretty late. Go take a shower. I’ve ordered some food. After we eat, let’s head back to New York. How does that sound?""Sounds great!

Caleb couldn’t help but ask, "Son, what happened to Brooks in the end?""Dad, Brooks committed numerous atrocious acts, not just what he did to me all those years ago. His behavior in the company was utterly deplorable, and everyone who worked with him knew how to protect themselves. Under my lead, many people came forward with accusations against him. My lawyers have already started the legal process, and I’m sure you don’t want to hear the gruesome details. But the reality is, Brooks is likely facing either a lifetime in prison or... well, he might just get the death penalty."Caleb sighed deeply. "Son, you must always walk the straight path.
