"Eek!" the man cried out as Tedmond twisted his arm even further. "What the heck are you doing?!"
"How dare you treat my daughter like that?!" Tedmond demanded, about to punch the man in the face when he was surrounded by several men.
Judging by their attire and demeanor, Tedmond could tell they were bodyguards. He let the man go, rose to his feet, and immediately picked up Bianca, holding her in his arms.
"Sorry I’m late," Tedmond told Bianca.
"No worries," Bianca replied.
"He dares to hit the young master of the Lin family!" one

“I am willing to work for him as long as he pays me five times my salary,” Hino admitted. “There’s no way I’ll stick with the Lin for that low pay.”Neil’s nose flared. “You! I trusted you and thought of you as my most loyal guard. How could you switch so fast?”“You said money was the best thing in life, didn’t you?” Hino retorted.“You bastard!” Neil yelled. “You’re going to regret this!”“I don’t think I will,” Hino said, no longer supporting Neil. “I asked for a salary increase to cover my daughter's medical bills, but you dismissed me and didn’t even give me more time to find something else.”Tedmond’s eyes darted to Hino. No matter what Hino’s reasons were, it didn’t change the fact that he had supported Neil in bullying Bianca. And now, Hino was trying to gain Tedmond's favor. There was no way Tedmond would keep someone like him around.Hino could leave him for someone offering more money, and that was the worst kind of guard to have.“You didn’t even give me time to see her, a

Neil sneered as he heard Tedmond on the phone. “Are you trying to make a fake call to scare me? Trust me, that doesn’t terrify me because you don’t have the power to do that. When you’re done with that fake call, you should consider my request so we can come to an agreement.”Ignoring Neil, Tedmond continued, “Send all the information about Neil Lin to my phone and inform his dear father that it’s his fault the company is in such a crisis.”“Yes, young master,” Thomas replied. “He dared to ask a five-year-old girl to be his mistress. I can’t accept that!”The call ended, and Tedmond knew Thomas would be faster than necessary. After all, Bianca was like a granddaughter to him.“How dare you call me by my name?!” Neil demanded, raising his hand to strike Tedmond, but Hino grabbed him and twisted his arm.“You can’t get close to my boss or try to strike him,” Hino said. “Do you know how long I’ve wanted to do this?”The other guards tried to interfere but stood no chance against Hino.

Sitting in the VIP room of another restaurant, Tedmond crossed his legs, his gaze fixed on the tablet in his hand as he read through the text on the screen."You're the last son of the Lin family?" he questioned. "You talked a lot, making it seem like you were the heir."After Neil had pleaded with him, Tedmond had taken him and his guards to another restaurant for a private discussion. Bianca was in another room with the guards, Junior, and Kathy.He shouldn’t have left her with them, but for some reason, he could tell they wouldn’t betray him, especially since he had dealt with the Lin family in such a short time."I am the last child, yes," Neil admitted, his voice desperate. "But that doesn’t change the fact that I made my family bankrupt. When will you return things to the way they were before?"Tedmond raised his brows. "Are you commanding me again?"Neil flinched. "Not at all.""Then will you listen to me first?" Tedmond asked.Nodding, Neil sat opposite Tedmond, his expression

The next morning, Tedmond sat in his room, studying at his computer when Neil barged in.“Are you seriously going to make me wear cam glasses?” Neil questioned, holding up a pair of glasses for Tedmond to see.Neil was fully dressed in black pants, a hot pink blouse, and matching pink heels. He wore makeup and a long blonde wig, looking more like a woman than before.“You should work on your voice,” Tedmond said. “And I don’t remember giving you permission to barge into my room.”Neil scoffed. “Yeah, yeah. But why do I have to enroll in your school?”“It’s the easiest way to see him,” Tedmond replied.“I hate studying.”“You don’t have to.”“Hmph.”Tedmond glanced at Neil, a sinister look creeping onto his face. He couldn't help but wonder what Max's reaction would be when he realized he'd dated a man.“From now on, your name will be Alicia Lin,” Tedmond told Neil. “I’ve prepared a fake ID for you, and your father agreed to it, too.”At the mention of his father, Neil flinched. “My fa

