As soon as they reached the floor, the woman beside Felix rushed out even before the elevator doors opened.
Felix gave her a confused look and chose to ignore her. Then he followed out, heading towards the meeting room.
Every step he took seemed steady. No one knew how hard he was trying to keep his gaze from wandering, gazing around him in awe.
Meanwhile, inside the meeting room, the atmosphere was tense.
The Executive Council glanced at each other silently as if only a look could understand each other.
"Daddy, why don't we start right away?" Bay, Mr. Zay's eldest son, who was sitting in the first seat on the right side, spoke up after noticing some unusual looks from the people there. "The sooner the better. After all, everyone needed is already here. So, we have no more reason to stall for time."
Mr. Zay, sitting in the main seat, looked at him intently. Then he looked at some of the council, shaking their heads slowly. "Alright, let's get started!"
Bay held back his smile that was about to burst into full bloom when he heard this.
"Although I said it briefly yesterday, I think I should say it more clearly now," said Mr. Zay with a stern face. His well-built body looked authoritative wildly as he gazed over everyone present. "I, Zay Pratama, the chairman of the Zay Group, will hand over all shares and tenure to"
"Stop!" A woman's loud voice suddenly rang out as the doors opened, revealing a sexy woman standing with her breath caught in her throat.
She was the woman in the elevator: Clarita, Mr. Zay's eldest daughter.
Then she stepped quickly over to Mr. Zay. "Daddy! You can't just leave everything to someone else!"
Bay stood up and pulled Clarita's shoulder angrily. "Who are you talking about? Clarita, don't play games! This is a meeting room, and you shouldn't be here!"
Clarita turned around and looked at Bay with a frivolous smile. "Why? Why shouldn't I be here? I'm your daughter, and it's only natural that I'm here!"
"Oh yeah, about that other person I was referring to, it's you!" Clarita shouted suddenly.
"You!" Bay looked furious but couldn't say anything. So he could only stare at Clarita with a sharp gaze and clenched hands.
"Why, you don't accept?" Clarita smiled defiantly.
"Enough!" snapped Mr. Zay, pounding the table vigorously, making everyone startle and spontaneously turn to him.
He stood up and gave Clarita a flat stare. "Get out!"
Clarita looked incredulous. "Daddy!"
"Get out right now!" thundered Mr. Zay. "This is not a place you can just waltz into on a whim. And right now, we have important things to do. So get out before I call the guards to take you away."
Clarita was stunned. Even though it wasn't the first time she had been yelled at like this, she still felt hurt. With reddened eyes, she said, "Why won't everyone let me come here? Aren't I also your daughter? In your wealth, some of it belongs to me. Even if it's only a fraction of a percent, it's still mine."
Then she looked at the Council. "You're going to transfer shares and positions, right? Why aren't I and my father's other children included? After all, it's not a small thing, so we have to be present to vote."
"Clarita, what are you talking about? Come out quickly before I get even angrier," Bay grabbed Clarita's hand and pulled her out.
Clarita rebelled and screamed, "Daddy, you can't do that!"
"Shut up, Clarita!" whispered Bay warningly.
Seeing the chaos caused by one of Mr. Zay's daughters, the Executive Council began to whisper.
At the front of the room, Felix was trying to deal with the guards holding him back from entering the meeting room.
"Are you going to do this to me? Well, then, get ready for something bad," Felix said, lowering his restrained hand casually.
Before the two guards could respond, Felix had already stepped back and quickly ran forward, kicking the meeting room door open.
Everyone turned their heads and frowned at Felix's shabby-looking figure.
"Why is there a beggar here?" Bay gave Felix a disgusted look and then turned to the two guards at his side. "What are you guys doing? Hurry up and drag him out!"
"Yes, Young Master." The two guards hurriedly nodded and were about to drag Felix away.
But Felix held himself back firmly. As soon as the two guards were caught off guard, he kicked them hard until their grip slipped. Without a care, Felix rushed into the meeting room and stared at Mr. Zay intently. "Never give your shares and position to anyone!"
"What do you mean?" Bay stepped forward and pulled Felix angrily. "Go away! Beggars shouldn't be here. You should know better!"
