“What are you saying? It can't happen, this is not true…”Warner finally asked in a somewhat shaky tone, as his age and his fear started to become visible in front of everyone.This was when Liam spoke again, with a sarcastic smile on his lips. “Wow Grandpa! I don't know how to praise you… I mean, you are awesome!! Just awesome!! I wonder how hard it was to understand, especially when I myself had narrated everything. But I can guess your memory and intellect are getting severely affected as you are becoming old!”In one instant, he dropped the taunting smile and mocking tone. “Anyways! Let me give you the answer for your questions, considering your limited capabilities. So grandpa, let's start with clearing your first doubt!I am saying that I am here to take everything that belongs to me. And if, by any chance, you try to intervene, your dear Noah would instantly be sent behind the bars for something which he has really never done. As for your third and last doubt, yes, sure it is
“Liam, behave! And mind your words, is this how you speak to our elders! Our grandpa?”Noah roared, as he finally opened his mouth to speak up against Liam's rude and inconsiderate words. It had taken him a few minutes to find his voice after the darkest plot that anyone could come up with, had been narrated by his cousin– whom they had assumed dead, grieved and laid to rest three months ago. But soon after he completed his words, Liam turned to him and replied with a snark. “Yeah! This is the way I talk to my elders, do you have any problem with that? Because if you do, then I would suggest you keep your advice and objections to yourself. Because there is no way that I am going to change or even regret this tone of mine. Oldies like him, who have lived past their lifetime, deserve only this type of treatment–”“Enough! I am warning you Liam, you can't talk to our grandpa in this way.”Noah growled in a low tone, but he was interrupted by Liam's bark, who swiftly opened his mouth b
Noah felt like his world had turned upside down once again, as Liam's words found their target. The hatred lying in them would be crystal clear to anyone who might have the misfortune of standing on the receiving end. He could never have assumed that someone was even capable of having so much hate filled in their hearts, that they were truly ready to forget everything: every boundary, every relation, every line of morality. Only remembering what they wanted in their lives, and going to any extent just to get it in their hands. The scenarios from the recent past flashed in his mind, where he had to step into the business without any proper training or plan, within one day of the announcement. Though initially, they had planned to keep everything slow and implement a gradual ascension plan, according to which, he would start monitoring each area one by one. But because of that unexpected news, things had gotten really messed up, and he had to take the responsibility for everyt
Noah pulled out his phone, the date almost catching him off guard for a moment. He had been caught in a panicked state for the last five days, not even realizing how fast the time had been passing.But thankfully, his grandpa's condition had finally started to become a little normal now, now that he was pulling out of danger after five long days. There were many things he had to put on hold, because of this anxiety regarding Warner's health. Right now, Noah Kingsley, the popular tycoon had everything he could wish for– wealth, fame and popularity. However, as for Noah, who had none other than his grandfather and his wife as his family… there wasn't anything more important than the health of his grandpa and Eliana in this world. After all, family comes first.And precisely due to his belief that family comes first, he needed to talk to Liam. Since his dramatic show a few days ago at the party, he had already taken some time in silence– and it must have been enough for him to calm do
Noah rushed to his grandpa’s room; in this brief period of a few seconds at most, all the ominous possibilities had already flashed through his mind. Entering the room, he was half dreading it– only to find Warner and Eliana sitting peacefully and eating oranges, while the two of them seemed to be laughing about something.With slight confusion mixing into his relief, he took four more strides to approach them, while the question involuntarily flew out of his mouth. “What are you guys laughing about? I mean it has been so long since I've seen you this happy, grandpa! And trust me, it's really good to see you this way–”“I guess you would also end up laughing out loud, once I show you what we are laughing about…”Eliana spoke up, cutting Noah's sentence off in the middle. But before she could have completed her statement, Warner spoke up.“Oh! Ellie! He won't laugh– instead, he would be embarrassed about that.”Once he had successfully stopped her from spilling it and added to the el
“But! We can't leave Liam to go and get this deal signed, or to get the investment from them. If he does so, then he would automatically grab a great position in the Board of Directors of our empire.There is another important clause in the will, which might have the potential to change the whole inheritance game and turn it majorly in our favor, or against it. Even though the chairmanship will always be transferred down the direct bloodline, if someone out of the bloodline manages to fetch an investment of more than five billion dollars… then the chair of the company can be contested for, and the will can be challenged.”Warner finally dropped the bomb, revealing the secret weapon in front of all of them.However, while the other two were now little worried about what the future would hold, Noah was still lost in his thoughts, battling something completely different in his mind.And the moment warner paused, he opened his mouth and asked,“Grandpa, so you are telling me that you have
Noah had indeed left for France, however, the anxiety regarding Eliana and Warner's health had not left his mind for even a moment since.He was still worried about their health, and this is why he had left Stuart behind at the Edencrest Estate, tasking him with the responsibility to keep an eye on them and keep updating him every hour or so.It wasn't like there was any shortage of workers who could do the same thing, but Noah wanted the information to be as reliable and unbiased as possible. And there was no doubt that Stuart was the best person for this. He was ready to take the risk of not being identified by anyone there, but he wasn't ready to take the same risk regarding the health of his family.He arrived at his suite in the morning, while the engagement ceremony and the business dinner was supposed to be held that evening. However, there were few things he had to collect before joining the party.For this reason, he had already freshened up as quickly as he could and was on
“Liam! Calm down, dear. No one is doubting your abilities here–”“She is… she is! My own mother is doubting my abilities, dad!! I know what happened in the past was a mistake… I know it was a grave one, and we are still making up for that.”His voice cracked a little, which he tried to cover up by raising his voice even more. “I shouldn't have visited that racing track that day, with the happiness that everything is finally going to be signed under my name… if I hadn't been that drunk out of my senses because of this happiness, I wouldn't have ended up getting into that accident.”He paused for a moment as he gulped, mercilessly wiping the single tear present in his red eyes and continued again. “I know it was my mistake for getting high and driving even after being badly drunk, because if not for that stupid untimely accident, then you both wouldn't have had to ask grandpa to delay the transfer of the empire under my name.If not for this, then everything would have been under my n