As Tedmond stepped out of the car, he was greeted by the sight of the largest and most luxurious restaurant in the city, named ‘MFR.’“We’re here,” Melody said, staring at the restaurant's sign. “It was originally called ‘My Fucking Restaurant,’ but after it grew bigger than the owner expected, he shortened it to ‘MFR.’ Same meaning, same words.”"He wanted the restaurant to sound professional, as its regular patrons were from the higher class, and only a few people knew the full meaning of the abbreviation. Most assumed it was simply the restaurant's name."Tedmond turned his head to look at her. She had taken the opportunity to put on sunglasses and a cap to hide her face from the paparazzi.His brows furrowed. Why didn’t she disguise herself when she came to pick him up?As if reading his thoughts, she grinned. “I didn’t use my disguise at your school because I wanted people to recognize me. That way, you wouldn’t be able to get a girlfriend or ignore me.”A frown crossed his face.

Tedmond listened attentively as she spoke, and when she finished, a stunned expression appeared on his face."You might laugh," she said. "They all do when I tell them. They always say no one gets into accidents all the time, and that the necklace wouldn't be bought."Tedmond looked at her; her expression seemed more downcast than when she talked about her plan for the necklace."That's a nice idea," he said. "Why would I laugh at your ideas? Even if it’s not perfect, it can be improved, not mocked."Her eyes widened in surprise. "They said it's too expensive and that no one would buy such a costly, useless necklace."Tedmond shook his head. "Detectives and investigators would.""But I heard they don’t make enough."Tedmond placed a hand on his chin, thinking. "How much do you intend to sell it for, and who’s your target audience?""About $15,000 to $150,000, depending on the quality of the earrings. I have necklaces and bracelets too, at lower but similar prices," she replied. "My ta

Lowlife? Tedmond frowned, realizing that was how he was being referred to. He glanced at the woman before him, guessing she must be a star since she seemed to know Melody, but he didn't recognize her.“He is not a lowlife,” Melody sighed. “I don’t know why you enjoy mocking people who have done nothing to you.”The woman chuckled. “I, Liliate, am the only one who can. Besides, I stole your ex-boyfriend and am currently dating him. Are you chasing younger men now so I can’t seduce them too?”Tedmond’s frown faded as he listened. Was this woman bullying Melody?“You always pick up my trash,” Melody replied, unfazed. “So, it’s unsurprising that you’d brag about it.”"Melody, I must admit he is quite handsome, but he isn’t as hot as my boyfriend!" Liliate claimed. Tedmond glanced at Melody. “Who is she?”Liliate’s eyes widened. “What? How dare you not recognize me?”“Am I supposed to?” Tedmond asked, his tone indifferent. “I’ve never seen you before. How special are you that I need to kn

When Tedmond arrived in class, he was immediately surrounded by students. Since the professor hadn’t arrived yet, everyone had the chance to approach him. Most of the students around him were male, and they had some strange requests.“Are you really going to marry Melody?” one asked.“Can I get the name of her perfume?”“What color panties does she wear?”“Is her hair really that shiny?”“Can I get her underwear?”“Tell me how you made her fall in love with you and want to marry you.”“How long have you two been together?”Hearing all their questions, Tedmond realized he might need to transfer schools in the future. He couldn’t imagine enduring endless questioning like this.Just then, the professor entered the room—it was Professor Scarlett and her eyes immediately landed on Tedmond surrounded by students.“You’ve gone from being calm to disrupting my class, Tedmond,” Professor Scarlett said, drawing the students’ attention.At the sound of her voice, the students quickly scattered a