Felix jerked Bay's hand forcefully. His face became flat with a gaze filled with anger. Once called a beggar, he could still keep quiet. But the second time, he couldn't keep quiet anymore.
"Is this the person who would hold the largest shares and the highest position? Very disappointing." Felix shook his head slowly with a dismissive smile. Then he looked at Mr. Zay and said calmly. "You'd better do a DNA test with him. For someone like you, you must have a personal doctor who can be trusted to do that strictly."
Mr. Zay had been silently staring at Felix. And once he mentioned the matter of the DNA test, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"
Before Felix could answer, Bay had already exclaimed frantically. "Dad, don't listen to him! He must be a beggar who cheats rich people out of money! He's a con artist who uses any means necessary to gamble and get drunk. Dad, ignore people like this!"
"Shut up!" Felix snapped thunderously.
His reaction was so shocking it surprised everyone.
"Are you my family, my parents? We don't know each other, yet you speak as if you know everything about me. Sir, don't always judge someone from the outside," Felix said flatly.
"Young Master, what that man said is true. You shouldn't say bad things to people you don't know," said one of the Executive Council who sat at the far end.
The rest of the Council nodded in agreement.
Bay clenched both hands tightly. His gaze was filled with hatred and anger.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Mr. Zay spoke up again. "Forgive me if I'm presumptuous, but what is your purpose in coming here and saying that?"
"I just wanted you to know that this man is not your biological son," Felix said calmly.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent and frosty.
Felix thought Mr. Zay would believe him, and the mission would be over quickly. But before he knew it, he was suddenly slapped hard. With his head, he turned to the side; Felix paused, trying to digest what had happened. Just then, Mr. Zay's angry voice rang out. "Call security and drag this crazy man out, now!" Felix turned and looked at Mr. Zay. "Sir, you must listen to me. If you don't believe me, do a DNA test. Your eldest son has been cheating all along." "Go away!" shouted Mr. Zay angrily. Immediately, several security guards arrived and dragged Felix away. "Sir, you have to do it!" shouted Felix before leaving the meeting room. Clarita, who had been silent, followed Felix's departure. Once he was out of sight, she looked at Mr. Zay and said, "Dad, what if we do it to confirm whether the man is lying or not? Whatever the outcome, we don't have any doubts anymore." Bay, smiling happily at Felix's departure, was instantly annoyed when he heard Clarita's words. "Whether th
Felix did not respond and chose to walk past him. He placed the thumb of his right hand on the small device there. The security guard turned around and gave Felix a dismissive look. He had no intention of stopping him again. Just let him do what he wanted. Once he knew the result, he would be ashamed of himself.Ting! The sound of a successful fingerprint sounded melodious. The security guard's face instantly changed. He was stunned and looked at Felix in disbelief. "How... how is that possible?" Felix smiled slightly at his nervous question. However, he had no intention of turning around. Instead, he stepped into the large courtyard as the gate slowly opened. Even as the gate slammed shut again, the security guard stood in a daze. He felt both incredulous and embarrassed. The man he thought was a crazy beggar was the owner of this house! Felix, standing in front of his house, was silent with a circling look. He still couldn't believe what he was getting right now. "EasySync,
"Honey, who is he?" asked Pablo, looking at Felix and Arista. Upon hearing this question, Arista was a little surprised. But she soon regained her composure and looked down at Felix. "He's my ex-husband that I told you about. What a useless husband!" Instantly, a frivolous smile appeared on Pablo's handsome face. He nodded and said, "It was you. No wonder Arista left you. It's-" His words trailed off as he examined Felix's appearance. "You're such a disappointment!" Arista grew even more haughty as she watched Felix fall silent without replying. "Felix, you better get out of here. I'm never going to get back together with you. Oh yeah, I'll send the divorce papers to your ugly house right away!" The security guard who heard everything his employer said suddenly felt nervous. He swallowed and quietly stepped back. Clarita frowned and came forward in annoyance. However, before she could say anything, Felix had already spoken. "Arista, just one day, you've changed so much." Arista