“You’re an illegitimate child,” Richard sneered, his voice dripping with disdain. “No matter what, you’d have to donate your blood anyway. It’s not like you have a choice. Don’t act like you’re doing us a favor.”Gerald added, “Yeah, Ottis is in trouble because of you. It’s time you stepped up.”“It's something that you must do,” Tina added, her grin widening since the others were taking her side. “The illegitimate child has to support the legitimate children.”Nodding her head, Evelyn liked how things were going. She even wished that Tedmond could donate his blood so that he would lose tons of blood. It reminded her of the time in the past when she had taken a certain person's blood for no valid reason.The mere thought of it brought a sinister smile on her face.“You know it is the right thing to do, right?” Evelyn said. “Ottis is in critical condition, and you have to donate the blood to him.”Harold remained silent, watching the exchange unfold. He wanted to see how Tedmond would

At the same time, Tedmond was led into the doctor’s office by a nurse. She held the door open, nodded politely, and left without a word.He narrowed his eyes as she walked away. Odd. No greeting, no explanation. Just silence.Before he could dwell on it, a voice snapped him back.“You’re here, Mr. Tedmond,” the head doctor said, glancing up from a file.Tedmond gave a small nod.“Have a seat,” the doctor said, gesturing to the chair across his desk.Tedmond sat, posture relaxed but gaze sharp. He didn’t like surprise meetings, especially not from anyone connected to the Griffins.If Thomas had known the doctor would call him, he would’ve warned him. The silence meant one thing—this was orchestrated by the Griffins.“This isn’t just a friendly chat,” Tedmond said dryly. “What do you want?”The doctor offered a faint smile. “It’s about Ottis.”Tedmond waited.“You’re listed as one of the emergency blood matches in our system, based on an old check-up. You’re one of the few who can safel
CHAPTER 238
While other things were going on, Tedmond stood outside the hospital with one hand in his pocket. He considered heading back home since he had nothing to do at the hospital.However, on second thought, he changed his mind.He was certain his men had beaten up Ottis, but not so severely that it would require a blood transfusion.'Ottis must have done something else to make himself bleed that much.' Tedmond thought.He couldn’t help but wonder if Ottis had intentionally worsened his injuries to get back at him.Pulling out his phone, Tedmond dialed Thomas’s number. Since he didn’t have the bodyguards’ contacts, he couldn’t reach them directly. If he’d known he’d need to contact them again, he would’ve gotten their numbers. But now, it was too late.“Young master,” Thomas answered on the second ring.“Did you see the report from the bodyguards?” Tedmond asked, his voice low and calm.“Yes, young master. I was about to contact you—something seems off. According to the report, Ottis only s

In the hospital ward where Vivian and Adeline sat, the beeping of machines provided the only rhythm in the heavy silence.The faint scent of antiseptic lingered in the air—sharp and cold.Vivian sat hunched at the edge of her seat, her hands clenched tightly in her lap. Her gray hair, once neatly tied back, had begun to come loose, with strands falling messily around her temples.Her eyes were red—not from crying, but from sheer exhaustion.Adeline paced near the window, arms folded tightly across her chest. Outside, the sun shone brightly, and she could see people moving about—some in wheelchairs, others deep in conversation with family members.The hallway beyond the door was quiet, save for the occasional shuffle of nurses’ shoes or the distant echo of a cough.Adeline had just told Vivian about Ottis’s current condition. Hearing that her grandson was in danger made Vivian panic.Her memory might not have been the sharpest, but she still felt pity for him.For him to be beaten that

The sound of approaching footsteps caught his attention, and he turned his head toward the noise. There, he saw Tina storming toward him, a scowl darkening her face.Before he could process what was happening, she grabbed him by the collar and yanked him down to her height, her hand raised threateningly.“I asked you a question! How dare you ignore me?” she snapped, swinging her hand toward his face.But before she could land the slap, Tedmond caught her wrist mid-air. He hadn’t expected the attack, but there was no way he’d let her hit him—not anymore.He wasn’t the same person who used to stand still and take it.“What the hell is this supposed to be?” Tedmond demanded, a deep frown forming on his face."You—!" Her scowl deepened. “How dare you grab my hand? Do you have a death wish or something?!”“Death wish?” he echoed with a bitter chuckle. “No. I’ve just finally learned to stop letting people treat me like trash.”Tina’s eyes widened, taken aback by the calm defiance in his voi

Max crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, glaring at Tedmond from the side. None of them could believe that Vivian was the same woman—they could tell she now cared about little things she never used to bother with.Adeline’s fist clenched. Ottis had told her everything that happened, and she wasn’t about to let Tedmond off the hook. But first, she needed to make sure Ottis got the blood he needed to recover. She could come back for Tedmond later.“Let’s go, Mother,” Adeline said, holding Vivian’s hand. “The doctor's office is over there. Let's get you tested.”Vivian nodded. “Alright. Let’s go.”As Adeline and Vivian headed off, Adeline turned around to give the others a subtle sign. A grin spread across her face when they nodded in response.They had understood her signal. Once she took the old lady away, Tedmond would be alone—and they could teach him a lesson.Tedmond, who had been watching, noticed Adeline’s signal. A sly grin tugged at his lips.‘I can’t wait to see wh

Hearing that question was enough to make Max boil with anger. He knew Tedmond was taking advantage of their grandmother’s favoritism, but he hadn’t expected it to go this far.Max’s lips parted, ready to retort, but before he could get a word out, Vivian cut him off.“There’s no need to argue. Like Tedmond said, he’s your little brother, and you have to take care of him,” she said. “Instead of letting him drive, you’ll drive.”That was when Max remembered this had happened before—only back then, he had been the one in the backseat while Tedmond was asked to drive.Biting his lip until it bled, Max couldn’t hide his frustration. Now the roles were reversed, and he was the one being asked to drive.As far as Max could recall, his grandmother had always treated him better than anyone else in the family. It had always felt natural for her to take his side. But now that her attention had shifted to Tedmond, it seemed like she no longer cared about him.‘I’m not going to accept this,’ Max t

Tedmond had seen Max angry before, but never this angry. This was the first time Max had yelled so much that he didn’t let anyone else speak.‘Was it because Grandma said she was going to give me the heir position?’ he wondered.“You think you’re better than me?” Max seethed. “You think you can just smile and pretend you’re the good guy? You’re not. You’re a snake. A bastard. A nobody trying to take my place.”Max took another step forward, now just inches from Tedmond’s face.“If you think I’m going to let this go… you’re dead wrong,” he said in a low, venomous tone. “You better watch your back, because I swear—I’ll make you regret ever stepping into this family.”Vivian, who was standing beside them, glared at Max, furious that he was saying things completely against her wishes.“That’s enough, Max!” Vivian scolded. “Go back to where you were standing.”Max whipped his head toward her, eyes bloodshot. “No! You don’t get to silence me! You started this—you betrayed me! Don’t expect m
CHAPTER 232
Silence filled the room. No one had expected the grandmother to offer the position of heir to Tedmond so casually—just a few words, and everything changed.Max’s eyes widened in disbelief, his face draining of color. He knew his grandmother suffered from amnesia, but he hadn’t imagined she’d go this far—handing over his rightful place to someone like Tedmond.Not only was she willing to give away everything he had worked for, she was also casting aside her own grandson.Lisa was just as stunned, her mouth hanging open. She had never imagined this would be how Max lost everything.“You can’t do that, Grandma!” Max suddenly shouted, rising from his seat. His face was livid. “How could you give my position to him like that?!”Even Tedmond, the man at the center of it all, looked taken aback. He blinked, his lips parting slightly. Sure, he knew Grandma Vivian liked him now—thanks to the amnesia—but he hadn’t expected this. Not in a million years.“That’s right!” Lisa added quickly, standi