The journey to Mr. Zay's house took about an hour.Once there, Felix was directed to the living room.The bandage wrapped around his forehead had been replaced with a brown plaster at a nearby pharmacy. So now Felix felt more confident and walked with peace of mind.Mr. Zay, waiting in the living room, turned his head at the sound of tapping shoes. "Sit down!"Without hesitation, Felix took his place in front of Mr. Zay. As for Clarita, she immediately went somewhere else."You turned out to be handsome too," said Mr. Zay when he saw Felix's appearance, which was much different from last afternoon.Hearing that, Felix smiled and said in a joking tone. "I'm quite self-aware that my appearance was very bad. By the way, why did you call this madman here after angrily kicking him out earlier?"The look on Mr. Zay's face instantly changed. He straightened up and stared at Felix intently. "I won't apologize to you about what happened in the meeting room earlier. However, where do you know a
"It would be better if you were upfront about your true intentions. All this happened purely because of you, and there is no need to defend yourself by blaming others or expressing dissatisfaction." At that moment, Felix spoke flatly. His voice was undetectable of emotion, united with the night wind, leaving everyone silent.At first, Bay felt stunned after hearing this. But a moment later, he chuckled, which gradually became a booming laugh. He was like someone who had lost his mind. "What do you know about it?""You, a crazy man of obscure origins, wouldn't understand what a scary life I've lived because of this supposedly powerful person!" Bay's angry voice sounded thunderous.His eyes were glaring as if he wanted to destroy Felix with just his gaze. "All of this is because of you! You're destroying everything I've neatly organized over the years!"Felix's brow furrowed slightly. There was displeasure in his gaze. "Why is it my fault? Evil plans don't last long. And you should have
Mr. Zay only smiled when he heard Felix's question. He then turned his face away and slightly twisted his body with a serious expression. "I have doubts in my heart. However, my children never brought it up, let alone ordered a DNA test. I ended up suppressing everything in my heart. However, the guilt in my heart cannot be eliminated."Felix listened carefully. He unconsciously nodded slowly, understanding Mr. Zay's position as a parent who had lost his son for several years.Mr. Zay turned his body to look at Felix. "It just so happens that you came and said what I've wanted to hear. Therefore, I had no hesitation in doing so. Felix, I am truly grateful to you."When he heard such earnest thanks, Felix could not help but be embarrassed. He turned his face away and said, "It's just a small thing, no need to thank me.""I'll be going then," Felix continued, quickly walking to the car that would take him home and getting in.Mr. Zay chuckled at his antics. He took a few steps back and
"Young master Felix-" "No, just call me Felix," Felix interrupted quickly. The older man who had just spoken immediately nodded in understanding. However, just as he was about to resume his delayed words, Felix spoke again casually. "I don't know your names yet. How do I call them? I can't stay silent while you explain. It would be awkward and unfamiliar if that happened. I want us to behave and talk casually. Think of me as your student or perhaps your child." When the two older men heard this, they looked at each other and laughed awkwardly. Then, the man on the right stood up and bowed slightly for self-introduction. "My name is Myron. Since you don't want to be called young master, call me by my name." The man next to him also stood up and did the same. "You can call me Mosha. We are the business teachers of the Pratama family since Great Lord Zay was a teenager." "Alright. You may return to your seats." Felix nodded and gave them a friendly look. The two of them could be fri
In the morning, just as the two older men had said last night, today Felix dressed neatly to start work. A light blue shirt with black cloth pants, shiny black shoes, a touch of tie, and a fancy watch on his left hand. His appearance looks clean and refreshing.He looked at his reflection in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction."EasySync, it's time to start something new. Cheer up!" After ensuring everything was perfect, Felix turned around and left the house carrying his briefcase.[Cheer up, Sir!]Felix snorted amusedly. "Why did you just show up?"However, the EasySync system no longer responded, making Felix shake his head and chuckle softly.As Felix opened the gate to wait for his ordered taxi, Arista's figure appeared. She was standing right in front of the gate, and as soon as she saw Felix come out, she immediately approached. "Felix, you've gone too far. Even if you went crazy because of my abandonment and poverty, you can't kill another person just to occupy his house!
